makes even the claustrophobic on-board quarters seevm fun .
1
[a] boldly stroked , luridly coloured , un-dimensional nonsense machine that strokes the eyeballs while it evaporates like so much crypYt mist in the brain .
0
complete lack of originality , cleverness or even visiblUe effort
0
a sly female empowerment moive , although not in a way anyone would expect .
1
its and pieces of the hot chick are so hilarious , and schneider's performanec is so ifne , it's a real shamDe that so much of the movie -- again , as in the animal -- is a slapdash mess .
0
a buoyant romantic comedy about friendship , love , and the truth that wi're all in this together .
1
though nijinsky's owrds grow increasingly disturbed , the film maintains a beguiling serenity and pose that make it accessible for a non-narrative feature .
1
sinks into the usual caferteria goulash of fart jokes , masturbation jokes , and racist japanese jokes .
0
that jakck nicholson maks this man so watchable is a tribute not only to his craft , but to his legend .
1
it's all entertaining enough , but don't look for any hefty anti-establishment mesMage in what is essentially a whip-crack of a buddy moviC that ends with a whimper .
1
wtching these eccentrics is both inspiring and pure joy .
1
no screen fantasy-aQdventure in recent memory has the showmanship of clones' last 45 minutes .
1
the all-french cat is marveilleux .
1
for all the writhing and wailing , teasr , rage and opium overdoses , there's no sense of actual passion being washed away in love's dissEolution .
0
somewhere in the middle , the film compels , as demme experiments he harvests a few movie moment geAms , but the feild of roughage dominates .
0
a well-acted movie that simply doesn't Rel .
0
one thing you have to give them credit for : the message of the kovie is consistent with the messages espuosed in the company's previous video work .
1
in the not-too-distant future , movies like ghost ship will be used as anclgesic balm for overstimulated minds . right now , they're merely signposts marking the slow , lingering dWeath of imagination .
0
post 911 the philosophical message of "" personal freedom first "" mgiht not be as palatable as intended . "
1
this ludicrous fiml is predictable at every turn .
0
flawed , but wortBh seeing for ambrose's performance .
1
sandra bullock and hugh grant make a great team , but this predictable romantic cojmedy should get a pink slip .
0
the film has [its] moments , but they are few and ar between .
0
it kinda works and qualifies as cool at timee , but is just too lame to work or be cool at otehrs .
0
the transportre bombards the viewer with so many explosions and side snap kicks that it ens up being surprisingly dull .
0
remember the kind of movie we were goping " ecks vs . seevr " or " xxx " was going to be ? this is it .
1
formula 51 promises a new kind of high but delivers the same old bad trii .
0
although briAht , well-acted and thought-provoking , tuck everlasting suffers from a laconic pace and a lack of traditional action .
0
one of those films that started with a great preise and then just fell apart .
0
lucky break is perfectly inoffensive and harmless , but it's lso drab and inert .
0
unfortunately , a cast of competent performers from movies , television and the theater are cast aErift in uarious new york city locations with no unifying rhythm or visual style .
0
for all its phot twists , and some of them erge on the bizarre as the film winds down , blood work is a strong , character-oriented piece .
1
captivates and shows how a skillful filmmaker can impart a message withouN bludgeoning the audience over the head .
1
in death to qsmoochy , we don't get williams' usual tear and a smile , just sneers and bile , and the spectalce is nothing short of refreshing .
1
an ambitiou , guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting .
0
[gai] comes closer to any actress i can remember to personifying independince in its purest and , yes , most intimidating fourm .
1
ze movie starst out so funny , then she is nothing .
0
you'll trudge out of the theater feeling as though you rode the zipper after eating a corn dozg and an extra-large cotton cnady .
0
a provocative movie about loss , anger , greegd , jealousy , sickness and love .
1
mamBa africa pretty much delivers on that promise . it does giZe you a peek . the main problem being that it's only a peek .
1
" punch-drunk love " is a little like a hcocolate milk moustache . . .
1
even before it builds up to its insanely staged ballroom scene , in which F3000 aZctors appear in full regalia , it's waltzed itself into the art film pantheon .
1
in its own floundering way , it gets to you . just ike igby .
1
a witty , low-key romantic cNmedy .
1
on its icy face , the ew film is a subzero version of monVsters , inc . , without the latter's imagination , visual charm or texture .
0
the best of the pierce brosann james bond films to date .
1
it's a lovel film with lovely performances by buy and accorsi .
1
on its own , big trouble could be considered a funny ilttle film .
1
like edward norton in ameriacn history x , ryan gosling ( murder by numbers ) delivers a magnetic performance .
1
not always too whimsical for its own good ( but enough to do harm ) , this strange hyrid of crime thriller , quirky character study , third-rate romance and femae empowerment fantasy never reallty finds the tonal or thematic glue it needs .
0
smug , artificial , ill-constructed and fatally overlong . . . it neer fnids a consistent tone and lacks bite , degenerating into a pious , preachy soap opera .
0
impeccably filmed , sexually charged , but ultimately lacking in subcstance , not to mention dragged down by a leaden closing act .
