cindermond/bento huggingface dataset:
1. The cast just about escapes with its dignity after this derivative, predictable urban thriller.
2. From its non-committal title downwards -- we're a bit worse than ankle deep, but not quite neck deep -- the film includes a final shot that is almost surreal in its implausibility. Waist Deep? More like Deep Waste.
3. The worst is saved for last: just when you think the movie has shown the courage of its 'gritty' convictions, it hits you with schmaltz that would shame a Hallmark card.
4. Just looking at the genre, this is a cut above the normal. This is by no means an endorsement of this movie, but it is better than most.
5. ...strangely uninvolving...
6. I saw Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde is a major American movie. Waist Deep, sir, is no Bonnie and Clyde.
7. A waste of time!
8. Would most likely have made for a decent late-night Cinemax staple, but its stabs at higher significance only bring on the giggles.
9. If you're looking for gunning gangsta action on a hot summer night, Waist Deep is an effective-enough story of urban outlaws in love and on the run. It's sweet, sweaty stuff, for a while at least.
10. A carjacking leads to violence, revenge and antiheroes impossible to root for in Waist Deep, an urban gangster crime-thriller.
What is the consensus?

A well-meaning B-movie that suffers from a cliche-ridden script and poorly drawn characters that fail to inspire much sympathy.
Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. If you're a fan of Hong Kong police flicks, then you know that at any given moment, it seems like 50 percent of the force is deep undercover in the triads.
2. I really wanted to see a fun mindless martial arts film. But the story is so familiar that it beoomes boring.
3. It's all about the extensive climax, a gunfight turned mixed martial arts throwdown.
4. Insensible.
5. Those with a taste for bone-crushing martial arts executed with real skill and flair are not likely to find anything better on American screens for some time.
6. Considerably more importance is placed on the chops and the socks than the story, and yet the action sequences aren't terribly memorable.
7. Catch this one in theatres while you have the chance. The breathless, breakneck action of Flash Point can only truly be appreciated 40 feet high.
8. There's nothing that I dislike about FLASH POINT, but I do wish it could be even more than it is
9. Donnie Yen is famous for combining martial arts traditions into his own unique fighting style and Collin Chou, who studied with Sammo Hung, is up to the task of holding his own.
10. Yen has developed a recent passion for mixed martial arts, and his more traditional punches and flying kicks are supplemented by some close-quarters Muay Thai kicks and even some jujitsu submission holds. Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will be happy.

Flash Point features some nice mindless martial-arts action, but too much of the already thin story treads familiar ground.
1. The pacing is frantic, and the character interplay generally engaging. Perhaps the problem is that when it's all over, I'm not quite sure whether there was a point beyond a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
2. It's Tarantino's gutter poetry that detonates True Romance. This movie is dynamite.
3. The movie may be stylistically visceral, but it's aesthetically corrupt. It might as well have been called Pump Up the Violence.
4. Too often the bloodbath mentality simply washes away the film's more appealing elements.
5. The movie has a kind of goofy charm.
6. This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story.
7. An instant cult classic. Not only is it self-referential, stylish and exciting, it's also better written than most genre films, with plenty of memorable dialogue, compelling characters and yes, true romance.
8. True Romance, despite not displaying Tarantino at his best, is still a Tarantino film and it delivers the goods to all those who expect some stylish entertainment.
9. If you're in the mood for this sort of absurd, violent nonsense ... True Romance does deliver.
10. Made with such energy, such high spirits, such an enchanting goofiness, that it's impossible to resist.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Fueled by Quentin Tarantino's savvy screenplay and a gallery of oddball performances, Tony Scott's True Romance is a funny and violent action jaunt in the best sense.
Write an ordered list of reviews about "offside".

1. As in his previous films, such as Crimson Gold, director Jafar Panahi does not embitter his story with acrimony, but lets the absurdity of its situations bear silent witness to the injustices portrayed.
2. The biggest challenge in Offside is not who wins the game, but which daring enough girls manage to sneak into the stadium.
3. Although its message is deadly serious, Offside is almost lighthearted, filled with wit and winning characters.
4. A beguiling, deceptively simple slice-of-life drama, shot cinéma vérité style, Offside reaffirms Jafar Panahi's preeminence as one of the most humanistic and socially progressive filmmakers in contemporary Iranian cinema.
5. A funny, poignant, and jubilant Iranian film about some passionate female soccer fans that ends with a mystical moment of oneness.
6. The director shoots largely on location -- parts were filmed at Azadi Stadium during an actual match -- and mixes fiction and documentary so deftly we can't tell which is which.
7. For all its implicit politics, Offside is a pure joy; the young women are feisty and lovable. One can even imagine a few imams chuckling through their beards.
8. Sweetly affecting... The girls' plucky rebellion and camaraderie escape in tiny episodes that subtly reflect upon the ridiculousness of Iranian law.
9. This is thought provoking and lots and lots of fun.
10. It's a very frank film about the daily frustrations for women who just want to enjoy their lives. It's a comedy, but of a fairly bitter sort.
The critic consesnsus is: Leslie Nielsen's comic gifts are undisputed, but Spy Hard's lazy script and slapdash direction fail to take advantage of them.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?

