Review
'Bruno'

'Brüno' is no 'Borat'

2.0 Stars  Sacha Baron Cohen ramps up the confrontation, not the comedy, in his new film.

Review
'The Hurt Locker'

'The Hurt Locker'

3.5 Stars  In this unique film by screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow, soldiers at work in the fog of war take precedence over politics.
Review
'Lost Son of Havana'

'Lost Son of Havana'

3.0 Stars  Jonathan Hock's documentary follows former Boston Red Sox ace Luis Tiant on his return to Cuba after a 46-year exile.
Review
' I Love You, Beth Cooper'

'I Love You, Beth Cooper'

2.0 Stars  The film is a rehash of teen-comedy conventions that occasionally comes within shouting distance of its ’80s-era inspirations.
Review
'Blood'

'Blood: The Last Vampire'

1.5 Stars  Nothing particularly original, exciting, or even noteworthy happens in the film, even though it always looks as if something might.
Review
'Dillinger is Dead'

'Dillinger is Dead'

3.5 Stars  The film is an unearthed rarity: a dryly rapturous 1969 drama of modern alienation directed by the excellent, underrated Italian filmmaker Marco Ferreri (1928-97).
Review
'Public Enemies'

‘Public Enemies’

2.0 Stars  Why is this movie one of the signal disappointments of the year? You have to go back to the basics: “Public Enemies’’ has everything going for it except a reason and a script.
Review
'Ice Age'

‘Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs’

2.0 Stars  The screenwriters of this third installment in the series offer up a stale and sketchy premise. The film has some cool dinos, but few roars of laughter.
Review
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'

1.5 Stars  Michael Bay's film is - there’s no polite way to say this - 2 1/2 hours of tumescence disguised as a motion picture.
