Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 28 Dec 2017

The thing that makes the film most interesting is its function as a bridge between two paradigms, really two distinct generations, Boomers…

Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 28 Dec 2017

The Shape of Water adds the species barrier to [the film's] group of segregating factors, and in so doing folds in an even larger idea, namely…

Review of Jane (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 29 Nov 2017

The transcendent ending of the film is not unlike a dance…

Review of Jane (2016)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 29 Nov 2017

The transcendent ending of the film is not unlike a dance…

Review of It (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 14 Sep 2017

It is unfortunate that the film is as diagrammatic as an algebra equation. Actually, I believe that algebra is more terrifying than old Pennywise…

Review of Logan Lucky (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 31 Aug 2017

If nothing else, see the film for Craig's portrayal of pure larcenous joy. It is a thing of beauty, as white hot as his livid blue eyes…

Review of A History of Violence (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

That's what Cronenberg is up to here; although the film has an overly facile, glossy edge to it, it's the very polish that makes you question…

Review of Babes in Toyland (1934)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

Revenge, Christmas, and big wooden men, does it get any better than that…

Review of It's All Gone Pete Tong (2004)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

The film is full of little throwaway bits of silliness that yield some of the funniest dialogue, much of improvised…

Review of Hitch (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

In the end, our arrogant hero is humbled and must face the fact that he has cut himself off from real feeling, the same with our heroine…

Review of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

This film is so appalling that I don't quite know where to begin…

Review of Fever Pitch (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

Fever Pitch, the newest film from the Farrelly Brothers isn't packing much heat, but the humility will kill you…

Review of Alexander (2004)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

I didn't feel particularly emotionally involved in the story. In fact half the time, I didn't even know what was going on…

Review of The Black Stallion (1979)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

Special effects, explosions, or CGI: none of these come close to a horse in full flight for pure excitement…

Review of Travellers and Magicians (2003)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

This is a film infused with easy joy, the happiness of sitting in the sun and eating an apple…

Review of Guess Who (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

In 1967, the answer was an unqualified yes, and in 2005, the answer is still, an only slightly less qualified, yes…

Review of Crazy (1999)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

There is a bit of shaggy dog quality to the film, it meanders all over the damn place, but it has charm to boot, and a marvelous soundtrack,…

Review of Million Dollar Baby (2004)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

Its very conventionality is what makes it so compelling; we've seen this before, but it still gets us every time…

Review of The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

On screen that takes about one minute in the final consummation, but in the case of the 40-Year-Old-Virgin, the film, the audience gets screwed…

Review of Double Dare (1976)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 23 Aug 2017

While the story is ostensibly about the paths of Zoe and Jeannie, it also a peek behind the scenes of Hollywood…
