1 | Like leafing through an album of photos accompanied by the sketchiest of captions |
0 | I guess it just goes to show that if you give a filmmaker an unlimited amount of phony blood nothing good can happen |
0 | Gaghan captures the halflit sometimes creepy intimacy of college dorm rooms a subtlety that makes the silly overthetop coda especially disappointing |

0 | One of the most unpleasant things the studio has ever produced |
1 | Will anyone who is n't a Fangoria subscriber be excited that it has n't gone straight to video |
1 | A selection of scenes in search of a movie |
1 | LRB Janey RRB forgets about her other obligations leading to a tragedy which is somehow guessable from the first few minutes maybe because it echoes the by now intolerable morbidity of so many recent movies |
1 | Will undoubtedly play well in European markets where Mr Besson is a brand name and in Asia where Ms Shu is an institution but American audiences will probably find it familiar and insufficiently cathartic |
0 | True to its animatronic roots as stiff ponderous and charmless as a mechanical apparatus The Country Bears ' should never have been brought out of hibernation |
1 | LRB Evans is RRB a fascinating character and deserves a better vehicle than this facetious smirk of a movie |
0 | The script 's judgment and sense of weight is way way off |
2 | You come away wishing though that the movie spent a lot less time trying to make a credible case for reports from the afterlife and a lot more time on the romantic urgency that 's at the center of the story |
0 | Evelyn may be based on a true and historically significant story but the filmmakers have made every effort to disguise it as an unimaginative screenwriter 's invention |
0 | A derivative collection of horror and scifi cliches |
0 | Loosely speaking we 're in All of Me territory again and strictly speaking Schneider is no Steve Martin |
0 | As aimless as an old pickup skidding completely out of control on a long patch of black ice the movie makes two hours feel like four |
1 | Limps along on a squirminducing fishoutofwater formula that goes nowhere and goes there very very slowly |
1 | Just the sort of lazy tearjerker that gives movies about ordinary folk a bad name |
1 | The redeeming feature of Chan 's films has always been the action but the stunts in The Tuxedo seem tired and what 's worse routine |
1 | While The Importance of Being Earnest offers opportunities for occasional smiles and chuckles it does n't give us a reason to be in the theater beyond Wilde 's wit and the actors ' performances |
0 | Has all the scenic appeal of a cesspool |
1 | A rambling ensemble piece with loosely connected characters and plots that never quite gel |
2 | A Lifetime movie about men |
2 | The Balkans provide the obstacle course for the love of a good woman |
1 | It 's hard to say who might enjoy this are there Tolstoy groupies out there |
2 | It 's dark and tragic and lets the business of the greedy talent agents get in the way of saying something meaningful about facing death |
1 | This is a movie that starts out like Heathers then becomes Bring it On then becomes unwatchable |
1 | The screenplay flounders under the weight of too many story lines |
1 | I think it was Plato who said ' I think therefore I know better than to rush to the theatre for this one ' |
1 | If Damon and Affleck attempt another Project Greenlight next time out they might try paying less attention to the miniseries and more attention to the film it is about |
1 | This is rote drivel aimed at Mom and Dad 's wallet |
0 | Contrived maudlin and clicheridden if this sappy script was the best the contest received those rejected must have been astronomically bad |
0 | I hate the feeling of having been slimed in the name of High Art |
2 | This is more a case of Sacre bleu ' |
2 | than Magnifique ' |
1 | The kids in the audience at the preview screening seemed bored cheering the pratfalls but little else their parents wise folks that they are read books |

0 | But one thing 's for sure It never comes close to being either funny or scary |
2 | Yet another weepy Southern boreathon |
3 | I like all four of the lead actors a lot and they manage to squeeze a few laughs out of the material but they 're treading water at best in this forgettable effort |
2 | Perhaps the most annoying thing about Who Is Cletis Tout |
0 | is that it 's a crime movie made by someone who obviously knows nothing about crime |
2 | Except as an acting exercise or an exceptionally dark joke you wonder what anyone saw in this film that allowed it to get made |
1 | This insufferable movie is meant to make you think about existential suffering |
0 | Instead it 'll only put you to sleep |
2 | Who is this movie for |
2 | Not kids who do n't need the lesson in repugnance |
0 | It 's also not smart or barbed enough for older viewers not everyone thinks poopoo jokes are edgy ' |
0 | A sleepinducingly slowpaced crime drama with clumsy dialogue heavyhanded phoneyfeeling sentiment and an overlyfamiliar set of plot devices |
1 | It 's so tedious that it makes you forgive every fake dishonest entertaining and ultimately more perceptive moment in Bridget Jones 's Diary |
1 | Almost as offensive as Freddy Got Fingered '' |
1 | 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 |