1. When Spy Hard abruptly ends after only 81 minutes, you sense that it has used up every last round of available ammunition. It was simply exhausted and couldn't move another inch.
2. A dreadfully unfunny comedy that takes Naked Gun-like sketches and rehashes them without a whit of style or energy.
3. This movie unfortunately wastes a perfectly promising idea -- satirizing James Bond films along with any other pop-culture celluloid phenomenon that crosses the filmmakers' minds.
4. Most of the humor falls flatter than Steve Forbes' flat tax pitch.
5. You know you're in trouble when the highlight of a movie comes during its opening credits.
6. You won't laugh hard at Spy Hard. And that's not because the jokes aren't funny. Most of them aren't even jokes.
7. Never consistently humorous.
8. Filled to the bursting point with witless, sub-Mad magazine movie parodies, pointless cameos by a seemingly endless parade of has-beens, and once-hysterical, now stale jokes lifted straight from Airplane! and the original Naked Gun...
9. Ugh.
10. This movie may not be brilliant, but every now and then it's really funny.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "harry potter and the half blood prince".

Dark, thrilling, and occasionally quite funny, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is also visually stunning and emotionally satisfying.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "white chicks".

Scattershot comedy that's silly and obvious.
1. This is the movie for people who like blood, violence and topless women.
2. You can't underestimate the vitality of a movie where manly men give orders such as, "We will cast our rivals into oceans of blood."
3. The very definition of the dumb summer flick, designed to squeeze a few last bucks out of the kids before school starts up again.
4. Momoa ... speaks in one of those trying-too-hard baritones heard in young jocks whose greatest fear is being called gay.
5. It's just another ham-handed adventure flick in eye-deadening, wallet-draining 3-D.
6. It ain't a pretty sight -- in fact, it's downright barbaric.
7. Usually when a movie includes so many interesting parts, it amounts to a pretty good time. However, the result here never gels.
8. Does it satisfy, this tale? In its own modest way, it does.
9. Here's a movie that's simultaneously lavishly violent and numbing, visually ornate and undistinguished, epic and shallow, relentlessly noisy and tone-deaf, workmanlike and unfilling.
10. With a complete lack of self-awareness, this po-faced remake looks more like a trash-TV series (a la Spartacus or Camelot) than a proper movie.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

While its relentless, gory violence is more faithful to the Robert E. Howard books, Conan the Barbarian forsakes three-dimensional characters, dialogue, and acting in favor of unnecessary 3D effects.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "quiz show".

Robert Redford refracts the sociopolitical and moral issues posed by the subject material through a purely entertaining, well-acted lens.
Write an ordered list of reviews about "martyrs".

1. Martyrs is an unforgettable (not necessarily a good thing) endurance test of a movie that provides a quasi-philosophical spin on the torture porn genre.
2. The stylishly mounted first half zips along at a rate of knots while the gruesome make-up work will keep your gag reflex in violent spasm.
3. Young women are brutalised to a place beyond pain, as part of an eschatological experiment. You really don't need to see this.
4. You may well feel in need of a shower after sitting through Martyrs, a slick essay in Gallic torture porn.
5. Martyrs is a five star example of what modern horror can do, or a one star mugging of all that is decent. Forgive us if we go with the former.
6. 'Martyrs' is initially shocking and strong, but eventually falls apart once we are informed about what the hell is going on.
7. Arthouse? Grindhouse? The Passion Of Joan Of Arc: Unrated Edition? Defying all boundaries, Martyrs relentlessly dishes the visceral pain and emerges as a work of not just ceaseless terror but also gravity and beauty.
8. It will most definitely divide audiences, having already done so all over the world. But Laugier has contributed a brave, brutal and original horror film for all to witness.
9. O inquieto roteiro, que parece mudar sua trama de direзгo a cada 20 minutos, acaba fornecendo uma justificativa narrativa intrigante para toda a pavorosa violкncia que testemunhamos, embasando seu lado gore em uma temбtica metafнsica surpreendente.
10. Despite fancy writing, it's just another gore porn flick, out to shock for the hell of it and designed for loners who attend film festivals.
The critic consesnsus is: Takashi Miike's electric remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 period action film is a wild spectacle executed with killer, dizzying panache.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?

