    Gamer (2009)

    " The game sequences are all familiar flash, and zero tension." — Boston Globe

    Halloween II (2009)

    " With his new sequel, Zombie spends less time paying tribute and more time getting inventive, with mixed results." — Boston Globe

    12 Rounds (2009)

    " Time for a revenge game cribbed right from the Die Hard series (and directed, hardly coincidentally, by Renny Harlin, who's an awfully long way from Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger here)." — Boston Globe

    Babylon A.D. (2008)

    " When this Vin Diesel vehicle isn't pointlessly frenzied, it's narratively inert, wasting some decent production design, and a French-flavored cast primed for fun." — Boston Globe

    Sixty Six (2008)

    " [Director] Weiland pours so much heart into his autobiographically 'true-ish' story that accessibility is a nonissue." — Boston Globe

    Death Race (2008)

    " Thanks to its character interplay, the movie doesn't drag despite taking a good 40 minutes to really rev its engines. And the racing that ensues is as loud, fast, hyper-edited, and pulverizingly destructive as the gladiatorially minded would hope." — Boston Globe

    The Clone Wars (2008)

    " The latest example of how the franchise keeps frustratingly spurning the magical simplicity of the original trilogy." — Boston Globe

    A Four Letter Word (2008)

    " The film also serves up latte-frothy glimpses of an all-drag bridal shower, an erotic spinning class, and - all of 90 seconds into the proceedings -- naked yoga. Don't forget to bring your wipe-down towel." — Boston Globe

    The Brothers Solomon (2007)

    " This new goof might have been funnier still if the premise weren't so derivative, so just been there, done that." — Boston Globe

    Halloween (2007)

    " As a sensory experience, the redo is flat. Even if giving audiences a start were Zombie's strength, fans already know when the scares are coming." — Boston Globe

    DOA: Dead or Alive (2007)

    " Corey Yuen and his writers have adapted their dubiously titled DOA: Dead or Alive from the video game series of the same name -- apparently convinced that the scraps of backstory originally scribbled by the gamers were plenty." — Boston Globe

    Batman Begins (2005)

    " Director Christopher Nolan & Christian Bale map Bruce Wayne's twisty psychological progression from damaged young man to Batman in this moody, wink-free origin tale." — Premiere Magazine

    Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    " Alfred Molina, an indie mainstay, delivers a high-Ocktane performance as Spider-Man 2's heavily armed villain." — Premiere Magazine

    Showtime (2002)

    " [P]artnering Murphy with Robert De Niro for the TV-cops comedy Showtime would seem to be surefire casting. The catch is that they're stuck with a script that prevents them from firing on all cylinders." — Boston Globe
