Film Reviews
Feast of Love
Robert Benton directs this Oregon-set meditation on the permutations of love among a constellation of characters.
The Heartbreak Kid
Ben Stiller stars in this smart and winning remake of a 1972 Neil Simon-penned comedy about a man who falls in love with another woman on his honeymoon.
The Jane Austen Book Club
Though it’s as estrogenic as dong quai, this amiable film about six friends and their book club is thoughtfully rendered with a certain universality of spirit.
The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising
This fantasy film, adapted from Susan Cooper's series of novels, is utterly devoid of anything but bombastically simplistic notions.
Weirdsville
Weirdsville accomplishes something that is rare for Canadian-made comedies: It's actually funny.
