- DirectorAnders Thomas JensenStarsUlrich ThomsenMads MikkelsenNicolas BroA neo-Nazi sentenced to community service at a church clashes with the blindly devoted minister.Characters that invoke the full spectrum of emotions....including the Cat!
- DirectorRoger LarryStarsSuveer BainsFabian BainsNatasha KongThis is a special for the CBC, a pop opera special called Knocking on Heaven's Door, which won him The Alliance for Children and Television's Award of Excellence, and two nominations for the Golden Sheaf Awards at the 1995 Yorkton Festival"The bucket list" meets "Thelma and Louis" - Some of the comedic impact is lost in translation, but it's hard not to sympathize with the lead characters.
- DirectorCarroll BallardStarsCharles Martin SmithBrian DennehyZachary IttimangnaqA government researcher, sent to research the "menace" of wolves in the north, learns about the true beneficial and positive nature of the species.Very difficult to understand the ending or was that the end?...The number of inconsistencies become distracting. The cinematography of the wildlife A+.
- DirectorAleksandr RogozhkinStarsAnni-Kristiina JuusoVille HaapasaloViktor BychkovIn World War II, a Finnish sniper is left chained to a rock by German soldiers, while a captain of the Red Army, en route to his court martial, is almost blown up by Russian planes. A Lapp woman gives shelter to both of them at her farm.A film based on human communication, the true values of life and the absurdity of war. A story of hope and the value of passing relationships.
- DirectorEmir KusturicaStarsJohnny DeppJerry LewisFaye DunawayA young New Yorker goes to Arizona where he finds freedom to both love and dream.A disconnected effort to portray characters who have little to say! This film seems to be an attempt to bring the complexities (and simplicity) of the human spirit to the uninspired North American audience. The use of abstract scenarios to communicate how the human mind can warp our perception when confronted with difficult emotions, fails to achieve this goal. Overall, this film gives the impression that a fascinating story fell into the commercialization machine of Hollywood.
- DirectorMikael HåfströmStarsColin O'DonoghueAnthony HopkinsCiarán HindsAmerican seminary student Michael Kovak travels to Italy to take an exorcism course.Hummm....Did Anthony Hopkins really need the $? A very poor attempt to use the subject of "demonic possession" to demonstrate how the "American Dream" conquers all! As a non "All American Boy",the core message of "faith conquers all", misses the mark on all points. An excellent performance by the Toad! This is a good example of how to take a true story and turn it into a film that will not distract from texting in the cinema.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherAmerican college students David Kessler and Jack Goodman on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists. Jack dies. David recovers in a hospital, where he has nightmares.
- DirectorPaul FierlingerSandra FierlingerStarsChristopher PlummerLynn RedgraveIsabella RosselliniThe story of a man who rescues a German shepherd and how the two become fast friends.A wonderful animation that provides insight into the relationship and bonding between a man and his (lover) dog. Humorous, with a unique approach, this film ranks among the top non-Hollywood animations. At times, one wonders if the story is from the mans perspective or that of the dog!
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsLubna AzabalMélissa Désormeaux-PoulinMaxim GaudetteTwins journey to the Middle East to discover their family history and fulfill their mother's last wishes.An excellent French Quebec film that takes us out of the normal expectations of a films story-line. The film provides an interesting look at the impacts of the multiculturism of Montreal. How people can judge a person without knowing their life experiences...a lesson that should be acknowledged by many.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppIsla FisherTimothy OlyphantRango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff.Not one of the best animation films, but very easy to watch. Interesting portrayal of how imagination can become reality.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsBenicio Del ToroAnthony HopkinsEmily BluntUpon his return to his ancestral homeland, an American man is bitten and subsequently cursed by a werewolf.Anthony oh Anthony....if Mr Hopkins was not a lead character, this film might of worked. Made in 2010 but has the feel that it was dated before release.
- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottAstronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.Very interesting concept of cloning. Easy to watch and engages the story that helps to overlook the fact of the missing non-gravity effects. Would have liked to know the story of "the one who got away!".
- DirectorJulio MedemStarsNajwa NimriFele MartínezNancho NovoIn Lapland's cold Arctic Circle, under the eternal midnight sun, unfavourable circumstances reunite two kindred spirits. And governed by circular motifs woven by faith and love, they must answer a pivotal question. Can they deny destiny?Nicely reflects the fact life is but a string of coincidences...and that the inevitable is not always obvious. Completely human, reflecting the scope of emotions and perceptions that two people can experience when in love.
- DirectorSven TaddickenStarsJördis TriebelJürgen VogelMaik SolbachMax is very ill. He decides to steal in his own company. But when he tries to run away with the money, he has a car accident that takes him to Emma's pigs farm.
- DirectorNiki CaroStarsKeisha Castle-HughesRawiri ParateneVicky HaughtonA contemporary story of love, rejection and triumph as a young Maori girl fights to fulfill a destiny her grandfather refuses to recognize.Very beautiful...cinematography 10, insight into the Maori culture 9.
- DirectorTroy NixeyStarsKatie HolmesGuy PearceBailee MadisonA young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend believes that she has released creatures from a sealed ash pit in the basement of her new home.ITS VERY VERY BAD...but we should mention the fact that the handyman had an accident of small furry demons attacking him! and his wife disappears down a hole in the cellar AND nobody takes the time to look for her! - only credit goes to the fish in the fountain.
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsJavier BardemMaricel ÁlvarezHanaa BouchaibA man dying of cancer tries his best to leave the world on his own terms.
