1.
Jumping The Broom
Boston Phoenix
05/12/11 Moderate "...the mess you get when you mix 'Romeo and Juliet' with 'Are We There Yet?' and 'Meet the Fockers.' "
2.
The Last Lions
Boston Phoenix
03/03/11 Very Good "Sporting impressive footage that captures sunrises, wildfires, and stampedes... turns Duba Island into a theater of survival, love, and adaptation."
3.
Cell 211 (Celda 211)
Boston Phoenix
10/21/10 Very Good "...an outrageous, impossible story.... a hard-boiled, lightning-paced look into prison culture."
4.
Hatchet II
Boston Phoenix
09/30/10 Weak "Witness the diminishing entertainment returns of watching a belt sander grate through someone's face."
5.
Vampires Suck
Boston Phoenix
08/27/10 Poor "...less a parody and more a breezy compilation of vampire flicks that gets no life from its D-list comedians."
6.
Nobody's Perfect
Boston Phoenix
08/26/10 Very Good "Thanks to the austere style -- no narrator to explain things, no violins to cue sympathy -- filmmaker Niko von Glasow achieves something rare in documentaries today: the joy of listening to people talk."
7.
Kisses
Boston Phoenix
08/05/10 Very Good "...resembles a prepubescent, hard-boiled version of 'Before Sunrise'... all of it captured by director and cinematographer Lance Daly's smooth and wondrously lighted camerawork."
8.
Cropsey
Boston Phoenix
06/10/10 Outstanding "A perturbing blend of horror and documentary... looks at what happens when the boogeyman is real.... shakes you as well as inspires you to pursue the terrifying truth."
9.
Holy Rollers
Boston Phoenix
06/03/10 Very Good "Bracingly paced, charged with pinball dialogue, and streaming with an infectious global soundtrack..."
10.
The Exploding Girl
Boston Phoenix
05/06/10 Good (Not Great) "...fizzles in its aimlessness.... At least director Bradley Rust Grey contains all this diverting dithering in 80 minutes -- even without an explosion, there's intrigue in watching a short fuse burn."
11.
Legion
Boston Phoenix
01/28/10 Poor "God is fed up with all the bullshit.... He smites us with flies and mutated humans, forcing Michael and his band of stereotypes to camp out and fend off everyone from ice-cream men to demonic grandmas.... it all fades to exploding stomachs and the Archangel Gabriel's chainsaw."