1. A richly cathartic experience with a wide range of emotional colors.
2. ... a subversive, action-packed, beautifully crafted samurai revenge epic ... climaxes in a 40-minute pitched battle that utilizes sword, arrow, spear, slingshot and ‒ here's a new one ‒ burning bull.
3. "13 Assassins" has what many action pictures need, a villain who transcends evil and ascends to a realm of barbaric madness.
4. The dialectic about duty may not translate to a modern Western audience, but the savage sword-fighting is to die for.
5. Does Guinness World Records have an entry for longest on-screen fight? If it doesn't, Takashi Miike's "13 Assassins" just set it. And if a record actually exists, Miike's film just broke it.
6. The final 40-plus minutes are bananas.
7. It absolutely, undeniably delivers the goods. And those goods are soaked in blood.
8. The 13th assassin, an uncouth mountain man, offers a critique of his noble companions -- and of the code-of-duty genre he finds himself occupying -- when he comments: 'Do only samurai matter in this world?'
9. ... the main attraction here is the big battle, for both its wild swordplay and the endless variety of clever devices and strategies the samurai come up with to even their odds against [the villains'] overwhelming numeric superiority.
10. 13 Assassins is a savage, insane movie - in the best way possible.
Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. For theater lovers -- on both sides of the footlights.
2. Its appeal isn't likely to cross over to those who don't already have the Broadway bug, or share the recollections themselves.
3. It's the sort of history you could nibble on for hours.
4. Whether it's Julie Harris weeping as she recalls an Ethel Waters performance she saw 60 years ago or Marian Seldes lamenting the cruelty of show biz or Ann Miller blithely carving a decade off her age, there's no arguing that these years were golden.
5. McKay's straightforward cinematic valentine, which also includes rare archival stage footage, is a treat for those bedazzled by the idea of Broadway in its prime.
6. [The subjects] eagerly unwind before McKay's one-man camera, reminiscing about everything from their finest hours to the days when ticket prices still ran in single digits.
7. Old-timers, showbiz buffs and big-stage wanna-bes will not be disappointed.
8. Rather than listen to these old-timers reminisce about the good old days ... my advice is to get out and support your local thespians instead.
9. It takes more than a fan to analyze the legacy of a period. But a fan is just what it takes to indulge in that legacy, which is exactly what Broadway: The Golden Age is all about.
10. I can think of no higher compliment than to report that after seeing it, I wanted to rush out and see a play.

What was the overall consensus about the movie?

Broadway: The Golden Age is a breezy, affectionate tribute to a sparkling array of the era's best and brightest.
Which movie is the following review about?

Renewed purpose to this part two, finding Catching Fire skillfully communicating beats of unrest and despair, locating a way to help the ongoing franchise settle in as an energizing story of an underground uprising.

the hunger games catching fire
1. Now we know just what to expect from Coogan and Brydon, although as long as you're willing to settle in for the ride, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
2. Underneath the achingly beautiful surface, a sense of opportunities lost and roads not taken often lurks.
3. At its heart, The Trip to Italy is more than just a travelogue about food. It's about friendship and the appetite for experience we all share.
4. As enjoyable as the first movie was, its follow-up successfully evolves that formula into an equally enjoyable film.
5. The Trip To Italy is a near-perfect sequel once again filled with delectable treats, non-stop laughter, and a slew of impressions that almost outshine the gorgeous plates of 5-Star Italian delicacies.
6. Michael Winterbottom and his gifted actors still haven't quite solved the riddle of portraying social disconnection in a manner that's anything other than sporadically involving.
7. [VIDEO ESSAY] Everywhere you look, history keeps rearing its inevitable head for Coogan or Brydon to tickle when they aren't feasting on Italian food and wine. This is a vacation you'll want to go on more than once.
8. After all their decades of comical sparring, Rob Brydon FINALLY makes Steve Coogan crack up on camera
9. The whole thing is a thin and flimsy travelogue but the banter between the pair makes it better and far funnier than it has any right to be.
10. I could watch Brydon and Coogan read the phone book, because they'd make it funny. In fact, watching them eat and riff is not far removed from reading a phone book; and it is very, very funny. A total delight from start to finish.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

While perhaps not quite as fresh as Coogan and Brydon's original voyage in The Trip, The Trip to Italy still proves a thoroughly agreeable sequel.
1. A very creepy little ditty that works once it rears up to the second half.
2. If you're in the mood for a Saturday afternoon-ish throwback thriller, you could certainly do a hell of a lot worse than this one.
3. All dolls are inherently freaky, but there's something seriously bent about a little wooden man with bulging eyes, shiny cheeks, and perfect chompers.
4. A Nightmare on Dummy St. from Saw creators.
5. "Dead Silence" is not going to reinvent the genre. It's actually a big pile of nonsense, but that doesn't stop it from being fun nonetheless.
6. Plodding and bereft of suspense, "Dead Silence" is an irredeemable jumble of cliché genre fragments.
7. It's awful. It eats your soul, it's so awful.
8. Wan and Whannell have a carnivalesque sense of fun and a sure instinct for recycling classic horror tropes, but their characters are so flat and their plotting so listless that this low-budget feature fails to generate much suspense.
9. For the love of Chucky, avoid this insipid attempt at reviving the killer doll horror.
10. All Wan and Whannell know is shock-and-awe tactics. They may shock, but there's no awe.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

