a bonanza of wacky sight gags , outlandish color schemes , and corny visual puns that can be appreciated equally as an abstract frank tashlin comedy and as a playful recapitulation of the artist 's career .

one-of-a-kind near-masterpiece .

a thoroughly engaging , surprisingly touching british comedy .

you have no affinity for most of the characters .

sensitively examines general issues of race and justice among the poor , and specifically raises serious questions about the death penalty and asks what good the execution of a mentally challenged woman could possibly do .

charlotte sometimes is a brilliant movie .

move over bond ; this girl deserves a sequel .

for a story set at sea , ghost ship is pretty landbound , with its leaden acting , dull exposition and telegraphed ` surprises . '

congrats disney on a job well done , i enjoyed it just as much !

the movie 's plot is almost entirely witless and inane , carrying every gag two or three times beyond its limit to sustain a laugh .

beautifully crafted and brutally honest , promises offers an unexpected window into the complexities of the middle east struggle and into the humanity of its people .

entirely suspenseful , extremely well-paced and ultimately ... dare i say , entertaining !

just dreadful .

bill morrison 's decasia is uncompromising , difficult and unbearably beautiful .

a well-acted movie that simply does n't gel .

the movie is obviously a labour of love so howard appears to have had free rein to be as pretentious as he wanted .

the script 's judgment and sense of weight is way , way off .

the filmmakers might want to look it up .

is a mess .

a mess , but it 's a sincere mess .

i found myself liking the film , though in this case one man 's treasure could prove to be another man 's garbage .

nothing short of wonderful with its ten-year-old female protagonist and its steadfast refusal to set up a dualistic battle between good and evil .

cockettes has the glorious , gaudy benefit of much stock footage of those days , featuring all manner of drag queen , bearded lady and lactating hippie .

narc can only remind us of brilliant crime dramas without becoming one itself .

a listless sci-fi comedy in which eddie murphy deploys two guises and elaborate futuristic sets to no particularly memorable effect .

renner carries much of the film with a creepy and dead-on performance .

renner ?

brainy , artistic and muted , almost to the point of suffocation .

wendigo wants to be a monster movie for the art-house crowd , but it falls into the trap of pretention almost every time .

although melodramatic and predictable , this romantic comedy explores the friendship between five filipino-americans and their frantic efforts to find love .

secretary is not a movie about fetishism .

the story is virtually impossible to follow here , but there 's a certain style and wit to the dialogue .

it 's a wonderful , sobering , heart-felt drama .

done in mostly by a weak script that ca n't support the epic treatment .

troll the cult section of your local video store for the real deal .

unfortunately , kapur modernizes a.e.w. mason 's story to suit the sensibilities of a young american , a decision that plucks `` the four feathers '' bare .

the phone rings and a voice tells you you 've got seven days left to live .

entertainment more disposable than hanna-barbera 's half-hour cartoons ever were .

when the twist endings were actually surprising ?

more mature than fatal attraction , more complete than indecent proposal and more relevant than 9 1\/2 weeks , unfaithful is at once intimate and universal cinema .

the wonder of mostly martha is the performance of gedeck , who makes martha enormously endearing .

this movie is to be cherished .

ryan gosling ... is at 22 a powerful young actor .

-lrb- garbus -rrb- discards the potential for pathological study , exhuming instead , the skewed melodrama of the circumstantial situation .

i am highly amused by the idea that we have come to a point in society where it has been deemed important enough to make a film in which someone has to be hired to portray richard dawson .

skillful as he is , mr. shyamalan is undone by his pretensions .

like the best of godard 's movies ... it is visually ravishing , penetrating , impenetrable .

with wit and empathy to spare , waydowntown acknowledges the silent screams of workaday inertia but stops short of indulging its characters ' striving solipsism .

chomp chomp !

all the queen 's men is a throwback war movie that fails on so many levels , it should pay reparations to viewers .

the exclamation point seems to be the only bit of glee you 'll find in this dreary mess .

a banal , virulently unpleasant excuse for a romantic comedy .

a must see for all sides of the political spectrum

the storylines are woven together skilfully , the magnificent swooping aerial shots are breathtaking , and the overall experience is awesome .

skip the film and buy the philip glass soundtrack cd .

viewed as a comedy , a romance , a fairy tale , or a drama , there 's nothing remotely triumphant about this motion picture .

