Definitely, Maybe

February 16th, 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- ...

The Spiderwick Chronicles

February 16th, 2008
The Spiderwick Chronicles stars Mary-Louise Parker as Helen Grace a mom who as her marriage is collapsing has to leave New York along with her 3 children and move into an inherited rural Victorian mansion. Swashbuckling Mallory (Sarah Bolger) is the oldest and the others, Jared and Simon are twins, both played by the amazing Freddie Highmore (just 15 on opening day) who is doubly impressive a ...

The Band's Visit

February 16th, 2008
The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) is an Israeli/ Egyptian co-production that has spent the past 6 months being lauded on the film festival circuit. About the only recognizable star of this low budget charmer is veteran Sasson Gabai who we know from action roles with Stallone and Van Damme. Here again he’s in a paramilitary role albeit much more light hearted  as Lieutenant-colonel Tawfiq Z ...

Step Up 2 The Streets

February 16th, 2008
Step Up 2 The Streets is a sequel of sorts to 2006’s Step Up but isn’t a step up at all. Meantime veiled in all the fancy footwork is the same race plagiarism that has stretched from Elvis to Eminem and includes the Stones and The Beatles. I’m talking about predominantly white people taking a predominantly black art form and without improving on it, have more success with it. Briana Evigan ...

Normal

February 12th, 2008
Normal was filmed on Southern Vancouver Island with Oak Bay standing in for any upscale seaside WASP ghetto that you might want to name. A cast of local a-list actors portray an ensemble of characters that seem to be unrelated but actually have a teen vehicular fatality in common. Oh yeah, and not one of them is anywhere near normal. Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss is an obsessive compulsive mom ...

Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show

February 12th, 2008
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is really Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show 30 Days and 30 Nights, Hollywood to the Hinterland. It was actually filmed in 2005 and maybe it took so long to get released because it takes a little over a year to say the full title. Actually it took that long to edit the movie out of 600 hours of footage but the title says it all as The Wedding Crasher sta ...

In Bruges

February 12th, 2008
In Bruges takes place in a Belgian town famous for medieval architecture. Two Irish hit men find themselves there on the lam having just capped a priest on a job that went terribly wrong for Harry, their London boss played by Ralph Fiennes. Colin Farrell is Ray the pugnacious gunman who will duke it out with absolutely anyone be it women, dwarfs or Canadians. Ken the other more refined trig ...

Fool's Gold

February 12th, 2008
Fool's Gold is a comedy adventure about treasure hunting. That explains the gold part but the fools part may refer to otherwise venerable actors who here mistakenly believe they’re pulling off convincing foreign accents. Donald Sutherland comes up short doing a haughty British lilt while Britain’s Ray Winstone who did sound American in last years Oscar winner The Departed can’t master a south ...
