jackson tries to keep the plates spinning as best he can , but all the bouncing back and forth ca n't help but become a bit tedious -- even with the breathtaking landscapes and villainous varmints there to distract you from the ricocheting .

... a fascinating curiosity piece -- fascinating , that is , for about ten minutes .

over and over again .

nolan proves that he can cross swords with the best of them and helm a more traditionally plotted popcorn thriller while surrendering little of his intellectual rigor or creative composure .

this bond film goes off the beaten path , not necessarily for the better .

... its solemn pretension prevents us from sharing the awe in which it holds itself .

igby goes down is one of those movies .

ambitious , unsettling psychodrama that takes full , chilling advantage of its rough-around-the-edges , low-budget constraints .

the woodman seems to have directly influenced this girl-meets-girl love story , but even more reassuring is how its makers actually seem to understand what made allen 's romantic comedies so pertinent and enduring .

i could n't recommend this film more .

an inexperienced director , mehta has much to learn .

you can taste it , but there 's no fizz .

a reworking of die hard and cliffhanger but it 's nowhere near as exciting as either .

a moving tale of love and destruction in unexpected places , unexamined lives .

it has more than a few moments that are insightful enough to be fondly remembered in the endlessly challenging maze of moviegoing .

why ?

and that is where ararat went astray .

vincent gallo is right at home in this french shocker playing his usual bad boy weirdo role .

clockstoppers is one of those crazy , mixed-up films that does n't know what it wants to be when it grows up .

sandra bullock , despite downplaying her good looks , carries a little too much ai n't - she-cute baggage into her lead role as a troubled and determined homicide cop to quite pull off the heavy stuff .

it 's mostly a pleasure to watch .

a bit too derivative to stand on its own as the psychological thriller it purports to be .

its spirit of iconoclastic abandon -- however canned -- makes for unexpectedly giddy viewing .

a kilted jackson is an unsettling sight , and indicative of his , if you will , out-of-kilter character , who rambles aimlessly through ill-conceived action pieces .

i did n't find much fascination in the swinging .

this is no `` waterboy ! ''

a witty , trenchant , wildly unsentimental but flawed look at the ins and outs of modern moviemaking .

baby-faced renner is eerily convincing as this bland blank of a man with unimaginable demons within .

the name says it all .

the kind of primal storytelling that george lucas can only dream of .

it 's been 20 years since 48 hrs .

uplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be , and among the best films of the year .

the irwins ' scenes are fascinating ; the movie as a whole is cheap junk and an insult to their death-defying efforts .

he seems to want both , but succeeds in making neither .

funny , though .

by turns fanciful , grisly and engagingly quixotic .

the re-release of ron howard 's apollo 13 in the imax format proves absolutely that really , really , really good things can come in enormous packages .

unofficially , national lampoon 's van wilder is son of animal house .

it never is , not fully .

it 's just a little too self-satisfied .

i 've never seen -lrb- a remake -rrb- do anything as stomach-turning as the way adam sandler 's new movie rapes , pillages and incinerates frank capra 's classic ...

this amiable picture talks tough , but it 's all bluster -- in the end it 's as sweet as greenfingers ...

my little eye is the best little `` horror '' movie i 've seen in years .

the movie is a negligible work of manipulation , an exploitation piece doing its usual worst to guilt-trip parents .

the movie is well done , but slow .

the plot plummets into a comedy graveyard before janice comes racing to the rescue in the final reel .

the master of disguise is awful .

same song , second verse , coulda been better , but it coulda been worse .

the film is one of the year 's best .

the direction occasionally rises to the level of marginal competence , but for most of the film it is hard to tell who is chasing who or why .

the three leads produce adequate performances , but what 's missing from this material is any depth of feeling .

`` looking for leonard '' just seems to kinda sit in neutral , hoping for a stiff wind to blow it uphill or something .

the most surprising thing about this film is that they are actually releasing it into theaters .

... one resurrection too many .

warmed-over hash .

no , i hate it .

for a long time the film succeeds with its dark , delicate treatment of these characters and its unerring respect for them .

the film is like sitting in a downtown café , overhearing a bunch of typical late-twenty-somethings natter on about nothing , and desperately wishing you could change tables .

the filmmakers want nothing else than to show us a good time , and in their cheap , b movie way , they succeed .

a rollicking ride , with jaw-dropping action sequences , striking villains , a gorgeous color palette , astounding technology , stirring music and a boffo last hour that leads up to a strangely sinister happy ending .

an hour and a half of joyful solo performance .

contrived pastiche of caper clichés .

a triumph , a film that hews out a world and carries us effortlessly from darkness to light .

... a plotline that 's as lumpy as two-day old porridge ... the filmmakers ' paws , sad to say , were all over this `` un-bear-able '' project !
