Beltrami, Marco

• Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, The (2002)

  [7/10]

  "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys tells a touching story that really captures the essence of growing up as a teenage boy in a staunch Catholic family, and in spite of all the anachronisms, I found the movie completely engaging."

• Omen, The (2006)

  [5/10]

  "Even though each of the parts of the remake surpasses the scenes in the original, the sum of the parts doesn't surpass the effect of the original."

• Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The (2005)

  [4/10]

  "Three Burials tries to make big symbolic and political statements but just fails to have the power to follow through with these intentions."
