1. 01/15/09 Good (Not Great) "...at 154 minutes, too much is just too much unless you're a big fan of Bollywood spectacles."
2. 07/17/08 Poor "...a case of the filmmaker, Eileen Yaghoobian, falling in love with her subjects - the subculture of dork artists who make concert posters.... it's a poetic title and little else."
3. 01/15/09 Poor "...takes a potentially funny premise and sticks it in the Ronco food dehydrator of comedy, removing anything resembling humour."

Taken

Toronto Now
01/29/09 Excellent "Imagine 80s action classic 'Commando' field-stripped of its cartoonish violence in favour of a more Bourne-like identity.... a taut, tense pistol-whip of a thriller."
5. 02/12/09 Weak "The story is smart, but it's also patience-testing at every turn, a bad sign for a thriller.... There's also a surprising lack of action - not a single car chase."
6.

The Uninvited

Toronto Now
01/29/09 Good (Not Great) "The original was spookier and just plain weirder, playing more deeply on the themes of alienation and repression... does offer a few genuine chills and surprising scares..."
