despite the evocative aesthetics evincing the hollow state of modern love life , the film never percolates beyond a monotonous whine .

0negative

while its careful pace and seemingly opaque story may not satisfy every moviegoer 's appetite , the film 's final scene is soaringly , transparently moving .

1positive

the experience of going to a film festival is a rewarding one ; the experiencing of sampling one through this movie is not .

0negative

a moody , multi-dimensional love story and sci-fi mystery , solaris is a thought-provoking , haunting film that allows the seeds of the imagination to germinate .

1positive

the movie is n't just hilarious : it 's witty and inventive , too , and in hindsight , it is n't even all that dumb .

1positive

a difficult , absorbing film that manages to convey more substance despite its repetitions and inconsistencies than do most films than are far more pointed and clear .

1positive

the movie is beautiful to behold and engages one in a sense of epic struggle -- inner and outer -- that 's all too rare in hollywood 's hastier productions .

1positive

by candidly detailing the politics involved in the creation of an extraordinary piece of music , ( jones ) calls our attention to the inherent conflict between commerce and creativity .

1positive

this tenth feature is a big deal , indeed -- at least the third-best , and maybe even a notch above the previous runner-up , nicholas meyer 's star trek vi : the undiscovered country .

1positive

mcconaughey 's fun to watch , the dragons are okay , not much fire in the script .

1positive

a valueless kiddie paean to pro basketball underwritten by the nba .

without non-stop techno or the existential overtones of a kieslowski morality tale , maelström is just another winter sleepers .

0negative

awesome creatures , breathtaking scenery , and epic battle scenes add up to another ` spectacular spectacle . '

1positive

the vivid lead performances sustain interest and empathy , but the journey is far more interesting than the final destination .

american chai encourages rueful laughter at stereotypes only an indian-american would recognize .

0negative

irwin is a man with enough charisma and audacity to carry a dozen films , but this particular result is ultimately held back from being something greater .

0negative

it all drags on so interminably it 's like watching a miserable relationship unfold in real time .

0negative

for the most part , it 's a work of incendiary genius , steering clear of knee-jerk reactions and quick solutions .

1positive

it 's fascinating to see how bettany and mcdowell play off each other .

1positive

director andrew niccol ... demonstrates a wry understanding of the quirks of fame .

1positive

manages to be both repulsively sadistic and mundane .

0negative

if you 're hard up for raunchy college humor , this is your ticket right here .

1positive

worth watching for dong jie 's performance -- and for the way it documents a culture in the throes of rapid change .

1positive

there 's something auspicious , and daring , too , about the artistic instinct that pushes a majority-oriented director like steven spielberg to follow a.i. with this challenging report so liable to unnerve the majority .

1positive

jones ... does offer a brutal form of charisma .

1positive

the script is n't very good ; not even someone as gifted as hoffman ( the actor ) can make it work .

0negative

byler reveals his characters in a way that intrigues and even fascinates us , and he never reduces the situation to simple melodrama .

1positive

something like scrubbing the toilet .

0negative

still , as a visual treat , the film is almost unsurpassed .

1positive

it 's another video movie photographed like a film , with the bad lighting that 's often written off as indie film naturalism .

0negative

i can take infantile humor ... but this is the sort of infantile that makes you wonder about changing the director and writer 's diapers .

0negative

the action switches between past and present , but the material link is too tenuous to anchor the emotional connections that purport to span a 125-year divide .

0negative

i 'm just too bored to care .

0negative

more romantic , more emotional and ultimately more satisfying than the teary-eyed original .

1positive

corpus collosum -- while undeniably interesting -- wore out its welcome well before the end credits rolled about 45 minutes in .

0negative

my big fat greek wedding uses stereotypes in a delightful blend of sweet romance and lovingly dished out humor .

1positive

hardly a masterpiece , but it introduces viewers to a good charitable enterprise and some interesting real people .

1positive

not only are the special effects and narrative flow much improved , and daniel radcliffe more emotionally assertive this time around as harry , but the film conjures the magic of author j.k. rowling 's books .

1positive

the movie has an infectious exuberance that will engage anyone with a passing interest in the skate/surf culture , the l.a. beach scene and the imaginative ( and sometimes illegal ) ways kids can make a playground out of the refuse of adults .

1positive

drops you into a dizzying , volatile , pressure-cooker of a situation that quickly snowballs out of control , while focusing on the what much more than the why .

1positive

i 'll bet the video game is a lot more fun than the film .

0negative

it has all the excitement of eating oatmeal .

0negative

like being trapped at a perpetual frat party ... how can something so gross be so boring ?

0negative

a by-the-numbers effort that wo n't do much to enhance the franchise .

0negative

the so-inept - it 's - surreal dubbing ( featuring the voices of glenn close , regis philbin and breckin meyer ) brings back memories of cheesy old godzilla flicks .

