Priceless

July 4th, 2008
Priceless is a romantic comedy juxtaposed against one of the worlds most romantic backdrops, the south of France. In a luxury hotel a bartender named Jean (Gad Elmaleh) is mistaken in his tuxedo for a man of means by Irene (Audrey Tautou who has definitely shaken off any De Vinci Code Dowdiness). After a passionate interlude she quickly dumps him when she literally wakes up to realize his station in life and kicks herself for dumping a real sugar daddy for Jean. However Jean is not so ready to say goodbye since the next hottest thing to Irene that he’d experienced was vichysoise. Having abandoned his job he takes a lesson from Irene by supporting himself

Wanted

June 27th, 2008
Wanted brings us up to speed (and the speed is furious!) with a millennium old group of assassins called “The Fraternity” whose members do their jobs without question and whose roots are literally a fabrication as the originators were fabric weavers. Initially we’re introduced to the unsuspecting next generation of these kinsmen who doesn’t seem all that dangerous as he has trouble killing an hour much less a human target. James McAvoy is Wesley Gibson, an anxious office cubicle drone whose girlfriend is hooking up with his best friend while he’s at work enduring humiliation from his obese and sadistic boss. This changes when Fox

Definitely, Maybe

February 15th, 2008
Definitely, Maybe definitely may be the most successful acting stretch for Kitsilano Secondary grad Ryan Reynolds. As New Yorker Will Hayes the trade mark spot on delivery of witty one liners is still there but rolled way back. On top of that he does a very passable job as a romantic lead, laudably without even a flash of his buffed torso. Little Miss Sunshine Abigail Breslin is Maya his pre-pubescent daughter who after the first day of sex education is relentless in her inquisition about the days lesson as it pertains to her separated parents. To placate her curiosity he gives an outline of the three loves of his life, one of whom is her mom but all three broke

Love and Other Dilemmas

February 1st, 2008
Love and Other Dilemmas apparently had its biggest dilemma regarding the decision on when to release this goofball comedy since it’s a 2006 movie. You’ll recognize locations in East Vancouver and most of the cast from Corner Gas in this story of Ginger Shapiro (played with some intensely comic moments by Gabrielle Miller) who tries to lift the curse of the last three generations of her family which has seen pregnant brides witness the wedding day deaths of their fiancées and subsequent abandonment by their resurrected souls. In order to break this hex no setbacks - not burglary, not kidnapping, not water breaking, not even the apparent dreaded

They Wait

February 1st, 2008
They Wait is a supernatural suspense thriller based on Chinese superstition. With Feng Shui and other oriental beliefs having a moderating influence in Vancouver life it’s a natural that the story is obviously set in our city although it’s never acknowledged as anything other than The Pacific Northwest. Jaime King (Goldie in Sin City) plays Sarah who is married to Jason (Edmonton’s Terry Chen) a North American born entrepreneur. They’re living in Shanghai taking care of business and Sammy their ghost preoccupied son when they’re called home due to an untimely death during Hungry Ghost Month – or is it untimely?  While
