Review of The Parent Trap (1961)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

There is a reason the original Parent Trap has stood the test of time…

Review of Semi-Pro (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Semi-Pro has a lot of problems, not the least of which is that it is simply bone lazy in terms of plot development, story and pretty much everything…

Review of Gran Torino (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Aside from the somewhat dubious pleasure of Eastwood's tuneful noodlings, Gran Torino is not a very good film…

Review of Welcome to the Sticks (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Like any fish out of water story, the fun lies in the details, and to its credit, Welcome to the Sticks supplies them with polish…

Review of Recipes For Disaster (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Sometimes things blow up completely…

Review of Salute (1999)

…

Review of Bee Movie (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Seinfeld's dry delivery makes for a certain adult sensibility, but even the horde of celebrity cameos can't really lift the story off the ground…

Review of Act of God (2009)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

For a documentary that's ostensibly about people being struck by lightning, it's a quiet and deeply philosophical treatise, filled with subtle…

Review of Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Boogie Man is an incredibly timely and relevant film that uncovers the origins of political dirty pool (Atwater was the architect of much of…

Review of Act of God (2009)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Review of Tuya's Marriage (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

It's beautiful and ordinary, strange and utterly familiar all at the same time -- a wonderful film…

Review of Salute (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

…

Review of True Grit (2010)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

But the Coen brothers' version of Portis's story, despite its pedigree, large budget, and superlative thespians, lacks a full-on punch…

Review of X-Men: First Class (2011)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

X-Men doesn't really know what it wants to be: a camp-fest, a super gay love story, a celebration of '60s comic book style, or a semi-solemn…

Review of Burlesque (2010)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

To be clear, Burlesque itself isn't worth writing about: the plot is shopworn, the acting oddly awkward and stilted…

Review of Shame (2011)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

the final questions lingers, what exactly is the point…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

It is a rare film that can take two icons of toughness, namely Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, and make them into laughing stock, but Cowboys…

Review of Idiocracy (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

The film was shelved good and hard after its initial release, and it's not difficult to see why. It's just a little too close to genuine reality…

Review of The Kids Are All Right (2010)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

A certain smugness creeps into the corners of The Kids Are All Right. Morality doesn't have to mean Puritanism, but there is something of that here…

Review of Jane Eyre (2011)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 20 Aug 2017

A film adaptation of a novel, especially one as iconic as Charlotte Brontë's 1847 opus is little like musical medley, or perhaps, an overture…
