A 77% Samsara (2012) Boston Herald
Posted Jan 22, 2013
B+ 83% Your Sister's Sister (2012) " Your Sister's Sister gets it just right, aided by Vince Smith's string--accented musical score and Benjamin Kasulke's luscious cinematography." — Boston Herald
Posted Jun 22, 2012
B+ 29% Bel Ami (2012) " Elaborately costumed with Belgrade a posh substitute for Parisian grandeur, Bel Ami evokes a world rich in double--dealing, power plays and corrupt politics." — Boston Herald
Posted Jun 8, 2012
B 57% Safe (2012) " Jason Statham's fine ferocity, coupled with an old-fashioned if foul-mouthed gallantry and that pell-mell pace, makes Safe more than simply a safe bet." — Boston Herald
Posted Apr 27, 2012
C 54% Dr Seuss' The Lorax (2012) " A heavy-handed, one-sided 3-D animated feature that tells a tale of a world gone crazy in desperate need of clean air and real trees." — Boston Herald

Posted Jun 17, 2011

Posted Jun 2, 2011
C+ 38% Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family (2011) " As a drag role Madea (played by Perry) wears better than Martin Lawrence's Big Momma, but is just as cartoonish." — Boston Herald
Posted Apr 23, 2011
B- 83% Potiche (2011) " There is one reason to see Potiche, Francois Ozon's mild comedy about a housewife's feminist liberation in the 1970s, and that is Catherine Deneuve." — Boston Herald
Posted Apr 13, 2011

Posted Apr 2, 2010
B- 21% Leap Year (2010) " Due to the nearly irresistible charms of stars Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, a so-so script is overcome and sweet matchmaking sways the day." — Boston Herald
Posted Jan 8, 2010
B- 76% Captain Abu Raed (2007) " A rare Middle Eastern film that keeps its focus on its characters rather than larger concerns that mirror the region's continuing strife." — Boston Herald

B- 74% Cold Souls (2009) Boston Herald
Posted Aug 7, 2009
B+ 55% Orphan (2009) " That's quite a creepy premise for a horror story to live up to. That it does -- and more -- is a testament to the level of intensity in this tale of a troubled couple who adopt a 9-year-old Russian girl." — Boston Herald