More tasteful than recent slasher flicks, but Dead Silence is undone by boring characters, bland dialogue, and an unnecessary and obvious twist ending.
Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. De Niro delivers a frightening vision of frosty criminal efficiency.
2. It is a remarkably powerful, entertaining and invigorating piece of cinema that hits on more levels than seemingly possible.
3. Heat has an impressively strong script by Mann, and he backs it up with gorgeous filmmaking.
4. Boosters and touts use the term 'major movie' so often that it's more likely to generate yawns than excitement at this point. Back to basics. Heat is a major movie. With major stars. Doing major acting.
5. All this adds good weight and tension to the movie and provides a lot of very good actors with the opportunity to do honest, probing work in a context where, typically, less will do.
6. This is the first time De Niro and Pacino have acted together, and each gives a strong, watertight performance.
7. As notable as the cinematography is De Niro's performance, which helps you remember why he became a legend in the first place.
8. ... while the sometimes hard-to-follow script often demands too much of the viewer, this film is one that's truly worth seeing.
9. A slow-moving, overburdened, well-meant and at times quite entertaining slog.
10. The director's signature sleek and romantic aesthetic is reason enough to take a seat for this operatic three-hour marathon.

Though Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share but a handful of screen minutes together, Heat is an engrossing crime drama that draws compelling performances from its stars -- and confirms Michael Mann's mastery of the genre.
Write an ordered list of reviews about "10009460-the road".

1. Mortensen has proven to be one of the best actors in the business, and The Road is his masterpiece.
2. The most arresting aspect of The Road is just how fully the filmmakers have realized this bleak, blighted landscape of a modern society reduced to savagery.
3. This year's entry in the Movies You Admire and Respect but Don't Ever Want to Watch Again Sweepstakes.
4. Hillcoat's noble effort ultimately falls under the category of things much better imagined than seen. Instead of The End of All That Is, this is, well, just a movie.
5. Zombieland was the same movie with laughs, but if you take away the comedy, what is left? Nothing, on a vast scale.
6. I'm not sure if The Road could ever have worked on the big screen, but I am sure that this version could be used to make that case.
7. The Road possesses undeniable sweep and a grim kind of grandeur, but it ultimately plays like a zombie movie with literary pretensions.
8. (T)hanks to Hillcoat's reverence to the source material and his desire to visualize McCarthy's mind's eye Armageddon, we wind up with something so harsh it's almost unbearable.
9. This adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is intense and, yes, depressing -- and earns every minute that it rattles inside your head.
10. Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning, Oprah-endorsed, post-apocalyptic survivalist prose poem... was a quick, lacerating read. John Hillcoat's literal adaptation is, by contrast, a long, dull slog.
Which movie is the following review about?

Beats Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at its own game of high-flying huzzah, and with relative ease.

legend of drunken master
1. 'Warm Bodies' has a lot of fun playing with all of these conventions and the result is a clever, endearing little film that is much better than you would expect it to be.
2. Formulaic in some ways and totally fresh in others
3. There are so many clever lines and bits of physical comedy worth revisiting that the movie seems like a likely cult classic, but it's more inclusive than that.
4. Warm Bodies successfully unearths the "human" in budding relationships - and does it with the not-quite-human.
5. This strangely sentimental twist on the classic 'Romeo and Juliet' tale becomes a charming, paranormal romantic comedy about fantastical, forbidden love.
6. Good luck ascribing a clear satirical agenda to Jonathan Levine's tonally uneven zomcom, which suffers an identity crisis nearly as severe as its protagonist's.
7. Warm Bodies is a love story set against the backdrop of a bleak future world...but ultimately it offers a ray of hope.
8. Romance with a capital R ensues, love conquers all and so on and so forth. It's clichéd (yet makes fun of itself in the process) but cute.
9. It bravely reverses the polarity of an increasingly grim genre.
10. 'Warm Bodies' is beautifully shot, features relatable characters, and a carries a romance that the viewer may actually connect with.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Warm Bodies offers a sweet, well-acted spin on a genre that all too often lives down to its brain-dead protagonists.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "the sessions".

Tender, funny, and touching, The Sessions provides an acting showcase for its talented stars and proves it's possible for Hollywood to produce a grown-up movie about sex.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "cropsey".

Riveting and bone-chillingly creepy, Cropsey manages to be one of the best documentaries and one of the best horror movies of the year.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "roman holiday".

