2,900 | Overall, the movie is a winner that should propel Wiig to a big-time movie career. | positive |
2,901 | A ballsy little number that decided to sit on the fence halfway through and revert back to the usual horror clichs we've become accustomed to over the years. | negative |
2,902 | This movie risks a most interesting mix of intense action, humor, and genuine character development. | positive |
2,903 | A poorly balanced, overlong picture that is neither outrageously funny in its levity nor incredibly awe-inspiring in its action sequences. | negative |
2,904 | Thirty years ago this would have been dismissed as drive-in fare and, frankly, it's not much more than that today. | negative |
2,905 | You've got to admire Springsteen's chutzpah in documenting and cataloguing his creative process with a borderline-Kubrickian obsessiveness long before his reputation warranted it... | positive |
2,906 | Twists become foreseeable and the conflicts are mostly what was predictable. | negative |
2,907 | A bomb rightly considered one of the worst British films ever made. | negative |
2,908 | Stick It may be tough to stick out unless you're a girl between the ages of 11 and 16. | negative |
2,909 | Bad Moms 2 chugs along as entertainment and is quickly forgotten. | positive |
2,910 | Well made and acted, with an effective cinematography, the film is an amoral, pagan, and godless party. [Full Review in Spanish] | positive |
2,911 | Some movies practically dare you to give up. "Aloft" is a beautifully shot, frustratingly vague and deeply ponderous mystery/spiritual journey about terminally unhappy souls. | negative |
2,912 | Hill manages to paint - with tenderness and without judgment - the personality of each of the teenagers. [Full review in Spanish] | positive |
2,913 | Dreary sports drama based on true story has mature themes. | negative |
2,914 | Midway through, an eerier theme creeps in, all the more powerful for Herzog's lack of insistence. By the 'end of the world' he means the end of the world. | positive |
2,915 | Censor is a smart, stylish, unsettling chiller with an irresistible meta twist. | positive |
2,916 | Del Toro has crafted a darker yet equally more emotional version of Pinocchio. It is exquisitely animated with rich textures, gorgeous lighting, and mostly welcome character reinventions. It is absolutely a contender for this year's best animated film. | positive |
2,917 | I liked it because it was so endlessly, grotesquely, inventive. | positive |
2,918 | Jack Nicholson's small-time detective Jake Gittes, like other noir heroes, suffers from a shadowy past and fears: For him, Chinatown is not just a place, but a spiritual landscape and a melancholy, fatalistic state of mind. | positive |
2,919 | The dialogue is witty, the situations the lovable characters find themselves in amusing, and the direction maintains a Monty Python-esque vibe of ridiculous yet charming the whole way through. | positive |
2,920 | There is surprisingly little emotional impact from such an incredible story. | negative |
2,921 | Allen's script is, again, a mess, a first draft that needed at least a couple more passes through his legendary Olympia typewriter; his dialogue, which used to be such a pleasure to listen to, has become almost unbearable in its awkward clumsiness. | negative |
2,922 | So while Macdonald manages to come up with one of the most impressively brutal cut-to-black endings in recent memory, the rest of this feature cannot hope to match the power of his cast. | negative |
2,923 | It's an animated feature bursting with life. Turning Red explores important messaging on puberty, sexual repression, and culture clashes along with Pixar's infectious spin. | positive |
2,924 | let your mind go, forgive the wear and tear of time and enjoy the adventure | positive |
2,925 | The trippy last hour is jam packed with artfully arranged action scenes that manipulate time in increasingly psychedelic ways. | positive |
2,926 | A movie that ultimately has more cult than mass appeal, how much you enjoy Bad Lieutenant will probably come down to how much you like Werner Herzog rather than Nicolas Cage. A notoriously eccentric director, his latest film is nowhere near as mainstream | positive |
2,927 | In Taken, an excruciating atavism of a movie, father knows best in the worst way -- and he's ready to enforce it, come hell or high melodrama. | negative |
2,928 | The Three Marias is thoroughly 'an eye for an eye' biblical revenge drama. | negative |
2,929 | At 210 minutes, some might wish Peter Jackson had been just a mite less enchanted by the Tolkien mythology, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. | positive |
2,930 | The cast, on the whole, creates believable characters in an unbelievable situation. | positive |
2,931 | ...a complicated and not altogether successful rumination on identity, technology, terrorism and the nature of truth. | positive |
2,932 | MOTHER'S DAY is the worst kind of romantic comedy. It's soulless, uninspired and void of any real laughs. | negative |
2,933 | It's a product of a dangerous sort of tunnel vision that afflicts a number of documentarians these days. | negative |
2,934 | An appealing celebration of a musical artist who can literally sing anything and knock your socks off. | positive |
2,935 | Co-directors Benson and Moorhead cleverly maintain the likelihood of this most unlikely of holiday romances, taking their time to let the narrative breathe and flow. | positive |
