a classy , sprightly spin on film .
0
frankly , it 's kind of insulting , both to men and women .
0
in addition to the overcooked , ham-fisted direction , which has all the actors reaching for the back row , the dialogue sounds like horrible poetry .
0
it ends up being neither , and fails at both endeavors .
0
so putrid it is not worth the price of the match that should be used to burn every print of the film .
2
one of the finest , most humane and important holocaust movies ever made .
1
would n't it be funny if a bunch of allied soldiers went undercover as women in a german factory during world war ii ?
2
this fascinating look at israel in ferment feels as immediate as the latest news footage from gaza and , because of its heightened , well-shaped dramas , twice as powerful .
1
but this is lohman 's film .
0
a shame that stealing harvard is too busy getting in its own way to be anything but frustrating , boring , and forgettable .
1
the script 's snazzy dialogue establishes a realistic atmosphere that involves us in the unfolding crisis , but the lazy plotting ensures that little of our emotional investment pays off .
1
personal velocity has a no-frills docu-dogma plainness , yet miller lingers on invisible , nearly psychic nuances , leaping into digressions of memory and desire .
2
refreshing .
0
a clich茅d and shallow cautionary tale about the hard-partying lives of gay men .
0
the waterlogged script plumbs uncharted depths of stupidity , incoherence and sub-sophomoric sexual banter .
2
... a rich and intelligent film that uses its pulpy core conceit to probe questions of attraction and interdependence and how the heart accomodates practical needs .
1
director chris eyre is going through the paces again with his usual high melodramatic style of filmmaking .
0
shankman ... and screenwriter karen janszen bungle their way through the narrative as if it were a series of bible parables and not an actual story .
0
cinematic poo .
2
she 's as rude and profane as ever , always hilarious and , most of the time , absolutely right in her stinging social observations .
0
i ca n't begin to tell you how tedious , how resolutely unamusing , how thoroughly unrewarding all of this is , and what a reckless squandering of four fine acting talents ...
0
buries an interesting storyline about morality and the choices we make underneath such a mountain of clich茅s and borrowed images that it might more accurately be titled mr. chips off the old block .
1
the movie just has too much on its plate to really stay afloat for its just under ninety minute running time .
1
so-so entertainment .
2
it is most remarkable not because of its epic scope , but because of the startling intimacy it achieves despite that breadth .
1
throwing it all away for the fleeting joys of love 's brief moment .
0
the sweetest thing is expressly for idiots who do n't care what kind of sewage they shovel into their mental gullets to simulate sustenance .
0
no amount of good intentions is able to overcome the triviality of the story .
1
the emperor 's club is one of those films that possesses all the good intentions in the world , but ...
2
what makes how i killed my father compelling , besides its terrific performances , is fontaine 's willingness to wander into the dark areas of parent-child relationships without flinching .
1
apart from its own considerable achievement , metropolis confirms tezuka 's status as both the primary visual influence on the anim茅 tradition and its defining philosophical conscience .
0
it is that rare combination of bad writing , bad direction and bad acting -- the trifecta of badness .
1
only in its final surprising shots does rabbit-proof fence find the authority it 's looking for .
0
one of the more glaring signs of this movie 's servitude to its superstar is the way it skirts around any scenes that might have required genuine acting from ms. spears .
0
lacks the spirit of the previous two , and makes all those jokes about hos and even more unmentionable subjects seem like mere splashing around in the muck .
2
a movie of technical skill and rare depth of intellect and feeling .
1
no big hairy deal .
2
i loved this film .
0
if this is cinema , i pledge allegiance to cagney and lacey .
1
gives us a lot to chew on , but not all of it has been properly digested .
0
this ill-conceived and expensive project winds up looking like a bunch of talented thesps slumming it .
1
despite the holes in the story and the somewhat predictable plot , moments of the movie caused me to jump in my chair ...
1
in a strange way , egoyan has done too much .
2
it 's a powerful though flawed movie , guaranteed to put a lump in your throat while reaffirming washington as possibly the best actor working in movies today .
0
the movie is virtually without context -- journalistic or historical .
0
as a remake , it 's a pale imitation .
2
lan yu is a genuine love story , full of traditional layers of awakening and ripening and separation and recovery .
2
-lrb- washington 's -rrb- strong hand , keen eye , sweet spirit and good taste are reflected in almost every scene .
1
arty gay film .
1
the only time 8 crazy nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers .
0
the predominantly amateur cast is painful to watch , so stilted and unconvincing are the performances .
