0 | There 's a scientific law to be discerned here that producers would be well to heed Mediocre movies start to drag as soon as the action speeds up when the explosions start they fall to pieces |
1 | A cockeyed shot all the way |
1 | Lush and beautifully photographed LRB somebody suggested the stills might make a nice coffee table book RRB but ultimately you 'll leave the theater wondering why these people mattered |
0 | Unfortunately One Hour Photo lives down to its title |
0 | Thanks largely to Williams all the interesting developments are processed in minutes the rest is just an overexposed waste of film |
0 | Cold Sterile And Lacking Any Color Or Warmth |
1 | The film is undone by anachronistic quick edits and occasional jarring glimpses of a modern theater audience watching the events unfold |
1 | Seems like someone going through the motions |
1 | For a film about explosions and death and spies Ballistic Ecks vs Sever '' seems as safe as a children 's film |
1 | Well in some of those the mother deer even dies |
2 | Wallace gets a bit heavy handed with his message at times and has a visual flair that waxes poetic far too much for our taste |
2 | Impostor does n't do much with its template despite a remarkably strong cast |
2 | Wraps itself in the guise of a dark and quirky comedy but it is n't as quirky as it thinks it is and its comedy is generally meanspirited |
1 | Choppy overlong documentary about The Lifestyle ' |
0 | One sloughs one 's way through the mire of this alleged psychological thriller in search of purpose or even a plot |
1 | A film which presses familiar Herzog tropes into the service of a limpid and conventional historical fiction when really what we demand of the director is to be mesmerised |
2 | It 's a fanboy what if ' |
3 | brought to life on the big screen |
1 | The story itself is actually quite vapid |
1 | It 's a hellish numbing experience to watch and it does n't offer any insights that have n't been thoroughly debated in the media already back in the Dahmer heyday of the mid 's |
2 | Wait for pay per view or rental but do n't dismiss BarberShop out of hand |
1 | A few zingers aside the writing is indifferent and Jordan Brady 's direction is prosaic |
1 | Each scene drags underscoring the obvious and sentiment is slathered on top |
0 | Would 've been nice if the screenwriters had trusted audiences to understand a complex story and left off the film 's predictable denouement |
2 | Then Nadia 's birthday might not have been such a bad day after all |
2 | One of those staggeringly wellproduced joylessly extravagant pictures that keep whooshing you from one visual marvel to the next hastily emptily |
0 | Nair just does n't have the necessary selfcontrol to guide a loose poorly structured film through the pitfalls of incoherence and redundancy |
3 | Enthusiastically taking up the current teen movie concern with bodily functions Walt Becker 's film pushes all the demographically appropriate comic buttons |
4 | It 's the funniest American comedy since Graffiti Bridge |
1 | That neither protagonist has a distinguishable condition hardly matters because both are just actory concoctions defined by childlike dimness and a handful of quirks |
0 | What starts off as a possible Argentine American Beauty reeks like a room stacked with pungent flowers |
0 | The project 's filmmakers forgot to include anything even halfway scary as they poorly rejigger Fatal Attraction into a high school setting |
1 | In oldfashioned screenwriting parlance Ms Shreve 's novel proved too difficult a text to lick ' despite the efforts of a firstrate cast |
1 | Solondz may well be the only one laughing at his own joke |
0 | Stitch is a bad mannered ugly and destructive little \*\*\*\* |
0 | No cute factor here Not that I mind ugly the problem is he has no character loveable or otherwise |
0 | Deep down I realized the harsh reality of my situation I would leave the theater with a lower IQ than when I had entered |
2 | A really funny fifteenminute short stretched beyond its limits to fill an almost featurelength film |
0 | Aside from the fact that the film idiotically uses the website feardotcomcom or the improperly hammy performance from poor Stephen Rea the film gets added disdain for the fact that it is nearly impossible to look at or understand |
1 | It is bad but certainly not without merit as entertainment |
0 | For its minutes running time you 'll wait in vain for a movie to happen |
0 | A work that lacks both a purpose and a strong pulse |
3 | A faster paced family flick |
1 | Upper Teens may get cynical |
3 | Smaller numbered kidlets will enjoy |
1 | While this film has an A ' list cast and some strong supporting players the tale like its central figure Vivi is just a little bit hard to love |
0 | It 's a roadtrip drama with too many wrong turns |
1 | Most fish stories are a little peculiar but this is one that should be thrown back in the river |
2 | It 's all gratuitous before long as if Schwentke were fulfilling a grossout quota for an anticipated audience demographic instead of shaping the material to fit the story |
