The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “Hughes is clearly of the impression that he knows a lot about kids and the way they think. He is, for the most part, mistaken... Yet this is a movie well worth seeing, if only for the performances, which are without exception excellent.” – Toronto Star Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% 4/4 “The unique matching of voice to visual makes each of the characters sing, in the figurative as well as the literal sense. ” – Toronto Star Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 2/5 “Even if Disney's Pocahontas can be considered a failure in almost every significant respect -- and, regrettably, it can -- it is only in relation to their own, impossibly high standards. ” – Toronto Star Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% “Once Beetlejuice gets moving, with its wonky characters and its unbelievably strange special effect, the most unorthodox storyline is the most normal thing about it. ” – Toronto Star Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% “Not only is Alien 3 less than the sum of its parts, its parts don't add up to a cohesive whole. Hell, they don't even add up to parts.” – Toronto Star Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 4/5 “The story, the script and the characters are as inconsequential as a mild spring breeze -- but the special effects will blow you away.” – Toronto Star Jul 16, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 4/5 “It is the best prison movie since Papillon. And the best Stephen King adaptation since Stand By Me.” – Toronto Star Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 5/5 “It is everything you have heard, and many things you haven't. Audacious, outrageous, indulgent, extreme. Mischievously brutal. Giddily visceral. Wildly enthusiastic. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Mad, bad and dangerous to know.” – Toronto Star Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% 5/5 “It would be hard to imagine a more perfect marriage of personalities, sensibilities and talents than that which has been assembled here.” – Toronto Star Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 83% 4/5 “We are being asked to spend inordinate amounts of our time sitting through a single movie... Be that as it may, and much as I hate to encourage this sort of thing, I cannot come up with a single second of Heat that I could have done without.” – Toronto Star Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Broken City (2013) 26% 1/4 “Did these people - or even these people's people - not bother to read the script first?” – Toronto Star Jan 20, 2013 Full Review Monsters, Inc. (2001) 96% 3/4 “The movie itself stands up well, even from an adult, two-dimensional perspective.” – Toronto Star Dec 18, 2012 Full Review Sushi Girl (2012) 57% 2/4 “We can't all be Quentin Tarantino, but that doesn't stop some people from trying.” – Toronto Star Dec 6, 2012 Full Review Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet (2012) 83% 3.5/4 “What gets you is the smile, which first lights up his face, and then the room, reflected by everyone else who is in it.” – Toronto Star Dec 6, 2012 Full Review The Suicide Shop (2012) 71% 3/4 “The animation is great, in its stark, mostly monochromatic way, but the music merely serviceable.” – Toronto Star Nov 29, 2012 Full Review Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy (2011) 15% 3/4 “Ecstasy is to ecstasy what Trainspotting was to heroin. Different times, different drugs, but the Scotland-set story of addiction and redemption is pretty much the same.” – Toronto Star Nov 22, 2012 Full Review Ping Pong (2012) 95% 3/4 “A charming and even inspirational doc that follows eight medal-winning veterans of the sport on their way to and through the 15th annual World over-80s Table Tennis Championship.” – Toronto Star Nov 22, 2012 Full Review MacGruber (2010) 47% 1/4 “Another one of those flicks where anything worth laughing at is contained in the commercials.” – Toronto Star May 20, 2010 Full Review Shrek Forever After (2010) 58% 2.5/4 “It now requires nothing less than the retroactive destruction of Shrek(TM)s idyllic family life to inject some necessary conflict back into the franchise. If you can(TM)t fix something that isn(TM)t broke, your only recourse is to break it.” – Toronto Star May 20, 2010 Full Review Terminator Salvation (2009) 33% 1.5/4 “How could such a great idea go so horribly, horribly wrong?” – Toronto Star May 20, 2009 Full Review JCVD (2008) 82% 3/4 “The film's odd conceit is its primary strength, with Van Damme in a nakedly honest, bravely candid turn that for the first time in his career can be commended as 'acting'.” – Toronto Star Nov 14, 2008 Full Review Max Payne (2008) 16% 1/4 “Maybe somebody decided the movie was already so convoluted and leaden that throwing in a few swooping, screeching valkyries could only help. They do not.” – Toronto Star Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Ghost Town (2008) 85% 3/4 “Through it all there always shone this subtle, gleeful naughty schoolboy charm, not quite a full-on wink at the audience, but a tacit acknowledgement that sometimes even total jerks can exhibit an endearing charm.” – Toronto Star Sep 19, 2008 Full Review Balls of Fury (2007) 22% 1.5/4 “The movie's big lug of a lead, Dan Fogler...could be dismissed as a poor man's Jack Black.” – Toronto Star Aug 29, 2007 Full Review War (2007) 14% 3/4 “All-the-way-through good, from explosive start to bloody finish, without so much as a momentary lag in the action or the story.” – Toronto Star Aug 24, 2007 Full Review
