. . . a story , an old and scary one , about the monsters we make , and the vengeance they take .
1
real women have curves does n't offer any easy answers .
1
by the end of no such thing the audience , like beatrice , has a watchful affection for the monster .
1
the intent is almost exactly the same [ as the full monty ] . all that 's missing is the spontaneity , originality and delight .
0
adaptation 's success in engaging the audience in the travails of creating a screenplay is extraordinary .
1
by the end of the movie , you 're definitely convinced that these women are spectacular .
1
an incredibly thoughtful , deeply meditative picture that neatly and effectively captures the debilitating grief felt in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks .
1
this is a movie where the most notable observation is how long you 've been sitting still .
0
a bigger holiday downer than your end-of-year 401 ( k ) statement .
0
aggravating and tedious .
0
this painfully unfunny farce traffics in tired stereotypes and encumbers itself with complications . . . that have no bearing on the story .
0
montias . . . pumps a lot of energy into his nicely nuanced narrative and surrounds himself with a cast of quirky -- but not stereotyped -- street characters .
1
all-in-all , the film is an enjoyable and frankly told tale of a people who live among us , but not necessarily with us .
1
at times auto focus feels so distant you might as well be watching it through a telescope . yet in its own aloof , unreachable way it 's so fascinating you wo n't be able to look away for a second .
1
it proves quite compelling as an intense , brooding character study .
1
the rare imax movie that you 'll wish was longer than an hour .
1
my thoughts were focused on the characters . that is a compliment to kuras and miller . if i had been thinking about the visual medium , they would have been doing something wrong .
1
pipe dream does have its charms . the leads are natural and lovely , the pace is serene , the humor wry and sprightly .
1
a dull , dumb and derivative horror film .
0
make like the title and dodge this one .
0
a sober and affecting chronicle of the leveling effect of loss .
1
while the humor is recognizably plympton , he has actually bothered to construct a real story this time .
1
it 's soulful and unslick , and that 's apparently just what [ aniston ] has always needed to grow into a movie career .
1
city by the sea is a gritty police thriller with all the dysfunctional family dynamics one could wish for . but how it washed out despite all of that is the project 's prime mystery .
0
[ haynes ' ] homage to such films as `` all that heaven allows `` and `` imitation of life `` transcends them . simply put , `` far from heaven `` is a masterpiece .
1
when compared to the usual , more somber festival entries , davis ' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart , smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic .
1
for all its failed connections , divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood is nurturing , in a gauzy , dithering way .
1
it 's an 88-minute highlight reel that 's 86 minutes too long .
0
oscar caliber cast does n't live up to material
0
the story , like life , refuses to be simple , and the result is a compelling slice of awkward emotions .
1
inventive , fun , intoxicatingly sexy , violent , self-indulgent and maddening .
1
a compelling film .
1
indifferently implausible popcorn programmer of a movie .
0
the film does a solid job of slowly , steadily building up to the climactic burst of violence .
1
. . . irritating soul-searching garbage .
0
it 's a movie that ends with truckzilla , for cryin ' out loud . if that does n't clue you in that something 's horribly wrong , nothing will .
0
the film never rises above a conventional , two dimension tale
0
my big fat greek wedding uses stereotypes in a delightful blend of sweet romance and lovingly dished out humor .
1
i can analyze this movie in three words : thumbs friggin ' down .
0
rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along .
0
a surprisingly funny movie .
1
the movie feels like it 's going to be great , and it carries on feeling that way for a long time , but takeoff just never happens .
0
it gives devastating testimony to both people 's capacity for evil and their heroic capacity for good .
1
samuel beckett applied to the iranian voting process .
1
the script feels as if it started to explore the obvious voyeuristic potential of 'hypertime ' but then backed off when the producers saw the grosses for spy kids .
0
the film 's images give a backbone to the company and provide an emotional edge to its ultimate demise .
1
the way home is an ode to unconditional love and compassion garnered from years of seeing it all , a condition only the old are privy to , and . . . often misconstrued as weakness .
1
wins my vote for 'the 2002 enemy of cinema ' award .
0
if you 're a crocodile hunter fan , you 'll enjoy at least the `` real `` portions of the film . if you 're looking for a story , do n't bother .
0
no one can doubt the filmmakers ' motives , but the guys still feels counterproductive .
0
full of surprises .
1
unless there are zoning ordinances to protect your community from the dullest science fiction , impostor is opening today at a theater near you .
0
some actors steal scenes . tom green just gives them a bad odor . this self-infatuated goofball is far from the only thing wrong with the clumsy comedy stealing harvard , but he 's the most obvious one .
0
no telegraphing is too obvious or simplistic for this movie .
0
its initial excitement settles into a warmed over pastiche .
