Marci X (2003) 8% 1.5/4 EDIT “The film sheds weak satirical light on the issues of freedom of speech, media responsibility, and oppression of minorities. It's anybody's guess who the target audience could be.” – Christian Science Monitor Jul 29, 2014 Full Review My Boss's Daughter (2003) 7% 1/4 EDIT “The real disaster is the slapstick-ridden script, which a great supporting cast is powerless to salvage.” – Christian Science Monitor Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Almost Heroes (1998) 5% EDIT “You just wish it were half as funny as it tries to be.” – Christian Science Monitor Jul 15, 2014 Full Review From Justin to Kelly (2003) 8% 1.5/4 EDIT “Fans may enjoy their Idol songs and parents may appreciate its wholesomeness, but there's little else to recommend in this throwback to the '60s Beach Blanket movies.” – Christian Science Monitor Jul 9, 2014 Full Review Bad Boys II (2003) 23% 2/4 EDIT “Clever ideas and hilarious moments drown in a flood of violence and profanity.” – Christian Science Monitor Jun 6, 2014 Full Review Can't Hardly Wait (1998) 42% EDIT “This formula teen flick has engaging performances and a few laughs.” – Christian Science Monitor Mar 19, 2014 Full Review Dark Days (2000) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “As we come to know the residents, we find their lives, and yearning for home and safety, as tragic, funny, and involving as anything in a scripted movie.” – Christian Science Monitor Mar 3, 2014 Full Review Cherish (2002) 51% 2.5/4 EDIT “A witty little thriller emerges as Zoe, under house arrest, resourcefully stretches her electronic anklet's restrictions.” – Christian Science Monitor Feb 13, 2014 Full Review The Master of Disguise (2002) 1% 2.5/4 EDIT “It is not as funny as it could be, and none of it makes sense, especially Pistachio's ability to mimic any dialect but standard US English. But his versatility is astonishing.” – Christian Science Monitor May 29, 2013 Full Review The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) 6% 1.5/4 EDIT “With colossal sets, a remarkable cast, and hundreds of extras, this sci-fi comedy-adventure spoof of '30s movies should be funny and adventuresome, but it falls flat.” – Christian Science Monitor May 23, 2013 Full Review Deal (2008) 3% EDIT “A raft of pros appear as themselves, but this story will likely seem less exciting than an actual competition.” – Christian Science Monitor Apr 25, 2008 Full Review Nim's Island (2008) 51% B- EDIT “Audiences may find early scenes of father-daughter family life more engaging than the adventures that ensue, but this is a fairly successful attempt at a preteen-friendly entertainment.” – Christian Science Monitor Apr 4, 2008 Full Review Rambo (2008) 38% C- EDIT “Torture, depravity, kidnap, massacre, and gore abound. You've been warned.” – Christian Science Monitor Jan 25, 2008 Full Review How She Move (2007) 67% B- EDIT “The plot is serviceable enough, but it's really just an excuse to showcase some remarkably original choreography and athletic dancing.” – Christian Science Monitor Jan 25, 2008 Full Review Untraceable (2008) 16% B EDIT “This well-made thriller's ending almost makes up for what goes before.” – Christian Science Monitor Jan 25, 2008 Full Review Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) 12% D EDIT “The film's production values are good, but the goings-on are laughable, if not downright boring.” – Christian Science Monitor Jan 10, 2008 Full Review The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007) 74% B EDIT “An intelligent and family-friendly variation on the boy and his dog story in which the 'dog' is a cuddly little creature that turns into the Loch Ness monster.” – Christian Science Monitor Jan 10, 2008 Full Review 30 Days of Night (2007) 50% C EDIT “Here's a story set in a place where people are almost as impervious to cold as vampires, and roads remain plowed even after a blizzard.” – Christian Science Monitor Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Things We Lost in the Fire (2007) 65% B EDIT “If the film tends toward didacticism at times, it's a welcome advertisement for compassion.” – Christian Science Monitor Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Gone Baby Gone (2007) 94% B EDIT “This is a worthy and exciting directorial debut from Ben Affleck.” – Christian Science Monitor Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) 24% D EDIT “A mad scientist (Iain Glen), hired to domesticate the zombies with serum he derives from the blood of Alice or her clones, is actually breeding superzombies to no discernible purpose other than adding gore and mayhem.” – Christian Science Monitor Sep 27, 2007 Full Review Balls of Fury (2007) 22% C EDIT “It's an alternately hilarious and lame movie, but fairly inoffensive if one overlooks some breaches of political correctness and heavy reliance on shots to the groin.” – Christian Science Monitor Aug 30, 2007 Full Review Superbad (2007) 88% D EDIT “A lot of wit and inventiveness went into this production -- too bad it couldn't have been used constructively.” – Christian Science Monitor Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Daddy Day Camp (2007) 1% C- EDIT “This kinder and gentler sequel features the main characters from Daddy Day Care but with a different cast.” – Christian Science Monitor Aug 9, 2007 Full Review Bratz (2007) 10% C- EDIT “This film plays like an overproduced music video, swamping message and talent alike.” – Christian Science Monitor Aug 9, 2007 Full Review