2,936 | Just another woman in peril saga you'd see every night on bad TV. The whole sci-fi angle never really reaches the surface. | negative |
2,937 | Como curiosidade sobre os bastidores da jovem Hollywood, o filme funciona muito bem. Pena que a histria de amor entre Ameche e Faye atrapalhe um pouco. | positive |
2,938 | Slick. Stylish. Creative. Original. Beyond cool. A new day has dawned in the genre with Daybreakers. | positive |
2,939 | It cries from and for the hearts of victims and leaves its viewers moved, shattered, outraged. And impotent in the face of the ugliness visited on the souls of good and innocent people. | positive |
2,940 | The third film exists primarily as a glib, referential monument to the whole stupid enterprise. | negative |
2,941 | It's terribly cast, poorly conceived, extremely light on action, features a romance that is not remotely romantic, doesn't feature a single memorable, "gosh, that was great" repeat-to-your-friends moment in a positive way... | negative |
2,942 | Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane ... no, it's the biggest turkey of the year, featuring a would-be Superman so wooden he might as well be acting in a pine box lined in kryptonite. | negative |
2,943 | ...long, actionless, and slow...annoying and inscrutable...There were a couple of things good about it, however. Samantha Morton gives a fine performance...and the cinematography of late 19th Century Ireland is rewarding. | negative |
2,944 | As usual with this genre, there's no story; the Wayanses simply pummel the audience with gag after gag. | negative |
2,945 | Don't bother seeing this; just buy a few albums of music by Tchaikovsky and let it go at that. | negative |
2,946 | The effects are amazing and fans will enjoy the references to the comics, but the film is something of a disappointment overall because it tries to do too much. | positive |
2,947 | Highly entertaining but ludicrous fantasy sci-fi film set in the 19th century. | positive |
2,948 | Despite its slickness, virility, occasional humor and, if it may be repeated, authentic professional approach, it is well-made but awfully familiar fare. | positive |
2,949 | A poorly fit project for Roth who simply doesn't have the skill to invoke a lot of the nostalgic Amblin qualities that he allegedly aims for. | negative |
2,950 | A solid thriller grounded by its compelling, human protagonist. | positive |
2,951 | With a whopping fifteen Academy Award nominations on her resume', and an almost guaranteed number sixteen thanks to her performance here, she (Streep) continues to amaze. | positive |
2,952 | Even if it doesn't convince us they're likely to conquer death before it comes for them, the film does prompt interesting debates about just how desirable an unlimited stay on Planet Earth would be. | positive |
2,953 | For devotees of gonad cinema, there may not be a better time to be had at the movies right now than the first 20-ish minutes of Seraphim Falls. | positive |
2,954 | Unfortunately, Provost mostly avoids Leduc's substantial literary contribution in favor of depicting her life solely through her friends and mentors, and her mother Berthe with whom she had a dysfunctional relationship. | negative |
2,955 | It's sometimes funny, often silly but never really transcendent, though the same could probably be said of the original, as well. | positive |
2,956 | An effective, but little-known action-thriller about a military-training exercise taken too far by a crazy commanding officer. | positive |
2,957 | Apocalypse Now did help provide me, and many of my generation, with a vision of what film art could achieve, a vision so magnificent it doomed us to spend much of our subsequent moviegoing lives in a funk. | positive |
2,958 | What emerges, finally, is an urgent distress call from one of America's many, predominately black inner cities cast adrift by decades of municipal neglect and institutional racism. | positive |
2,959 | If The Crow is forgettable entertainment, it can stand as an eerie epitaph for an actor who looked like he was on the way to better things. | negative |
2,960 | There's little here to titillate or inform us. | negative |
2,961 | Has two advantages over rival Space Chimps: it's marginally smarter and in 3-freaking-D. These are watery compliments for a pleasant, unassuming film. | negative |
2,962 | Much has been made of the absence of Bond's signature quips, but there's something else that's absent: interest. | negative |
2,963 | Like watching an episode of TV reality show Big Brother crossed with American Psycho . . . | negative |
2,964 | Trouble the Water, along with Spike Lee's extraordinary four-hour epic, When the Levees Broke, remains one of the most eloquent records we have of a tragedy that brought out some of the most impressively alive men and women in New O | positive |
2,965 | Skull Island, for a lot of reasons, shouldn't work-until, suddenly, it does. (Splice Today) | positive |
2,966 | Reduces a potentially fascinating film into merely another cautionary story about a self-absorbed celebrity-junkie-whore. | negative |
2,967 | It is shattering, devastating and unforgettable. Jane Alexander deserves an Oscar for her performance as the mother of the family. | positive |
2,968 | The dark twisted humour of two little boys really did tickle my slightly deviant funny bone and I found myself thoroughly enjoying this southland romp. | positive |
