Nights in Rodanthe
A movie that looks and sounds a whole lot bigger than it actually is.
Meet the Robinsons
Despite its obvious shortcomings, Meet the Robinsons left me wanting a little more. It’s been a long, long time since a Disney film without a little lamp logo at the beginning has made me feel that way.
Let’s All Hate Toronto
A cheeky look at the disdain aimed at the Ontario capital from the rest of Canada.
A Mighty Heart
A Mighty Heart is a powerful film on all accounts, something that brings a human face to such a collective time of confusion.
Outsourced
Mixing astute cultural observation, character-driven comedy and a little romance, John Jeffcoat’s Outsourced is a delightful look at how easily jobs can be cut and sent elsewhere.
Kundun
There’s no denying the artistry of Kundun. Its heart also appears to be in the right place. But for those like me who don’t have a versed history in the modern history of Tibet or Buddhism, the scope is ultimately too big.

Each film is distinct from the other in its tone, which in some ways is good, but it also hinders any rhythm from emerging other than the fact that this club loves a certain city.
No Direction Home: Bob Dylan
Framed by tons of rare footage, No Direction Home penetrates the soul of one of modern music’s greatest icons – at least as much as Dylan will let us.
New York, New York
New York, New York never fully comes together as a cohesive picture. Rather, it’s a film with many parts that don’t gel, much like its fabricated lead characters.