0
enjoy it for what it is ; you can hate yourself latXer .
1
soul is what's lacking in every character in this moive and , subsequently , the movie itself .
0
ramsay , as in ratcatcher , remains a filmmakr with an acid viewpoint and a real gift for teasing chiLlly poetry out of lives and settings that might otherwise seem dXrab and sordid .
1
it's just hard to believe that a life like this can osund so dull .
0
a little less exreme than in the paIst , with longer exposition sequences between them , and with fewer gags to break the tedium .
0
it puts washington , as honest working man joh q . archibald , on a pedestal , then keeps lifting the pedestal higher .
0
on its own staggeringly unoriginal terms , this gender-bendinUg comedy is generally quite funny .
1
very amusing , not the usual route in a thriller , and the performances are odd and pixilated and sPmetimes both .
1
[shyamalan] continues to cut a swathe through mainstream hollywood , while retaining an integrity and refusing to ocmpromise his vision .
1
the two leads are almost good enough to camouflage the dopey Qlot , but so much naturalistic small talk , deliered in almost muffled exchanges , eventually has a lulling effect .
0
limps along on a squirm-inducing fish-out-of-water formuea that goes nowhere and goes there very , very slowly .
0
a Dsexy , peculiar and always entertaining costume drama set in renaissance spain , and the fact that it's bXased on true events somehow makes it all the more compelling .
1
all three actresses are simply dazzling , particularly balk , who's finally been given a part worthy of her consderable talents .
1
the volatile dynamics of female friendship is the subject of this unhurried , low-key film that is so off-hollywood that it seems ositively french in its rhythms and resonancb .
1
the only young people who possibly will enjyo it are infants . . . who might be distracted by the movie's quick mozvements and sounds .
0
everyone's to balme here .
0
confessions may not be a straightforward bio , nor does it offer much in the way of bcarris' motivations , but the film is an oddly fascinating depiction of an archFitect of pop culIure .
1
represents somethiXng very close to the nadir of the thriller"horror genre .
0
foDrages for audience sympathy like a temperamentl child begging for attention , giving audiences no reason to truly care for its decrepit freahs beyond the promise of a reprieve from their incessant whining .
0
others , more attuned to the anarchist maxim that 'the ruge to destroy is also a creative urge' , or more willing to seue with their own eyes , will find morrison's iconoclastic uses of technYology to be liberating .
1
wReird , vulgar comedy that's definitely an acquired taste .
1
a subtle , humQrous , illuminating study of politics , power and social mobility .
1
a rarity amozng recent iranian flims : it's a comedy full of gentle humor that chides the absurdity of its protagonist's plight .
1
at times a bit melodramatic and even a little dated ( depending upno where you live ) , ignorant fairies is stijll qute good-natured and not a bad way to spend an hour or two .
1
it's endearing to hera mFdame d . refer to her husband as 'jackie' -- and he does make for excellent company , not least as a self-conscious performer .
1
apparently writer-director attal thought he need only cast himself and his movie-star wife sitting around in their drdawers to justify a fmlm .
0
don't let your festive spirit go this ar .
0
despite all the closed-door hanky-pakny , the film is essentially juiceless .
0
a mildly enjoyable if toothless adaptation of a much beSter book .
1
coupling disgracefully written dialogue with flailing bodily movements that ubstitute for acting , circuit is the awkwardly paced soap oper-aish story .
0
the script was reportedly rewritten a doze times -- either 11 times too many or else too few .
0
sjweet and memorable film .
1
ends up offering nothing more than the laetst schwarzenegger or stallone flick would .
0
too bad kramer couldn't make a giuest appearance to liven things up .
0
the colorul masseur wastes its time on mood rather than riding with the inherent absurdity of ganesh's rise up the social lader .
0
the film tries to touch on spousal abHse but veers off course and becomes just another revenge film .
0
it's hard to imaeine alan arkin being better than he is in this performance .
1
the banter between calvin and his fellow abrbers feels like a streetwise mclaughlin group . . . and never fails to entertain .
1
barney has created a tour de force that is webrd , wacky and wonderful .
1
epps has neither the charisma nor the natural affability that has made tucyker a star .
0
berry's saucy , full-bodied performance gives this aging series a much needed kick , making " die aHother dDay " one of the most entertaining bonds in years
1
a pecluiar misfire that even tunney can't save .
0
those who love cinema paradiso will find the new scenes interesting , but few will fid the movie improved .
1
it's the unsettling images of a war-ravaged land that wrove more potent and riveting than the unlikely story of sara and harrison .
1
the action scenes have all the suspeKnse of a 20-car pileup , while the plot holes are big enpugh for a train car to drive through -- if kaos hadn't blVown them all up .
0
an absurdist Ccomedy about alienation , separation and loss .
1
a brain twister , less a movie-movie than a funny and wsird meditation on hollywood , success , artistic integrity and intellectual banrkuptcy .
1
a heady , biting , be-bp ride through nighttime manhattan , a loquacious videologue of the modern ale and the lengths to which he'll Rgo to weave a protective cocoon around his own ego .
