THE GALLOWS ( 14A) ( Violence, Frightening Scenes)
Fri- Thurs 5: 00, 10: 05
AMY
Polo Park. 14A. 128 minutes.
Asif Kapadia ( Senna ) directed this doc about the tragically
troubled songstress Amy Winehouse, going beneath
the lurid paparazzi images and the tabloid headlines to
portray a creative dynamo whose road to self- destruction
was paved by the selfish, self- absorbed men in her life.
�s �s �s 1/ 2
ANT- MAN
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo
Park, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 115 minutes.
The latest hero of the Marvel Universe to hit the big screen,
Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd) is a con artist drafted by a genius
scientist ( Michael Douglas) to don an incredible shrinking
suit to prevent a megalomaniac ( Corey Stoll) from controlling
the teeny realm of inner space. The movie arrives with
a relatively obscure hero at a time when we're all suffering
a bit of comic- book movie fatigue. It might have helped if
director Peyton Reed demonstrated a little more directorial
zest, but this registers as merely a smooth- running cog
in the Marvel machine. �s �s �s
INSIDE OUT
Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. G. 95 minutes.
This Pixar animated feature creates anthropomorphized
emotions to show the psychological workings at play when
11- year- old Riley moves with her mom and dad to a new
home in San Francisco. Amy Poehler voices a joyous Joy
and Lewis Black is on the nose as Anger, but you have to
especially respect the portrayal of Sadness ( voiced with a
tender comedic touch by Phyllis Smith), not as a negative
or bad character but as a necessary member of the emotional
team. She's an effective repudiation of a dominant
feel- good culture that would love to see her medicated out
of existence. �s �s �s �s
JURASSIC WORLD
Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. PG.
125 minutes.
Set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park , the theme
park is now a 10- year- old success story until corporate
suits compel the park's operations manager ( Bryce Dallas
Howard) to create a genetic hybrid monster, to the consternation
of a raptor trainer ( Chris Pratt), obliged to save
the day. In its scale and visual effects, it feels like a proper
sequel to Jurassic Park , except the characters are thin and
the first film's critique of scientific hubris just gets lost in
the rote blockbuster action. �s �s �s
MAGIC MIKE XXL
Polo Park. 14A. 116 minutes.
Mike ( Channing Tatum) has retired from the malestripping
gig until a convention - and a reunion with his
old touring buddies - draws him back into the realm of
fleshy frolic. Unlike the film's male stars, the narrative is
shapeless, but it's still sneaky fun, especially given that, at
its heart, it's a contemporary iteration of a movie musical.
If Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly could see how the dance
movie has evolved in the 21st century, they'd be pirouetting
in their graves. �s �s �s

Towne. PG. 91 minutes.
This animated prequel to Despicable Me tells the backstory
of those yellow, capsular villain- enablers when they go to
work for fiendish super- villain Scarlet Overkill ( voiced by
Sandra Bullock), a chic gal intent on world domination.
The secret of this film's success is co- directors Kyle Balda
and Pierre Coffin have a superb sense of the sight gag, very
much beholden to the classic Warner Bros. ' toons of Bugs
Bunny and the Road Runner. Also distinguishing it from
the Disney/ Pixar fold, they also have a delightful sense of
naughtiness. �s �s �s
MR. HOLMES
Grant Park. PG. 105 minutes.
An aged Sherlock Holmes ( Ian McKellen) retires to a
country house where he battles a failing memory to recall
the haunting circumstances of his final case. Director Bill
Condon, who collaborated with McKellen on Gods and
Monsters , offers up a poignant closing chapter to the
Holmes canon, touching on themes of love and legacy.

