700 | flat as the scruffy sands of its titular community |
701 | liberal doses of dark humor , gorgeous exterior photography , and a stable-full of solid performances |
702 | is badly edited , often awkwardly directed and suffers from the addition of a wholly unnecessary pre-credit sequence designed to give some of the characters a ` back story |
703 | works smoothly |
704 | with a creepy and dead-on performance |
705 | might want to take a reality check before you pay the full ticket price to see `` simone , '' and consider a dvd rental instead . |
706 | placed in the pantheon of the best of the swashbucklers |
707 | a satisfyingly unsettling ride |
708 | good a job as anyone |
709 | , smart and complicated |
710 | the intimate , unguarded moments of folks who live in unusual homes -- |
711 | are pretty valuable these days |
712 | ( i ) t 's certainly laudable that the movie deals with hot-button issues in a comedic context , but barbershop is n't as funny as it should be . |
713 | that the only rip off that we were aware of |
714 | beautiful to watch and |
715 | accentuating |
716 | no quarter to anyone seeking to pull a cohesive story out of its 2 1/2 - hour running time |
717 | a wonderful ensemble cast |
718 | endear |
719 | the truly funny bits |
720 | 's that painful . |
721 | american beauty reeks |
722 | clotted with heavy-handed symbolism , dime-store psychology and endless scenic shots that make 105 minutes seem twice as long |
723 | without any of its sense of fun or energy |
724 | be the cat 's meow |
725 | 's simply stupid , irrelevant and deeply |
726 | wonderland adventure , a stalker thriller , and |
727 | be part of |
728 | cinema history as the only movie ever |
729 | comes from a renowned indian film culture that allows americans to finally revel in its splendor |
730 | accomplished oscar winners |
731 | of those underrated professionals who deserve but rarely receive it |
732 | we find ourselves surprised at how much we care about the story |
733 | an all-time low |
734 | enjoyed it just |
735 | reacting to it - feeling a part of its grand locations , |
736 | delivered with such conviction that it 's hard not to be carried away |
737 | colorful , vibrant introduction |
738 | the slow parade of human frailty fascinates you |
739 | famuyiwa 's feature deals with its subject matter in a tasteful , intelligent manner , rather than forcing us to endure every plot contrivance that the clich茅-riddled genre can offer . |
740 | a laugh between them |
741 | that gradually sneaks up on the audience |
742 | photographic marvel |
743 | is shockingly bad and absolutely unnecessary . |
744 | gets vivid performances from her cast and pulls off some deft ally mcbeal-style fantasy sequences . |
745 | the result , however well-intentioned , is ironically just the sort of disposable , kitchen-sink homage that illustrates why the whole is so often less than the sum of its parts in today 's hollywood . |
746 | while not for every taste , this often very funny collegiate gross-out comedy goes a long way toward restoring the luster of the national lampoon film franchise , too long reduced to direct-to-video irrelevancy . |
747 | wow ' factor |
748 | hashiguchi covers this territory with wit and originality , suggesting that with his fourth feature -- the first to be released in the u.s. -- a major director is emerging in world cinema . |
749 | brazil-like , hyper-real satire |
750 | low on both suspense and payoff |
751 | find a scathing portrayal of a powerful entity strangling the life out of the people who want to believe in it the most |
752 | an absolute delight for all audiences |
753 | would tax einstein 's brain . |
754 | 's its first sign of trouble |
755 | ca n't believe anyone would really buy this stuff |
756 | moonlight mile should strike a nerve in many . |
757 | if ever such a dependable concept was botched in execution |
758 | wedding feels a bit anachronistic . |
759 | been lost in the translation this time |
760 | revelatory performance |
761 | the pianist like a surgeon mends a broken heart ; very meticulously but without any passion |
762 | remains oddly detached |
763 | that is more complex and honest than anything represented in a hollywood film |
764 | nifty premise |
765 | vein |
766 | the wonderfully lush morvern callar is pure punk existentialism , and |
767 | go down with a ship as leaky |
768 | earnest movie |
769 | effective enough |
770 | showing us well-thought stunts or a car chase that we have n't seen 10,000 times |
771 | make the film more silly than scary , like some sort of martha stewart decorating program run amok |
772 | going at a rapid pace , |
773 | still fun and enjoyable and |
774 | a lazy exercise in bad filmmaking |
775 | this thing is virtually unwatchable . |
776 | 's also undeniably exceedingly clever |
777 | would ever work in a mcculloch production again if they looked at how this movie turned out |
778 | an entertainment destination for the general public |
779 | i have ever seen , constantly pulling the rug from underneath us , seeing things from new sides , plunging deeper , getting more intense . |
780 | england 's roger mitchell , who handily makes the move from pleasing |
781 | to the enduring strengths of women |
782 | surprisingly faithful |
783 | the numerous scenes |
784 | exaggerated and |
785 | takes a really long , slow and dreary time |
786 | improved upon the first |
787 | that might have made it an exhilarating |
788 | k-19 : the widowmaker is a great yarn . |
789 | humorless |
790 | thank |
791 | just because a walk to remember |
792 | bite |
793 | amounts to little more than punishment . |
794 | the humor is recognizably plympton |
795 | likeable thanks to its cast , its cuisine and its quirky tunes . |
796 | makes piecing the story together frustrating difficult |
797 | a fascinating , compelling story |
798 | the film 's hero is a bore and his innocence soon becomes a questionable kind of inexcusable dumb innocence |
799 | a fascinating , dark thriller that keeps you hooked on the delicious pulpiness of its lurid fiction . |
