The Social Network (2010) 96% 3.5/4 “Cool, fast, smart and sleek. It's also a surprisingly deep and almost painful reminder of the importance of a real social network - as opposed to, say, Facebook.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Oct 3, 2010 Full Review Piranha (2010) 75% 1/4 “Too much Jersey Shore, not enough piranhas.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Aug 20, 2010 Full Review The Other Guys (2010) 79% 3/4 “This peacock really flies, but what's with the credits?” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Aug 6, 2010 Full Review Inception (2010) 87% 3.5/4 “It's bold. It's exciting. It makes you think. It engages. It impresses. It frustrates. And it does it all a helluva lot better than Shutter Island.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Jul 18, 2010 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2010) 99% 3.5/4 “Is it breaking new ground, the way Pixar does? No, it's not quite that ambitious. It just wants to entertain for 98 minutes. I was wowed. That's what I was hoping for and that's what I got.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Apr 1, 2010 Full Review The Bounty Hunter (2010) 13% 2/4 “It's a little sad that in 2010 we still have dated films like this, but some movies are just 'critic proof' comfort food. You know exactly what you are going to get and that's what you pay for.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Mar 25, 2010 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (2010) 50% 2.25/4 “Tim Burton is the kind of director who probably does come up with six impossible things before breakfast. So it was a surprise to see him produce a film so lacking in joy, innovation and curiosity.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Mar 18, 2010 Full Review The Crazies (2010) 72% 2.5/4 “Tense. Gross. Gory. Nice shots of Iowa. Nice shots of Joe Anderson as my new favorite Brit-who-roughs-it-up-playing-American. But is it something you're likely to remember 10 minutes after it ends? Nah.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Mar 4, 2010 Full Review Shutter Island (2010) 69% 2.75/4 “I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. But the more I think about it, the more I want to see it again ... if only to dissect it more.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Feb 25, 2010 Full Review The Cove (2009) 95% 3/4 “I don't think I can go to marine parks anymore.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Feb 19, 2010 Full Review Legion (2010) 20% 2.25/4 “It's Terminator plus Dogma times Supernatural as set in a Stephen King novel reinterpreted by someone without a sense of humor or knack for dialogue operating on a low budget. But God help me, I liked it!” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Jan 28, 2010 Full Review Crazy Heart (2009) 90% 3.25/4 “I wanted to walk out bowled over by Jeff Bridges and his 'performance of a lifetime,' but I was fixated on the Colin Farrell factor.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Jan 21, 2010 Full Review Daybreakers (2009) 69% 3/4 “Now this is a vampire movie.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Jan 14, 2010 Full Review The Messenger (2009) 90% 2.75/4 “Well acted, bare-bones look at homefront horror, but it's not quite in the same war league as The Hurt Locker.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Jan 7, 2010 Full Review Nine (2009) 39% 2.5/4 “In the canon of modern musicals, Nine belongs miles beneath Moulin Rouge, and even Evita and bright, whimsical Mamma Mia.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Dec 31, 2009 Full Review Avatar (2009) 81% 2.5/4 “Breaks technological ground with stunning visuals, but disappoints on story and characters - which still do matter.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Dec 24, 2009 Full Review Invictus (2009) 77% 3/4 “Obama could use a Rugby World Cup. Something to unite his disaffected nation.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Dec 13, 2009 Full Review Brothers (2009) 63% 3/4 “In the large canon of war films, Brothers falls somewhere in the upper middle of the pack, but it's not bold or original enough to make a lasting name for itself.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Dec 6, 2009 Full Review The Road (2009) 74% 3/4 “It's a beautiful, harrowing story and a good film. I'm just worried it's not good enough considering its potential.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Dec 3, 2009 Full Review Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) 93% 3.25/4 “Fantastic Mr. Fox is (waves hands around face) different. In a good way. In a great way, actually.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Nov 30, 2009 Full Review Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009) 92% 3/4 “And here I thought 2012 was unrelenting and A Serious Man was about the trials of Job. Huh.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Nov 29, 2009 Full Review The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) 28% 2/4 “If they spent more time on the scripts, coaching the actors and finding less distracting hair and makeup, they might earn what they have but don't deserve: the fans' unconditional love.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Nov 21, 2009 Full Review 2012 (2009) 40% 2.75/4 “The Ron Jeremy of disaster porn.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Nov 13, 2009 Full Review The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) 51% 2.5/4 “If I could make a mix tape of scenes from this film I'd watch them repeatedly. But as a whole, it was a missed opportunity. And the ending . . . even Obi-Wan would roll his eyes. Definitely not the droids I was looking for.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Nov 7, 2009 Full Review The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009) 23% 2/4 “Let's just say it doesn't make me feel like Riverdancing.” – Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) Oct 31, 2009 Full Review