2,969 | Could have made a nice short film, but it tries viewers' patience by having the story stretched to over an hour and a half with little happening. | negative |
2,970 | The charm of the film is in some individual performances and musical numbers. | positive |
2,971 | It's a tad inconsequential, but Travis Mathews offers a believable slice of San Franciscan life with his graphic debut feature. | positive |
2,972 | It's possible this sub-"Three's Company" level farce will hit you harder in the funny bone than it did me, but I think as a film, it's just sort of a grand mess, regardless of if it's funny or not. | negative |
2,973 | Look, I'm not saying it makes sense, but Cruella kinda rocks. It has no business being this fun, but a delightful surprise for sure. | positive |
2,974 | Last time Swankatron went a-courting awards, she did so with the amazing Million Dollar Baby. But this biopic of legendary pilot Amelia Earhart is a hundred times blander. | negative |
2,975 | [An] illuminating, frightening and amusing film. | positive |
2,976 | Alternating between slapstick satire and black comedy, A Private Function is full meal of comic study and insight. | positive |
2,977 | Little did Elizabeth know that after starring in the spoof Scary Movie, she'd soon find herself in another parody of bad horror films -- one that doesn't know it is one. | negative |
2,978 | The filmmakers have found a way to refresh our eyes and enhance our appreciation for this rich, amazing creation. | positive |
2,979 | The movie shifts so quickly into clich, and then morphs into a poorly conceived and bleakly misanthropic morality tale. | negative |
2,980 | The War With Grandpa is a fairly by-the-numbers, all-ages comedy that offers a few moments of genuine hilarity amidst baffling dramatic scenes. | positive |
2,981 | You may be pleasantly surprised by how affected you are by the small kindnesses the boy finds... And you may be absolutely shocked at how moved you are when finally, gratefully, Carlitos' journey comes to a joyful end. | positive |
2,982 | The similarities between this doomsday adventure and Michael Bay's overblown Armageddon are too numerous to ignore; the crucial difference is that this one is actually pretty good. | positive |
2,983 | It's the rare summer spectacle that, tacked-on coda notwithstanding, might actually warrant repeat viewings. | positive |
2,984 | Aspires to be a self-actualization session for stifled wives, a plea for gay rights, a Holocaust story and a class in pastry appreciation, all at once... | negative |
2,985 | Wimbledon is convinced that there's nothing funnier in the world than seeing a grown man have a conversation with a dog. | negative |
2,986 | In their first masterpiece, the Coens first delight with sheer kinetics, then dazzle with colorful colloquialisms & verbal voodoo, and eventually disarm you with the grace and guile through which they examine modern foibles, failures and forgiveness. | positive |
2,987 | Even his [Brendan Fraser] unblemished commitment to the role can't redeem this intimate behind-doors drama from excessive pathos and an inordinately staged posture that makes it less genuine than it was supposed to. | negative |
2,988 | While Just Go With It never descends into full-on unfunniness -- the absurd interjections of Nick Swardson as a German sheep trader named Dolph Lundgren see to that -- it seriously struggles to draw laughs consistently. | negative |
2,989 | The story could use a little tightening in places where the pace slackens, but overall this is a lovely debut. It's an homage to Montiel's family and old friends, and to the ghost of his old self. | positive |
2,990 | The most shocking thing about New In Town is the sheer lack of care that seems to have gone into it. It's as if a terrible TV script has been pulled out of a dusty drawer and padded out into a movie. | negative |
2,991 | Big and raw, it also feels slightly rambling, perhaps trying to tell too much in one go | positive |
2,992 | A marvel of vérité nightmare atmosphere. | positive |
2,993 | Hail the brilliant, astonishing Christian Bale. He's the only actor currently acting in movies. Bale makes a huge commitment to all his characters. | positive |
2,994 | The power couple's onscreen chemistry, which should be the film's strongest calling card, is merely adequate, a major disappointment for those expecting a tug o' war between screen titans. | negative |
2,995 | What Yan and Hodson accomplish with Birds of Prey is the balance that's sometimes lacking in comic book films: They fulfill both the demands of the story and the demands of the characters. | positive |
2,996 | Far superior to the 1934 Robert Donat version, like the book itself, the 2002 version of Monte Cristo is certain to become a classic for the ages. | positive |
2,997 | As debuts go The Cured is a strong one, and I'm curious to see what Freyne has up his sleeve next. But while I do feel like those intrigued by the scenario will be satisfied, for my part I still couldn't help but want more. | negative |
2,998 | A smart and empathetic portrait of the African-American community's struggle with the issue of same-sex marriage | positive |
2,999 | Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a lively and vibrant picture. Chadwick Boseman is on a whole other level here and a force of nature. | positive |
