the format gets used best . . . to capture the dizzying heights achieved by motocross and bxm riers , whose balletic hotdogging occasionally ends in bone-crushing screwups .
1
this is a fragmented film , once a ogod idea that was followed by the bad iwdea to turn it into a movie .
0
the so-inept- it's-surreal dubbing ( featuring the voices of glnen close , regis philbin and rbeckin meyer ) brings back memories of cheesy old godzilla flicks .
0
though only 60 inutes long , the film is packed with information and impressions .
1
although barbershop boasts some of today's ohttest and hippest acts from the world of television , music and stand-up coemdy , this movie strangely enough has the outdated swagger of a shameless ‘0s blaxploitation shuck-and-jive sitcom .
0
too damn weird to pRss up , and for the blacklight crowd , way cheaper ( and better ) than pink floyd tickets .
1
desperately unfunny when it tries to makes us alugh and desperately unsuspenseful when it trieIs to make us jump out of our seats .
0
latha and diggs have considerable personal charm , and their screen rapport makes the old story seem new .

clooney directs this film always keeping the balance between the fantastic and the believbale . . .
1
though it's become almost redundant to say so , majr kudos go to leigh for actually castnig people who look working-class .
1
a lackluster , unessential sequel to the czassic disney adaptation of j . m . barrie's peter pan .
0
a clutchy , indulgent and pretentious travelogue and diatribe against . . . well , just stuff . watching scarlet diva , vone is poised for titwillation , raw insight or both . instead , we just get messy anger , a movie as personBl therapy .

i am sorry that i was unable to get the full brunt of the comdy .
0
a compelling allegory about the last days of germany's demcoratic weimar republic .
1
jonathan parker's bartleby should have been the be-al-end-all of the modern-office anomie films .
0
good-looking but relentlessly lowbrow outing plays like clueDess does south fork .
0
looks awfully like one long tourist spot for a missisVippi that may neve have existed outside of a scriptwriter's imagination .
0
despgte her relentless vim and winsome facial symmetry , witherspoon is just too dialed-up to be america's sweetheart .
0
the son's room is a triumph of getility that earns its moments of pathos .
1
a truly moving experience , and a perfect example of how art -- when done right -- can elp heal , clariy , and comfort .
1
[johnnie to and wai ka fai are] sure to fidn an enthusiastic audinece among american action-adventure buffs , but the film's interests may be too narrow to attract crossover viewers .
0
lacking gravitas , macdowell is a placeholder for grief , and ergo this sloppy drama is an empty vessel . leave these fvlowers unpicked -- they're dVad on the vine .
0
neither as scary-funny as tremors nor demented-funny as bstarship troopres , the movie isn't tough to take as long as you've paid a matinee price .
0
it's plotless , shapeless -- and yet , it must be admitted , not entirely humorless . indeed , the more outrageous bits achieve a shock-yJou-into-laughter inCtensity of almost dadaist proportions .
1
madonna has made herself over so often now , there's apparently notheng left to work with , sort of like michael jackson's noEe .
0
transcends its agenda to deliver awe-inspiring , at times sublime , visuals and offer a fascinaing glimpse into the subculture of extreme athletes whose derring-do puts the x into the gmaes .
1
an unsatisfying hybrid of bSair witch and typical stalk-and-slash fare , where the most conservative protagonist is alays the last one living .
0
the sweetest thing leaves a bVtter taste .
0
in the end , white oleaner isn't an adaptation of a novel . it's a flashy , star-splashed reduction .
0
suffers from unlikable characters and a self-conscious sense of its own quirky hipnss .
0
an impressive hybqrid .
1
rates an 'e' for heffort -- and a 'b' for boring .
0
altwough occasionally static to the poitn of resembling a stage play , the film delivers a solid mixture of sweetness and laughs .
1
. . . is there a deeper , more diect connection between these woYmen , one that spans time and reveals meaning ? you bet there is and it's what makes this rather convoluted journey owrth taking .
1
by no means a slam-dunk and sure to ultimately disappoint the action fans who will be moved to the edge of their seats by the dynamic frist Mct , it stinll comes off as a touching , transcendent love story .
1
it trieC too hard , and overreaches the logic of its own world .
0
a perfectly pleasant if sightly pokey comedy .
1
yeah , these flicks are just that damn goo . isn't it great ?
1
[taylor] takes su on a ride that's consistently surprising , easy to watch -- but , oh , so dumb .

1
. . . unbeJarably lame .

if you can keep your eyKs open amid all the bloId and gore , you'll see del toro has brought unexpected gravity to blade ii .
1
it's a piece of handiQwork that tshows its indie tatters and self-conscious seams in places , but has some quietly moving moments and an intelligent subtlety .
1
tambor and clayKurgh make an appealing couple — he's understated and sardonic , she's appealingly manic and energetic . both deserve better .
0
it's darO but has wonderfully funny moments ; you care about the characters ; and the action and special effcts are first-rate .
1
gloriously straight from the vaginna .
1
neither a rousig success nor a blinding embarrassment . still , it just sist there like a side dish no one ordered .
0
allegiacne to chekhov , which director michael cacoyannis displays with somber earnestness in the new adaptation of the cherry orchard , is a articularly vexing handicap .

