Until the Light Takes Us (2008) 46% 1.5/4 EDIT “Their dedication to giving the players their moment on the podium prevented Aites and Ewell from asking provocative questions, or, it would seem, any questions at all.” – Boston Globe Feb 11, 2010 Full Review Christmas on Mars (2008) 50% 1.5/4 EDIT “Warmth and humor, Flaming Lips calling cards, are nowhere to be found.” – Boston Globe Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Kurt Cobain About a Son (2006) 74% 3/4 EDIT “Kurt Cobain About a Son is a lovely piece of filmmaking, a gripping, minimalist marriage of sound and image.” – Boston Globe Nov 2, 2007 Full Review The Fearless Freaks (2005) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Cobbles together an appropriately whacked-out portrait of the band's surreal and haphazard career trajectory.” – Boston Globe Apr 29, 2005 Full Review MC5: A True Testimonial (2002) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “Thompson has lassoed the short, wild, luminous life of a rock band that crystallized a mirror-image cultural moment.” – Boston Globe Mar 12, 2004 Full Review Just an American Boy (2003) 54% 3/4 EDIT “Earle's song introductions, like those of his mentors Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, are as meaty, pointed, and touching as the tunes themselves, and his spoken words -- full of humor and humanity -- are the heart of the film.” – Boston Globe Nov 28, 2003 Full Review Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns (2002) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Generous helpings of performance footage and band interviews will gratify the group's die-hard cult of fans. But there's stuff of interest here for general audiences, too.” – Boston Globe Aug 2, 2002 Full Review How High (2001) 25% 1.5/4 EDIT “The biggest problem, ironically, is that even though the plot and the action center on smoking pot, it's not enough of a stoner flick.” – Boston Globe Dec 21, 2001 Full Review Glitter (2001) 6% EDIT “Fueled by formula, riddled with cliches, mindless from beginning to end.” – Boston Globe Sep 21, 2001 Full Review Happy Accidents (2000) 69% EDIT “A quirky little film that delves deeply into our preconceived notions of reality and closely held myths of love.” – Boston Globe Aug 24, 2001 Full Review The Princess Diaries (2001) 49% EDIT “The most surprising thing about this movie is just how little humor or heart it has.” – Boston Globe Aug 3, 2001 Full Review The Tigger Movie (2000) 64% 2/4 EDIT “The Tigger Movie falls short of recent children's animated features.” – Boston Globe Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) 23% EDIT “Just saying the name of this movie makes you feel stupid.” – Boston Globe Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
