2.5/4
 
"A movie begging this hard to be loved is unattractive." -- Boston Globe
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
The Grocer's Son (2008)80%
/
3/4
 
"Chabrol has always been more interested in sensibility than sense, in discourse on fashion and form than in the narrative possibilities of function, and on the rich hypocrisies of the wealthy." -- Boston Globe
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
A Girl Cut in Two (2008)79%
/
3/4
 
"The movie looks and feels exactly how it probably was to make: like a walk in the park." -- Boston Globe
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Romance of Astree and Celadon (2008)78%
/
.5/5
 
"Things never get better than the movie's poster, which features a kid with his head in a toilet. Incidentally, that image doubles, concisely, as apt film criticism." -- Boston Globe
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
College (2008)8%
/
2/4
 
"It helps for a documentary about America's broken voting system to be flush with facts and outrage. But a little filmmaking wouldn't hurt, either." -- Boston Globe

Stealing America: Vote By Vote (2008)50%
/
3/4
 
"This sounds like a fairly standard debut. But Wong smothers the story with tremendous style." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
As Tears Go By (1988)75%
/
2.5/4
 
"It doesn't turn any corners, it's lazy, and it's content to keep playing dumb long after it's really funny." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
The House Bunny (2008)39%
/
2.5/4
 
"A grubby little redemption comedy that in every way feels like a consignment-shop Jack Black vehicle." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 20, 2008
 
The Rocker (2008)35%
/
3/4
 
"The movie feels like a consciously happy accident whose offenses are roughly balanced by actors gouging out their own narcissism." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 13, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)84%
/
3/4
 
"This is the rare movie about the start of something interesting that happens to look a lot like the end of the world." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)86%
/
2.5/4
 
"We're introduced to more string-pulling symbolism than a movie this inherently sad ever needs. It's too much." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Boy A (2008)89%
/
2/4
 
"The whole thing feels like the sort of picture Tarantino would make if he weren't such an ingenious B-movie artist: a genre exercise that's more studious than entertaining." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Hell Ride (2008)11%
/
2.5/4
 
"Aren't these ladies too old for this?" -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)63%
/
2.5/4
 
"These classy people are put to the trashiest ends, and, for the most part, it's a pleasure to see them rooting around in the garbage." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Tell No One (2008)92%
/
1.5/4
 
"It's 2008. Why are we still microwaving Frank Capra's old casseroles? The movie turns racism, class woes, and social issues into jokes instead of engaging them with intelligence, wit, or a whiff of drama." -- Boston Globe
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Swing Vote (2008)39%
/
1.5/4
 
"The truth is, indeed, still out there. And when Carter finds it, may he heed its wisdom: Let go." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)33%

"This Japanese horror movie is weirder than anything life could offer." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Hair Extensions (2008)n/a

"As my dignity tried to flee the premises, my heart wouldn't let me go." -- Boston Globe

Mamma Mia! (2008)54%

"Murphy appears to be on the verge of cracking himself up. This is good news. At least someone found him funny." -- Boston Globe

Meet Dave (2008)20%
/
2.5/4
 
"The documentary doubles as a jukebox of banality." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jul 3, 2008
 
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)89%
/
 
"What does one say about a movie that wants laughs from a shot of one inmate's head up the derriere of another?" -- Boston Globe
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
4/4
 
"In a single two-hour film, Akin strikes the notes of emotional distress, geographical dissonance, generational discord, and nearly divine convergence that Kieslowski orchestrated over nearly six hours." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
3/4
 
"Bodrov and Arif Aliyev wrote the film, which was one of this year's foreign-language Oscar nominees, and their account is framed as a drama of inflamed loins and intense loyalty." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Mongol (2008)88%

3.5/4
 
"Alexandra is a pleasure to watch, but it's also one of those lovely, unclassifiable movies that flourishes better with repeated or prolonged exposures." -- Boston Globe

Alexandra (2008)94%

"Things are so bad here that the few good ideas seem brilliant." -- Boston Globe

The Love Guru (2008)14%

2.5/4
 
"In their determination to make a reliable action movie, they forgot to make an interesting one." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Incredible Hulk (2008)67%
/
3/4
 
"Sputnik Mania plays, discreetly, like a negative love story between superpowers. Sure they moved on to other enemies, but they still haven't gotten over each other." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Sputnik Mania (2008)90%
/
3/4
 
