Review of Avenue Montaigne (2006)

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

There is a complicated centre to this confection, but the magic that is Paris comes wafting through like sweet perfume…

Review of Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

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

The corn pone elements begin to stack up -- the swelling strings, the tearful father-son moment, the syrupy voiceover -- and the film starts…

Review of Paprika (2006)

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 Our Daily Bread (2006)

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

This near-wordless film depicts industrialized agriculture in all its mundane horror. As E…

Review of Zero Degrees of Separation (2005)

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

Review of Colma: The Musical (2006)

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

Colma: The Musical is sweet, odd and utterly charming…

Review of Old Joy (2006)

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

It's the world contained in a single moment, or what one of the characters calls a giant teardrop of the universe, falling forever through…

Review of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

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

Review of The Host (2006)

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

Imagine, if you will, the great white shark from Jaws clambering out of the water and attacking people on land, and you'll have some sense…

Review of Miami Vice (2006)

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

It's hard to understand what anyone is actually saying in this film…

Review of Black Snake Moan (2006)

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

I still can't decide if the film is serious or not. If it is, this causes some major problems, since the morality it espouses is nuts…

Review of District B13 (2004)

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

Urban ills are pretty much the same worldwide. But it's the very Frenchness of the film that makes it amusant…

Review of Open Season (2006)

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 Colossal Youth (2006)

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

There is a strange type of anonymity to this film, as if the personality behind the camera has utterly vanished, allowing what is depicted,…

Review of Nanny McPhee (2005)

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

As Nanny McPhee's hideousness melts slowly away, the film packs a sweet punch, but there is still a spoonful of medicine in amongst the concoctions…

Review of Shortbus (2006)

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

Those with small bus issues, cast aside your inadequacies and embrace the juicy pumping heart of this oddly sweet film…

Review of Everything's Gone Green (2006)

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

Pretty but shallow is often a complaint about Vancouver, and Everything's Gone Green suffers from the same problem…

Review of To Return (1982)

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

This is a woman's picture in the best sense of the term, anchored by bravura turns from Penelope Cruz and Carmen Maura…

Review of The Trotsky (2010)

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