Film Reviews
I worked at 7-24 Videos & More, in Parkdale. I loved recommending, discussing, and debating films with customers. Then I discovered the amazing DVD collection at the Toronto Public Library.
In addition to DVDs, you can also stream films using Kanopy and Hoopla. Remember when you’d hold up a DVD case and ask, “How’s this?” In the spirit of an opinionated video store clerk, here are our answers.

Film Reviews: July 1st, 2025
HAPPINESS
Controversial and unsettling in 1998. Controversial and unsettling in 2025. Now that’s a great film.
THE END OF OBESITY: SOUTH PARK
Ozempic meets satire in this savage takedown. At an hour, it skewers concisely.

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE
We loved the first Quiet Place. We didn’t deserve the sequel. Origin stories can be clever. This one isn’t. We made noises hoping monsters would get them. Even that cat.
NO HARD FEELINGS
Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance? She should have to return one of her Oscars. Cringeworthy.
ONE OF THEM DAYS
What self-respecting gay man doesn’t love a female buddy pic? They have eight hours to get rent money? Sounds fun. It wasn’t. Zero fun. Just sadness for the talented cast.