"Mother of Tears transcends camp without forsaking it. Argento pitches the proceedings toward the ridiculous (his pacing is as perfect as some of the witches' breasts are fake) but only in the name of reaching a new cheesy sublime." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)49%
/
3/4
 
"If You Don't Mess With the Zohan isn't the bravest movie ever made about current Arab-Israeli relations, it's at least the bravest movie ever made about current Arab-Israeli relations featuring a former Mossad agent who shags Lainie Kazan." -- Boston Globe
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)34%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's exciting watching Bahrani explore the possibilities of neo-realism to dramatize penury and disenfranchisement among the service-class in this country." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 30, 2008
 
Chop Shop (2007)95%
/
.5/4
 
"[Director] Bertino has the pretensions of an artist and the indelicacy of a hack. He tries to get under our skin with a pile driver." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 30, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)43%
/
2.5/4
 
"The movie is just like a half-season of the series -- a funny, sappy, clumsy, crude, rambunctious, argumentative, gleefully vulgar attempt to balance the fantasy of romance with the reality that the fantasy is impossible." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 29, 2008
 
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)51%
/
3/4
 
"The movie feels exhaustive in its loaded 90-something minutes, showing and telling us much while leaving the meaning of the tangles and twists in this family open to interpretation. For once, the tip of the iceberg is enough." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Surfwise (2008)100%
/
2/4
 
"It's like a Lana Turner vehicle that's too meek to be Last Tango in Chinatown." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Never Forever (2008)78%
/
2.5/4
 
"What ensues between them, both psychologically and sexually, is one of the strangest, most fascinating dysfunctional relationships I've seen in a movie. The acting is outstanding." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 22, 2008
 
XXY (2008)74%

3/4
 
"You'll laugh. You'll swoon." -- Boston Globe

Love Songs (2008)67%
/
2.5/4
 
"Directed and co-written by Michel Hazanavicius and starring the French comedian Jean Dujardin as OSS 117, the movie is a sketch stretched to tedious feature length." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 16, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)76%

2.5/4
 
"Pinon and Dana are so striking together." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 16, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)88%
/
3/4
 
"In its slightly comical, somewhat mordant, and completely ambient way, Mister Lonely wonders about the perils of idol worship, the way people can hand their entire selves over to a religion, be it Catholicism or celebrity." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Mister Lonely (2008)44%
/
2.5/4
 
"Feels less like a redemptive survivor's story and more like a commercial for some terrific Mediterranean resort." -- Boston Globe

Fugitive Pieces (2008)68%

1/4
 
"When it was over I felt vaguely embarrassed. I wasn't just leaving a movie theater. I was taking a walk of shame." -- Boston Globe

What Happens in Vegas (2008)27%
/
2.5/4
 
"What ought to be a bittersweet movie about a woman's momentary unraveling feels like a workout class: Cardio melodrama." -- Boston Globe

Then She Found Me (2008)55%

2.5/4
 
"Downey could have taken a tragic tack. But he has fun just figuring out how to make the armor suit work. His sarcasm and almost drunken Tony Curtis body language transform the scenes of Iron Man." -- Boston Globe
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
3/4
 
"In a sense, the movie is about Accio's appreciation of the practical limits of ideology and the practical uses of rebellion, and it's a poignant realization." -- Boston Globe

My Brother Is An Only Child (2006)86%

"Deal could use a touch of the slickness that's making the blackjack drama 21 such a greasy hit." -- Boston Globe

"Calling your terrible crime thriller Deception is like naming your bad cooking movie Food -- an advertisement for laziness." -- Boston Globe

Deception (2008)11%
/
3/4
 
"The movie was written and directed by a man, Michael McCullers. But it cuts out the obligatory middleman and lets two women make us laugh, often very hard." -- Boston Globe
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)62%
/
3.5/4
 
"This is a film of our times -- paranoid, heartbroken, disillusioned -- and the rare recent American movie whose characters react the way actual people might." -- Boston Globe

The Visitor (2008)92%

"It barely matters that Zombie Strippers is a tediously overextended satire. It's called Zombie Strippers." -- Boston Globe

"Spurlock and his team of collaborators never find the movie amid all their material. If he's a questionable journalist and a poor detective, he's an even more woeful filmmaker." -- Boston Globe
