Blue Crush '' is the phenomenal , water-born cinematography by David Hennings
Blue Crush , a late-summer surfer girl entry , should be as entertaining as it is
Blue Crush delivers what it promises , just not well enough to recommend it .
Blue Crush follows the formula , but throws in too many conflicts to keep the story compelling .
Blue Crush has all the trappings of an energetic , extreme-sports adventure , but ends up more of a creaky `` Pretty Woman '' retread , with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and big-wave surfing that gives pic its title an afterthought .

I for one enjoyed the thrill of the chill
I found The Ring moderately absorbing , largely for its elegantly colorful look and sound .
I found What Time ? to be more engaging on an emotional level , funnier , and on the whole less detached
I found it intriguing , bizarre , Dogma-like in spots - and quite truthful , in its way
I found it slow , predictable and not very amusing .

I found myself finally unmoved by this film , which is immaculately produced and has serious things to say
I found myself finally unmoved by this film , which is immaculately produced and has serious things to say , is that it comes across rather too plainly as allegory .
I found myself growing more and more frustrated and detached as Vincent became more and more abhorrent .
I found myself howling more than cringing
I found myself strangely moved by even the corniest and most hackneyed contrivances .
I found myself struggling to put my finger on that elusive `` missing thing . ''
I found the movie as divided against itself as the dysfunctional family it portrays .
I found the proceedings a little bit too conventional .
I guarantee that no wise men will be following after it
I guess I come from a broken family , and
I guess a space station in the year 2455 can be crossed off the list of ideas for the inevitable future sequels ( hey , don't shoot the messenger ) .
I guess it just goes to show that if you give a filmmaker an unlimited amount of phony blood , nothing good can happen .

Jacquot's rendering of Puccini's tale of devotion and double-cross
Jacquot's rendering of Puccini's tale of devotion and double-cross is more than just a filmed opera . In his first stab at the form , Jacquot takes a slightly anarchic approach that works only sporadically .
Jacquot's strategy allows his cast the benefit of being able to give full performances ... while demonstrating vividly that the beauty and power of the opera reside primarily in the music itself .
Jacquot had left well enough alone and just filmed the opera without all these distortions of perspective
Jacquot has filmed the opera exactly as the libretto directs , ideally capturing the opera's drama and lyricism .
Jacquot preserves Tosca's intoxicating ardor through his use of the camera .
Jacquot seems unsure of how to evoke any sort of naturalism on the set .

Smith's point is simple and obvious -- people's homes are extensions of themselves , and particularly eccentric people have particularly eccentric living spaces -- but his subjects are charmers
Smith examines the intimate , unguarded moments of folks who live in unusual homes -- which pop up in nearly every corner of the country .
Smith finds amusing juxtapositions that justify his exercise .
Smith is careful not to make fun of these curious owners of architectural oddities . Instead , he shows them the respect they are due .

and that shading is what makes it worthwhile .
and that they know their roles so well
and the challenges of friendships between women
and the choking sense of hollow despair
and the desperate struggle
and the dialogue is realistic and greatly moving . The scope of the Silberstein family
and the director's well-known narrative gamesmanship
and the droll scene-stealing wit and wolfish pessimism of Anna Chancellor that makes this '' Two Weddings and a Funeral '' fun
and the entrancing music of Philip Glass
and the era is recreated with obvious affection , scored to perfection with some tasty boogaloo beats .
and the experience is profound . The Hours is what movies are supposed to be ...
and the film uses humour to make its points about acceptance and growth .
and the humor and humanity that root it in feeling
and the inimitable Walken especially
and the music is simply sublime .
and the performances of the young players are utterly convincing .
and the pleasures of over-the-top love
and the preteen girls who worship Lil ' Bow Wow
and the sometimes bad choices
and the thinness of its characterizations makes it a failure as straight drama . '
and the trio's absorbing narrative is a heart-wrenching showcase indeed .
and their screen rapport makes the old story seem new .
and thematically moving
and then only as a very mild rental
and then some . I haven't seen one in so long , no wonder I didn't recognize it at first .
and there's no denying the talent of the creative forces behind it .

and yet -- unlike Quills -- deftly shows us the temper of the times
and yet completely familiar
and yet it has been made with great evident care and manages to deliver up the man in a way to arouse further curiosity in even the most unknowing viewer .

