0 | Seagal who looks more like Danny Aiello these days mumbles his way through the movie |
1 | The movie is a negligible work of manipulation an exploitation piece doing its usual worst to guilttrip parents |
1 | Lacks dramatic punch and depth |
2 | There are moments of real pleasure to be found in Sara Sugarman 's whimsical comedy Very AnnieMary but not enough to sustain the film |
0 | I can analyze this movie in three words Thumbs Friggin ' Down |
1 | Sadly Garth ' has n't progressed as nicely as Wayne ' |
0 | Make like the title and dodge this one |
0 | This is not one of the movies you 'd want to watch if you only had a week to live |
1 | The first hour is tedious though Ford and Neeson capably hold our interest but its just not a thrilling movie |
1 | Here 's a case of two actors who do everything humanly possible to create characters who are sweet and believable and are defeated by a screenplay that forces them into bizarre implausible behavior |
2 | It 's obvious LRB JeGyu is RRB trying for poetry what he gets instead has all the lyricism of a limerick scrawled in a public restroom |
2 | Sweet Home Alabama is one dumb movie but its stupidity is so relentlessly harmless that it almost wins you over in the end |
1 | LRB Green is RRB the comedy equivalent of Saddam Hussein and I 'm just about ready to go to the UN and ask permission for a preemptive strike |
1 | No amount of good acting is enough to save Oleander 's uninspired story |
0 | A vile incoherent mess a scummy ripoff of David Cronenberg 's brilliant Videodrome ' |
1 | Murphy and Wilson actually make a pretty good team but the project surrounding them is distressingly rote |
2 | Despite its raucous intent XXX is as conventional as a Nike ad and as rebellious as spring break |
0 | Think The Lion King redone for horses with fewer deliberate laughs more inadvertent ones and stunningly trite songs by Bryan Adams the world 's most generic rock star |
2 | It is one more celluloid testimonial to the cruelties experienced by Southern blacks as distilled through a Caucasian perspective |
2 | It 's tough being a black man in America especially when the Man has taken away your car your workhours and denied you health insurance |
1 | A small fortune in salaries and stunt cars might have been saved if the director Tom Dey had spliced together bits and pieces of Midnight Run and Hours LRB and for that matter Shrek RRB |
0 | An amateurish quasiimprovised acting exercise shot on ugly digital video |
1 | The holes in this film remain agape holes punched through by an inconsistent meandering and sometimes dry plot |
0 | Would Benigni 's Italian Pinocchio have been any easier to sit through than this hastily dubbed disaster |
2 | Unofficially National Lampoon 's Van Wilder is Son of Animal House |
1 | Officially it is twice as bestial but half as funny |
0 | This is a fragmented film once a good idea that was followed by the bad idea to turn it into a movie |
3 | Mindless yet impressively lean spinoff of last summer 's bloated effects fest The Mummy Returns |
1 | Halfway through the movie the humor dwindles |
1 | It 's replaced by some dramatic scenes that are jarring and deeply out of place in what could have LRB and probably should have RRB been a lighthearted comedy |
2 | will be far more interesting to the Soderbergh faithful than it will be to the casual moviegoer who might be lured in by Julia Roberts |
2 | Authentic and at times endearing humorous spooky educational but at other times as bland as a block of snow |
0 | ControlAltDelete Simone as quickly as possible |
1 | Follows the original film virtually scene for scene and yet manages to bleed it almost completely dry of humor verve and fun |
2 | The filmmaker ascends literally to the Olympus of the art world but he would have done well to end this flawed dazzling series with the raising of something other than his own cremaster |
2 | The screenplay comes across rather unintentionally as HipHop ScoobyDoo |
1 | Has lost some of the dramatic conviction that underlies the best of comedies |
1 | Vaguely interesting but it 's just too too much |
0 | no charm no laughs no fun no reason to watch |
0 | A generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under set |
0 | Kung Pow seems like some futile concoction that was developed hastily after Oedekerk and his fellow moviemakers got through crashing a college keg party |
1 | Kurys seems intimidated by both her subject matter and the period trappings of this debut venture into the heritage business |
2 | The film virtually chokes on its own selfconsciousness |
1 | A manipulative feminist empowerment tale thinly posing as a serious drama about spousal abuse |
3 | Everything in Maid in Manhattan is exceedingly pleasant designed not to offend |
3 | It goes down easy leaving virtually no aftertaste |
0 | A profoundly stupid affair populating its hackneyed and meanspirited storyline with cardboard characters and performers who value cash above credibility |
0 | pays tribute to heroes the way Julia Roberts hands out awards with phony humility barely camouflaging grotesque narcissism |
1 | Time stands still in more ways that one in Clockstoppers a scifi thriller as lazy as it is interminable |
0 | As a director Eastwood is off his game there 's no real sense of suspense and none of the plot surprises ' are really surprising |
2 | Eccentric enough to stave off doldrums Caruso 's selfconscious debut is also eminently forgettable |
2 | To work love stories require the full emotional involvement and support of a viewer |
2 | That is made almost impossible by events that set the plot in motion |
2 | Although Barbershop boasts some of today 's hottest and hippest acts from the world of television music and standup comedy this movie strangely enough has the outdated swagger of a shameless s blaxploitation shuckandjive sitcom |
1 | A puzzle whose pieces do not fit |
2 | Some are fascinating and others are not and in the end it is almost a good movie |
1 | Would that Greengrass had gone a tad less for grit and a lot more for intelligibility |
2 | The good is very very good The rest runs from mildly unimpressive to despairingly awful |
1 | Butterfingered ' is the word for the bigfisted direction of Jez Butterworth who manages to blast even the smallest sensitivities from the romance with his clamorous approach |
0 | Be forewarned if you 're depressed about anything before watching this film you may just end up trying to drown yourself in a lake afterwards |
0 | a terrible adaptation of a play that only ever walked the delicate tightrope between farcical and loathsome |
1 | In the wrong hands ie Peploe 's it 's simply unbearable |
1 | An inexperienced director Mehta has much to learn |
0 | A limp Eddie Murphy vehicle that even he seems embarrassed to be part of |

