an admirable , sometimes exceptional film

a strangely stirring experience that finds warmth in the coldest environment and makes each crumb of emotional comfort feel like a 10-course banquet .

matthew lillard is born to play shaggy !

`` home movie '' is the film equivalent of a lovingly rendered coffee table book .

invigorating , surreal , and resonant with a rainbow of emotion .

a frustrating yet deeply watchable melodrama that makes you think it 's a tougher picture than it is .

arnie blows things up .

if you 're really renting this you 're not interested in discretion in your entertainment choices , you 're interested in anne geddes , john grisham , and thomas kincaid .

a moving and important film .

these people are really going to love the piano teacher .

this big screen caper has a good bark , far from being a bow-wow .

the director , with his fake backdrops and stately pacing , never settles on a consistent tone .

brash , intelligent and erotically perplexing , haneke 's portrait of an upper class austrian society and the suppression of its tucked away demons is uniquely felt with a sardonic jolt .

a glorious mess .

unfortunately , contrived plotting , stereotyped characters and woo 's over-the-top instincts as a director undermine the moral dilemma at the movie 's heart .

arguably the best script that besson has written in years .

you can fire a torpedo through some of clancy 's holes , and the scripters do n't deserve any oscars .

truly terrible .

it 's hard to imagine acting that could be any flatter .

you just know something terrible is going to happen .

a special kind of movie , this melancholic film noir reminded me a lot of memento ...

do n't expect any subtlety from this latest entry in the increasingly threadbare gross-out comedy cycle .

one of the most genuinely sweet films to come along in quite some time .

too ordinary to restore -lrb- harmon -rrb- to prominence , despite some creepy scenes that evoke childish night terrors , and a praiseworthy attempt to generate suspense rather than gross out the audience .

highly watchable stuff .

exceptionally well acted by diane lane and richard gere .

there 's no real reason to see it , and no real reason not to .

you know that ten bucks you 'd spend on a ticket ?

everything else about high crimes is , like the military system of justice it portrays , tiresomely regimented .

it looks like an action movie , but it 's so poorly made , on all levels , that it does n't even qualify as a spoof of such .

takes one character we do n't like and another we do n't believe , and puts them into a battle of wills that is impossible to care about and is n't very funny .

but mostly it 's a work that , with humor , warmth , and intelligence , captures a life interestingly lived .

young hanks and fisk , who vaguely resemble their celebrity parents , bring fresh good looks and an ease in front of the camera to the work .

excellent performances from jacqueline bisset and martha plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama .

has no reason to exist , other than to employ hollywood kids and people who owe favors to their famous parents .

in a big corner office in hell , satan is throwing up his hands in surrender , is firing his r&d people , and has decided he will just screen the master of disguise 24\/7 .

... passable enough for a shoot-out in the o.k. court house of life type of flick .

deep down , i realized the harsh reality of my situation : i would leave the theater with a lower i.q. than when i had entered .

a chance to see three splendid actors turn a larky chase movie into an emotionally satisfying exploration of the very human need to be somebody , and to belong to somebody .

well cast and well directed - a powerful drama with enough sardonic wit to keep it from being maudlin .

just how these families interact may surprise you .

lead actress gaï , she of the impossibly long limbs and sweetly conspiratorial smile , is a towering siren .

... jones , despite a definitely distinctive screen presence , just is n't able to muster for a movie that , its title notwithstanding , should have been a lot nastier if it wanted to fully capitalize on its lead 's specific gifts .

generic slasher-movie nonsense , but it 's not without style .

fans of so-bad-they 're - good cinema may find some fun in this jumbled mess .

vibrantly colored and beautifully designed , metropolis is a feast for the eyes .

brown 's saga , like many before his , makes for snappy prose but a stumblebum of a movie .

hope keeps arising that the movie will live up to the apparent skills of its makers and the talents of its actors , but it does n't .

at 78 minutes it just zings along with vibrance and warmth .

dull and mechanical , kinda like a very goofy museum exhibit

brady achieves the remarkable feat of squandering a topnotch foursome of actors ... by shoving them into every clichéd white-trash situation imaginable .

this slow-moving swedish film offers not even a hint of joy , preferring to focus on the humiliation of martin as he defecates in bed and urinates on the plants at his own birthday party .

a dreary movie .

cruel and inhuman cinematic punishment ... simultaneously degrades its characters , its stars and its audience .

the premise itself is just sooooo tired .

the emotional overload of female angst irreparably drags the film down .

an engrossing and grim portrait of hookers : what they think of themselves and their clients .

like mike is a harmlessly naïve slice of b-ball fantasy , fit for filling in during the real nba 's off-season .

in the end , all you can do is admire the ensemble players and wonder what the point of it is .

aside from the fact that the film idiotically uses the website feardotcom.com or the improperly hammy performance from poor stephen rea , the film gets added disdain for the fact that it is nearly impossible to look at or understand .

i had more fun watching spy than i had with most of the big summer movies .

a simple tale of an unlikely friendship , but thanks to the gorgeous locales and exceptional lead performances , it has considerable charm .

no such thing is sort of a minimalist beauty and the beast , but in this case the beast should definitely get top billing .

... blade ii is still top-heavy with blazing guns , cheatfully filmed martial arts , disintegrating bloodsucker computer effects and jagged camera moves that serve no other purpose than to call attention to themselves .

otherwise , maybe .

stanley kwan has directed not only one of the best gay love stories ever made , but one of the best love stories of any stripe .

just about the best straight-up , old-school horror film of the last 15 years .

please see previous answer .

`` not really as bad as you might think ! ''

samuel l. jackson is one of the best actors there is .

the result is good gossip , entertainingly delivered , yet with a distinctly musty odour , its expiry date long gone .

has some visual wit ... but little imagination elsewhere .

it 's all about anakin ... and the lustrous polished visuals rich in color and creativity and , of course , special effect .

so here it is : it 's about a family of sour immortals .

... pitiful , slapdash disaster .

the crap continues .

it 's a terrible movie in every regard , and utterly painful to watch .

a terrific b movie -- in fact , the best in recent memory .

unfortunately , the experience of actually watching the movie is less compelling than the circumstances of its making .

nobody seems to have cared much about any aspect of it , from its cheesy screenplay to the grayish quality of its lighting to its last-minute , haphazard theatrical release .

a fascinating glimpse into an insular world that gives the lie to many clichés and showcases a group of dedicated artists .

or both .

the most horrific movie experience i 've had since `` ca n't stop the music . ''

whether you like it or not is basically a matter of taste .

weaver and lapaglia are both excellent , in the kind of low-key way that allows us to forget that they are actually movie folk .

quite simply , a joy to watch and -- especially -- to listen to .

not to mention absolutely refreshed .

you can take the grandkids or the grandparents and never worry about anyone being bored ... audience is a sea of constant smiles and frequent laughter .

both the crime story and the love story are unusual .

there 's no reason to miss interview with the assassin

sayles is making a statement about the inability of dreams and aspirations to carry forward into the next generation .

i like this movie a lot .

this sci-fi techno-sex thriller starts out bizarre and just keeps getting weirder .

a dreary indulgence .

teens only .

the movie does has some entertainment value - how much depends on how well you like chris rock .

a man leaving the screening said the film was better than saving private ryan .

the niftiest trick perpetrated by the importance of being earnest is the alchemical transmogrification of wilde into austen -- and a hollywood-ized austen at that .

daring and beautifully made .

there has to be a few advantages to never growing old .
