Red Rock West (1993) 95% EDIT “There's a lot of cleverness in Red Rock West, but unfortunately, John and Roger Dahl's inventive screenplay is undermined by John Dahl's pedestrian direction.” – National Post Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Towelhead (2007) 49% 2.5/5 EDIT “Too much of Towelhead is pitched on a hysterical, one-dimensional note, with Jasira being consistently mistreated in one way or another by pretty much everyone she encounters -- a reverse Candide for our cynical times.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Young People F...ing (2007) 41% 2.5/5 EDIT “Actually a pretty staid affair, showing much less nudity than most R-rated films and coming down firmly, for the most part, in the pro-monogamy camp.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 3, 2008 Full Review Berlin (2007) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “A well made concert film that will, nevertheless, fail to satisfy Reed's many dedicated fans.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 18, 2008 Full Review Meet Bill (2007) 20% 2.5/5 EDIT “Takes scattershot aim at all manner of appropriate targets-the vapid nature of local television news, the perceived stigma of standing out from the pack in America, the dilemma of dreams deferred and abandoned-but rarely hits the comic bull's-eye.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 9, 2008 Full Review Trailer Park Boys: The Movie (2006) 57% EDIT “If your idea of humor is spending time with creepy-looking lowlifes who don't have a brain among them, by all means check out Trailer Park Boys. The rest of you can save your money for better, smarter movies.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 6, 2008 Full Review Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) 82% EDIT “For the first time, the great Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien (Three Times, Caf Lumiere) has made a movie set outside of Asia. The project, alas, is of little interest.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 24, 2008 Full Review The Duchess of Langeais (2007) 70% EDIT “Jacques Rivette, one of France's most original filmmakers, stumbles with his latest film from a novella by Honore de Balzac, a period drama set in mid-19th-century France and Italy that is stopped dead by the one-note performance of Guillaume Depardieu.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 4, 2008 Full Review Honeydripper (2007) 69% EDIT “This likable, laidback movie goes down well, a pleasant dash of Southern Comfort with some great tunes mixed into the batch.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 26, 2007 Full Review The Band's Visit (2007) 98% EDIT “Eran Kolirin's uncommonly assured directorial debut hinges on its characters, and in Ronit Elkabetz as Dina, and Sasson Gabai as Tewfiq, he strikes cinematic gold.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 19, 2007 Full Review 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) 96% EDIT “This Romanian drama suffers from a flaw common to many European films: too much intellect, not enough heart.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 19, 2007 Full Review The Walker (2007) 55% EDIT “Schrader's pallid thriller fails to entice.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Margot at the Wedding (2007) 51% EDIT “Lacerating and impeccably directed look at the fragile, complex relationship between two sisters.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 16, 2007 Full Review Bella (2006) 45% EDIT “Bella is as pedestrian as they come.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 25, 2007 Full Review Lars and the Real Girl (2007) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “A timely reminder that love stories don't have to be crass or contrived to succeed, even if one of the star-crossed lovers is entirely artificial.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 29, 2007 Full Review The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Much of the film, burdened by unnecessary, obvious narration, is an overly languid, dully paced prelude to the main event...” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 21, 2007 Full Review Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “Elizabeth: The Golden Age squanders its chance to paint history in the fascinating strokes of gray that make for the best cinematic epics.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 20, 2007 Full Review Silk (2007) 7% 2/5 EDIT “This thin silk doesn't hold together for long.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 14, 2007 Full Review In the Shadow of the Moon (2006) 95% 3/5 EDIT “That human touch is what distinguishes In the Shadow of the Moon from run-of-the-mill documentaries and is a timely reminder, in these dark days, that mankind is capable of much that is good.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Manufacturing Dissent (2007) 54% 3.5/5 EDIT “Though much of what's in the film isn't new information, seeing it all compiled in one place and building to its damning argument against Moore is effective and disturbing.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 30, 2007 Full Review The Willow Tree (2005) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Anchored by Parastui's luminous, heartfelt performance, [director] Majidi also revels in the joy of sight, especially as manifested in the beauty and lovely colors of nature. The Willow Tree is a powerful and ultimately optimistic movie.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Shot like a music video, the movie is quick-cutting, glossy and superficial, causing one to wonder about its serious intent.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Fido (2006) 71% 2/5 EDIT “The film retreats to political allegory -- evocations of the Bush administration's so-called fear-mongering on terrorism -- and obvious pot shots at family values. More than anything, Fido is a missed opportunity.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Fay Grim (2006) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Fay Grim is not exactly a sequel but the law of diminishing returns applies to it just the same.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 18, 2007 Full Review Triad Election (2006) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Guided by To's elegant camera moves, less visceral than most Hong Kong filmmakers, the Election movies put a fresh, intriguing spin on the usual cinematic gangster motifs.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 5, 2007 Full Review
