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

that the only rip off that we were aware of
714
beautiful to watch and

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

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 ,

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 .

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

752
an absolute delight for all audiences

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

remains oddly detached

that is more complex and honest than anything represented in a hollywood film

go down with a ship as leaky
768
earnest movie
769
effective enough

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

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 .
