Bride of Re-Animator (1990) 56% EDIT “The story doesn’t have enough twists to shake its Frankenstein roots, but West is still a great character... Too bad the great Barbara Crampton isn’t back to help re-animate this sequel into the original’s blend of horror, black comedy, and eroticism.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% 2/4 EDIT “Peter Jackson has once again given us an expansive spoof of bombastic, medieval fantasy adventures: the furrowed brows, the swords and sorcery, the creatures, the hair extensions. Oh, that's right, it’s not supposed to be silly.” – The Improper Bostonian Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 2/4 EDIT “...even beyond the perhaps outdated points this movie makes, Requiem fails in its more basic story elements.” – The Improper Bostonian Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% 1/4 EDIT “As ridiculous and unconvincing as the first, though slightly more streamlined in story, this bombastic Bond wannabe has some of Woo's trademark touches, but they're no match for Cruise's narcissism. ” – The Improper Bostonian May 8, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% 2/4 EDIT “Ewan McGregor is just right, as always, as humble Obi-Wan Kenobi. ” – The Improper Bostonian Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 1.5/4 EDIT “...while Star Wars made you feel the affection among the characters that were thrown together, you only feel this movie's phantom heart, something for which no amount of special effects or outer space action can compensate.” – The Improper Bostonian Apr 16, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 69% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's bold and often effective, but the humor only propels the movie so far.” – The Improper Bostonian Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% EDIT “The way the movie repeatedly drives home the motivations for Phoenix's paternally scorned neurosis and Crowe's proud victim becomes repetitious; you think they could have brought some more shading to the characters in 160 minutes. ” – The Improper Bostonian Nov 1, 2022 Full Review Father and Son (2003) 68% 1/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Feb 17, 2007 Full Review Brothers (2004) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Oct 17, 2006 Full Review Carnage (1984) 25% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Dec 24, 2005 Full Review The Year of the Yao (2004) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Aug 5, 2005 Full Review On-Line (2001) 38% 1.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 18, 2005 Full Review Secret Lives: Hidden Children & Their Rescuers During WWII (2002) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005) 20% 1/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review The Heart of Me (2002) 50% 1.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Maid in Manhattan (2002) 37% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Love the Hard Way (2001) 28% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Wrong Turn (2003) 40% 1.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Garage Days (2002) 45% 1/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Masked and Anonymous (2003) 26% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Swimming Pool (2003) 84% 3/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Versus (2000) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Missing Young Woman (2001) 83% 3/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Bonhoeffer (2003) 70% 2.5/4 EDIT “” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2005 Full Review
