Kráska v Nesnázích (Beauty in Trouble) (2006) |
This being a Czech film, drama, comedy, history, and social commentary are served up in equal proportion. - Boston Globe

Fearless (2006) |
While showing his 43 years, Li is still capable of ripping his way through an ornate restaurant or clearing out 15 challengers in as many seconds. - Boston Globe

Moog (2004) |
For every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences. - Boston Globe

The Inheritance (2003) |
While the entire movie is one massive flashback, the real reasons for all this Danish dysfunction go unexplored. - Boston Globe

Faster (2003) |
A kind of bone-crushing fun, but there's little drama and certainly no insight. - Boston Globe

THX-1138 (1971) |
Lucas described THX as 'an artifact from the future,' and we're supposed to struggle for understanding. That's part of its hypnotic undertow. - Boston Globe

SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) |
There's what one can only hope is the last-ever Matrix tribute/theft, plus a mostly unfunny stew of references to the Three Stooges, Popeye, Mary Poppins, and even Casablanca. The overall effect is ghoulish. - Boston Globe

Girls Can't Swim (2000) |
While not all transitions to adulthood are so fraught, there's much truth and no small amount of poetry in Girls Can't Swim. - Boston Globe

Windtalkers (2002) |
Woo wanted the film to be realistic, and it is. The violence is unrelenting, the uniforms are dirty and mismatched, the weapons are shiny from use, the soldiers are exhausted, sick, sad. - Boston Globe

Time Out (2001) |

Cool & Crazy (2001) |
Far from being a collection of stoic cliches, the singers are vibrantly individual, and their stories form the film's core. - Boston Globe
