The Cake Eaters (2007) 64% 2/4 EDIT “There are only so many story threads an ensemble cast can hold.” – Boston Globe Mar 27, 2009 Full Review Bella (2006) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “It wants to answer the questions it's clearly too timid to ask, but the questions are always so much more interesting.” – Boston Globe Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Sea Monsters will undoubtedly bring open-mouthed awe and joy to brainy kids from ages 8 to 108.” – Boston Globe Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's all so much more fun when you're the one with the controller, telling the heroes what to do: Watching this stuff unfold onscreen is like sitting by while someone plays your video games without you.” – Boston Globe Sep 24, 2007 Full Review 28 Weeks Later (2007) 73% 3.5/4 EDIT “Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo re-creates the gritty and spastic look of Days while brilliantly utilizing dark space and shadow to enhance the terror.” – Boston Globe May 11, 2007 Full Review The Abandoned (2006) 34% 1.5/4 EDIT “Perhaps the worst offense of The Abandoned, however, is that so little effort is made by the screenwriters to make any 'sense' of it all.” – Boston Globe Feb 26, 2007 Full Review Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “The metal scene emerges throughout the documentary as the recruitment center of an army of misfits, where the outcasts of the world can seek each other out based on their love of the angsty, eardrum-destroying tunes their parents warned them about.” – Boston Globe May 12, 2006 Full Review Sisters in Law (2005) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “Despite the lack of an especially defined narrative arc, the people are what make the movie -- as they should in a tale like this.” – Boston Globe May 5, 2006 Full Review Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004) 53% 2.5/4 EDIT “... succeeds as a modest tribute to the kind of aging boys club that idles for hours in somebody's parents' rumpus room, its members tossing around big-man talk but trapped in emotional adolescence.” – Boston Globe Apr 28, 2006 Full Review Trudell (2005) 31% 3/4 EDIT “Despite the rambling finish, however, overall the film is a thought-provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior whose frankness is his greatest weapon.” – Boston Globe Mar 10, 2006 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes (2006) 51% 3/4 EDIT “From complete dismemberment to extreme shotgun violence, Aja & Co. not only pull out the stops on this one, they decimate them.” – Boston Globe Mar 10, 2006 Full Review Don't Ask Don't Tell (2002) 36% 3/4 EDIT “A surprisingly thoughtful social film.” – Boston Globe Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Ciao America (2002) 2.5/4 EDIT “Lighthearted and often funny.” – Boston Globe Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Amy's Orgasm (2001) 26% 1/4 EDIT “The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years.” – Boston Globe Oct 4, 2002 Full Review The Sleepy Time Gal (2001) 83% 3/4 EDIT “A thoughtful, moving piece that faces difficult issues with honesty and beauty.” – Boston Globe Sep 27, 2002 Full Review Group (2002) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “The nine women are a touching reminder that we all have our own, very different problems, but by relating to each other, we can come to terms with just about anything.” – Boston Globe Jul 26, 2002 Full Review The Independent (2000) 60% 3/4 EDIT “A charming and funny look at the independent filmmaking business and the thin line between a masterpiece and a $9 nap.” – Boston Globe Jun 28, 2002 Full Review Sordid Lives (2001) 37% 2/4 EDIT “While the film at times feels like a clumsily acted play, a surprising turn by Delta Burke carries the cast out of the doldrums of an often-strained plot line.” – Boston Globe Jun 28, 2002 Full Review Chelsea Walls (2001) 26% 1/4 EDIT “Were Dylan Thomas alive to witness first-time director Ethan Hawke's strained Chelsea Walls, he might have been tempted to change his landmark poem to, 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Theatre.'” – Boston Globe May 24, 2002 Full Review
