1.5/4	40%	The Longshots (2008)	" The script may have taken an hour to write, and I hope they got a bulk rate on generic inspirational music, but Cube and his young co-star, Keke Palmer, are plenty charismatic, and Durst doesn't knock over the camera." — Boston Phoenix Posted Apr 23, 2009
	67%	Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004)	" Even if many of the film's individual characters aren't worth remembering an hour after you see the movie, Anchorman is almost always hilarious." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jul 10, 2004
	7%	Envy (2004)	" This quirky modern-day fable from Barry Levinson is the kind of movie you appreciate more than enjoy." — Boston Phoenix Posted May 8, 2004
	68%	Barbershop 2 - Back in Business (2004)	" What made the first film such a success -- the hilarious banter in the shop; the moving but never sappy personal dramas; a respect for history; the true affection for the city; and, of course, the brilliance of Cedric the Entertainer -- is still intact." — Boston Phoenix Posted Feb 7, 2004
	4%	My Baby's Daddy (2004)	" Okay, it's a light comedy, I'll go along with the premise. But what stretches all credibility is that Miramax didn't send this dirty diaper of a daddy movie straight to its room at Blockbuster." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 17, 2004
	9%	Darkness Falls (2003)	" A conventional, mildly frightening, low-grade horror flick with some humor (often unintentional) and as many gaps as a seven-year-old's mouth." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jul 2, 2003
	77%	Changing Lanes (2002)	" When Affleck starts talking in metaphors toward the end, you don't want to change lanes -- you want to change theaters." — Boston Phoenix Posted Apr 13, 2002
	10%	Slackers (2002)	" Everything about this movie is horrible." — Boston Phoenix Posted Mar 24, 2002
	85%	The Sixth Sense (1999)	" Watching a child prone to intense anxiety attacks and brutal peer teasing fall apart is not my idea of fun, but Shyamalan gets the job done." — Boston Phoenix Posted Mar 24, 2002
	9%	The Pest (1997)	" This movie defies review. To critique it would be like writing about a restaurant that only serves birdseed. Of course, humans don't like birdseed -- it's not meant for our species." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	4%	Mr. Magoo (1997)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
	13%	Vegas Vacation (1997)	" There should be a self-help group where insecure people make themselves feel better by constantly repeating: "He's Chevy Chase and I'm not."" — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
	56%	George of the Jungle (1997)	" All of what made the animated George such an irreverent joy is watered down by sappiness, forced acting, and, worst of all, the plot." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	12%	Firestorm (1997)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	87%	Hurricane Streets (1997)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
	69%	Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)	" Myers's charming goofiness lets him push even the most clich�'d jokes so far that they become funny." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	30%	Deep Rising (1998)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2000
