Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) 33% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Forces of Nature (1999) 45% 3/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Absolute Wilson (2006) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Absolute Wilson may not be original, but Wilson absolutely is.” – Boston Globe Dec 1, 2006 Full Review Water (2005) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Succeeds in its central goal: to turn a forgotten class of women into real, memorable human beings who deserve a different life.” – Boston Globe May 5, 2006 Full Review The Shaggy Dog (2006) 25% 3/4 EDIT “It's a pleasant surprise to find a movie that genuinely pitches itself at a child's level while also giving parents some real laughs.” – Boston Globe Mar 10, 2006 Full Review Cafe Transit (2005) 3/4 EDIT “If an unfortunate tendency toward melodrama gradually creeps in, the film nevertheless creates a memorable portrait of one woman in Iran -- and, by extension, of the bleak sorrows of millions of women's lives.” – Boston Globe Mar 3, 2006 Full Review Doogal (2006) 9% 1/4 EDIT “If we keep saying, 'Yeah, it's lousy, but there's so much worse stuff out there,' and we keep sighing, rolling our eyes, and going anyway, we'll keep getting slapdash, manipulative product like this. Kids deserve better. So do dogs.” – Boston Globe Feb 27, 2006 Full Review Sharks (2004) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “Swim in the images, soak up the facts, and if questions about storytelling, consistency, or tone keep nagging, just tell them to float away.” – Boston Globe May 27, 2005 Full Review Mystery of the Nile (2005) 67% 1/4 EDIT “By patching together snippets from all these stories, then stitching them together with a cliched, lazily rendered script, this film does nothing but make us wonder what we've missed.” – Boston Globe Feb 25, 2005 Full Review Roar: Lions of the Kalahari (2003) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Thrilling and beautiful to watch.” – Boston Globe Nov 19, 2004 Full Review Galapagos (1999) 100% 2.5/4 EDIT “A few magnificent moments underwater can make it all seem worthwhile.” – Boston Globe Nov 12, 2004 Full Review Yu-Gi-Oh! (2004) 6% 1/4 EDIT “Yu-Gi-Oh! is so flat as to make the card game on which it is based seem positively three-dimensional.” – Boston Globe Aug 13, 2004 Full Review Clifford's Really Big Movie (2004) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's not dreadful, just dull.” – Boston Globe Apr 23, 2004 Full Review Volcanoes of the Deep Sea (2003) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “Throws some spectacular and previously unseen images onto the giant Imax screen, but it stitches them together with a sometimes confusing narrative that only distracts from the fascinating undersea world.” – Boston Globe Mar 19, 2004 Full Review Brother Bear (2003) 38% 2/4 EDIT “Give one chef eggs, cream, and sugar, and he'll produce creme brulee. In another kitchen, you'll get plain old vanilla pudding. What we have in Brother Bear, for all the potentially tasty ingredients, is pudding.” – Boston Globe Nov 16, 2003 Full Review Bugs! (2003) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's startling how quickly you adjust to the giant scale and start seeing the world through a bug's eyes.” – Boston Globe Sep 28, 2003 Full Review Rugrats Go Wild (2003) 39% 2.5/4 EDIT “The real question is not whether it's a great movie for adults -- you already know the answer to that one -- but whether it's bearable, and whether the kids will love it. It is, and they will.” – Boston Globe Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Pokémon Heroes (2003) 20% 1/4 EDIT “The same old grab for the wallet.” – Boston Globe May 16, 2003 Full Review What a Girl Wants (2003) 34% 2/4 EDIT “It's not that What a Girl Wants is dreadful; it's merely slapdash, wildly inconsistent in tone and style, and mind-numbingly predictable in character and plot.” – Boston Globe Apr 4, 2003 Full Review
