We’ve been enjoying these Liam Neeson, by-the-formula actioners since 2008, and I’ll just come out and say it – The Oscar-nominated, 69-year-old actor needs to move on. He’s no longer swift, agile or believable as an action hero, and it’s starting to show. Suspension of disbelief just isn’t there anymore. This oft-delayed thriller has finally…

This hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy takes young feminist Danielle, and drops her into the Shiva for a family friend she doesn’t even really know. Danielle has just come from a meeting with her sugar daddy, a man helping her pay her bills for sexual favours. But when she looks up from a conversation and sees that…

Have you ever been to an improv comedy show? The ones that always seem to work the best are when the comedians don’t even question the material their partners give them. In that spirit, I’ve always seen the whacky, off-kilter sensibilities and storylines of Wes Anderson’s movies to be so thoroughly enjoyable because none of…

If you’re looking for a heavyweight monster movie battle royale, you’ve certainly found your movie. Godzilla Vs. Kong is a no-holds-barred, land & sea slugfest between the two movie titans. It’s also, however, devoid of any human connection, great performances or other intrigue. That could be a knock, or it could be exactly what you’re…

When a film that should have a certain pedigree falls absolutely flat, it’s disheartening to see some of your favourites involved in such a mess. I’ll never count Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rutger Hauer, or the underrated Jason Flemyng among my favourites, but they didn’t deserve this. Iron Mask is a co-production with makeup, styling,…

There are few more utterly heartbreaking portrait pieces this year than director Florian Zeller’s The Father. It explores in excruciating detail the pain that comes to an ailing father with Alzheimer’s and the daughter fighting to keep him safe and comfortable. The two clash endlessly, as what’s best for him and what he wants can…

When I look back at Crisis years from now, the most standout thing about it will be the perplexity I felt at how it gathered such an acting pedigree for such a mundane effort. How a film about the very real opioid epidemic in our country could become a paint-by-numbers retread of 2000’s Traffic is…

This review is being republished to advertise the home video release of Promising Young Woman, available March 16, 2021. The pit of my stomach gurgled and twisted within the opening 15 minutes of Promising Young Woman, and yet, I wouldn’t dare look away. This intense, disturbing meditation on rape culture and the art of preying…

When you put two expert actors in a crime film based on a larger-than-life true story, you’d think it would equate to one pot-boiler of a thriller. And yet, Game Of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke and Jack Huston just can’t seem to save themselves from the incessant sludge produced from Above Suspicion, a schlocky feature…

After years as a reviewer, I thought I’d seen it all. Then Jump, Darling came along and made me a blubbering, blustering mess. This is a movie that packs a glittery, dazzling punch, and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen in recent memory. It will forever be marked as the venerable Cloris Leachman’s last film before…
