Review of The Great Debaters (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 21 Jan 2008

The Great Debaters handles conventions well, making an important piece of history affecting and resonant…

Review of Cloverfield (2008)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 21 Jan 2008

Besides disinterest, the only emotion it incites is the emotion of wanting to throw up…

Review of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 15 Jan 2008

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 15 Jan 2008

Review of First Sunday (2008)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 15 Jan 2008

Combining the hijinks of the Friday series with the spiritual bent of Tyler Perry's work seems like an obvious move…

Review of Mad Money (2008)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 15 Jan 2008

Though Mad Money isn't despicable like Because I Said So, it's not recognizably human either…

Review of 3:10 to Yuma (1957)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 02 Sep 2007

3:10 to Yuma's sanitized view is flatly middlebrow - even the line readings are delivered to make convenient actor showcase clips on award shows…

Review of 3:10 to Yuma (2007)

3:10 to Yuma's sanitized view is flatly middlebrow - even the line readings are delivered to make convenient actor showcase clips on award shows…

Review of Halloween (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 30 Aug 2007

Once it steps into a remake of the Carpenter film in its second half, it loses its seriousness…

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 28 Aug 2007

Taking offense to a film about tolerance just because it's aimed squarely at Middle America is itself intolerant…

The young and old cast division creates a colourful world of people and ideals…

Review of Superbad (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 28 Aug 2007

Superbad has one detail I've never seen in a teen movie before: The sight of kids drinking alcohol and gagging after every swig…

Review of Balls of Fury (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 27 Aug 2007

Balls of Fury is intended as a spoof of Enter the Dragon…

Review of Captivity (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Jul 2007

The irony is that Captivity is ABOUT the things it's hated for - a culture that views women as objects, fascination with death and mutilation,…

Review of Sicko (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 07 Jul 2007

No other major filmmaker patronizes his audience this much…

Review of Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 07 Jul 2007

It finds the defining spirit of these films and maintains it about half the time…

Review of Paris Je T'aime (2006)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 21 Jun 2007

Even the downbeat segments are optimistic, and that's what unifies them…

Review of Hostel: Part II (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 21 Jun 2007