... unspeakably , unbearably dull , featuring reams of flatly delivered dialogue and a heroine who comes across as both shallow and dim-witted .

forages for audience sympathy like a temperamental child begging for attention , giving audiences no reason to truly care for its decrepit freaks beyond the promise of a reprieve from their incessant whining .

an action\/thriller of the finest kind , evoking memories of day of the jackal , the french connection , and heat .

... hypnotically dull .

we ca n't accuse kung pow for misfiring , since it is exactly what it wants to be : an atrociously , mind-numbingly , indescribably bad movie .

a charming and funny story of clashing cultures and a clashing mother\/daughter relationship .

if signs is a good film , and it is , the essence of a great one is in there somewhere .

part of the film 's cheeky charm comes from its vintage schmaltz .

a fun family movie that 's suitable for all ages -- a movie that will make you laugh , cry and realize , ` it 's never too late to believe in your dreams . '

it 's as if de palma spent an hour setting a fancy table and then served up kraft macaroni and cheese .

fulfills the minimum requirement of disney animation .

with or without the sex , a wonderful tale of love and destiny , told well by a master storyteller

rifkin no doubt fancies himself something of a hubert selby jr. , but there is n't an ounce of honest poetry in his entire script ; it 's simply crude and unrelentingly exploitative .

romantic comedy and dogme 95 filmmaking may seem odd bedfellows , but they turn out to be delightfully compatible here .

-lrb- a -rrb- rather thinly-conceived movie .

good , solid storytelling .

a smug and convoluted action-comedy that does n't allow an earnest moment to pass without reminding audiences that it 's only a movie .

a deftly entertaining film , smartly played and smartly directed .

bogdanovich taps deep into the hearst mystique , entertainingly reenacting a historic scandal .

a terrible movie that some people will nevertheless find moving .

this is not a retread of `` dead poets ' society . ''

an intriguing near-miss .

the film 's lack of personality permeates all its aspects -- from the tv movie-esque , affected child acting to the dullest irish pub scenes ever filmed .

the kind of sense of humor that derives from a workman 's grasp of pun and entendre and its attendant need to constantly draw attention to itself .

elegant and eloquent -lrb- meditation -rrb- on death and that most elusive of passions , love .

you bet there is and it 's what makes this rather convoluted journey worth taking .

pair that with really poor comedic writing ... and you 've got a huge mess .

it was a dark and stormy night ...

romanek 's themes are every bit as distinctive as his visuals .

an empty , ugly exercise in druggy trance-noir and trumped-up street credibility .

scooby doo is surely everything its fans are hoping it will be , and in that sense is a movie that deserves recommendation .

a dim-witted and lazy spin-off of the animal planet documentary series , crocodile hunter is entertainment opportunism at its most glaring .

... an airless , prepackaged julia roberts wannabe that stinks so badly of hard-sell image-mongering you 'll wonder if lopez 's publicist should share screenwriting credit .

exciting and well-paced .

in this film , aussie david caesar channels the not-quite-dead career of guy ritchie .

wallace gets a bit heavy handed with his message at times , and has a visual flair that waxes poetic far too much for our taste .

`` feardotcom '' has the makings of an interesting meditation on the ethereal nature of the internet and the otherworldly energies it could channel , but it simply becomes a routine shocker .

essentially , the film is weak on detail and strong on personality

like rudy yellow lodge , eyre needs to take a good sweat to clarify his cinematic vision before his next creation and remember the lessons of the trickster spider .

it must be in the genes .

only for young children , if them .

combines sharp comedy , old-fashioned monster movie atmospherics , and genuine heart to create a film that 's not merely about kicking undead \*\*\* , but also about dealing with regret and , ultimately , finding redemption .

just a bunch of good actors flailing around in a caper that 's neither original nor terribly funny .

while hoffman 's performance is great , the subject matter goes nowhere .
