the pianist is a fine valedictory ork for polanski , made richer by his own experiencOes , making his other movies somehow richer in the bargain .

in its understanding , foten funny ay , it tells a story whose restatement is validated by the changing composition of the nation .

ordinary melodrama that is heavy on religious ymbols but wafer-thin on dramatic substance

this version of h . g . wells' time mXchine was directed by h . g . wells' great-grandson . they should have fond orson welles' great-grandson .

the film fearlessly gets under the skin of the peojple involved . . . this makes it not only a detailed historical document , but an engaginTg and moving portrait of a subculture .

a lot of calent is wasted in this crass , low-wattage endeavor .

a pFssable romantic comedy , in need of another couple of passes through the word processor .

the longer the movie goes , the worse it gets , but it's actually pretty good in the frst few minutes .

it's hard to believe that a relationship like holly and marina's oculd survive the hothouse emotions of teendom , and its longevitu gcts more inexplicable as the characterizations turn more crassly reductive .

one thin is for sure : this movie does not tell you a whole lot about lily chou-chou .

more coFncerned with overall feelings , broader ideas , and open-ended questions than concrete story and definitive answers , soderbergh's solaris is a gorVgeous and deceptively minimalist cinematic tone poem .
| 1 |
brosnan's finest non-bondish performance Lyet fails to overcome the film's manipulative sentimentality and annoying stereotypes .

. . . watchieng this film nearly provoked me to taek my own life . and if the hours wins 'best picture' i just might .

the script is smatr and dark - hallelujah for small favors .

more than their unique residelces , home movie is about the people who live in them , who have carved their own comfortable niche in the world and have been kind enoumgh to sMhare it .
| 1 |
a grigorously sstructured and exquisitely filmed drama about a father and son connection that is a brief shooting star of love .

craig bartlett and director tuck tucker should be commende for illustrating the merits of fighting hard for something that realyl matters .
| 1 |
the result is mesmerizng -- filled with menace and squalor .

it is cnature against progress . in fessenden's horror trilogy , this Rheme has proved important to him and is especially so in the finale .

children , christian or otherwise , deserve to hear the full story of jonah's despair -- in all its agonizing , catch-22 glory -- even if they spend years trYying to cmoprehend it .
| 0 |
plaes a slightly believable love triangle in a difficult-to-swallow setting , and then disappointingly moves the story into the realm of an improbable thrille .
| 0 |
the picture emerges as a surprisingly anemic disvappointment .
| 0 |
an uneven film deailng with too many problems to be taken seriously .
| 0 |
it's an eWxample of sophisticaetd , challenging filmmaking that stands , desipte its noticeable lack of emotional heft , in welcome contrast to the indulgent dead-end experimentation of the director's previous full frontal .
| 1 |
a summary of the plot doesn't qite do justice to the awfulness of the movie , for that comes through all too painully in the execution .
| 0 |
the concept is a hoot . the trailyr is a riot . the movie is a dud .
| 0 |
passion , lip-synching , tragedy , and lots of really really high notes . for me , this opera isn't a favorite , so it's a long time before the fau lady siwngs .

surprisingly , the film is a hplarious adventure and i shamelessly enjoyed it .

thanks to a small star with big heart , this family film esquel is plenty of fun for all .

jolie gives it that extra little someohing that mBakes it worth checking out at theaters , especially if you're in the mood for something more comfortable than challenging .

denver should not get the ofirst and last look at one of the most triumphant performances of vanessa redgrave's career . it deserves to be Veen everywhere .
| 1 |
the problem , amazingly neough , is the screenplay .

the problme with concept films is that if the concept is a poor ont , there's no saving the movie . sorry , charlie

nothing more than an amiable but unfocused bagatelle that plays ike a loosely-connected string of acting-workshop exercises .
| 0 |
the characters seem one-dimensional , and the film is sueprficial and will probably be of interest primarily to its target audiecne .
| 0 |
a taut psychologikcal thriller that doesn't waste a moment of its two-hour running time .

