You're Next
(2013)

Jason Gorber

It kicks ass with the abandon of a place kicker. There's so much kickage that the filmmakers no doubt had to wear special shoes.

Deliver Us From Evil
(2009)

Jason Gorber
|
Certainly worth a view, but not the breakout Danish film that I've come to expect year after year.

THE RAID is, quite simply, an absolutely badass film, an instant classic.

Red
(2010)
|
Jason Gorber
|
If you don't smile at the image of a stunningly beautiful Dame Helen Mirren, resplendent in a gorgeous white gown, plowing down gunmen with her 50mm caliber tripod mounted gun, then you simply can't be helped.

Armadillo
(2010)
|
Jason Gorber
|
This is gritty, engaging, smart, gorgeously shot, an intimate epic. Armadillo is simply an extraordinary feat of filmmaking and another masterpiece from the film minds in Denmark.

Reel Injun
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
At its heart this is a well made, provocative made-for-television documentary, a mix of movie clips and talking head interviews.

Micmacs
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
Micmacs, if light and silly, is still a wonderful thing to behold, as clever and beautifully constructed as the wonderful automata that populate the tinker's workroom in the film.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
There's a dark, dark humour throughout that keeps the film from plunging into over-the-top farce. In the end, BLT is a rambunctious, ridiculous feat of cinematic excess.

Excited
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
Canadian crap, an absolute embarrassment to our country's cinema. Awful, terrible performances, sloppy direction, and yet another example of just how terrible a film of this ilk can be.

My Dog Tulip
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
This is at its heart a love story between a man and his dog, and the adventures that unfold are a mix of sweet, ridiculous and absurd. A charming little piece, a pleasurable distraction from more heady films.

The music's fun, the production design top notch, this unexpected little treasure was an absolute joy.

Mr. Nobody
(2009)

Jason Gorber

This is thought provoking without pretentiousness, full of ideas and passion that deserves a wide audience...Giving oneself over to the film is a pleasure that's not soon to be repeated.

A Town Called Panic
(2009)
|
Jason Gorber
|
This is just silly fun, a bunch of plastic people that seem at times, shockingly, to have quite a bit of character depth and nuance. Mostly, however, it's gag after gag, and does run out of steam towards the end.

Another dynastic Chinese historical epic gone awry - this one's even worse than you might expect.

Eastern Promises
(2007)
|
Jason Gorber
|
"It starts very well, and we're immediately drawn into this world of dead pregnant teens, the Russian mob, the hermeneutics of tattoos and the archetypal disappointment of a father with his son."

Up in the Air
(2009)

Jason Gorber
|
Reitman proves with Up in the Air that the sky's the limit for his career - he has proven with his three films to be one of the premiere directors of his generation.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed

A highly interesting film from writer/director Blakeson, a fine low- budget thriller with good performances, with a clever yet archetypal plot.

Keira Knightley gives one of her most nuanced performances, showing extraordinary range without ever coming across as showy... This is a well crafted, enjoyable ensemble piece with a captivating conclusion.

I'm Not There
(2007)
|
Jason Gorber
|
Sit back, and enjoy one of the finest biographical films ever made... This is a fiction about a lie more true than the truth, the story of the story, with metaphors writ large on the screen, metaphors about the smiling simile that is Bob Dylan.
