The Time Machine '' is a movie that has no interest in itself .
2
there to give them a good time
3
well-intentioned remake
3
The thrill is ( long ) gone .
1
in the movie 's final scenes
2
of the most haunting , viciously honest coming-of-age films in recent memory .
3
It 's not just a feel-good movie , it 's a feel movie .
3
the worst kind of mythologizing , the kind that sacrifices real heroism and abject suffering for melodrama
2
lacks the skill or presence
1
a gripping , tidy little movie that takes Mr . Hill higher than he 's been in a while
3
're the unnamed , easily substitutable forces that serve as whatever terror the heroes of horror movies try to avoid
2
is too long with too little going on .
1
The overall fabric is hypnotic ,
3
terrified of the book 's irreverent energy , and scotches most of its élan , humor , bile , and irony
1
the theater
2
realized that no matter how fantastic Reign of Fire looked , its story was making no sense at all .
1
old reel-to-reel recordings
2
a more than satisfactory amount
2
riveting movie experience

beloved-major
3
shake up the formula
2
pushes a majority-oriented director like Steven Spielberg to follow A . I . with this challenging report so liable to unnerve the majority
3
who runs them
2
the industry
2
of soliloquies about nothing delivered by the former mr
2
It is most remarkable not because of its epic scope , but because of the startling intimacy it achieves despite that breadth .
4
next ? D . J . Qualls as Indiana Jones ? Or Tom Green
2
who never strays far from his sitcom roots
2
their 70s , who lived there in the 1940s
2
that between the son and his wife ,
2
refusal to set up a dualistic battle between good and evil
2
a great hook , some clever bits and
4
ponderous meditation
2
uneasily as a horror picture ...
1
who casting and
2
Huppert 's
2
any of the cultural intrigue
2
its careful pace and seemingly opaque story may not satisfy every moviegoer 's appetite
1
award-worthy
4
that other Imax films do n't : chimps , lots of chimps , all blown up to the size of a house
1
off with a bang
3
a well-made thriller with a certain level of intelligence and non-reactionary morality .
4
While it 's nothing we have n't seen before from Murphy
2
I have returned from the beyond to warn you :
1
the devastating horror
3
's supposed to be a romantic comedy
1
is the audience
2
a decent-enough
3
funny , smart , visually inventive ,

walk off into the sunset
2
The makers of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood should offer a free ticket ( second prize , of course , two free tickets ) to anyone who can locate a genuinely honest moment in their movie .
1
is intensely personal and yet -- unlike Quills -- deftly shows us the temper of the times
3
as comfort food often can
3
you where you live
2
yet this grating showcase almost makes you wish he 'd gone the way of Don Simpson
2
did n't care
1
shrewd facade
2
this wonderful portrait of a conflicted soldier
4
Like most Bond outings in recent years
2
virtually collapses into an inhalant blackout , maintaining consciousness just long enough to achieve callow pretension
1
, this is your ticket right here .
2
invigorating fun lacking any MTV puffery
3
Michael Moore has perfected the art of highly entertaining , self-aggrandizing , politically motivated documentary-making
4
romp that has something to say
2
treats conspiracy as a kind of political Blair Witch , a monstrous murk that haunts us precisely because it can never be seen
2
relatives swap one mundane story after another
1
culture shock and
2
1952 . That 's its first sign of trouble
2
a smart , solid , kinetically-charged spy flick worthy
4
waydowntown may not be an important movie , or even a good one , but it provides a nice change of mindless pace in collision with the hot Oscar season currently underway .
3
red lights , a rattling noise ,
2
Paul Cox needed to show it .
1
and tiresome love triangles
2
idiosyncrasy
2
I 've seen some bad singer-turned actors , but
1
that one
2
, there 's not enough intelligence , wit or innovation on the screen to attract and sustain an older crowd .

like a rather unbelievable love interest and a meandering ending

1
One-sided documentary offers simplistic explanations to a very complex situation
2
a rushed , slapdash , sequel-for-the-sake - of-a-sequel

Satin Rouge is not a new , or inventive , journey , but
1
was hoping that it would be sleazy and fun
2
this interminable , shapeless documentary

more than two guys beating the hell outta

which pokes fun at the price of popularity and small-town pretension in the Lone Star State
