I’ve been waiting for this moment for eight years. Honestly. Ever since that birthday party in grade six where we managed to get the unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell from a video store that doesn’t care what movies twelve-year-olds watch, I’ve been anticipating this film. You see, at the end of that movie,… Continue reading Can’t we all just get along?

Mercury is a liquid metal that can be found in many common instruments, including barometers and thermometers–it is also utilized in the mining industry to extract gold and other minerals. The recommended procedure for dealing with mercury spills involves great care. For instance, Environment Canada advises spills “should be considered hazardous and should be cleaned… Continue reading Choropampa: The Price of Gold

Watching American Wedding is akin to watching someone get hit in the groin. It’s a peculiar mixture of guilt and laughter that bubbles up while watching a person writhe on the ground in excruciating pain.

The Spy Kids franchise is easily made tolerable by the imagination and… Continue reading Spy Kids use all three dimensions

It’s possible there is some level to this joke I’m not getting, however, I don’t think this movie is worth watching. The… Continue reading Shaolin Soccer a kick in the teeth

As someone who believes that Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman are among the best movies of all time, I’ll admit that I was looking forward to watching Legally Blonde 2. A night out with one of the girls for a few laughs and popcorn sounded pretty good and it was obvious from the start that… Continue reading Legally Blonde 2

Movies That Matter seems to have become quite successful judging by last Wednesday’s turn-out for the double feature of Human Weapon and My Terrorist. The reason for such a level of participation may well be that terrorism is a current issue, but perhaps there is more. Perhaps people are beginning to appreciate non-fiction films because… Continue reading Read me

The Ang Lee touch was what made The Hulk–and almost unmade it. His presence is everywhere, but comes through too strongly in elements like pacing, which was so languid it felt more like The Wedding Banquet than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It may fit with theme and character development, but North American audiences generally don’t… Continue reading “You’re making me angry…”
