Review of The Book of Life (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 15 Oct 2014

Other aspects of the story might be conventional, but the atmospheric visuals aren't…

Review of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 08 Oct 2014

What the filmmakers come up with is a modestly likable mix of zany and gently warmhearted, even if they overdo both elements at times…

Review of Kill the Messenger (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 08 Oct 2014

It’s an engrossing portrait not only of government intrigue and crusading after the truth, but of media and their tangled motivations…

Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 17 Sep 2014

The problem with this adaptation of Lawrence Block’s detective yarn isn’t that it casts Neeson in a role we’re seeing him play again…

Review of Dolphin Tale 2 (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 11 Sep 2014

Some angst away from the dolphin tank feels like padding, but there’s enough bona fide narrative to please tomorrow’s marine biologists…

Review of The Expedition to the End of the World (2013)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 10 Sep 2014

It might not be quite the adventure film that the press materials promise, but it's a diverting enough variation on familiar environmental-crisis…

Review of Innocence (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 04 Sep 2014

It’s an idea that could make for decent genre viewing, if only its cast had some range, and its indie reach didn’t exceed its mainstream-polished…

Review of No No: A Dockumentary (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 03 Sep 2014

The idea that documentarian Jeffrey Radice would make the episode both the hook and the opener for his film is to be expected — it’s an…

Review of Innocence (2013)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 03 Sep 2014

It’s an idea that could make for decent genre viewing, if only its cast had some range, and its indie reach didn’t exceed its mainstream-polished…

Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Aug 2014

You could argue that the only thing that’s automatic about A Dame to Kill For, really, is some of the firepower that its hardcases are packing…

Review of When the Game Stands Tall (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Aug 2014

It makes for a structurally glitchy inspirational exercise whose climax carries all the goosebump-making drama of a Pats preseason game…

Review of The Expendables 3 (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 13 Aug 2014

It’s a preposterously overstuffed strategy that, go figure, not only works, but even cures a thing or two that ailed the previous movies…

Review of Let's Be Cops (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 13 Aug 2014

None of this is as riotously zany as it wants to be…

Review of Calvary (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 06 Aug 2014

Taking its title from the site where Christ was crucified, the controversy-courting film has a lot of Catholic church business (and doctrine)…

Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 06 Aug 2014

The repartee, as ever, is weak. Even with all the extra layers of digital detail, it’s still tough to keep these four straight…

Review of The China Syndrome (1979)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 03 Aug 2014

A moderately compelling thriller about the potential perils of nuclear energy, whose major fault is an overweening sense of its own self-importance…

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 30 Jul 2014

The motley crew’s repartee makes for comedy that’s surprisingly consistent, yet freewheeling and sharp enough to pinball from Kevin Bacon…

Review of Earth to Echo (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 30 Jun 2014

Green and his cast deliver a wonderful surprise. Echo himself, a generically precious alien, is the least of it…

Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 11 Jun 2014

How to Train Your Dragon 2 recaptures those lyrical highs…

Review of Maleficent (2014)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 28 May 2014

While this is Jolie’s show, obviously — and she’s terrifically arch — the surprising dearth of other compelling characters doesn’t…
