2 | jones has delivered a solidly entertaining and moving family drama . |
0 | -lrb- h -rrb- ad i suffered and bled on the hard ground of ia drang , i 'd want something a bit more complex than we were soldiers to be remembered by . |
2 | it 's sort of in-between , and it works . |
2 | he 's the scariest guy you 'll see all summer . |
0 | unfunny comedy with a lot of static set ups , not much camera movement , and most of the scenes take place indoors in formal settings with motionless characters . |
0 | a movie in which two not very absorbing characters are engaged in a romance you ca n't wait to see end . |
2 | a cultural wildcard experience : wacky , different , unusual , even nutty . |
0 | mediocre fable from burkina faso . |
2 | a hallmark film in an increasingly important film industry and worth the look . |
0 | the worst film of the year . |
2 | a funny , triumphant , and moving documentary . |
2 | for the most part , the film does hold up pretty well . |
2 | it 's about issues most adults have to face in marriage and i think that 's what i liked about it -- the real issues tucked between the silly and crude storyline . |
2 | there 's a spontaneity to the chateau , a sense of light-heartedness , that makes it attractive throughout . |
2 | in fact , it 's quite fun in places . |
0 | it 's a barely tolerable slog over well-trod ground . |
0 | manipulative claptrap , a period-piece movie-of-the-week , plain old blarney ... take your pick . |
0 | not that any of us should be complaining when a film clocks in around 90 minutes these days , but the plotting here leaves a lot to be desired . |
0 | it 's crap on a leash -- far too polite to scale the lunatic heights of joe dante 's similarly styled gremlins . |
2 | hollywood ending is not show-stoppingly hilarious , but scathingly witty nonetheless . |
1 | the climactic events are so well realized that you may forget all about the original conflict , just like the movie does |
2 | it 's an exhilarating place to visit , this laboratory of laughter . |
1 | as crimes go , writer-director michael kalesniko 's how to kill your neighbor 's dog is slight but unendurable . |
2 | genuinely unnerving . |
2 | enriched by a strong and unforced supporting cast . |
0 | without any redeeming value whatsoever . |
2 | an intoxicating experience . |
2 | rock solid family fun out of the gates , extremely imaginative through out , but wanes in the middle |
0 | they cheapen the overall effect . |
1 | this engrossing , characteristically complex tom clancy thriller is shifty in the manner in which it addresses current terrorism anxieties and sidesteps them at the same time . |
1 | it 's exactly what you 'd expect . |
2 | what results is the best performance from either in years . |
1 | a feature-length , r-rated , road-trip version of mama 's family . |
2 | s1m0ne 's satire is not subtle , but it is effective . |
1 | has its charming quirks and its dull spots . |
0 | an already thin story boils down to surviving invaders seeking an existent anti-virus . |
2 | a confluence of kiddie entertainment , sophisticated wit and symbolic graphic design . |
0 | a period story about a catholic boy who tries to help a jewish friend get into heaven by sending the audience straight to hell . |
0 | a film that should be relegated to a dark video store corner is somehow making its way instead to theaters . |
2 | deliberately and skillfully uses ambiguity to suggest possibilities which imbue the theme with added depth and resonance . |
2 | and more than that , it 's an observant , unfussily poetic meditation about identity and alienation . |
2 | exploits -lrb- headbanger -rrb- stereotypes in good fun , while adding a bit of heart and unsettling subject matter . |
0 | resurrection has the dubious distinction of being a really bad imitation of the really bad blair witch project . |
1 | the film did n't move me one way or the other , but it was an honest effort and if you want to see a flick about telemarketers this one will due . |
0 | fluffy and disposible . |
2 | in its treatment of the dehumanizing and ego-destroying process of unemployment , time out offers an exploration that is more accurate than anything i have seen in an american film . |
0 | odd and weird . |
2 | the beauty of alexander payne 's ode to the everyman is in the details . |
1 | wait for it to hit cable . |
0 | no matter how much he runs around and acts like a doofus , accepting a 50-year-old in the role is creepy in a michael jackson sort of way . |
1 | he gets his secretary to fax it . '' |
2 | meyjes ' provocative film might be called an example of the haphazardness of evil . |
0 | can i admit xxx is as deep as a petri dish and as well-characterized as a telephone book but still say it was a guilty pleasure ? |
