MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Man’s Best Client
Dog on Trial is one of those movies that shouldn’t really work, but somehow kind of does.
Comfort Food
The Solitary Gourmet is one part food movie, one part travelogue, all TV series.
Lots of Pain, MInimal Gain
Seems like the One Man Army is a thing now. Add Novocaine to the canon.
Love Scam: Take 2
Aside from positing 38 is practically dead, Salli is an inoffensive coming of romantic age drama.
Zero Sum Filmmaking
You think you know what you’ll get in Detective Chinatown 1900, but you’d be wrong.
Mostly Bearable
Maybe the thin air got to the creatives behind Paddington in Peru and left them a touch lightheaded.
Still Waiting…
Italy’s 2023 box office champ There’s Still Tomorrow and director Paola Cortellesi have a few things to say. Sit down, Barbie.
Great Showmen
Better Man takes its central metaphor to extremes and turns the biopic on its head.
On Your ‘Mark’
Here’s something you don’t see everyday: the Canuck immigration tale. Behold, Fresh Off Markham.
Reality Bites
Love in the Big City will make you want a do-over with your best LGBTQ+ pal.
Let’s ‘Dance’
Tom Hardy and Kelly Marcel give Venom a fitting if scattered send-off in Venom: The Last Dance. We think.
Beauty is a Beast
The Substance is angry, cathartic, "Fuck you" filmmaking of the best kind and Demi Moore is a treasure.
Veteran Actioners
Ryoo Seung-wan + Hwang Jung-min = Ka-ching! Or at least it should for I, the Executioner.
No Disguises
Holy crap, is this a good Transformers movie? Yup, Transformers One is a good Transformers movie
