Review of It's Complicated (2009)

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

In this insanely privileged world, there isn't much for the rich white folks to do except carry on like their pubic hair is on fire…

Review of Ratatouille (2007)

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

I won't spoil the broth, but suffice to say Ratatouille is a bursting with bright flavors, some spice, and deep warmth that settles in your…

Review of Autism: The Musical (2007)

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

Regan's film tackles the subject of autism in an entirely intimate and personal way, following a group of autistic kids as they write and perform…

Review of Electroma (2006)

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

But despite the clichés, the overblown music, the sweeping cinematography, and a number of very identifiable film references, the film succeeds…

Review of Quiet City (2007)

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

Adulthood. . .looms on the horizon, but it is forestalled for an instant, or maybe forever…

Review of Superbad (2007)

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

Yes, Superbad is a boy's story, so a certain perspective should be expected, and it's not the cheerful filth that bothers me, nor even the…

Review of Australia (2008)

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

Australia strains hard for epic Gone with the Wind territory, but it is undone by its own hubris, although, to be fair, the scenes of the Australian…

Review of Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)

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

Taxi to the Dark Side. . .examines the war in Iraq with clear-eyed rage…

Review of The Hangover (2009)

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

This is lazy, condescending half-assed filmmaking. When in doubt, simply slap a piece of rap music overtop of the action…

Review of Kung Fu Panda (2008)

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

Kung Fu Panda is pretty much like it sounds…

Review of The Dungeon Masters (2008)

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

The silent language of resentment, yearning, frustration and love captured by famed cinematographer Lee Daniel (Slacker) is often so thick…

Review of Let the Right One In (2008)

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

Every drop of blood is well-earned, and often well deserved…

Review of Ballast (2008)

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

Its sense of space and time contains not only sadness and boredom, but something more curious, the resilience of newly born hope, like a slender…

Review of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

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

An obvious homage to the great screwballs of the past, films in which women were zany, mad things, and men were sticks in the mud, Miss Pettigrew…

Review of Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

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

The fact that the story takes place in an imagined world in the most genuinely real of ways is the film's most refreshing and deeply charming quality…

Review of RiP!: A Remix Manifesto (2008)

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

The film is so wadded full with ideas that they come squishing out the sides…

Review of Sicko (2007)

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

Sicko offers still plenty to get riled up about, but the firebrand ire of Fahrenheit 9/11 seems to have mellowed a little…

Review of Secrecy (2008)

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

It is also beautifully crafted, filled with slippery bits of black and white animation that graphically illustrate some of the points being made…

Review of 3:10 to Yuma (2007)

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

3:10 to Yuma, director James Mangold's new duster features the toothsome duo, plus a bevy of time-tested conventions -- a white hat, a black…

Review of Knocked Up (2007)

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

It might look slightly risqué but the message remains the same: get married, stay married and buy lots of stuff…