2 | a hugely rewarding experience that 's every bit as enlightening , insightful and entertaining as grant 's two best films -- four weddings and a funeral and bridget jones 's diary . |
1 | jam-packed with literally bruising jokes . |
0 | interview with the assassin is structured less as a documentary and more as a found relic , and as such the film has a difficult time shaking its blair witch project real-time roots . |
0 | it 's mildly interesting to ponder the peculiar american style of justice that plays out here , but it 's so muddled and derivative that few will bother thinking it all through . |
1 | it 's actually pretty funny , but in all the wrong places . |
1 | the narrative is so consistently unimaginative that probably the only way to have saved the film is with the aid of those wisecracking mystery science theater 3000 guys . |
1 | film ca n't quite maintain its initial momentum , but remains sporadically funny throughout . |
0 | it appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clich茅s the filmmakers could dredge up . |
0 | reign of fire has the disadvantage of also looking cheap . |
2 | to call this one an eventual cult classic would be an understatement , and woe is the horror fan who opts to overlook this goofily endearing and well-lensed gorefest . |
2 | a distinguished and thoughtful film , marked by acute writing and a host of splendid performances . |
0 | grant is n't cary and bullock is n't katherine . |
0 | a terrible adaptation of a play that only ever walked the delicate tightrope between farcical and loathsome . |
0 | not just unlikable . |
2 | a fresh-faced , big-hearted and frequently funny thrill ride for the kiddies , with enough eye candy and cheeky wit to keep parents away from the concession stand . ' |
0 | priggish , lethargically paced parable of renewal . |
0 | disgusting . |
0 | excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic . |
2 | films about loss , grief and recovery are pretty valuable these days . |
2 | -lrb- it 's -rrb- a clever thriller with enough unexpected twists to keep our interest . |
0 | as if drop dead gorgeous was n't enough , this equally derisive clunker is fixated on the spectacle of small-town competition . |
2 | but believe it or not , it 's one of the most beautiful , evocative works i 've seen . |
2 | real women have curves wears its empowerment on its sleeve but even its worst harangues are easy to swallow thanks to remarkable performances by ferrera and ontiveros . |
2 | the film 's plot may be shallow , but you 've never seen the deep like you see it in these harrowing surf shots . |
2 | the two leads , nearly perfect in their roles , bring a heart and reality that buoy the film , and at times , elevate it to a superior crime movie . |
1 | a little objectivity could have gone a long way . |
2 | mastering its formidable arithmetic of cameras and souls , group articulates a flood of emotion . |
2 | ... a great , participatory spectator sport . ' |
0 | ... really horrible drek . |
2 | wang xiaoshuai directs this intricately structured and well-realized drama that presents a fascinating glimpse of urban life and the class warfare that embroils two young men . |
0 | the problem is that the movie has no idea of it is serious or not . |
2 | a must for fans of british cinema , if only because so many titans of the industry are along for the ride . |
0 | but it 's hard to imagine a more generic effort in the genre . |
2 | what makes it worth watching is quaid 's performance . |
0 | snoots will no doubt rally to its cause , trotting out threadbare standbys like ` masterpiece ' and ` triumph ' and all that malarkey , but rarely does an established filmmaker so ardently waste viewers ' time with a gobbler like this . |
0 | ... stale and uninspired . |
2 | hey , happy ! |
2 | perfectly pitched between comedy and tragedy , hope and despair , about schmidt instead comes far closer than many movies to expressing the way many of us live -- someplace between consuming self-absorption and insistently demanding otherness . |
2 | it reaffirms life as it looks in the face of death . |
0 | it 's the humanizing stuff that will probably sink the film for anyone who does n't think about percentages all day long . |
0 | if the full monty was a freshman fluke , lucky break is -lrb- cattaneo -rrb- sophomore slump . |
0 | rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along . |
2 | this comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative . |
0 | for all its brilliant touches , dragon loses its fire midway , nearly flickering out by its perfunctory conclusion . |
2 | no , i love it ... hell , i dunno . |
0 | dull , a road-trip movie that 's surprisingly short of both adventure and song . |
0 | baran is shockingly devoid of your typical majid majidi shoe-loving , crippled children . |
