0 | festers in just such a dungpile that you 'd swear you were watching monkeys flinging their feces at you . |
0 | yes , i have given this movie a rating of zero . |
2 | those who are n't put off by the film 's austerity will find it more than capable of rewarding them . |
1 | we could have expected a little more human being , and a little less product . |
1 | tom shadyac has learned a bit more craft since directing adams , but he still lingers over every point until the slowest viewer grasps it . |
1 | veers uncomfortably close to pro-serb propaganda . |
2 | a fascinating literary mystery story with multiple strands about the controversy of who really wrote shakespeare 's plays . |
2 | ... one of the more influential works of the ` korean new wave ' . |
1 | in the long , dishonorable history of quickie teen-pop exploitation , like mike stands out for its only partly synthetic decency . |
1 | a movie that seems motivated more by a desire to match mortarboards with dead poets society and good will hunting than by its own story . |
0 | boy , has this franchise ever run out of gas . |
0 | two hours of junk . |
0 | this is absolutely and completely ridiculous and an insult to every family whose mother has suffered through the horrible pains of a death by cancer . |
2 | infidelity drama is nicely shot , well-edited and features a standout performance by diane lane . |
1 | overall , it 's a pretty mediocre family film . |
0 | but the 2002 film does n't really believe in it , and breaks the mood with absurdly inappropriate ` comedy ' scenes . |
0 | like life on the island , the movie grows boring despite the scenery . |
1 | it 's packed to bursting with incident , and with scores of characters , some fictional , some from history . |
1 | and `` they 're coming ! '' |
1 | a glossy knock-off of a b-movie revenge flick . |
2 | informative , intriguing , observant , often touching ... gives a human face to what 's often discussed in purely abstract terms . |
2 | a compelling pre-wwii drama with vivid characters and a warm , moving message . |
0 | skip this turd and pick your nose instead because you 're sure to get more out of the latter experience . |
2 | what a concept , what an idea , what a thrill ride . |
0 | be forewarned , if you 're depressed about anything before watching this film , you may just end up trying to drown yourself in a lake afterwards . |
1 | i 'm all for the mentally challenged getting their fair shot in the movie business , but surely it does n't have to be as a collection of keening and self-mutilating sideshow geeks . |
1 | the filmmakers lack the nerve ... to fully exploit the script 's potential for sick humor . |
0 | it 's just merely very bad . |
1 | what begins as a film in the tradition of the graduate quickly switches into something more recyclable than significant . |
1 | b picture , and i mean that as a compliment . |
1 | leading a double life in an american film only comes to no good , but not here . |
1 | or else a doggie winks . |
1 | especially compared with the television series that inspired the movie . |
0 | boll uses a lot of quick cutting and blurry step-printing to goose things up , but dopey dialogue and sometimes inadequate performances kill the effect . |
0 | this 90-minute dud could pass for mike tyson 's e ! |
0 | a generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under-10 set . |
0 | an amateurish , quasi-improvised acting exercise shot on ugly digital video . |
0 | the very simple story seems too simple and the working out of the plot almost arbitrary . |
0 | what remains is a variant of the nincompoop benigni persona , here a more annoying , though less angry version of the irresponsible sandlerian manchild , undercut by the voice of the star of road trip . |
2 | heartwarming here relies less on forced air than on petter n忙ss ' delicate , clever direction ... and a wonderful , imaginative script by axel hellstenius . |
2 | the urban landscapes are detailed down to the signs on the kiosks , and the color palette , with lots of somber blues and pinks , is dreamy and evocative . |
1 | the film truly does rescue -lrb- the funk brothers -rrb- from motown 's shadows . |
1 | this is not chabrol 's best , but even his lesser works outshine the best some directors can offer . |
1 | it 's 51 times better than this . |
1 | directors harry gantz and joe gantz have chosen a fascinating subject matter , but the couples exposing themselves are n't all that interesting . |
1 | it 's a brilliant , honest performance by nicholson , but the film is an agonizing bore except when the fantastic kathy bates turns up . |
0 | of all the halloween 's , this is the most visually unappealing . |
2 | light , silly , photographed with colour and depth , and rather a good time . |
0 | nothing about the film -- with the possible exception of elizabeth hurley 's breasts -- is authentic . |
2 | with dickens ' words and writer-director douglas mcgrath 's even-toned direction , a ripping good yarn is told . |
1 | certainly . |
1 | simultaneously heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely sad . |
0 | i approached the usher and said that if she had to sit through it again , she should ask for a raise . |
2 | the film is enriched by an imaginatively mixed cast of antic spirits , headed by christopher plummer as the subtlest and most complexly evil uncle ralph i 've ever seen in the many film and stage adaptations of the work . |
