The Classic Corner: Pink Flamingos (1972)
I know I’m back in Toronto, but I saw Pink Flamingos at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco as part of their John Waters birthday weekend celebration, coinciding with Good Friday of all days. It deserves its place in one of the weirdest movies of all time, which is about a lesser evil trying to vanquish pure evil, or two opposing camps with their secret lairs trying to humiliate each other.
DVD Review: The Green Hornet (2011)
Featuring plenty of action, good-looking visual effects and entertaining action sequences, The Green Hornet distances itself from the pack of superhero movies with its lighter mood.

Trite, Tired Gags Drag Down “Hall Pass”
It’s fast becoming an annual tradition to dump a plethora of man-child buddy comedies on audiences, particularly in the first six months of the release year. Unless you can rekindle the magic formula that made 2007 such a successful year for Judd Apatow, you’re likely to come up empty-handed in the substance department. Such is the case with the Farrelly Brothers’ latest slapstick outing, Hall Pass.
“Arthur” is a Silly, Pointless Remake
Starring Russell Brand as a drunken playboy who stands to lose his wealthy inheritance when he falls for a woman his family doesn’t like, Arthur is the latest comedy to hit theaters. But is it any good?
“Your Highness” is Lowly, Juvenile and Senseless
Films like Your Highness need a lesson in comedy. Swearing profusely to produce laughs doesn’t work. No one enjoys watching spontaneous, empty cursing that has no real content. Read Sam’s review of this strangely unfunny comedy.
