    Foster Boy
    Had the filmmakers put forth the effort to view the story through Jamal’s eyes, they may have had a worthy cinematic counterpart to their noble off-camera achievements.

    The Price of Desire
    I came to McGuckian’s film knowing nothing about Gray and left feeling frustrated that I hadn’t learned more about her, apart from the boorish chauvinists in her life.

    The Mindfulness Movement
    I fully endorse the message blatantly expressed by Beemer’s picture, but as a work of cinema, it drove me nuts in how its style was antithetical to the principles its numerous subjects were championing.

    The Weekend
    By the time Margo finally announces that she’s ready to leave, I was eager to gather my things and join her in escaping this would-be comedy.

    Stuck
    It’s not a film so much as a lecture punctuated by a patronizing moral, and more importantly, it’s not much fun.

    An Actor Prepares
    Its star, Jeremy Irons, certainly appears to be relishing his role as an unapologetically bad-mannered actor, savoring each profane syllable of his dialogue like a fine wine.

    Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards
    Perhaps die-hard fashionistas would find this reasonably diverting, but to everyone else, it is guaranteed to grow tiresome very quickly.

    Fallen
    Fallen fuses its one good idea with countless bad ones generated not from life experience but from recycled formulas.

    The Human Surge
    Though the picture is admirable on a conceptual level, its execution is incoherent, interminable and a colossal strain on the eyes.

    Careful What You Wish For
    Elizabeth Allen’s generically titled thriller, Careful What You Wish For, plays like a painfully stilted high school production of “Fatal Attraction.”

    Papa: Hemingway in Cuba
    These behind-the-scenes factoids are the most interesting aspects of the film — and, regrettably, the only interesting aspects, as well.

    Lazer Team
    This movie is, in essence, a product of fame and money without the slightest tangible shred of effort.

    Endgame
    Endgame tries to be about many important issues, and ends up doing none of them justice.

    90 Minutes in Heaven
    A better title would’ve likely been “121 Minutes in Purgatory,” since that’s essentially where audiences will find themselves residing during the entirety of this dreary slog down a familiar road paved with painfully good intentions.

    War Room
    It may not be as brazenly offensive as “God’s Not Dead” or as spectacularly inept as “Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas,” but it’s still awful, offering all the forced humor and superficial substance of a half-baked homily.

    Dangerous Men
    Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, bad music, bad sound and bad fight choreography can only take a film so far. A film must be entertaining on its own terms in order to be worth recommending, and Dangerous Men is, for the most part, a bore.
