" The performances are solid, with Mucci and Ingram forming a great didactic duo." -- EDGE Boston

B-
 
" Wisely, directors Mark Osborne, DreamWorks vet John Stephenson and their quartet of scribes avoid all the pop culture anachronisms that might quickly date the movie (and really, was a "Matrix" spoof ever really funny?)." -- EDGE Boston

" HDNet's portrait of a boarding family catches that wave and rides it all the way to shore (and yes, we used a surfing metaphor in a shameless attempt to become more blurbworthy)." -- EDGE Boston

" Here, though, all the silly talking creatures are endearing, and mee-sa no want-sa roast-an any of them on a spit like I did that asinine, decerebrated Stepin Fetchit, Jar-Jar Binks." -- EDGE Boston

C-
 
" Some things are better left a memory, as most people who have recently seen this mercifully short-lived TV series from 1982 (after they like, y'know, totally freaked out over its decades-long lack of any kind of home video release) will tell you." -- EDGE Boston

Square Pegs - The Complete Series ()n/a

" Critic-proof, many-hatted Tyler Perry has done it again: delivered an overreaching and overexpositional melodrama that opened at No. 1." -- Christian Science Monitor

" Sports more baseball clichés than Scarface had swearwords." -- Christian Science Monitor

C-
 
" Walden Media's success at making the worlds of Narnia and Terabithia feel real on screen does not translate into the same magic in adapting Susan Cooper's series of young-adult fantasy novels." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Oct 4, 2007
 
The Seeker (2007)13%
/
A-
 
" Hitler's methodical plan to plunder and destroy Europe's great works of art gets lush treatment in this comprehensive documentary." -- Christian Science Monitor

The Rape Of Europa (2007)79%
/
C
 
" Tony-winner Dan Fogler, as Cook's childhood friend, is embarrassingly foul, and even criminally cute Jessica Alba is wasted, playing Cook's painfully clumsy gal pal/penguin nut in this alternately warm and ugly ball of whacks." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Sep 20, 2007
 
Good Luck Chuck (2007)3%
/
D+
 
" The concept here is fun -- good and evil dragons of ancient Korean legend do battle in modern-day Los Angeles -- but a lazy and amateurish script and embarrassingly hollow acting hobble it right out of the gate." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Sep 20, 2007
 
Dragon Wars (2007)27%

C
 
" Maybe the writers dwelled on some trite self-help mantra to delude themselves into thinking that the giggles that the title inspires would carry for 90 minutes." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Mr. Woodcock (2007)13%
/
C+
 
" There is not yet an expression to describe how over-the-top this hyperkinetic action comedy is, from its John Woo/Rube Goldberg inspired set pieces to its painful self-awareness of its own darned cleverness." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Sep 6, 2007
 
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)67%
/
D
 
" At best, it's a five-minute late-night sketch; at worst, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Sep 6, 2007
 
The Brothers Solomon (2007)16%
/
C-
 
" With the subtlety of a bulldozer comes this dubiously pedigreed revenge thriller." -- Christian Science Monitor

Death Sentence (2007)19%

" This take on the Arthurian legend is flawed but watchable." -- Christian Science Monitor

The Last Legion (2007)17%

B
 
" The script by "Reno 911!" creators Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon gives hyperkinetic life to both a fantastic set and comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney." -- Christian Science Monitor

Night at the Museum (2006)44%
/
B
 
" Gunn, who started off with schlockmeisters Troma Films, calls on that no-budget sensibility and lets the writing do the talking, with us doing the shrieking and most memorably, the laughing." -- Christian Science Monitor
Posted Mar 30, 2006
 
Slither (2006)85%
/
B-
 
" It leaves viewers wanting more -- if not more Bard, then at least more of its hyperkinetic, unabashed young star." -- Christian Science Monitor
