1. 11/04/11 Good (Not Great) "The laughs may not be as strong as they were the first time... but that's life as a stoner comedy."
2.

Another Earth

Toronto Globe & Mail
07/29/11 Very Good "...the metaphysics function as a metaphor in what's an affecting - if slow-moving - drama about having to live with the choices we make and our need to find redemption."
3. 04/27/12 Very Good "Fans of skateboarding will revel in this look at the personalities that revolutionized the sport.... packed with archival footage and intimate interviews..."
4.

Catfish

Toronto Globe & Mail
09/24/10 Very Good "The film is so filled with unexpected twists and wild revelations that to provide more details would only spoil the many shocks it offers."
5.

Kevin Hart: Laugh At My Pain

Toronto Globe & Mail
11/18/11 Moderate "...divided in to three sections, one that is passable, one that is hilarious and one that bombs.... Hart is a gifted comedian, and he's smart enough to know you should always end with your best material. He doesn't do that here."
6.

Machine Gun Preacher

Toronto Globe & Mail
09/07/11 Good (Not Great) "Marc Forster, who previously directed 'Quantum of Solace,' is constrained by reality, and so is left with a story that lacks much of a satisfying climax..."
7.

New Year's Eve (2011)

Toronto Globe & Mail
12/09/11 Poor "...a terrible movie.... leaves you feeling like you've got no one to kiss at midnight."
8.

Paris Manhattan

Toronto Globe & Mail
04/12/13 Good (Not Great) "Even at its worst, this movie can be charming.... But from its title sequence to the final credits, it's begging to be compared to Woody Allen's movies."
9.

Peeples

Toronto Globe & Mail
05/10/13 Moderate "It's a shame that two gifted comedians weren't given better material to work with.... It's a long story - and that's never a good thing for a comedy that's only 95 minutes long."
10.

Starbuck (2012)

Toronto Globe & Mail
09/09/11 Very Good "...charming... Scott deftly balances David's ridiculous mission with moments of real tenderness, making for several heartfelt moments..."
11.

Wreck-it Ralph

Toronto Globe & Mail
11/02/12 Very Good "...so well constructed in its plot and imagery that it moves brilliantly along, leaping from one perfectly rendered world to the next..."