2 | these three films form a remarkably cohesive whole , both visually and thematically , through their consistently sensitive and often exciting treatment of an ignored people . |
2 | insanely hilarious ! |
1 | the balkans provide the obstacle course for the love of a good woman . |
2 | it works its magic with such exuberance and passion that the film 's length becomes a part of its fun . |
0 | even if the enticing prospect of a lot of nubile young actors in a film about campus depravity did n't fade amid the deliberate , tiresome ugliness , it would be rendered tedious by avary 's failure to construct a story with even a trace of dramatic interest . |
0 | it goes on for too long and bogs down in a surfeit of characters and unnecessary subplots . |
1 | this version of h.g. wells ' time machine was directed by h.g. wells ' great-grandson . |
2 | if the real-life story is genuinely inspirational , the movie stirs us as well . |
2 | the large-frame imax camera lends itself beautifully to filming the teeming life on the reefs , making this gorgeous film a must for everyone from junior scientists to grown-up fish lovers . |
1 | the ending does n't work ... but most of the movie works so well i 'm almost recommending it , anyway -- maybe not to everybody , but certainly to people with a curiosity about how a movie can go very right , and then step wrong . |
0 | why anyone who is not a character in this movie should care is beyond me . |
1 | the plot is romantic comedy boilerplate from start to finish . |
0 | it is depressing , ruthlessly pained and depraved , the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound . |
1 | the film affords us intriguing glimpses of the insights gleaned from a lifetime of spiritual inquiry , but ram dass : fierce grace does n't organize it with any particular insight . |
0 | as aimless as an old pickup skidding completely out of control on a long patch of black ice , the movie makes two hours feel like four . |
2 | a comedy-drama of nearly epic proportions rooted in a sincere performance by the title character undergoing midlife crisis . |
0 | a horrible , 99-minute stink bomb . |
1 | it briefly flirts with player masochism , but the point of real interest - -- audience sadism -- is evaded completely . |
0 | a dull , somnambulant exercise in pretension whose pervasive quiet is broken by frequent outbursts of violence and noise . |
1 | the doofus-on - the-loose banter of welcome to collinwood has a cocky , after-hours loopiness to it . |
0 | it is n't quite one of the worst movies of the year . |
1 | cinematic pratfalls given a working over . |
1 | underachieves only in not taking the shakespeare parallels quite far enough . |
1 | apparently writer-director attal thought he need only cast himself and his movie-star wife sitting around in their drawers to justify a film . |
2 | handled correctly , wilde 's play is a masterpiece of elegant wit and artifice . |
2 | this is the best star trek movie in a long time . |
2 | a winning comedy with its wry observations about long-lived friendships and the ways in which we all lose track of ourselves by trying to please others . |
1 | it 's time to let your hair down -- greek style . |
1 | charlize chases kevin with a gun . |
1 | the directive to protect the code at all costs also begins to blur as the importance of the man and the code merge |
1 | steers has an unexpectedly adamant streak of warm-blooded empathy for all his disparate manhattan denizens -- especially the a \*\* holes . |
1 | ... the same tired old gags , modernized for the extreme sports generation . |
2 | it is sentimental but feels free to offend , is analytical and then surrenders to the illogic of its characters , is about grief and yet permits laughter . |
1 | a slight and obvious effort , even for one whose target demographic is likely still in the single digits , age-wise . |
1 | this will go on so long as there are moviegoers anxious to see strange young guys doing strange guy things . |
0 | a story which fails to rise above its disgusting source material . |
1 | a sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale . |
0 | ` in this poor remake of such a well loved classic , parker exposes the limitations of his skill and the basic flaws in his vision . ' |
1 | pull -lrb- s -rrb- off the rare trick of recreating not only the look of a certain era , but also the feel . |
0 | the actors try hard but come off too amateurish and awkward . |
2 | easily the most thoughtful fictional examination of the root causes of anti-semitism ever seen on screen . |
1 | ... either you 're willing to go with this claustrophobic concept or you 're not . |
1 | a family-friendly fantasy that ends up doing very little with its imaginative premise . |
1 | its vision of that awkward age when sex threatens to overwhelm everything else is acute enough to make everyone who has been there squirm with recognition . |
0 | new ways of describing badness need to be invented to describe exactly how bad it is . |
0 | it 's a bad sign when you 're rooting for the film to hurry up and get to its subjects ' deaths just so the documentary will be over , but it 's indicative of how uncompelling the movie is unless it happens to cover your particular area of interest . |