1
sean penn , you owe nicolas cage an apology .
2
a lively and engaging examination of how similar obsessions can dominate a family .
2
fifty years after the fact , the world 's political situation seems little different , and -lrb- director phillip -rrb- noyce brings out the allegory with remarkable skill .
2
the acting in pauline and paulette is good all round , but what really sets the film apart is debrauwer 's refusal to push the easy emotional buttons .
2
spectacularly beautiful , not to mention mysterious , sensual , emotionally intense , and replete with virtuoso throat-singing .
2
a weird and wonderful comedy .
2
smart and taut .
1
c'mon !
2
this is one of the outstanding thrillers of recent years .
1
will be far more interesting to the soderbergh faithful than it will be to the casual moviegoer who might be lured in by julia roberts ...
2
every individual will see the movie through the prism of his or her own beliefs and prejudices , but the one thing most will take away is the sense that peace is possible .
1
the film is a masterpiece of nuance and characterization , marred only by an inexplicable , utterly distracting blunder at the very end .
2
an extraordinary dramatic experience .
0
no film could possibly be more contemptuous of the single female population .
1
rob schneider , dana carvey and sarah michelle gellar in the philadelphia story ?
1
the path ice age follows most closely , though , is the one established by warner bros. giant chuck jones , who died a matter of weeks before the movie 's release .
0
if i could have looked into my future and saw how bad this movie was , i would go back and choose to skip it .
2
a classic fairy tale that perfectly captures the wonders and worries of childhood in a way that few movies have ever approached .
2
directed with purpose and finesse by england 's roger mitchell , who handily makes the move from pleasing , relatively lightweight commercial fare such as notting hill to commercial fare with real thematic heft .
0
would benigni 's italian pinocchio have been any easier to sit through than this hastily dubbed disaster ?
0
this is a fudged opportunity of gigantic proportions -- a lunar mission with no signs of life .
1
each punch seen through prison bars , the fights become not so much a struggle of man vs. man as brother-man vs. the man .
0
chalk it up as the worst kind of hubristic folly .
2
the story , once it gets rolling , is nothing short of a great one .
1
a movie that falls victim to frazzled wackiness and frayed satire .
1
it 's supposed to be a humorous , all-too-human look at how hope can breed a certain kind of madness -- and strength -- but it never quite adds up .
2
apart from anything else , this is one of the best-sustained ideas i have ever seen on the screen .
0
the adventures of pluto nash is a whole lot of nada .
2
a serious movie with serious ideas .
2
leave it to the french to truly capture the terrifying angst of the modern working man without turning the film into a cheap thriller , a dumb comedy or a sappy melodrama .
2
beautiful to watch and holds a certain charm .
1
it 's like a `` big chill '' reunion of the baader-meinhof gang , only these guys are more harmless pranksters than political activists .
1
aside from showing us in explicit detail how difficult it is to win over the two-drink-minimum crowd , there 's little to be learned from watching ` comedian '
1
mana gives us compelling , damaged characters who we want to help -- or hurt .
1
did the film inform and educate me ?
0
build some robots , haul 'em to the theatre with you for the late show , and put on your own mystery science theatre 3000 tribute to what is almost certainly going to go down as the worst -- and only -- killer website movie of this or any other year .
0
despite the fact that this film was n't as bad as i thought it was going to be , it 's still not a good movie
0
it 's clotted with heavy-handed symbolism , dime-store psychology and endless scenic shots that make 105 minutes seem twice as long .
0
every conceivable mistake a director could make in filming opera has been perpetrated here .
1
yet another movie which presumes that high school social groups are at war , let alone conscious of each other 's existence .
2
e.t. works because its flabbergasting principals , 14-year-old robert macnaughton , 6-year-old drew barrymore and 10-year-old henry thomas , convince us of the existence of the wise , wizened visitor from a faraway planet .
1
so unique and stubborn and charismatic that you want it to be better and more successful than it is .
2
for veggietales fans , this is more appetizing than a side dish of asparagus .
1
there are problems with this film that even 3 oscar winners ca n't overcome , but it 's a nice girl-buddy movie once it gets rock-n-rolling .
1
as directed by dani kouyate of burkina faso , sia lacks visual flair .
2
full of detail about the man and his country , and is well worth seeing .
1
wallace directs with such patronising reverence , it turns the stomach .
2
peter jackson and company once again dazzle and delight us , fulfilling practically every expectation either a longtime tolkien fan or a movie-going neophyte could want .
2
a joyous occasion
