The Lion King (1994) 93% “Best of all is Scar: his sly treachery is worthy of Shakespeare's master overreacher, and Jeremy Irons responds as if born to play Richard III.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “This is a "Hunchback" for children that adults can enjoy; it reduces Hugo's vision to the level of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. That, of course, was a great movie. So is this. ” – Boston Phoenix Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% “Best of all, it combines old-fashioned values like integrity, discipline, and respect with tolerance, kindness and caring. In short, it's a hell of a movie.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% “ It’s a promising idea, but scriptwriters Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis (Ramis also directed) seem to have no idea what a “better” Bill Murray would look like... in short, [he becomes] more cynical and manipulative than ever.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 7, 2022 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% “The animators deliver where it counts, in the expressions of Ariel and Prince Eric, whose love-at-first-sight is sweet but not saccharine.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 15, 2013 Full Review Becoming Traviata (2012) 81% 3/4 “You can follow the story even if you're unfamiliar with the opera - though a five-minute brush-up on the plot wouldn't hurt.” – Boston Globe May 30, 2013 Full Review Mahler on the Couch (2010) 50% 2/4 “It's a decent addition to the modest list of films about the composer, but no substitute for Mahler, Ken Russell's 1974 comic-strip classic.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 29, 2012 Full Review Battlefield America (2012) 8% 2/4 “If you're looking for a tough, streetwise film about urban kids who get together to enter a national hip-hop dance competition, "Battlefield America" is not your movie.” – Boston Globe May 31, 2012 Full Review Jig (2011) 63% 2.5/4 “There's no voiceover, just kids and parents and coaches talking about their passion.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 16, 2011 Full Review When We Leave (2010) 72% “What elevates When We Leave is the three-dimensional acting and the larger context.” – Boston Phoenix Mar 31, 2011 Full Review Jane Eyre (2011) 85% 4/4 “Fukunaga does more than most to flesh out her days with Rivers and his sisters. He keeps Bront's theme of religious repression ever present, and he still finds time to watch Jane quietly as she cuts flowers and thinks.” – Boston Phoenix Mar 18, 2011 Full Review Nénette (2010) 85% 4/4 “This documentary from Nicolas Philibert (To Be and To Have) opens in close-up of a pair of orangutan eyes.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 20, 2011 Full Review Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen (2009) 83% 2.5/4 “For the most part, Vision offers conventional wisdom -- just what Hildegard didn't.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 6, 2010 Full Review Tamara Drewe (2010) 65% 3/4 “Hews closely to its immediate source while lightening the tone and adding sly, Hardy-esque detail.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 13, 2010 Full Review Secretariat (2010) 64% 2.5/4 “Secretariat isn't as gritty as it should have been, but it sure is happy.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 6, 2010 Full Review Macbeth (1971) 78% “The palpable dagger to the Bard's mind (and to the play's real subject, time) is Polanski's cynicism.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Videocracy (2009) 67% 2/4 “Italian-born director Erik Gandini's damning mess of a documentary purports to reveal that Italy is 온라인카지노추천- and celebrity-besotted -- which is true but not new.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 10, 2010 Full Review Sex and the City 2 (2010) 16% 3/4 “For a franchise that was supposed to be adventurous about sex, this film is about as cutting-edge as The Love Boat. But if you're a fan, you'll get your money's worth.” – Boston Phoenix May 26, 2010 Full Review Dancing Across Borders (2009) 57% 3/4 “Twyla Tharp calls him "remarkable," and watching him do Harlequin in Balanchine's La Sonnambula, you can see why: he might not be a born ballet dancer, but he's a born performer.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 21, 2010 Full Review The Secret of Kells (2009) 90% 3.5/4 “It's the way the visuals tap into medieval Celtic art that elevates this Oscar-nominated animation from Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey...” – Boston Phoenix Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Star Trek (2009) 94% 3.5/4 “This Star Trek will be exploring the cinematic universe for many years to come.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 15, 2009 Full Review La Danse -- Le Ballet de l'Opera de Paris (2009) 87% 3.5/4 “Wiseman's camera wanders upstairs, downstairs, backstage, and even to the Garnier's rooftop apiary.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 9, 2009 Full Review Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America (2007) 41% 2/4 “More or less what you'd have if Ingmar Bergman had shot The Blair Witch Project...” – Boston Phoenix Nov 5, 2009 Full Review Bright Star (2009) 82% 2.5/4 “Fanny deserved more than just a generic place in the heavens as a Great Lover Thwarted by Fate. Bright Star is only second-magnitude.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 24, 2009 Full Review Pierrot le Fou (1965) 88% 4/4 “Pierrot is a mess, no matter how many times you see it, but it's a brilliant mess. Death of love, (re)birth of cinema.” – Boston Phoenix Apr 23, 2009 Full Review
