Kenny Chesney: Summer In 3d (2010) 57% 2/4 EDIT “The numbers -- 35 million records sold; 19 number-one hits; more than one million tickets sold in each of the last eight summers -- are as staggeringly impressive, as remarkable, as the man behind them is not.” – Boston Globe Apr 22, 2010 Full Review Sorority Row (2009) 24% 1/4 EDIT “The "scary'' moments are of the sneak-up-on-you-from-behind variety, but there's little suspense.” – Boston Globe Sep 14, 2009 Full Review Hatchet (2006) 56% 1/4 EDIT “It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny.” – Boston Globe Sep 15, 2007 Full Review Redline (2007) 0% 1/4 EDIT “Everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment.” – Boston Globe Apr 16, 2007 Full Review Ultraviolet (2006) 9% 1/4 EDIT “Wimmer ain't no Cassavetes.” – Boston Globe Mar 6, 2006 Full Review Dog Soldiers (2002) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Marshall puts a suspenseful spin on standard horror flick formula.” – Boston Globe Jan 31, 2003 Full Review Red Satin (2002) 83% 3/4 EDIT “As improbable as this premise may seem, Abbass's understated, shining performance offers us the sense that on some elemental level, Lilia deeply wants to break free of her old life.” – Boston Globe Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1973) 73% 3.5/4 EDIT “Pennebaker doesn't break any ground here, in what is essentially a linear concert film. But he doesn't need to. Bowie's brilliant -- and, by today's stadium-size standards, intimate -- performance does that for him.” – Boston Globe Aug 23, 2002 Full Review Cuba feliz (2000) 63% 2.5/4 EDIT “A grittily beautiful film that looks, sounds, and feels more like an extended, open-ended poem than a traditionally structured story.” – Boston Globe Aug 22, 2002 Full Review Ram Dass: Fierce Grace (2002) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Parts of the film feel a bit too much like an infomercial for Ram Dass's latest book aimed at the boomer demographic. But mostly it's a work that, with humor, warmth, and intelligence, captures a life interestingly lived.” – Boston Globe Jun 7, 2002 Full Review The Cherry Orchard (1999) 54% 2.5/4 EDIT “Cacoyannis is perhaps too effective in creating an atmosphere of dust-caked stagnation and labored gentility.” – Boston Globe May 31, 2002 Full Review Hell House (2001) 94% 3/4 EDIT “A candid and often fascinating documentary about a Pentecostal church in Dallas that assembles an elaborate haunted house each year to scare teenagers into attending services.” – Boston Globe May 24, 2002 Full Review The Mystic Masseur (2001) 51% 2/4 EDIT “It starts slowly, has few dramatic peaks and sketchy character development, and meanders without momentum.” – Boston Globe May 17, 2002 Full Review Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “Does a terrific job of evoking the electric magic of an extraordinary era.” – Boston Globe May 3, 2002 Full Review Deuces Wild (2002) 3% 1/4 EDIT “It's tough to tell which is in more abundant supply in this woefully hackneyed movie, directed by Scott Kalvert, about street gangs and turf wars in 1958 Brooklyn -- stale cliches, gratuitous violence, or empty machismo.” – Boston Globe May 3, 2002 Full Review Nine Queens (2001) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “A crackling, clever tour de force.” – Boston Globe Apr 26, 2002 Full Review The Son of the Bride (2001) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Jose Campanella delivers a loosely autobiographical story brushed with sentimentality but brimming with gentle humor, bittersweet pathos, and lyric moments that linger like snapshots of memory.” – Boston Globe Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Y tu mamá también (2001) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “[Y tu mamá también] explores the exciting, terrifying complications and limitations of sex, love, power, and loyalty.” – Boston Globe Apr 5, 2002 Full Review All About the Benjamins (2002) 31% 3/4 EDIT “An entertaining, if somewhat standardized, action movie.” – Boston Globe Mar 8, 2002 Full Review Metropolis (2001) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “A fast-moving and remarkable film that appears destined to become a landmark in Japanese animation.” – Boston Globe Feb 1, 2002 Full Review Slackers (2002) 11% 1/4 EDIT “There's scant character development, pedestrian dialogue, and an almost complete lack of humor.” – Boston Globe Feb 1, 2002 Full Review A Walk to Remember (2002) 30% 1.5/4 EDIT “In their zeal to create a character who embodies a wholesome, positive adolescent ideal, the filmmakers have invented an 18-year-old girl with no self-doubt, no emotional weakness, no character flaws, and a crystal-clear complexion.” – Boston Globe Jan 25, 2002 Full Review Not Another Teen Movie (2001) 32% 3.5/4 EDIT “A clever satire that's layered like a breakfast club sandwich with sly in-jokes, sight gags, gross-out scenes, and, of course, requisite bathroom humor.” – Boston Globe Dec 14, 2001 Full Review The Wash (2001) 8% 3/4 EDIT “Like gin and juice, [Dre and Snoop are] good together.” – Boston Globe Nov 16, 2001 Full Review Thirteen Ghosts (2001) 19% EDIT “Little did Elizabeth know that after starring in the spoof Scary Movie, she'd soon find herself in another parody of bad horror films -- one that doesn't know it is one.” – Boston Globe Oct 26, 2001 Full Review