0
one of those films that seems tailor made to air on pay cable to offer some modest amusements when one has nothing else to watch .
0
this 10th film in the series looks and feels tired .
0
an unabashedly schmaltzy and thoroughly enjoyable true story .
1
a decent-enough nail-biter that stands a good chance of being the big hit franklin needs to stay afloat in hollywood .
1
viewers are asked so often to suspend belief that were it not for holm 's performance , the film would be a total washout .
0
there is nothing funny in this every-joke-has- been-told-a- thousand-times- before movie .
0
too much of the humor falls flat .
0
i cry for i spy -- or i would if this latest and laziest imaginable of all vintage-tv spinoffs were capable of engendering an emotional response of any kind .
0
smith profiles five extraordinary american homes , and because the owners seem fully aware of the uses and abuses of fame , it 's a pleasure to enjoy their eccentricities .
1
aptly named , this shimmering , beautifully costumed and filmed production does n't work for me .
0
totally overwrought , deeply biased , and wholly designed to make you feel guilty about ignoring what the filmmakers clearly believe are the greatest musicians of all time .
0
rarely have i seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart .
1
this dreadfully earnest inversion of the concubine love triangle eschews the previous film 's historical panorama and roiling pathos for bug-eyed mugging and gay-niche condescension .
0
you may feel compelled to watch the film twice or pick up a book on the subject .
1
grant carries the day with impeccable comic timing , raffish charm and piercing intellect .
1
although disney follows its standard formula in this animated adventure , it feels more forced than usual .
0
given how heavy-handed and portent-heavy it is , this could be the worst thing soderbergh has ever done .
0
innocuous enough to make even jean-claude van damme look good .
0
a quasi-documentary by french filmmaker karim dridi that celebrates the hardy spirit of cuban music .
1
the latest vapid actor 's exercise to appropriate the structure of arthur schnitzler 's reigen .
0
schepisi , aided by a cast that seems to include every top-notch british actor who did not appear in gosford park ( as well as one , ms . mirren , who did ) , has succeeded beyond all expectation .
1
a worthy tribute to a great humanitarian and her vibrant 'co-stars . '
1
director todd solondz has made a movie about critical reaction to his two previous movies , and about his responsibility to the characters that he creates .
1
full of witless jokes , dealing in broad stereotypes and outrageously unbelievable scenarios , and saddled with a general air of misogyny
0
the story is a rather simplistic one : grief drives her , love drives him , and a second chance to find love in the most unlikely place - it struck a chord in me .
1
a serious movie with serious ideas . but seriously , folks , it does n't work .
0
the cast delivers without sham the raw-nerved story .
1
an uncomfortable experience , but one as brave and challenging as you could possibly expect these days from american cinema .
1
leave it to john sayles to take on developers , the chamber of commerce , tourism , historical pageants , and commercialism all in the same movie . . . without neglecting character development for even one minute .
1
the wild thornberrys movie is pleasant enough and the message of our close ties with animals can certainly not be emphasized enough .
1
the worst kind of independent ; the one where actors play dress down hicks and ponderously mope around trying to strike lightning as captured by their 1970s predecessors
0
day is not a great bond movie , but it is a good bond movie , which still makes it much better than your typical bond knock-offs .
1
parents beware ; this is downright movie penance .
0
very stupid and annoying .
0
like its title character , this nicholas nickleby finds itself in reduced circumstances -- and , also like its hero , it remains brightly optimistic , coming through in the end .
1
the screenplay never lets us forget that bourne was once an amoral assassin just like the ones who are pursuing him . . . there is never really a true `` us `` versus `` them `` .
1
an inelegant combination of two unrelated shorts that falls far short of the director 's previous work in terms of both thematic content and narrative strength .
0
there 's a little violence and lots of sex in a bid to hold our attention , but it grows monotonous after a while , as do joan and philip 's repetitive arguments , schemes and treachery .
0
the gifted crudup has the perfect face to play a handsome blank yearning to find himself , and his cipherlike personality and bad behavior would play fine if the movie knew what to do with him .
0
the messages of compassion and mercy are clearly , squarely and specifically expounded via computer animated old testament tale of jonah and the whale . determined to be fun , and bouncy , with energetic musicals , the humor did n't quite engage this adult .
0
often messy and frustrating , but very pleasing at its best moments , it 's very much like life itself .
1
a film without surprise geared toward maximum comfort and familiarity .
0
scott delivers a terrific performance in this fascinating portrait of a modern lothario .
1
an intriguing look at the french film industry during the german occupation ; its most delightful moments come when various characters express their quirky inner selves .
1
george clooney proves he 's quite a talented director and sam rockwell shows us he 's a world-class actor with confessions of a dangerous mind .