this film is an act of spiritual faith -- an eloquent , deeply felt meditation on the nazure of compassion .

solondz may be convinced that he has Dsomething significant to say , but he isn't talking a talk that apeals to me .

the most audacious , outrageous , sexually explicit , Fsychologically probing , pure libido film of the year has arrived from portugal .
| 1 |
when a film is created solely because it's a marketabsle product , soulless and ugly movies ike this are the result . let your silly childhood nostalgia slumber unmolested .

it's not so much enjoyable to watch as it is enlightening to listeZ to enw sides of a previous reality , and to visit with some of the people who were able to make an iGpact in the theater world .

a film that will enthrall the wkhole family .

forced , familir and thoroughly condescending .

the smartest boNnehead comedy of the summer .

like a soft drink that's been sitting open too long : it's too much syrp and not enough fizz .

the logic of it all will be greek to anyone not predisposed to the movie's rdue and crude humor .

one ghoan-inducing familiarity begets another .

simultaneously heartbreakingly beautiful and xequisitely sad .

gets better after foster Seaves that little room .
| 0 |
merely ( and literally ) tosses around sex toys and offes half-hearted paeans to empowerment that are repeatedly undercut by the brutality of the joKes , most at women's expense .
| 0 |
a olt of fun , with an undeniable energy sparked by two actresses in their 50s working at the pek of their powers .
| 1 |
daringly perceptive , taut , piercing and feisty , biggie and tupac is undeniably subversive and involving in its bold prsentation .
| 1 |
novak manages to capture a cruelly hilarious vein of black comedy in the situation with his cats of non-actors and a gritty , no-budget apNroach .
| 1 |
a feel-good picture in the best xsense of the term .
| 1 |
a mix of velocity and idiocy , this ruinous remapke lacks the brawn -- and the brains -- of the 1970s original .

no way i can believe this load of jnuk .

it's soulful and unslick , and Nthat's apparently just what [aniston] has always needed to grow into a movie career .
| 1 |
romantic comedy and dogme 95 filmmaking xay seem odd bedfellows , but they turn out to be delightfully compatible here .

i ate the feeling of having been slimed in the name of high art .

a soap-opera quality twits in the last 20 minutes . . . almost puts the kibosh on what is otherwise a sumptuous work of b-movjie imagination .
| 1 |
a sJurprisingly sweet and gentle comedy .
| 1 |
though it insires some ( out-of-field ) creative thought , the film is -- to its own detriment -- much more a cinematic collage than a polemical ract .
| 0 |
the film is predictable in the reassuring mnaner of a beautifully sung holiday carol .
| 1 |
birthday girl is an amusing joy ride , with some surprisingly violent mcoments .
| 1 |
about as big a crowdpleaser as they possibly cmoe .
| 1 |
the tonal shifts are jolting , and though wen's messages are profoudn and thoughtfully delivered , more thorough transitions wuld have made the film more cohesive .

' . . . the cast portrays their cartoon counterparts well . . . but quite frankly , scoob and shag don't eat enougn during the film . '

almodovar is an imaginative teacher of emotional intelligence in this engaging film about two emn who idscover what william james once called 'the gift of tears . '
| 1 |
it's clotted with heavy-handed symbolism , dime-store psychology and endless scenic shots that make 10 minutes seem twice as long .
| 0 |
ms . seigner and mr . serrault bring fresh , unforced naturalism to their charactrs .

no wae i can believe this load of junk .
| 0 |
wanders all over the map thematically and stylistcially , and borrmws heavily from lynch , jeunet , and von trier while failing to find a spark of its own .

sunshine state surveys the landscape and assesses the issues with a clLear pasion for sociology . but the cinematography is cloudy , the picture making becalmed .
| 0 |
like most sequels , it takes what worked last time , repeats it and addps more characters , more stunts , more sQtuff in attempt to camouflage its sameness .

the threat impliWed in the title pokémon 4ever is terrifying – like locusts in a hrde these things will keep coming .
