Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 2/4 “...while matters such as plot and performance might be sorely lacking...the movie successfully raises the bar in terms of digital animation, merchandise-friendly characters and stay-tuned franchise loyalty.” – Toronto Star Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% 2/5 “Talky and strangely static for an all-cartoon Tarzan, Disney's version feels less the result of inspiration than obligation. As in "what'll-we-animate-now?" obligation.” – Toronto Star Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Fire Song (2015) 88% 2/4 “Jones's Fire Song lays a heavy weight of despair on its thin frame, and the pressure bears down most heavily on his non-professional cast.” – Globe and Mail May 13, 2016 Full Review Backcountry (2014) 92% 3/4 “Backcountry thrives in the close-quarter details: the verbal knife-pricks of a dying relationship, the jangling impact of the smallest sounds breaking silence, that dread certainty that you're completely lost and it's getting dark.” – Globe and Mail Aug 28, 2015 Full Review Suite Française (2014) 75% 2.5/4 “A sturdy enough but ultimately overpolite entry into the classic wartime women's melodrama, in which war's impact on the lonely heart is nearly as devastating as the havoc wreaked on limb and landscape.” – Globe and Mail Jul 3, 2015 Full Review Wet Bum (2014) 100% 2.5/4 “MacKay's movie has a consistent visual tone of almost drowsy drabness, but that's the point: This is the world Sam will learn to see beyond and swim clear of.” – Globe and Mail May 15, 2015 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% 3/4 “A double-barrelled shotgun enema straight to the senses, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road is an exercise in relentless, pedal-to-the-metal momentum that can only qualify as savagely pleasurable.” – Globe and Mail May 15, 2015 Full Review Desert Dancer (2015) 30% 2/4 “There would seem to be only one thing that the act of dancing cannot free the characters in Desert Dancer from, and that's the movie they're in.” – Globe and Mail Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Cut Bank (2014) 38% 2/4 “Quite apart from the equally apparent lack of the Coens's extraordinary visual acuity, Cut Bank comes up short because it simply presumes that guilt and evil already live in town, just waiting for us to arrive and see the show.” – Globe and Mail Apr 10, 2015 Full Review The Salt of the Earth (2014) 94% 3/4 “Direct-to-camera testimonials are the movie's troubled heart, and raise the inescapable question of what happens to a soul when it gets to the point where it's simply seen too much.” – Globe and Mail Apr 10, 2015 Full Review Home (2015) 53% “A big, fat happy meal of a movie ...” – Globe and Mail Mar 27, 2015 Full Review Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) 19% 1.5/4 “Not only is Hopkins's Freddy incomparably more charismatic than any of his captors, he's the only one who, weirdly enough, seems to be enjoying the ordeal. But maybe that's simply a matter of pay scale.” – Globe and Mail Mar 6, 2015 Full Review The Duke of Burgundy (2014) 94% 3.5/4 “There's voyeurism, fetishism, bondage, lingerie and high-flown naughtiness galore, but that's hardly the movie's most conspicuous achievement.” – Globe and Mail Feb 27, 2015 Full Review Wild Card (2015) 30% 2.5/4 “There will be abundant laying waste of unworthy opponents, and the groans you hear will not be his.” – Globe and Mail Jan 30, 2015 Full Review The Boy Next Door (2015) 12% 1/4 “It isn't just bad and ridiculous, it's fulsomely, wholeheartedly and right down-to-its-DNA bad and ridiculous.” – Globe and Mail Jan 23, 2015 Full Review Blackhat (2015) 33% 1.5/4 “About as thrilling and current as a first-generation Atari game system, an exercise in sleek redundancy where words like "malware" and are supposed to generate shivers of excruciating anticipation.” – Globe and Mail Jan 16, 2015 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% 2.5/4 “As uncomplicatedly likeable and effortlessly rootable as its main character and star, The Imitation Game ultimately wins at any easy game, when it could have risked - and revealed - so much more.” – Globe and Mail Dec 12, 2014 Full Review Wild (2014) 88% 3.5/4 “It's a movie in which you can feel the spirit of the material infusing the filmmaker both as an artist and as a human being, and what results is that thing that occurs when even the simplest of songs sends sparks to the soul.” – Globe and Mail Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Serena (2014) 17% 2.5/4 “One of those movies that proves that the mere presence of all the right ingredients does not a happy meal make. It's all in the mixing.” – Globe and Mail Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Penguins of Madagascar (2014) 74% “Leaving the cute to the bigger kids on the block, with this movie, Dreamworks is opting for pure crazy. And sure enough, the strategy, this time anyway, has paid off in the most unnatural dividend imaginable: darned if these penguins don't fly.” – Globe and Mail Nov 26, 2014 Full Review The Homesman (2014) 81% 2.5/4 “It's as stubbornly and cantankerously eccentric as both its wagon drivers, not to mention driven to blaze its own trail through the narrative and mythological landscape of America's defining story form.” – Globe and Mail Nov 21, 2014 Full Review Rosewater (2014) 76% 2.5/4 “It's a movie made for people who prefer to take their politics while sitting on the couch.” – Globe and Mail Nov 14, 2014 Full Review Big Hero 6 (2014) 90% 2.5/4 “Consider it a more family-friendly Guardians of the Galaxy, with the added kiddie appeal of a big, inflatable windbag to laugh at and love.” – Globe and Mail Nov 7, 2014 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 62% 3.5/4 “Cronenberg's vision is as bright as a sunlamp, sterile as an operating theatre and still as a morgue.” – Globe and Mail Oct 31, 2014 Full Review The Green Prince (2014) 76% “It's a movie that raises as many questions as it addresses, and which never quite convincingly answers even the most pressing one: Just what made the son of a radical Palestinian-liberation leader go to work as an Israeli spy?” – Globe and Mail Oct 17, 2014 Full Review
