Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010) 70% 4/5 EDIT “Whether he's being charming or wretched, Serkis delivers a 100-watt performance that perfectly matches the cheery, jagged visuals.” – NOW Toronto Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Even by the standards of the Godzilla universe, this makes no sense at all. Untroubled by such questions, Godzilla, Rodan and Mechagodzilla work at levelling Osaka and each other. It's not the best action in the series, but far from the worst.” – NOW Toronto May 21, 2019 Full Review Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) 3% 1/5 EDIT “Not thrilling.” – NOW Toronto Apr 16, 2019 Full Review The Strangers (2008) 50% EDIT “The movie achieves an okay level of tension, especially in the first half, because first-time director Bryan Bertino has absorbed his Texas Chainsaw Massacre lessons well.” – NOW Toronto Mar 31, 2019 Full Review The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2014) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Much of the horror boils down to heavily underscored jump scares that are neither particularly frightening nor, like the movie as a whole, memorable.” – NOW Toronto Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) 47% 3/5 EDIT “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials delivers more and bigger sci-fi action-adventure thrills than the original Maze Runner.” – NOW Toronto Sep 22, 2015 Full Review The Perfect Guy (2015) 19% 1/5 EDIT “Halfway through, The Perfect Guy flips from bland romance to a weak woman-in-peril suspenser.” – NOW Toronto Sep 17, 2015 Full Review The Visit (2015) 68% 2/5 EDIT “M. Night Shyamalan's latest plays better as a comedy than a as horror movie.” – NOW Toronto Sep 11, 2015 Full Review Wolf Totem (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Among the outstanding set pieces, the most spectacular is a battle between the wolf pack and mounted herders trying to control a horse stampede in the middle of a blizzard.” – NOW Toronto Sep 10, 2015 Full Review The Transporter Refueled (2015) 16% 2/5 EDIT “This sequel is pumped with a lower-octane gas than the earlier films.” – NOW Toronto Sep 2, 2015 Full Review Dragon Blade (2015) 36% 3/5 EDIT “This handsomely mounted historical epic tells the story of Chinese Silk Road peacekeepers who clashed and cooperated with a fugitive Roman legion in 50 BCE.” – NOW Toronto Sep 2, 2015 Full Review No Escape (2015) 47% 3/5 EDIT “No Escape lives up to its title. The all-pervasive threat kicks in at 20 minutes, and the high tension never lets up till the end.” – NOW Toronto Aug 26, 2015 Full Review The Gallows (2015) 15% 1/5 EDIT “Don't expect many thrills from hanging around The Gallows. It's a horror movie whose climax brought derisive laughter from the preview audience.” – NOW Toronto Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Drag Me to Hell (2009) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Drag Me To Hell offers lots of screams, gross-outs and laughs, often at the same time and always without one response ruining the other. That's a Sam Raimi trademark, developed in the first two Evil Dead movies and still fresh two decades later.” – NOW Toronto Jun 30, 2015 Full Review Howl's Moving Castle (2004) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Howl's Moving Castle is a graceful fantasy that builds on the strengths Hayao Miyazaki displayed in Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.” – NOW Toronto Dec 8, 2014 Full Review
