Review of The House of Yes (1997)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 23 Aug 2009

But it is bright, smart, sometimes wickedly funny, and crisply performed to the point where the acting seems richer than the script…

Review of Murder by Numbers (2002)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 23 Aug 2009

This is the kind of film where the audience has to sort through the sequences, like visiting the green grocer's: liked that bit, can do without those…

Review of Oscar and Lucinda (1997)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 21 Aug 2009

In a sometimes misguided narrative, their scenes together are right on track -- they add lightness, even a shimmering hint of humour, to a…

Review of Death at a Funeral (2007)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 13 Aug 2009

Most British actors are awfully good at underplaying the overwritten, and this group, headed by Matthew Macfadyen, Rupert Graves and Daisy…

Review of U.S. Marshals (1998)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 13 Aug 2009

Who really wants to go to an escape movie and have to work this hard to figure it out…

Review of Dig! (2004)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 11 Aug 2009

Timoner offers a resonant, often painfully funny, drama about two good friends who become enemies against the backdrop of the pop-music business…

Review of Conan the Barbarian (1982)

By Jay Scott (240) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 09 Aug 2009

A series of meaningless adventures punctuated with a lot of clanky, very bloody swordplay, Conan the Barbarian is best remembered for a scene…

Review of Mistress (1992)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 09 Aug 2009

Although Mistress has the spirited participation of De Niro et al, the in-jokiness seems to wear itself out…

Review of A Lot Like Love (2005)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 06 Aug 2009

Too often, the script collapses into what feels like improvisation, in which the characters find a kind of common ground: Infantilism…

Review of Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 06 Aug 2009

Hard-working to a fault, this is a movie that's all effort and no direction, a movie completely lacking in what its hero eventually finds --…

Review of The Brothers Solomon (2007)

By Stephen Cole (251) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 01 Aug 2009

There is no getting these boys down. They are just like Lloyd and Harry in the Farrelly brothers' breakthrough 1994 hit, Dumb & Dumber…

Review of Femme Fatale (2002)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 29 Jul 2009

Even if it's accepted simply as glitter-sprayed trash, sophomorically plotted and incompetently acted, Femme Fatale is a uniquely De Palma…

Review of Bride of Chucky (1998)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 26 Jul 2009

Other than a few gratuitous montage sequences, plus a patently clumsy echo of the shopping scene in Pretty Woman, Marshall refuses to pull…

Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 21 Jul 2009

Parents can vaguely console themselves, however, that amid the kiddie pollution available on Saturday morning TV, the Turtles rank slightly…

Review of Fidel (2002)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 17 Jul 2009

Estela Bravo's film Fidel, The Untold Story has the kitsch appeal of a farm implement on a restaurant wall, or an Andy Warhol Mao poster: Interesting,…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 16 Jul 2009

Like similar English comedies, it also teeters on the mawkish…

Review of Meet Dave (2008)

By Stephen Cole (251) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 15 Jul 2009

Actually, as Eddie Murphy PG comedies go, Meet Dave isn't bad. In fact, it's kind of sweet, innocent almost – kid-friendly in the best sense…

Review of The Last Seduction (1994)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Jul 2009

Legs flashing and eyes smouldering and brain scintillating, Fiorentino serves up each facet with venomous glee - it's a performance that mixes…

Review of Tadpole (2002)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 07 Jul 2009

Both Stanford and Neuwirth are excellent in tricky parts, yet screenwriters Heather McGowan and Niels Mueller abruptly end the story just as…

Review of Righteous Kill (2008)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Jul 2009

In pairing the two icons, Righteous Kill is definitely an event. What it isn't is much of a movie. Such a waste…