1 | Ponderous plodding soap opera disguised as a feature film |
1 | Cold pretentious thoroughly dislikable study in sociopathy |

0 | A cheap scam put together by some cynical creeps at Revolution Studios and Imagine Entertainment to make the suckers out there surrender $ and minutes of unrecoverable life |
1 | Reign of Fire never comes close to recovering from its demented premise but it does sustain an enjoyable level of ridiculousness |
3 | Human Nature is a goofball movie in the way that Malkovich was but it tries too hard |
1 | Originality is sorely lacking |
2 | The plot 's clearly mythic structure may owe more to Disney 's strong sense of formula than to the original story |
4 | But while the highly predictable narrative falls short Treasure Planet is truly gorgeous to behold |
1 | Though there are entertaining and audacious moments the movie 's wildly careening tone and an extremely flat lead performance do little to salvage this filmmaker 's flailing reputation |
2 | Ram Dass Fierce Grace moulds itself as an example to upandcoming documentarians of the overlooked pitfalls of such an endeavour |
2 | Lucky Break is perfectly inoffensive and harmless but it 's also drab and inert |
0 | For a story set at sea Ghost Ship is pretty landbound with its leaden acting dull exposition and telegraphed surprises ' |
1 | There might be some sort of credible genderprovoking philosophy submerged here but who the hell cares |
1 | Nothing more than a stifling morality tale dressed up in peekaboo clothing |
0 | I like my Christmas movies with more elves and snow and less pimps and ho 's |
1 | It all seemed wasted like DeNiro 's once promising career and the once grand Long Beach boardwalk |
1 | LRB I RRB t 's certainly laudable that the movie deals with hotbutton issues in a comedic context but Barbershop is n't as funny as it should be |
1 | Unfortunately a cast of competent performers from movies television and the theater are cast adrift in various New York City locations with no unifying rhythm or visual style |
2 | Just entertaining enough not to hate too mediocre to love |
2 | Sophisticated ' viewers who refuse to admit that they do n't like it will likely call it challenging ' to their fellow sophisticates |
0 | Equilibrium the movie as opposed to the manifesto is really really stupid |
1 | Excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic |
1 | The film 's thoroughly recycled plot and tiresome jokes drag the movie down |
1 | It does n't offer audiences any way of gripping what its point is or even its attitude toward its subject |
0 | This kiddieoriented stinker is so bad that I even caught the gum stuck under my seat trying to sneak out of the theater |
1 | Though Impostor deviously adopts the guise of a modern motion picture it too is a bomb |
0 | Cox offers plenty of glimpses at existing photos but there are no movies of Nijinsky so instead the director treats us to an aimless hodgepodge |
1 | Every note rings false |
1 | When the screenwriter responsible for one of the worst movies of one year directs an equally miserable film the following year you 'd have a hard time believing it was just coincidence |
1 | It never rises to its clever whatif concept |
2 | Admirably ambitious but selfindulgent |
1 | This story of unrequited love does n't sustain interest beyond the first halfhour |
1 | This angstridden territory was covered earlier and much better in Ordinary People |
0 | The entire film is one big excuse to play one lewd scene after another |
1 | About half of them are funny a few are sexy and none are useful in telling the story which is paperthin and decidedly unoriginal |
1 | A big loud bangthedrum bore |
0 | LRB Less a movie than RRB an appalling odoriferous thing so rotten in almost every single facet of production that you 'll want to crawl up your own \*\*\* in embarrassment |
3 | The concept behind Kung Pow Enter the Fist is hilarious |
2 | It 's too bad nothing else is |
2 | Hardman is a grating mannered onscreen presence which is especially unfortunate in light of the fine work done by most of the rest of her cast |
1 | El Crimen Del Padre Amaro would likely be most effective if used as a tool to rally antiCatholic protestors |
3 | Interesting and thoroughly unfaithful version of Carmen |
4 | A serious movie with serious ideas |
1 | But seriously folks it does n't work |
1 | There 's nothing exactly wrong here but there 's not nearly enough that 's right |
