from Ty Burr's review of Poseidon in today's Boston Globe:
That's entertainment? Maybe, but it plays with queasy dissonance in a post-9/11 world. There will be people who won't go to ''United 93" because they think it will be depressing yet will go to ''Poseidon" expecting an exciting night at the movies, and I guess I don't understand how their brains work. Maybe the prospect of a second-tier cast dying for the sins of previous bad movies is enough of a camp factor to tilt the scales (although Rossum will have to do hundreds of these to atone for ''The Phantom of the Opera"). In a world of fresh horror, though, ''Poseidon" seems a strangely punishing form of make-believe.
