red dragon `` never cuts corners .

such a bad movie that its luckiest viewers will be seated next to one of those ignorant pinheads who talk throughout the show .
0
passably entertaining but also mechanical and joyless .
0
not so much farcical as sour .

hashiguchi uses the situation to evoke a japan bustling atop an undercurrent of loneliness and isolation .

there 's a lot to recommend read my lips .
1
it 's a lot to ask people to sit still for two hours and change watching such a character , especially when rendered in as flat and impassive a manner as phoenix 's .
0
roman coppola may never become the filmmaker his dad was , but heck M-^V few filmmakers will . but based on cq , i 'll certainly be keeping an eye out for his next project .
1
sensual , funny and , in the end , very touching .

is anyone else out there getting tired of the whole slo-mo , double-pistoled , ballistic-pyrotechnic hong kong action aesthetic ?
0
being author wells ' great-grandson , you 'd think filmmaker simon wells would have more reverence for the material . but this costly dud is a far cry from either the book or the beloved film .
0
more of a career curio than a major work .

it 's not a classic spy-action or buddy movie , but it 's entertaining enough and worth a look .
1
it 's unlikely we 'll see a better thriller this year .
1
it may play well as a double feature with mainstream foreign mush like my big fat greek wedding

it 's a big idea , but the film itself is small and shriveled .
0
a very stylish but ultimately extremely silly tale . . . a slick piece of nonsense but nothing more .
0
unfortunately , it appears that [ jackie ] chan 's us influence is starting to show in his hong kong films .
1
contrived , awkward and filled with unintended laughs , the film shows signs that someone other than the director got into the editing room and tried to improve things by making the movie go faster .
0
stealing harvard will dip into your wallet , swipe 90 minutes of your time , and offer you precisely this in recompense : a few early laughs scattered around a plot as thin as it is repetitious .

as saccharine movies go , this is likely to cause massive cardiac arrest if taken in large doses .

it 's fun , wispy , wise and surprisingly inoffensive for a film about a teen in love with his stepmom .
1
the production has been made with an enormous amount of affection , so we believe these characters love each other .
1
the whole affair is as predictable as can be .
0
. . . the story , like ravel 's bolero , builds to a crescendo that encompasses many more paths than we started with .
1
only a few minutes elapse before the daddy of all slashers arrives , still with the boiler suit and white mask , which look remarkably clean for a guy who has been mass-murdering since 1978 but has never been seen doing laundry .
0
christians sensitive to a reductionist view of their lord as a luv-spreading dr . feelgood or omnipotent slacker will feel vastly more affronted than secularists , who might even praise god for delivering such an instant camp classic .
0
there is something in full frontal , i guess , about artifice and acting and how it distorts reality for people who make movies and watch them , but like most movie riddles , it works only if you have an interest in the characters you see .
0
it may not be history but then again , what if it is ? but it makes for one of the most purely enjoyable and satisfying evenings at the movies i 've had in a while .
1
a rote exercise in both animation and storytelling .

as a film director , labute continues to improve .

0
the real charm of this trifle is the deadpan comic face of its star , jean reno , who resembles sly stallone in a hot sake half-sleep .
1
there is very little dread or apprehension , and though i like the creepy ideas , they are not executed with anything more than perfunctory skill .
0
auto focus is not your standard hollywood bio-pic . schrader aims to present an unflinching look at one man 's downfall , brought about by his lack of self-awareness .
1
odd and weird .

fluffy neo-noir hiding behind cutesy film references .

no surprises .

the plot is romantic comedy boilerplate from start to finish .
0
one of the most plain , unimaginative romantic comedies i 've ever seen .

this tuxedo . . . should have been sent back to the tailor for some major alterations .
0
a resonant tale of racism , revenge and retribution .

this strenuously unfunny showtime deserves the hook .
0
this dubious product of a college-spawned ( colgate u . ) comedy ensemble known as broken lizard plays like a mix of cheech and chong and chips .
0
sometimes we feel as if the film careens from one colorful event to another without respite , but sometimes it must have seemed to frida kahlo as if her life did , too .
1
oh , it 's extreme , all right . extremely dumb . extremely confusing . extremely boring .
0
meandering and glacially paced , and often just plain dull .
0
we may get the full visceral impact of a ruthless army on the warpath but no sense of the devilish complexity of the balkans conflict .

dog soldiers does n't transcend genre -- it embraces it , energizes it and takes big bloody chomps out of it .
1
this filmed tosca -- not the first , by the way -- is a pretty good job , if it 's filmed tosca that you want . i 'll stay with the stage versions , however , which bite cleaner , and deeper .
1

0
the nicest thing that can be said about stealing harvard ( which might have been called freddy gets molested by a dog ) is that it 's not as obnoxious as tom green 's freddie got fingered .
0
this is such a high-energy movie where the drumming and the marching are so excellent , who cares if the story 's a little weak .
1
the sight of the name bruce willis brings to mind images of a violent battlefield action picture , but the film has a lot more on its mind -- maybe too much .
0
on the bright side , it contains jesse ventura 's best work since the xfl .
0
although estela bravo 's documentary is cloyingly hagiographic in its portrait of cuban leader fidel castro , it 's still a guilty pleasure to watch .
1
a teasing drama whose relentless good-deed/bad-deed reversals are just interesting enough to make a sinner like me pray for an even more interesting , less symmetrical , less obviously cross-shaped creation .
1
the movie is brilliant , really . it is philosophy , illustrated through everyday events .
1
forget the psychology 101 study of romantic obsession and just watch the procession of costumes in castles and this wo n't seem like such a bore .
0
another rent installment for the ian fleming estate .
0

too intensely focused on the travails of being hal hartley to function as pastiche , no such thing is hartley 's least accessible screed yet .
0
funny and also heartwarming without stooping to gooeyness .
1
because of an unnecessary and clumsy last scene , 'swimfan ' left me with a very bad feeling .
0
for all its surface frenzy , high crimes should be charged with loitering -- so much on view , so little to offer .
0
the movie weighs no more than a glass of flat champagne .
0
a simmering psychological drama in which the bursts of sudden violence are all the more startling for the slow buildup that has preceded them .
1
it 's a count for our times .
1
the idea of 49-year-old roberto benigni playing the wooden boy pinocchio is scary enough . the reality of the new live-action pinocchio he directed , cowrote and starred in borders on the grotesque .
0
the jokes are flat , and the action looks fake .
0
alas , the black-and-white archival footage of their act showcases pretty mediocre shtick .
0
writer/ director m . night shyamalan 's ability to pull together easily accessible stories that resonate with profundity is undeniable .