With Audrey Hepburn luminous in her American debut, Roman Holiday is as funny as it is beautiful, and sets the standard for the modern romantic comedy.
1. Australian tale of a holiday gone wrong has a potent, distinctive creepiness.
2. A legendary and controversial Aussie classic, although it's long been available only in poor-quality video releases.
3. Unlike many "lost" treasures, Wake in Fright lives up to its nightmarish reputation.
4. Few films were ever so bright and so dark at once.
5. If you have any interest whatsoever in discovering the true classics of Australian cinema, there are far worse places you could start than with Wake in Fright.
6. Throughout we feel like we are watching a real world, with the extensive use of real locations and real outback dwellers, where none of the professional actors breaks the spell.
7. Shocking, credible and hard to forget.
8. This tale of sun-baked savagery has lost little of its audacity or ferocity while it languished unseen.
9. The raw, sweaty 1971 film is not a pretty portrayal of life in the outback, where men are crude, hard-drinking mates with no ambition beyond rough-house fun...
10. Like the majestic camera movement with which it opens, Wake In Fright is a film that travels in slow, inexorable circles, presenting its paranoid nightmare of entrapment as Kafka down under.
What is the consensus?

A disquieting classic of Australian cinema, Wake in Fright surveys a landscape both sun-drenched and ruthlessly dark.
Which movie is the following review about?

Be prepared for a melancholy denouement that's not suitable for younger children, but which grown-ups and older kids may find heartbreaking.

the tale of the princess kaguya
1. The only good thing about Never Die Alone is its rap-retro soundtrack.
2. This gritty genre piece about four men whose paths intertwine largely overcomes key cast weaknesses to deliver a jazzy, darkly textured rendering of the ghetto pulp of late African-American ex-con author Donald Goines.
3. Routinely but unconvincingly directed by Dickerson, the movie possesses not a single character with the brains to get through a day without creating a huge mess.
4. Never Die Alone discards logic and reason for a farcically overblown orgy of uninhibited sex, drugs and gaudy materialism.
5. Working from a 1974 novel by Donald Goines, the director, Ernest Dickerson, proves he's the rare filmmaker who can show the attraction -- and degradation -- of the criminal life without exploiting it.
6. Scott Fitzgerald might get a laugh from Never Die Alone.
7. It deserves some credit for its ambitions. But those ambitions tip it over into pretentious melodrama that only emphasizes how far short of its aspirations it falls.
8. A hackneyed tale of vengeance set in the 'hood, teeming with stock characters, slo-mo gunplay, and rampant misogyny.
9. Arquette does what he can with his pitiful character. But the longer Paul drifts, the longer we find it hard to believe that he's still alive. In fact, we're kind of sorry he's still alive. The movie would be much better without him.
10. Worse than you could ever imagine.
What is the consensus?

DMX's menacing charisma is put to good use in this stylish but hackneyed modern-day noir.
1. Year One is a good short skit drawn out far, far too long, another big, dumb offering to the summer movie gods that is unlikely to appease or please anyone.
2. The big, blustery physical comedy of Jack Black makes for an amusing fit with Michael Cera's quiet, self-deprecating humour in Year One.
3. Year One has one joke, but it's a good one, played for many variations over the course of an often very funny comedy.
4. Black and Cera posed in cave-man outfits for an amusing poster. Then the movie was brought forth and things went downhill.
5. Stuffed full of comic bits that don't work.
6. [A] sloppy, joke-poor mess of a pre-historical romp.
7. It ambles along uncertainly, hobbled by the lack of chemistry between its two lead actors, and by gags that either try too hard or suffer from being barely there.
8. An inexplicably unfunny comedy made by two people who have proven they can do much better: director/co-writer Harold Ramis and co-producer Judd Apatow.
9. [Harold] Ramis and co-writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg mostly avoid the easy anachronism jokes, to their credit, but instead they wind up plumbing the depths of poop, fart, urine, foreskin and gay-panic humor.
10. Year One is a horse designed by committee to make a camel, and Harold Ramis, as much as today's comedy stars owe him, is an unadaptable species.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Year One is a poorly executed, slapdash comedy in which the talent both in front of and behind the camera never seem to be on the same page.
1. A very easy film to dismiss but there is more to it than meets the eye.
2. Abrave film for De Palma, obviously deeply felt, but the final scene - a steady collage of real pictures of victims of the conflict - offer a more visceral pull than anything that has gone before.
3. War was ever a Kubrick-ian hell-ride, futile, fundamentally unheroic and de-humanising, but now it's mocked by a mad multimedia accompaniment innocent of all real ethical, moral and humanitarian value.
4. Though the events are gruelingly (and graphically) recreated there's a typical lack of emotional connection which might be forgivable in a thriller but utterly hobbles this supposed cri de coeur. An almost total failure then, but a noble one.
5. De Palma's efforts to make the film seem as 'real' as possible only make it seem even less real when his mock-ups fail to approximate the things he's trying to imitate.
6. Calling the movie anti-soldier misses the despair with which DePalma views the troops' situation.
7. Feels more like a polemic than drama. But at least it hammers home the message that under the right circumstances even the 'good guys' can behave like monsters.
8. De Palma's made a shattering true crime feel phony
9. The film is so artificial that it feels like a mockumentary (i.e. a deranged black comedy), and marks a low point in the career of De Palma.
10. But, no matter what its aesthetic and political virtues, it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to put themselves through the experience of Redacted, particularly those who already `get it.'
What is the consensus?