and you'll be taking a risk if you choose to see it .
and you'll want to slap them .

he waters it down , turning grit and vulnerability into light reading
he went back to school to check out the girls -- his film is a frat boy's idea of a good time
he were stripped of most of his budget and all of his sense of humor
he will once again be an honest and loving one
he would have done well to end this flawed , dazzling series with the raising of something other than his own cremaster

in trying to be daring and original , it comes off as only occasionally satirical and never fresh .
in trying to capture the novel's deeper intimate resonances , the film has -- ironically - distanced us from the characters

in what's supposed to be a comedy

in which a bunch of pompous windbags drone on inanely for two hours
in which a guy dressed as a children's party clown gets violently gang-raped
in which a guy dressed as a children's party clown gets violently gang-raped ?
in which a high school swimming pool substitutes for a bathtub
in which a renowned filmmaker attempts to show off his talent by surrounding himself with untalented people
in which a sultry evening or a beer-fueled afternoon in the sun can inspire even the most retiring heart to venture forth
in which an ominous , pervasive , and unknown threat lurks just below the proceedings and adds an almost constant mindset of suspense
in which children on both sides of the ever-escalating conflict have their say away from watchful parental eyes ,
in which fear and frustration are provoked to intolerable levels
in which he would cut out figures from drawings and photographs and paste them together
in which it studiously avoids provoking thought
in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn 'em powerment
in which most of the characters forget their lines
in which opposites attract for no better reason than that the screenplay demands it
in which special effects overpower cogent story-telling and visual clarity during the big action sequences
in which the hero might have an opportunity to triumphantly sermonize
in which the kids in the house will be gored
in which the rest of the cast was outshined by LL Cool J.
in which the script and characters hold sway
in which the slack execution italicizes the absurdity of the premise
in which the talent is undeniable
in which this fascinating -- and timely -- content comes wrapped
in which two not very absorbing characters are engaged in a romance
in which underdogs beat the odds and the human spirit triumphs

it pays earnest homage to turntablists and beat jugglers , old schoolers and current innovators
it plainly has no business going
it plays everything too safe
it plays like a big-budget , after-school special with a generous cast , who at times lift the material from its well-meaning clunkiness .
it plays like a powerful 1957 drama we've somehow never seen before
it plays like a reading from bartlett's familiar quotations

it seems as if each watered down the version of the one before

it seems most likely that Broomfield's interviewees , or even himself , will not be for much longer

it suffers from too much Norma Rae and not enough Pretty Woman
it suits the script
it summons more spirit and bite than your average formulaic romantic quadrangle
it surprised me how much pleasure I had watching McGrath's version .
it surrenders to a formulaic bang-bang , shoot-em-up scene at the conclusion

it takes an abrupt turn into glucose sentimentality and laughable contrivance
it takes chances that are bold by studio standards
it takes its techniques into such fresh territory that the film never feels derivative
it takes itself too seriously
it takes off in totally unexpected directions and keeps on going
it takes to describe how bad it is
it takes us on a roller-coaster ride from innocence to experience without even a hint of that typical kiddie-flick sentimentality .
it takes what worked last time , repeats it and adds more characters , more stunts , more stuff in attempt to camouflage its sameness .

it would be sleazy and fun
it would be very possible for a reasonably intelligent person to sit through its tidal wave of imagery and not get this vision at all
it would count for very little if the movie weren't as beautifully shaped and as delicately calibrated in tone as it is
it would fit Chan like a $ 99 bargain-basement special .
it would have become a camp adventure , one of those movies that's so bad it starts to become good .
it would have been better off dead .
it would have been called The Hills Have Antlers and played for about three weeks in drive-ins .
it would have been groundbreaking .
it would have just gone more over-the-top instead of trying to have it both ways
it would have worked so much better dealing in only one reality
it wouldn't exist without the precedent of Yiddish theater , whose jolly , fun-for-fun's - sake communal spirit goes to the essence of Broadway

that it's tempting just to go with it for the ride
that it's the butt of its own joke
that it's the equal of some of its predecessors

that movie nothing
that movie nothing more than a tepid exercise in
that movie was pretty bad
that much . Each scene immediately succumbs to gravity and plummets to earth