PAPER TOWNS
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital,
Towne. PG. 109 minutes.
A shy high school student ( Nat Wolff) is enlisted for a night
of pranks by beautiful, popular girl Margo ( Cara Delevingne)
only to be baffled when she disappears the following day,
leaving cryptic clues as to her whereabouts. There's something
incredibly satisfying about a well- executed high school
film that hits all the right John Hughes- inspired sweet spots.
Concerned with the miracles, myths and mysteries that
come with the end of high school, the film self- consciously
engages with genre tropes, while also updating and evolving
the formula. �s �s �s 1/ 2 ( Reviewed by Katie Walsh )
PIXELS

Imax, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 105 minutes.
Adam Sandler stars as a former video- game champ
recruited with some other geeks ( including Peter Dinklage
and Josh Gad) to do battle when alien invaders attack
Earth in the guise of ' 80s arcade superstars including
Donkey Kong and Pac- Man. The core concept is clever,
but its execution in the hands of director- producer Chris
Columbus and star- producer Sandler is a mess. This
disappointing comedy falls apart before it begins. �s

SOUTHPAW
Grant Park, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park , St. Vital,
Towne . 14A. 124 minutes.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a light- heavyweight champion
boxer who loses it all after suffering a personal tragedy
and must fight his way back to the top with assistance
from a skeptical trainer ( Forest Whitaker). Director Antoine
Fuqua layers the movie with the foul- mouthed, corrupt,
violent grunge of the contemporary boxing world, but
squeegee away the scum and this is an old- fashioned
movie about a troubled man's fight for redemption and
love. �s �s �s
SPY
Grant Park. 14A. 120 minutes.
Melissa McCarthy is a CIA analyst who must go undercover
when her fellow agents are compromised on a mission to
stop a deadly arms dealer ( Rose Byrne). The spy spoof featuring
an unlikely secret agent is practically a genre unto
itself, but in that crowded field, writer- director Paul Feig
( Bridesmaids ) wisely deploys McCarthy as a real, original
and occasionally hilarious Bond wannabe. �s �s �s 1/ 2
SUNSHINE SUPERMAN
Bandwidth. PG. 100 minutes.
This documentary examines the large life of Carl Boenish,
the father of the BASE- jumping movement, a skydiver who
developed the phenomenon of " foot- launched human
flight." The footage is striking, the memories of the man
are vivid, and the finale - a tribute to the next phase of
BASE jumping with winged suits - is stunning. �s �s �s

TED 2
Polo Park. 14A. 116 minutes.
In this sequel to the rude 2012 comedy, John ( Mark
Wahlberg) and his titular toy bear/" thunder buddy" Ted
( voiced by director Seth MacFarlane) go to court to fight
the law when Ted is declared " property." It's good for some
frequent, guilt- inducing laughs even if the movie's satiric
message - slavery is bad - is a no- brainer. �s �s �s
TERMINATOR: GENISYS
Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. 14A. 126 minutes.
This fifth Terminator movie riffs on James Cameron's first
two films in the series, reimagining the 1984 meeting of
Sarah Connor ( Emilia Clarke), her would- be saviour from
the future Kyle Reese ( Jai Courtney) and, of course, the
metal man of the title ( Arnold Schwarzenegger). The film
pretends the last two Terminator movies never happened,
a good thing, and reconfigures timelines so elaborately,
it will have nerds scurrying for their blackboards to make
sense of it all. The result is a weirdly playful reboot that
makes good use of the aged Arnie but doesn't approach
the awesome invention of the movies to which it pays
homage. �s �s 1/ 2
THAT SUGAR FILM
Bandwidth. PG. 98 minutes.
This doc rips the lid off so- called healthy packaged foods
that are in fact laced with vast amounts of sugar, with
director Damon Gameau subsisting on these foods to
investigate their effect on his health. It owes its premise
- director as guinea pig - to Morgan Spurlock's Super
Size Me and unfortunately is afflicted with that film's
self- promotional ethos in the bargain, but this is still a
worthwhile reveal of sugar's detrimental effect on public
health. �s �s �s
TRAINWRECK

Amy Schumer wrote and stars in this comedy from Judd
Apatow playing a hard- partying, relationship- averse
magazine writer thrown for a loop when a nice sports
doctor ( Bill Hader) falls in love with her. The laughs may
come with an apology, but you believe the character's
transformation by romantic love, chiefly because Schumer
and Hader are wonderful together. �s �s �s �s ( Reviewed by