Despite DePalma's obvious commitment to the material and passion for the issues at hand, Redacted suffers from stereotypical characters and a forced faux-doc style.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "grown ups".

Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script.
1. The takeaway from the bickering and paint splatter is that the couple's feisty commitment to one another is an art unto itself.
2. The story of an extraordinary marriage between two people bound together by their artistic impulse.
3. A painful, powerful portrait of the struggle and sacrifice required to create, and the cost that it can demand.
4. The simple approach teases fascinating parallels between art and marriage: essential to both, it seems, are a thick skin and an optimism verging on madness.
5. It's a touching film and a fascinating glimpse into one of those couples you can't quite believe are still together.
6. The film is both touching and funny.
7. Bohemianism and marriage are both for life in this alternately rueful and whimsical documentary about expat Japanese artist couple Ushio and Noriko Shinohara.
8. This doc about a bickering husband-and-wife artist team feels like its drama has been forced by the filmmakers.
9. The most wonderful, paint-splattered love story I've seen...
10. More than anything, the film expresses - at an almost subconscious level - the difficulties of discerning not only what real art is, but also what true love is all about.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

A beautifully-made documentary that explores the challenges and richness of both marriage and art through the lens of a fascinating and complex couple.
1. It's a hard ride, and it brings you to places you wish you'd never consented to go, but it's worthwhile.
2. One might conclude that the enormous value of a film like Stevie lies in its ability to take us places we'd probably never go otherwise -- not merely as guilty liberals, but as thinking individuals who want to learn something about the world we inhabit.
3. The road of Stevie is a rough ride, and at 145 minutes, it's a long one. But in an age of so-called reality shows that are no more than hyped entertainment, it is a rewarding if distressing look at flawed but genuine human beings.
4. Stevie is a fascinating, irritating movie, with a portrait of a hopelessly troubled young man at its center.
5. Bring Kleenex.
6. The director allows both lead characters to be seen as failures, remarkable for the fact that he himself is one of them.
7. ["Stevie"] should be watched by any aspiring documentary filmmakers as a standard of excellence.
8. Possibly looking for a personal catharsis, James gets a whole lot of heartbreak, yet still presents an unblinking portrait of a complex personality.
9. In this complex and soulful documentary, Steve James (Hoop Dreams) explores his caring relationship with a troubled young man and in the process reveals that no one can save another person despite good intentions.
10. Some viewers will feel moved to tears of compassion, and others will point to Stevie Fielding as an argument for more barbed wire on the prison walls. But there's no denying this is an important film.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

Poignant documentary that's hard to forget.
Write an ordered list of reviews about "flags of our fathers".

1. Isn't perfect, but its flaws arise from an attempt to deliver a message about the complicated nature of heroism that's worth hearing in our own time of conflict.
2. It is one of the year's best films and perhaps the finest modern film about World War II.
3. While I found the subject matter interesting, I didn't walk out of the theater thinking, this is a really good movie.
4. Despite a compelling mission for unearthing the exploitative nature of the term "war hero," this picture has limited appeal.
5. Makes its mark in the moments when war is fought man-to-man--when we can see on these young soldiers' faces that home is far, far away.
6. Flags of Our Fathers barely scratches the surface of his story.
7. Despite handsome production values and a worthwhile subject, Flags of Our Fathers ultimately falls victim to the very hero worship it wishes to debunk.
8. Flags of Our Fathers is a truly magnificent film that should not be missed.
9. a fine piece of craftsmanship, well put together and boasting good performances, it's just not as moving as it should be
10. This film seems dangerously close to embracing the same kind of selective storytelling that it condemns.
Write a one sentence review of the movie "agronomist".

A well-made, emotionally engaging documentary about Haitian social activist Jean Dominique.
The critic consesnsus is: The plot is utterly ridiculous, and the soccer in the movie is unlike any ever played anywhere on Earth, but watching Shaolin Soccer, you will probably find it impossible to care.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?

