Film Reviews

It's awards season so there are a few deep, meaningful, highly crafted films kicking around the silver screens this week but the flick making the most noise right now is the new Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner The Last Stand .

No one has asked what I think of Les Miserables yet and that's good because, having given up on musicals not written and directed by the guys that made South Park and Team America , I wouldn't know what to say.

There's generally not much noteworthy opening at the theatres this week so let's keep living in the past and continue on with more of the Best Flicks of 2012.

Video killed the radio star and now it's coming after me. This column cannot summarize the films of 2012 like the Filmography 2012 video posted to YouTube by "genrocks.

Egg Nog is pretty foul stuff (and not just because its French name translates back to "Milk of Chicken") but otherwise Christmas is pretty fun. Trees, gifts and good movies in the theatre.

T he Hobbit is coming in hot this weekend, showing on half of the screens at the now-in-3D Village 8 Cinemas. Fifty per cent of the screens! That's more than enough to win an election... The geeks have taken over the earth.

High-fives to all the staff and volunteers of the 12th annual Whistler Film Festival for throwing down another fantastic fest.
