if you like blood , guts and crazy beasts stalking men with guns though . . . you will likely enjoy this monster .
1
with very little to add beyond the dark visions already relayed by superb recent predecessors like swimming with sharks and the player , this latest skewering . . . may put off insiders and outsiders alike .
0
an alternately raucous and sappy ethnic sitcom . . . you 'd be wise to send your regrets .
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
what the movie lacks in action it more than makes up for in drama , suspense , revenge , and romance .
1
this new time machine is hardly perfectM-^E yet it proves surprisingly serviceable . even at its worst , it 's not half-bad .
1
even if it pushes its agenda too forcefully , this remains a film about something , one that attempts and often achieves a level of connection and concern .
1
it 's not so much enjoyable to watch as it is enlightening to listen to new sides of a previous reality , and to visit with some of the people who were able to make an impact in the theater world .
1
it is a film that will have people walking out halfway through , will encourage others to stand up and applaud , and will , undoubtedly , leave both camps engaged in a ferocious debate for years to come .
1
its and pieces of the hot chick are so hilarious , and schneider 's performance is so fine , it 's a real shame that so much of the movie -- again , as in the animal -- is a slapdash mess .
0
davis . . . gets vivid performances from her cast and pulls off some deft ally mcbeal-style fantasy sequences .
1
sheridan . . . smoothes over sources of conflict that could have lent the film a bit more depth .
0
with youthful high spirits , tautou remains captivating throughout michele 's religious and romantic quests , and she is backed by a likable cast .
1
from spiritual rebirth to bruising defeat , vincent 's odyssey resonates in a profound way , comparable to the classic films of jean renoir .
1
a pleasant piece of escapist entertainment .
1
this starts off with a 1950 's doris day feel and it gets very ugly , very fast . the first five minutes will have you talking 'til the end of the year !
1
frustratingly , dridi tells us nothing about el gallo other than what emerges through his music .
0
without resorting to hyperbole , i can state that kissing jessica stein may be the best same-sex romance i have seen .
1
death to smoochy tells a moldy-oldie , not-nearly -as-nasty -as-it- thinks-it-is joke . over and over again .
0
the cast has a high time , but de broca has little enthusiasm for such antique pulp .
0
this is such a dazzlingly self-assured directorial debut that it 's hard to know what to praise first .
1
the volatile dynamics of female friendship is the subject of this unhurried , low-key film that is so off-hollywood that it seems positively french in its rhythms and resonance .
1
an impeccable study in perversity .
1
the story is lacking any real emotional impact , and the plot is both contrived and cliched .
0
decent but dull .
0
skip the film and buy the philip glass soundtrack cd .
0
even if you do n't think [ kissinger 's ] any more guilty of criminal activity than most contemporary statesmen , he 'd sure make a courtroom trial great fun to watch .
1
the film is a confusing melange of tones and styles , one moment a romantic trifle and the next a turgid drama .
0
though impostor deviously adopts the guise of a modern motion picture , it too is a bomb .
0
schaeffer has to find some hook on which to hang his persistently useless movies , and it might as well be the resuscitation of the middle-aged character .
0
it is one more celluloid testimonial to the cruelties experienced by southern blacks as distilled through a caucasian perspective .
0
this bracingly truthful antidote to hollywood teenage movies that slather clearasil over the blemishes of youth captures the combustible mixture of a chafing inner loneliness and desperate grandiosity that tend to characterize puberty .
1
so vivid a portrait of a woman consumed by lust and love and crushed by betrayal that it conjures up the intoxicating fumes and emotional ghosts of a freshly painted rembrandt .
1
the overall feel of the film is pretty cheesy , but there 's still a real sense that the star trek tradition has been honored as best it can , given the embarrassing script and weak direction .
0
the skills of a calculus major at m . i . t . are required to balance all the formulaic equations in the long-winded heist comedy who is cletis tout ?
0
nothing plot-wise is worth e-mailing home about .
0
comedy troupe broken lizard 's first movie is very funny but too concerned with giving us a plot .
0
the country bears has no scenes that will upset or frighten young viewers . unfortunately , there is almost nothing in this flat effort that will amuse or entertain them , either .
0
you expect more from director michael apted ( enigma ) and screenwriter nicholas kazan ( reversal of fortune ) than this cliche pileup .
0
the problem is the needlessly poor quality of its archival prints and film footage . the images lack contrast , are murky and are frequently too dark to be decipherable .
0
'de niro . . . is a veritable source of sincere passion that this hollywood contrivance orbits around . '
1
at times the guys taps into some powerful emotions , but this kind of material is more effective on stage . it 's not a motion picture ; it 's an utterly static picture .
1
there 's only one way to kill michael myers for good : stop buying tickets to these movies .
0
too close to phantom menace for comfort .
0
slack and uninspired , and peopled mainly by characters so unsympathetic that you 're left with a sour taste in your mouth .
0
it 's drab . it 's uninteresting . it squanders chan 's uniqueness ; it could even be said to squander jennifer love hewitt !
0
it 's a hoot and a half , and a great way for the american people to see what a candidate is like when he 's not giving the same 15-cent stump speech .