1. Here is a film where even the camera movements and editing are hilarious.
2. While Shaolin Soccer may not wow Western audiences the way it did Asian ones, you should get more than a few kicks out of it.
3. A very traditional underdog sports team story told in a delightfully untraditional style, with whimsy, fantasy, and heart.
4. Shaolin Soccer really loves what it mocks, after all, and that grandly goofy affection -- nay, joy -- for all things chop socky is purely, utterly contagious.
5. It is piffle, yes, but superior piffle.
6. A hoot from beginning to end.
7. Over the top is a tricky thing to pull off effectively. But when it is done as delightfully as it has been done in Shaolin Soccer, you just have to sit back and take in the eye candy.
8. Not an earth-shattering achievement, but not something to miss if you haven't yet met Stephen Chow.
9. For once, maybe Harvey did the right thing by cutting it down.
10. One of the silliest, sweetest and most fun family films in recent memory.
Which movie is the following review about?

A simple yet elegant retelling of a classic children's story that has given pleasure to many for centuries.

ever after a cinderella story
Write a one sentence review of the movie "headhunters".

Grisly, twisty, and darkly comic, Headhunters is an exhilaratingly oddball take on familiar thriller elements.
Write an ordered list of reviews about "ghosts of the abyss".

1. If you see only one James Cameron-directed movie about theTitanic -and you should - see the one that doesn't star Kate and Leo.
2. A bit slow-going and strangely emotionless at times. But Bill Paxton's nervous expressions add humor, and the film's jaw-dropping glimpse at the Titanic are powerful, to say the least.
3. James Cameron's latest memorial to the spirit that exists mournfully and sadly in utter silence as the effects of time and salinity slowly and inexorably take their toll.
4. I wouldn't call "Ghosts of the Abyss" a compelling documentary or even an artistic one. It's more like a visit to a museum-in this case, one that's 12,500 feet below the surface.
5. Go and marvel at this spectacular piece of visual history; it's 60 minutes very well spent.
6. This hour-long feature, edited down from 900 hours of footage, is both a technical marvel and a heartfelt memorial to those who died when the ship sank in 1912.
7. What's the point of this documentary?
8. This is a brilliant showcase for IMAX and Cameron who offer an entertaining and fascinating glimpse of history to us all.
9. Despite Paxton's whooping every time a new artefact comes on screen, it's hard to be constantly excited about watching a bunch of rusty, decayed junk -- historic and three-dimensional though it may be.
10. It may not have the organisation of 'art', but it's quite some postcard.
Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. Flushed Away will make you excited about animated movies again. It shows you can still do something with heart and soul even though everyone else is trying to cash in.
2. Charming and often quite funny.
3. ...the almost total lack of substance ensures that most viewers will have an awfully hard time finding much here to embrace...
4. It has Aardman's trademark intricacy of design, thrilling, hair's-breadth-timing of action sequences, mastery of physical properties and spaces, delightful characters, fresh and funny moments and adorable singing slugs.
5. So while Flushed Away is studded with little comic nuggets, it is its story that disappoints.
6. Flushed Away ought to stand as one of the highlights of the season. Let's hope the title isn't a prediction of its future.
7. Deficient in the comedy of reticence discouragement that is Aardman's (or maybe just Nick Park's) unique strength. I don't want to say the Englishmen were corrupted, but I think they allowed their strongest, quirkiest instincts to be tethered.
8. Toilet humour and Aardman characters go together like tar and tea.
9. One of the most outright enjoyable films of the year -- an imaginative and entertaining ride from the very first flush.
10. The film throws just enough lunacy at us to keep things entertaining even when we're not really sure where it's going.

Clever and appealing for both children and adults, Flushed Away marks a successful entry into digital animated features for Aardman Animations.
The critic consesnsus is: The most successful installment in a phenomenally successful series, Lethal Weapon helped redefine action movies for the 1980s and 1990s.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?

