Tabu (2012) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “If in the first half Gomes dares the audience to be bored, the second half is a cinephile's payoff.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 15, 2013 Full Review Gangster Squad (2013) 30% 3/4 EDIT “Gangster Squad is an enjoyable throwback, distinguishing itself from film noir with its deliriously colorful theme-park recreation of 1949 LA and Dion Beebe's burnished lighting, which makes Brolin and Penn look like they've been cast in bronze.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 10, 2013 Full Review Promised Land (2012) 53% 2/4 EDIT “Lacking confidence that these didactic speeches will drive its message home, the film throws in a paranoid plot twist from which it never recovers.” – Kansas City Star Jan 3, 2013 Full Review Anna Karenina (2012) 63% 2.5/4 EDIT “If it's only a play, why should we care?” – Kansas City Star Nov 29, 2012 Full Review Red Dawn (2012) 15% 0.5/4 EDIT “In trading Milius's jingoist conviction for brotherly friction the remake has little reason for being.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 22, 2012 Full Review Chasing Mavericks (2012) 32% 2/4 EDIT “For the real Mavericks, stick with Stacy Peralta's documentary Riding Giants.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 31, 2012 Full Review The Bay (2012) 76% 1.5/4 EDIT “At least Levinson hammers it home that his beloved Chesapeake - like this movie - is 40 percent dead.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 31, 2012 Full Review The Loneliest Planet (2011) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “Loktev and cinematographer Inti Briones have captured an otherworldly landscape with a paradoxical claustrophobia ...” – Boston Phoenix Oct 31, 2012 Full Review Beauty Is Embarrassing (2012) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's ... indulgent, not admitting that White's new gimmick wears out its welcome, and never making the case that White deserves his own documentary.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 18, 2012 Full Review Seven Psychopaths (2012) 82% 3/4 EDIT “The tug-of-war of a writer wrestling with his own worst instincts.” – Kansas City Star Oct 11, 2012 Full Review KumarĂ© (2011) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “Kumar might be a Sacha Baron Cohen stunt, but Gandhi drowns his padded documentary with a voiceover that is all Morgan Spurlock, deaf to its self-aggrandizement.” – Boston Phoenix Aug 29, 2012 Full Review The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012) 36% 2/4 EDIT “"The Odd Life" is not just odd, it's morbid and morose.” – Kansas City Star Aug 15, 2012 Full Review The Bourne Legacy (2012) 56% 2.5/4 EDIT “Renner projects too much complexity to be an action hero, and he and Weisz have no chemistry ...” – Boston Phoenix Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) 87% 4/4 EDIT “As neo-realism dissolves into magic, "Beasts" becomes a work very much of our time, a cry for the handmade in our chilly digital era.” – Kansas City Star Jul 19, 2012 Full Review To Rome With Love (2012) 47% 2/4 EDIT “Allen undermines these slight stories by cutting between them, even though the timelines don't match up. As Baldwin says: "With age comes exhaustion."” – Boston Phoenix Jul 5, 2012 Full Review Savages (2012) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Merely continues Stone's tepid streak.” – Kansas City Star Jul 5, 2012 Full Review Ted (2012) 68% EDIT “Ted, which was conceived as an animated series, suffers the flaws of Family Guy without sharing its strangeness.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 28, 2012 Full Review Your Sister's Sister (2011) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “The sisters are merely agents in Jack's maturation in what is ultimately a Judd Apatow film on a microbudget.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 22, 2012 Full Review Brave (2012) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “"Brave" is less a feminist parable than a child's wish-fulfillment: Why can't Mommy be more like me?” – Kansas City Star Jun 21, 2012 Full Review Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) 91% 3/4 EDIT “With its well-constructed screenplay, sharp dialogue and unapologetic sincerity, this first feature from former SNL interns Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly is its own act of nostalgia...” – Boston Phoenix Jun 14, 2012 Full Review Hysteria (2011) 59% 3/4 EDIT “Begins as a smug comedy about repressed Victorians but turns into something more provocative...” – Boston Phoenix Jun 7, 2012 Full Review Peace, Love & Misunderstanding (2011) 30% 3/4 EDIT “It's Fonda's show, riffing on her Hanoi Jane past and aided by first-time screenwriters Christina Mengert and Joseph Muszynski's ear for how both smart people and New-Agers talk.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 7, 2012 Full Review The Intouchables (2011) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “It manages to be feel-good (thanks to music from Earth, Wind and Fire) and clear-eyed.” – Boston Phoenix May 31, 2012 Full Review Men in Black 3 (2012) 67% 2/4 EDIT “It may sound good as a screenwriter's pitch, but it's not much fun to watch.” – Kansas City Star May 24, 2012 Full Review Battleship (2012) 34% 1.5/4 EDIT “You can't help but wonder what Hasbro will do with Candy Land.” – Boston Phoenix May 17, 2012 Full Review
