The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “Lee's twists on the well-worn false-marriage premise makes for an ideal farce.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% “The Disney team may not have polished Aladdin to their usual sheen, but they haven't embalmed it, either. There's plenty of magic and surprise left in the old lamp.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% “The genius of this movie is that it makes Belle the active heroine, and the Beast the passive love object that must be saved. ” – Boston Phoenix Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 43% “Anyone expecting director Tim Burton's trademark visionary otherworldliness will be disappointed by the standard action fare of this big-budget remake.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 30, 2024 Full Review When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) 69% “As the Greens’ trying-to-be-strong elder daughter, nine-year-old Tina Majorino is a revelation.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Addams Family Values (1993) 75% “One hopes to see Ricci rewarded with a little Oscar, perhaps with its head chopped off. ” – Boston Phoenix Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Back to the Future Part II (1989) 63% “This sequel doesn't just borrow plot ideas and gags from the first movie; it outright lifts entire sequences.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Striptease (1996) 13% “Striptease is not a disaster like that other expensive ecdysiast extravaganza, Showgirls, though if it were, it might at least have some redeeming camp awfulness to enliven its otherwise dull mediocrity.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 18, 2014 Full Review Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) 86% 3/4 “For all its gorgeous freakishness, the movie is even more about love and friendship than the first one was.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 15, 2013 Full Review Salt (2010) 62% 2.5/4 “If there's not much suspense in the plotting, at least there's plenty in wondering how Lara Croft -- oops, Evelyn Salt -- will get out of one impossibly tight scrape after another.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 21, 2010 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 94% “Comparisons are invidious, but inescapable: Boogie Nights is the most stunningly accomplished, attention-grabbing movie by a sophomore director since Pulp Fiction.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Casino Royale (2006) 94% 3/4 “Every era gets the James Bond it deserves. Ours gets a Bond who's strong and forceful but also reckless and arrogant, who blunders into tricky situations in Third World countries and makes a bloody mess of things.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 23, 2009 Full Review X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) 56% 3/4 “Yes, Ratner's music-video attention span and inability to linger on a shot ... blunts the impact of some of [the] big emotional moments. Nonetheless, he liked Singer's films as much as you did, and he hasn't tried to fix what ain't broke.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 23, 2009 Full Review Night Watch (2004) 59% “Night Watch is a completely synthetic yet thoroughly original movie.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 23, 2009 Full Review Miami Vice (2006) 47% 3/4 “The woozy, disorienting, fever-dream ambiance that's a Mann trademark is as much a character as the cops and robbers, all of them playing with shifting identities and uncertain loyalties.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 23, 2009 Full Review The Ringer (2005) 40% B- “Knoxville's willingness to go to any length to humiliate himself for a laugh actually serves his guilt-ridden character, but the movie's real stars are the Special Olympians, who aren't trying to be inspirational or even likable, just funny.” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 27, 2005 Full Review War of the Worlds (2005) 76% 2.5/4 “War of the Worlds ends too abruptly, running out of juice just as the aliens do. Even on summer popcorn terms, it's a tepid finish to a movie that, for its first hour or so, taps so expertly into our fears.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 76% “The Coens are setting themselves up again for the charge of misanthropy, but their cynicism here is so pure that, at least as embodied by Clooney and Zeta-Jones, it comes off as a kind of romantic ideal.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 11, 2003 Full Review Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) 24% “The preposterous plot line does give De Bont an excuse to send Jolie flying in a handful of heartstopping stunt sequences. But she's her own special effect, as protean, mercurial, and dangerous as any piece of wirework or CGI.” – Boston Phoenix Aug 9, 2003 Full Review The Matrix Reloaded (2003) 74% “The Matrix was, hands down, the best cyberpunk/kung fu/techno-pagan/Christian-allegory action film ever made. The Matrix Reloaded is the second best.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 2, 2003 Full Review Bruce Almighty (2003) 48% “This is the rubber-faced, rubber-limbed Carrey of old, and it's a treat to watch his brilliant clowning, no matter how juvenile it is.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 2, 2003 Full Review Catch Me if You Can (2002) 96% “You'll be charmed and entertained for a couple hours, but then you'll realize you're out 10 bucks.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 23, 2002 Full Review Die Another Day (2002) 56% “Director Lee Tamahori, who made his mark as a director of substance with Once Were Warriors, is now completely substance-free.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 23, 2002 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 56% “Everything has fallen into place for an action megathriller that should please everyone except those still smarting over the Jim Phelps betrayal.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 11, 2002 Full Review Spider-Man (2002) 90% “The movie artfully nails the comics' take on adolescent helplessness, but its sense of comic-book fun is in too short supply.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 1, 2002 Full Review