2 | I blame all men for war '' LRB the warden 's daughter RRB tells her father |
1 | The movie is about as deep as that sentiment |
2 | It 's fitfully funny but never really takes off |
1 | I 've seen some bad singerturned actors but Lil Bow Wow takes the cake |
3 | By halfway through this picture I was beginning to hate it and of course feeling guilty for it Then miracle of miracles the movie does a flipflop |
2 | For all the complications it 's all surprisingly predictable |
2 | It 's been years since Hrs |
3 | made Eddie Murphy a movie star and the man has n't aged a day |
2 | But his showboating wisecracker stock persona sure is getting old |
2 | If Deuces Wild had been tweaked up a notch it would have become a camp adventure one of those movies that 's so bad it starts to become good |
1 | But it was n't |
1 | For a film about action Ultimate X is the gabbiest giantscreen movie ever bogging down in a barrage of hype |
1 | a low rate Annie featuring some kid who ca n't act only echoes of Jordan and weirdo actor Crispin Glover screwing things up old school |
0 | It might not be s animation but everything else about it is straight from the Saturday morning cartoons a retread story bad writing and the same old silliness |
1 | The picture seems uncertain whether it wants to be an acidic allmale All About Eve or a lush swooning melodrama in the Intermezzo strain |
1 | A nearly \/ hours the film is way too indulgent |
1 | Gorgeous to look at but insufferably tedious and turgid a curiously constricted epic |
2 | It looks much more like a cartoon in the end than The Simpsons ever has |
1 | With a tighter editorial process and firmer direction this material could work especially since the actresses in the lead roles are all more than competent but as is Personal Velocity seems to be idling in neutral |
1 | Does n't really add up to much |
1 | It 's better suited for the history or biography channel but there 's no arguing the tone of the movie it leaves a bad taste in your mouth and questions on your mind |
1 | An entertainment so in love with its overinflated mythology that it no longer recognizes the needs of moviegoers for real characters and compelling plots |
1 | A prolonged extrusion of psychopathic pulp |
1 | Borrows from other movies like it in the most ordinary and obvious fashion |
1 | It 's surprisingly bland despite the heavy doses of weird performances and direction |
0 | A chilly remote emotionally distant piece so dull that its tagline should be In space no one can hear you snore ' |
1 | The characters seem onedimensional and the film is superficial and will probably be of interest primarily to its target audience |
1 | Sorvino makes the princess seem smug and cartoonish and the film only really comes alive when poor Hermocrates and Leontine pathetically compare notes about their budding amours |
1 | It 's like a driveby |
1 | You can drive right by it without noticing anything special save for a few comic turns intended and otherwise |
1 | Everything even life on an aircraft carrier is sentimentalized |
0 | This wouldbe James Bond for the Extreme Generation ' pic is one big dumb action movie |
1 | Stress dumb ' |
2 | The movie has generic virtues and despite a lot of involved talent seems done by the numbers |
1 | When your subject is illusion versus reality should n't the reality seem at least passably real |
0 | It 's a terrible movie in every regard and utterly painful to watch |
0 | This is rote spookiness with nary an original idea LRB or role or edit or score or anything really RRB in sight and the whole of the proceedings beg the question Why ' |
1 | A fan film that for the uninitiated plays better on video with the sound turned down |
1 | Too infuriatingly quirky and taken with its own style |
1 | There 's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight comingofage\/comingout tale |
3 | As much as I laughed throughout the movie I can not mount a cogent defense of the film as entertainment or even performance art although the movie does leave you marveling at these guys ' superhuman capacity to withstand pain |
1 | The type of dumbeddown exercise in stereotypes that gives the LRB teen comedy RRB genre a bad name |
0 | Distinctly subpar more likely to drown a viewer in boredom than to send any shivers down his spine |
0 | Plays like a bad blend of an overripe episode of TV 's Dawson 's Creek and a recycled and dumbeddown version of Love Story |
1 | Unless you come in to the film with a skateboard under your arm you 're going to feel like you were n't invited to the party |
1 | When the casting call for this movie went out it must have read seeking anyone with acting ambition but no sense of pride or shame ' |
1 | Just is n't as weird as it ought to be |
1 | A Home Alone '' film that is staged like Rosemary 's Baby '' but is not as wellconceived as either of those films |
1 | LRB Siegel RRB and cowriters Lisa Bazadona and Grace Woodard have relied too much on convention in creating the characters who surround Frankie |
0 | No film could possibly be more contemptuous of the single female population |
2 | Hey Arnold ' |
