Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) 17% 3/4 EDIT “[A] craptastic orgy of gore - one that's way better than it has any right to be.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 30, 2013 Full Review Devil (2010) 49% 3/4 EDIT “Don't be fooled by the melodramatic speechifying (or that unfortunate voiceover) -- this film offers sly winks aplenty beneath the good-and-evil bluster.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 22, 2010 Full Review Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) 21% 3/4 EDIT “Just hearing the audience gasp from vertigo during the opening zoom-out shot is almost worth the price of admission.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 16, 2010 Full Review Piranha (2010) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Can we ask anything more of a popcorn horror flick? No, we cannot.” – Boston Phoenix Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Valhalla Rising (2009) 70% 3/4 EDIT “This is Aguirre, the Wrath of God, with the despondency jacked to 11.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 29, 2010 Full Review Rec 2 (2009) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “Using the same frenetic pacing and POV shakycam style, [REC] 2 tries to go bigger -- but this time, the gimmicks can seem forced. Still, there's plenty to like...” – Boston Phoenix Jul 14, 2010 Full Review Letters to Juliet (2010) 42% 1.5/4 EDIT “Eye candy abounds, but it'd be easier to enjoy that sun-drenched scenery if director Gary Winick weren't so hell-bent on cramming clichés down our throats that include square-jawed hunks riding in on white horses and scaling balconies.” – Boston Phoenix May 13, 2010 Full Review Bluebeard (2009) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “Will Breillat flip the tale and have Marie-Catherine take advantage of her paramour? Alas, the plot unfolds as you'd expect.” – Boston Phoenix May 13, 2010 Full Review And Then Came Lola (2009) 2.5/4 EDIT “Was the world clamoring for a comic-erotic lesbian tribute to Run Lola Run? Maybe not, but I have to hand it to directors Ellen Seidler and Megan Siler for Frankensteining this one together.” – Boston Phoenix May 5, 2010 Full Review The Human Centipede (2009) 48% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's a stomach-turning joy to watch Laser put on his demented Mengele act, ripping out incisors, brandishing a riding crop, and ranting about his beloved "3-dog."” – Boston Phoenix May 5, 2010 Full Review The Sun Behind the Clouds: Tibet's Struggle for Freedom (2010) 88% 3/4 EDIT “This quietly intense documentary from husband-and-wife filmmakers Tenzing Sonam and Ritu Sarin shines a light on the inter-Tibetan turbulence.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 28, 2010 Full Review Winter's Bone (2010) 94% 3/4 EDIT “Noir may be the MSG of genres -- a little pinch makes almost any film tastier -- but does it work for Ozark gothic drama? Yes.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 21, 2010 Full Review Green Zone (2010) 53% 3/4 EDIT “It's an engrossing (if fictionalized) answer to the question "How did we get here, exactly?"” – Boston Phoenix Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Blood Into Wine (2010) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Surely everyone can appreciate the gorgeous Verde Valley vistas and out-of-left-field celebrity cameos, which include Bob Odenkirk as a grape-mauling French wine snob.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 24, 2010 Full Review District 13: Ultimatum (2009) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “If you enjoyed the first installment, Ultimatum will probably be right up your alley...not to mention your fire-escape railing and your rooftop ledge.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 18, 2010 Full Review Until the Light Takes Us (2008) 46% 3/4 EDIT “Glacially paced yet gripping.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 10, 2010 Full Review Dear John (2010) 28% 1/4 EDIT “At one point, John announces: "We're sitting here . . . and we're talking, but nobody's actually saying anything." Why, John, I thought you'd never notice.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 4, 2010 Full Review In Search of Beethoven (2009) 93% 3/4 EDIT “An intriguing portrait of the man as a hopeless romantic, a smack-talking punk, a sickly individual tormented by his deafness and thoughts of suicide, and an "eternal optimist."” – Boston Phoenix Jan 7, 2010 Full Review Brothers (2009) 63% 3.5/4 EDIT “Brothers is an elegant and devastating exploration of identity.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 9, 2009 Full Review The Princess and the Frog (2009) 86% 3/4 EDIT “The soundtrack doesn't offer the sheer earworm power of previous Disney hits, but the musical numbers do bump along engagingly from jazz to gospel to zydeco.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 9, 2009 Full Review The Messenger (2009) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Director Oren Moverman's feature-length debut is a little like The Hurt Locker in the way it uncomfortably probes a little-known military organelle.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 19, 2009 Full Review Bronson (2008) 75% 3/4 EDIT “Done differently, the cat-and-mouse brawling could get tiresome, but Tom Hardy as Bronson -- with his shaved head, handlebar moustache, and glittering eyes -- is mesmerizing.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 19, 2009 Full Review Black Dynamite (2009) 83% 3/4 EDIT “As Dynamite kung-fu-fights his way through a vast conspiracy involving smack-addled orphans, malt liquor, and the best (read: worst) exploding-car scene of 2009, you'll feel a rush of '70s nostalgia you never knew you had.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 12, 2009 Full Review Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009) 37% 2/4 EDIT “Harry Potter this ain't. But it's fun all the same.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 29, 2009 Full Review Good Hair (2009) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Good Hair is a film that will make your head itch to know more.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 22, 2009 Full Review