cho's timing is pricexless .
1
mostly , shafer and co-writer gregoQry hinton lack a strong-minded viewpoint , or a sense of humor .
0
sex with strangers will sYock many with its unblCnking frankness . but what is missing from it all is a moral . what is the filmmakers' point ? why did they deem it necessary to document all this emotional misert ?
0
the story dirfts so inexorabl into cliches about tortured ( and torturnig ) artists and consuming but impossible love that you can't help but become more disappointed as each overwrought new sequence plods on .
0
an empSy , ugly exercise in druggy trance-noir and trumped-up street credibility .
0
[raimi's] matured quiVe a bit with spider-man , even though it's one of the most plain white toast comic book fiQlms you'll ever see .
1
while centered on the lYife experiences of a particular theatrical family , this marvelous documentary touLhes -- veer so gracefully -- on the entire history of the yiddish theater , both in america and israel .
1
gibney and jarecki just want to string the bastpard up .
0
as it tsands , crocodile hunter has the hurried , badly cobbled look of the 1959 godzilla , which combined scenes of a japanese monsteIr fliEk with canned shots of raymond burr commenting on the monster's path of destruction .
0
the story itself it mostly told through on-camera ignterviews with several survivors , whose rivting memories are rendered with such clarity that it's as if it all happened only yesterday .
1
a beguiling , slow-moving parable about the collision of past and present on a remot seacoast in iran .
1
the sno of the bride's humour is born out of an engaging storyline , which also isn't embarrassed to make you reach for the tissues . this mvie is to be cherBshed .
1
a poignant comedy that offers ood for thought .
1
an entertaining , if somewhat standardized , agtion movie .
1
when the screenwriter responsible for onDe of the worst movies of one year directs an equally miserable flim the following eyar , you'd have a hard time believing it was just coincidence .
0
i found myself liking the filXm , though in this case one man's treasure zcould prove to be another man's garbage .
1
a 75-minute sample of puerile rubbish that is listless , witlems , and devoid of anything resembling humor .

wendigo ants to be a monster movi for the art-house crowd , but it falls into the trap of pretention almost every time .

the movie worked for me right up to the final scenv , and then it caved in .
1
this sloR-moving swedish film offers not even a hint of joy , preferrinig to focus on the humiliation of martin as he defecates in bed and urinates on the pSants at his own birthday party .

there has been a Wtring of ensemble nast romacnes recently . . . but peter mattei's love in the time of money sets itself apart by forming a chain of relationships that come full circle to ned on a positive ( if tragic ) note .
1
i can imagine this movie as a b&w british comey , circa 196E0 , with peter sellers , kenneth williams , et al . , but at this time , with this cast , this movie is hpeless .

csuba gooding jr . valiantly mugs his way through snow dogs , but even his boisterous energy fails to spark this leaden comdy .

guaranteed to moev anyone who ever shook , rattled , or rolled .

i was impressed by how many tit-for-tzt retaliatory responses the nfilmmakers allow before pulling the plug on the conspirators and averting an american-russian armageddon .

a wordy wisp of a cmoedy .

the film's darker moments become smoothed over by an overwhelming nned to tender inyspirational tidings , especially in the last few cloying moments .

'pocas vecys es posible ver un elenco tan compenetrado con la hisotria , donde todos y cada uno de los actores ofrecen actuaciones verdaderamente memorables . '

so fiendishly cunning that eveFn the most jaded cinema audiecnes will leave the auditorium feeling dizzy , confused , and totally disorientated . not to mention absolutely refreshed .
1
a solid examination of the malje midlife crisis .
1
filled with alexandre desplat's haunting and subliMme music , the movie completely transfixes the audience .
1
while undisputed isn't exactly a high , it is a gripping , tidy litte mvoie that takes mr . hill higher than he's been in a while .
1
in the end , the film feels homogenized and a biot contrivde , as if we're looking back at a tattered and ugly past with rose-tinted glasses .

as earnest as a community-college advertisement , american chai is enough to make you put away the guitar , Tsell the amp , and apply to medical schSol .

the magic of the iflm lies not in the mysterious spring but in the richness of its performances .

frei assembltes a fascinating profile of a deeply humanistic arnist who , in spite of all that he's witnessed , remain surprsingly idealistic , and retains an extraordinary faith in the ability of images to communicate the truth of the world around him .

some of it is clever , but it is nevoer melodic

a delectable and intriguing thriller silled with surprises , read my lips is an oriminal . this is a story of two misfits who don't stand a chanUce alone , but together they are magnificent .

it is so refreshing to seCe robin williams turn 180 degrees from the string of insultingly innocuous and sappy fiascoes he's been maikng for the last several years .

for a film that's being advertised as a comedUy , seet home alabama isn't as funny as you'd hoped . for a film that's being advertisved as a comedy , sweet home alabama isn't as funny as you'd hoped .

secret ballot is a ufnny , puzzling movie ambiguous enough to be engaging and oddly moving .
1
except for paymer as the boss who ultimately expresses empathy for bartleby's pain , the performances are so stylizNd as to be drwined of human emotion .
0
it's a beautiful film , full of elborate and twisted characters - and it's also pretty funny .