0negative

dragonfly has no atmosphere , no tension -- nothing but costner , flailing away .

0negative

the man from elysian fields is a cold , bliss-less work that groans along thinking itself some important comment on how life throws us some beguiling curves .

0negative

( chaiken 's ) talent lies in an evocative , accurate observation of a distinctive milieu and in the lively , convincing dialogue she creates for her characters .

1positive

a lean , deftly shot , well-acted , weirdly retro thriller that recalls a raft of '60s and '70s european-set spy pictures .

1positive

unflinchingly bleak and desperate

0negative

stultifyingly , dumbfoundingly , mind-numbingly bad .

0negative

as vulgar as it is banal .

0negative

while undisputed is n't exactly a high , it is a gripping , tidy little movie that takes mr. hill higher than he 's been in a while .

1positive

offers very little genuine romance and even fewer laughs ... a sad sitcom of a movie , largely devoid of charm .

0negative

here 's yet another studio horror franchise mucking up its storyline with glitches casual fans could correct in their sleep .

0negative

so devoid of any kind of intelligible story that it makes films like xxx and collateral damage seem like thoughtful treatises

0negative

good film , but very glum .

1positive

the second coming of harry potter is a film far superior to its predecessor .

1positive

challenging , intermittently engrossing and unflaggingly creative .

1positive

an operatic , sprawling picture that 's entertainingly acted , magnificently shot and gripping enough to sustain most of its 170-minute length .

1positive

does n't offer much besides glib soullessness , raunchy language and a series of brutal set pieces ... that raise the bar on stylized screen violence .

0negative

nicks , seemingly uncertain what 's going to make people laugh , runs the gamut from stale parody to raunchy sex gags to formula romantic comedy .

0negative

there has always been something likable about the marquis de sade .

1positive

there is a fabric of complex ideas here , and feelings that profoundly deepen them .

1positive

it 's too bad that the helping hand he uses to stir his ingredients is also a heavy one .

0negative

it 's like every bad idea that 's ever gone into an after-school special compiled in one place , minus those daytime programs ' slickness and sophistication ( and who knew they even had any ? ) .

0negative

for each chuckle there are at least 10 complete misses , many coming from the amazingly lifelike tara reid , whose acting skills are comparable to a cardboard cutout .

0negative

one of creepiest , scariest movies to come along in a long , long time , easily rivaling blair witch or the others .

1positive

a coda in every sense , the pinochet case splits time between a minute-by-minute account of the british court 's extradition chess game and the regime 's talking-head survivors .

1positive

maud and roland 's search for an unknowable past makes for a haunting literary detective story , but labute pulls off a neater trick in possession : he makes language sexy .

1positive

reggio 's continual visual barrage is absorbing as well as thought-provoking .

1positive

but it 's too long and too convoluted and it ends in a muddle .

0negative

so unremittingly awful that labeling it a dog probably constitutes cruelty to canines .

0negative

it 's slow -- very , very slow .

0negative

forced , familiar and thoroughly condescending .

0negative

it 's the chemistry between the women and the droll scene-stealing wit and wolfish pessimism of anna chancellor that makes this `` two weddings and a funeral '' fun .

1positive

the band 's courage in the face of official repression is inspiring , especially for aging hippies ( this one included ) .

if you 've ever entertained the notion of doing what the title of this film implies , what sex with strangers actually shows may put you off the idea forever .

0negative

you do n't have to know about music to appreciate the film 's easygoing blend of comedy and romance .

1positive

at its best , queen is campy fun like the vincent price horror classics of the '60s .

1positive

while it 's genuinely cool to hear characters talk about early rap records ( sugar hill gang , etc. ) , the constant referencing of hip-hop arcana can alienate even the savviest audiences .

0negative

dazzling in its complexity , disturbing for its extraordinary themes , the piano teacher is a film that defies categorisation .

1positive

it treats women like idiots .

0negative

the far future may be awesome to consider , but from period detail to matters of the heart , this film is most transporting when it stays put in the past .

1positive

sticky sweet sentimentality , clumsy plotting and a rosily myopic view of life in the wwii-era mississippi delta undermine this adaptation .

0negative

what the film lacks in general focus it makes up for in compassion , as corcuera manages to find the seeds of hope in the form of collective action .

1positive

no one but a convict guilty of some truly heinous crime should have to sit through the master of disguise .

0negative

it takes talent to make a lifeless movie about the most heinous man who ever lived .

0negative

even in its most tedious scenes , russian ark is mesmerizing .

1positive

a by-the-numbers patient/doctor pic that covers all the usual ground

0negative

not since tom cruise in risky business has an actor made such a strong impression in his underwear .

1positive

at the very least , if you do n't know anything about derrida when you walk into the theater , you wo n't know much more when you leave .

0negative

two hours fly by -- opera 's a pleasure when you do n't have to endure intermissions -- and even a novice to the form comes away exhilarated .