1 | A gushy episode of M \* A \* S \* H '' only this time from an Asian perspective |
1 | Looking For Leonard '' just seems to kinda sit in neutral hoping for a stiff wind to blow it uphill or something |
1 | Nothing more than four or five mild chuckles surrounded by minutes of overlyfamiliar and poorlyconstructed comedy |
3 | Definitely in the guilty pleasure Bmovie category Reign of Fire is so incredibly inane that it is laughingly enjoyable |
1 | Goodlooking but relentlessly lowbrow outing plays like Clueless Does South Fork |
1 | entertaining enough but nothing new |
1 | one resurrection too many |
1 | This is a film about the irksome tiresome nature of complacency that remains utterly satisfied to remain the same throughout |
1 | Even as the hero of the story rediscovers his passion in life the mood remains oddly detached |
2 | DeMeo is not without talent he just needs better material |
1 | In spite of featuring a script credited to no fewer than five writers apparently nobody here bothered to check it twice |
0 | No one involved save Dash shows the slightest aptitude for acting and the script credited to director Abdul Malik Abbott and Ernest Tron ' Anderson seems entirely improvised |

2 | This version of HG Wells ' Time Machine was directed by HG Wells ' greatgrandson |
2 | They should have found Orson Welles ' greatgrandson |
1 | Shunji Iwai 's All About Lily Chou Chou is a beautifully shot but ultimately flawed film about growing up in Japan |
1 | With more character development this might have been an eerie thriller with better payoffs it could have been a thinking man 's monster movie |
2 | Thriller directorial debut for Traffic scribe Gaghan has all the right parts but the pieces do n't quite fit together |
2 | would be a total loss if not for two supporting performances taking place at the movie 's edges |
0 | There 's not a single jumpinyourseat moment and believe it or not Jason actually takes a backseat in his own film to special effects |
3 | Goldbacher draws on an elegant visual sense and a talent for easy seductive pacing but she and writing partner Laurence Coriat do n't manage an equally assured narrative coinage |
1 | Though Harris is affecting at times he can not overcome the sense that Pumpkin is a mere plot pawn for two directors with far less endearing disabilities |
0 | The documentary is much too conventional lots of boring talking heads etc to do the subject matter justice |
1 | The movie itself appears to be running on hypertime in reverse as the truly funny bits get further and further apart |
1 | This is not a Jackie Chan movie |
1 | It 's just a movie that happens to have Jackie Chan in it |

1 | The problem with movies about angels is they have a tendency to slip into hokum |
