Review of Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

The film is strictly paint by numbers, although in a slick and polished way. You barely notice you're being manipulated…

Review of Eve and the Fire Horse (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Fire Horse is a nice enough film, but at the risk of being a curmudgeon, I am hard pressed to see what all the fuss is about…

Review of Away from Her (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Review of Into Great Silence (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

…

Review of Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

There is ample material to pick from, but it is often the quieter, more befuddled moments, when all the band's bluster tapers off, and the…

Review of The Trials of Darryl Hunt (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Hunt spent the next 20 years of his life trying to prove his innocence, and documentary filmmakers Annie Sunberg and Ricki Stern captured more…

Review of The Lives of Others (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

The worst crime that this film has to offer is pure old simple dumbness, paper-thin characters, and a plot that leans heavily on artiness to…

Review of The Gumball Rally (1976)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

I don't know why I like this film. If I thought about it too much, I probably wouldn't…

Review of Electric Shadows (2005)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Director Xiao Jiang has a easy way with the proceedings in the beginning of the movie, but the film loses its way in the latter half when Ling…

Review of The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

There isn't anything unexpected here; it's the usual clichés: women are nasty cows who blithely undercut each other for jobs, and men are…

Review of Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

The film is one of those rare beasts, with a sense of genuine permanency…

Review of The Night of the Hunter (1955)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

A film might start out its life as trash, and somewhere over the course of time, become art, in the same fashion that a lump of coal subjected…

Review of Inland Empire (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

The one thing that David Lynch can do is to leave you with a lingering feeling…

Review of Paprika (1991)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Paprika has the curious effect of making you feel strangely happy afterwards, as if some internal load you hadn't even realized you were carrying…

Review of Paprika (1959)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Paprika has the curious effect of making you feel strangely happy afterwards, as if some internal load you hadn't even realized you were carrying…

Review of Grindhouse (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

The one thing that became evident to me, while watching Tarantino's homage to sewer cinema, is that even while the flesh is melting and being…

Review of Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Pollack is not a particularly introspective documentary maker; he is content to let his subject merely expound and ramble at length…

Review of Open Season (1974)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Open Season is just about everything that's wrong with modern culture…

Review of Ghost Rider (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017

Review of Children of Men (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 22 Aug 2017