1
schrader examines crane 's decline with unblinking candor .
1
splendidly illustrates the ability of the human spirit to overcome adversity .
1
bigelow handles the nuclear crisis sequences evenly but milks drama when she should be building suspense , and drags out too many scenes toward the end that should move quickly .
0
while the script starts promisingly , it loses steam towards the middle and never really develops beyond attacking obvious target .
0
the only time 8 crazy nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers .
0
in the end , ted bundy 's only justification is the director 's common but unexplored fascination with the frustrated maniac ; there 's no larger point , and little social context .
0
this amiable picture talks tough , but it 's all bluster -- in the end it 's as sweet as greenfingers . . .
1
dong shows how intolerance has the power to deform families , then tear them apart .
1
mckay deflates his piece of puffery with a sour cliche and heavy doses of mean-spiritedness

quando tiros em columbine acerta o alvo ( com o perdM-co do trocadilho ) , nM-co hM-a como negar o brilhantismo da argumentaM-gM-co de seu diretor .
1
here 's yet another studio horror franchise mucking up its storyline with glitches casual fans could correct in their sleep . but taken as a stylish and energetic one-shot , the queen of the damned can not be said to suck .
1
read my lips is to be viewed and treasured for its extraordinary intelligence and originality as well as its lyrical variations on the game of love .
1
blessed with immense physical prowess he may well be , but ahola is simply not an actor . and in truth , cruel as it may sound , he makes arnold schwarzenegger look like spencer tracy .
0
there 's no denying the physically spectacular qualities of the film . . . or the emotional integrity of the performances .
1
call it magic realism or surrealism , but miss wonton floats beyond reality with a certain degree of wit and dignity .
1
a wonderful , ghastly film .
1
'butterfingered ' is the word for the big-fisted direction of jez butterworth , who manages to blast even the smallest sensitivities from the romance with his clamorous approach .
0
nair does capture the complexity of a big family and its trials and tribulations . . .
1
supposedly , pokemon ca n't be killed , but pokemon 4ever practically assures that the pocket monster movie franchise is nearly ready to keel over .
0
warm and exotic .
1
though the book runs only about 300 pages , it is so densely packed . . . that even an ambitious adaptation and elaborate production like mr . schepisi 's seems skimpy and unclear .
0
sad nonsense , this . but not without cheesy fun factor .
0
the premise of jason x is silly but strangely believable .
1
excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic .
0
o fantasma is boldly , confidently orchestrated , aesthetically and sexually , and its impact is deeply and rightly disturbing .
1
so unremittingly awful that labeling it a dog probably constitutes cruelty to canines .
0
the movie generates plot points with a degree of randomness usually achieved only by lottery drawing .
0
a literate presentation that wonderfully weaves a murderous event in 1873 with murderous rage in 2002 .
1
a bowel-curdling , heart-stopping recipe for terror .
1
most consumers of lo mein and general tso 's chicken barely give a thought to the folks who prepare and deliver it , so , hopefully , this film will attach a human face to all those little steaming cartons .
1
for casual moviegoers who stumble into rules expecting a slice of american pie hijinks starring the kid from dawson 's creek , they 'll probably run out screaming .
0
i found the ring moderately absorbing , largely for its elegantly colorful look and sound .
1
clever but not especially compelling .
0
less-than-compelling documentary of a yiddish theater clan .
0
bM-iart and berling are both superb , while huppert . . . is magnificent .
1
a touching drama about old age and grief with a tour de force performance by michel piccoli .
1
mostly , [ goldbacher ] just lets her complicated characters be unruly , confusing and , through it all , human .
1
fessenden continues to do interesting work , and it would be nice to see what he could make with a decent budget . but the problem with wendigo , for all its effective moments , is n't really one of resources .
0
smith is careful not to make fun of these curious owners of architectural oddities . instead , he shows them the respect they are due .
1
narc may not get an 'a ' for originality , but it wears its b-movie heritage like a badge of honor .
1
an absorbing , slice-of-depression life that touches nerves and rings true .
1
the santa clause 2 is a barely adequate babysitter for older kids , but i 've got to give it thumbs down .
0
so much facile technique , such cute ideas , so little movie .
0
for every cheesy scene , though , there is a really cool bit -- the movie 's conception of a future-world holographic librarian ( orlando jones ) who knows everything and answers all questions , is visually smart , cleverly written , and nicely realized .
1
while it would be easy to give crush the new title of two weddings and a funeral , it 's a far more thoughtful film than any slice of hugh grant whimsy .
1
men in black ii has sequel-itis something fierce . an ungainly , comedy-deficient , b-movie rush job . . .
0
starts as an intense political and psychological thriller but is sabotaged by ticking time bombs and other hollywood-action cliches .
0
the wild thornberrys movie is a jolly surprise .
1
a ponderous meditation on love that feels significantly longer than its relatively scant 97 minutes .
0
el crimen del padre amaro would likely be most effective if used as a tool to rally anti-catholic protestors .
0
i loved the look of this film .
1
it is quite a vision .
1
the movie is dawn of the dead crossed with john carpenter 's ghosts of mars , with zombies not as ghoulish as the first and trains not as big as the second .