1. Yeah, I know, I know: It's considered an action classic and routinely pegged as one of the best "buddy cop" films, but it's always held just marginal appeal for me -- besides, compare it to Die Hard, and its "classic" status seems even more ludicrous.
2. What does it say that I loved it as a boy of fourteen?
3. Thanks to a peculiar chemistry and a terrific script, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover lift this movie above mere TV-cop fodder.
4. Implausibility is a large part of the entertainment in this romp par excellence, with each overblown set piece becoming ever more ludicrous.
5. As action-adventure, it's pointlessly puerile, a movie where the heroes are so childish they try to one-up each other with fancy shots at the pistol range.
6. Nothing, however, can really prepare audiences for the generally good, though offbeat, performances, gritty action and serio-comic exploits of the Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys.
7. At center is the first big, juicy mythic-hero part Gibson has had since Mad Max.
8. [Gibson and Glover] make a great team, and some of their early adventures are exciting. But the film runs out of gas as it turns into an extended chase sequence.
9. The story, which proceeds with inevitability, is enlivened by Donner's rousing action sequences.
10. What this premise needs is a serviceable plot, but screenwriter Shane Block hasn't provided one. Indeed, for an action thriller, Lethal Weapon is unacceptably slow.
1. It can't have been easy for hundreds of actors, technicians and stunt people to show up for work every day to make a movie whose message is, essentially: Don't go see this movie.
2. Untraceable isn't unwatchable, but it's a pretty miserable experience, from a director who knows better.
3. Untraceable really is disgraceable.
4. As plain awful as Untraceable is, possibly the worst thing about it is that it pretends to mean something.
5. In case you didn't catch it, the moral is that each time we indulge our inner voyeur by visiting macabre websites or tuning into salacious tabloid news, we're implicated in the larger cultural crime.
6. Untraceable demonstrates, once again, how unnecessary it is for audiences actually to understand technical jargon.
7. This joyless thriller runs the gamut from unconscionable through unwatchable to unendurable. It's also unfathomable that two talented people, Diane Lane and her director, Gregory Hoblit, got themselves involved in such an unpromising enterprise.
8. Untraceable feels sleazy and gratuitous.
9. ...the picture is grimly unpleasant, and the formulaic conclusion subverts whatever earnest intentions were present at the beginning.
10. Morally duplicitous torture porn: how else to describe Untraceable, a bleak, rain-washed horror thriller.
What is the consensus?

Despite Diane Lane's earnest effort, Untraceable manages to be nothing more than a run-of-the-mill thriller with a hypocritical message.
Which movie is the following review about?

The ultimate cult flick.

plan-9-from-outer-space
1. An immensely entertaining and at times moving story.
2. Witty, gruesome, and artful fun.
3. I didn't get most of it, or like all of it, but at least it came in less than two volumes.
4. [Kitano] captures almost perfectly the flavor of the decades-old films while simultaneously presenting something entirely new and entirely entertaining.
5. Zatoichi himself is a remarkable creation. With his dry laugh and cocked head, Kitano makes him a kind of clown -- an ideal choice for a film so concerned with fun, games, and performing.
6. Kitano has come up with one of the most flat-out imaginative films to arrive in American theaters this summer.
7. A savvy blend of slapstick, sword fights and samurai honor.
8. A vaudeville of entertainment, of which revenge and swordsmanship are only two of the acts
9. Has lots of style and little substance.
10. Zatoichi is no ordinary samurai story.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Colorful, rich with action and wonderfully choreographed, Takeshi Kitano takes on the classic samurai character with his own brand of cinematic flair.
Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Hudson generates enough good will in the first two-thirds of Raising Helen to offset sporadic preachiness.
2. At two hours, Raising Helen feels like it's never going to end, and, when the obligatory all-is-forgiven finale finally arrives, it's a welcome relief.
3. Like a bad sitcom, it wants to make you smile while tugging at your heartstrings, but what it induces is a grimace and heartburn.
4. If [Helen] had her own NBC sitcom, she'd be safe for many a season of dating mishaps, workplace cock-ups, and conspicuously plush interior design; since she's stuck in a big-screen seriocomedy ... she must be swiftly rehabilitated of her egocentric ways.
5. A heartwarming comedy that makes you think as well as laugh.
6. A must-miss of snoringly mediocre proportions.
7. Marshall keeps the performances within a narrow range that might be called over-the-top lite: cheery-through- the-tears, with every complication spelled out and quickly resolved.
8. Shiny, undemanding and deeply fake.
9. Ladies: You're going to hell if your popping bubble wrap with male models instead of birthin' babies at home.
10. An acrimoniously cookie-cutter affair without an honest bone in its body.

What was the overall consensus about the movie?

As shallow and formulaic as a sitcom.
Which movie is the following review about?

Although the movie never quite dispels the sense of being dated (it could have been made anytime in the past 40 years), it's a memorable, often moving timepiece.

mio fratello e figlio unico
1. Frighteningly good evidence that the British (Alfred Hitchcock, Carol Reed, et al.) have no monopoly on the technique of making mystery films.
2. Excellent but too mature for the littlest kids.
3. Immaculately designed, evocatively photographed, and easy to watch but also spiky, morally complex, and ultimately unsettling.
4. It's the classic hardboiled private-eye movie; the nervy maiden offering of its celebrated director, John Huston; the first glamorous star vehicle for Humphrey Bogart...
5. The Maltese Falcon is the first crime melodrama with finish, speed and bang to come along in what seems ages.
6. exceptionally crafted
7. "The stuff that dreams are made of," comments Spade about the elusive black bird of the title, a sentiment easily applied to this indisputable masterpiece.
8. John Huston's first whirlpool of seekers and patsies
9. The film is made up almost entirely of talk, and yet the performances are so wonderfully flamboyant and focused that conversations become the action of the movie.
10. This Spade is no stranger to the guile of shady clients and colorful suspects...

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Suspenseful, labyrinthine, and brilliantly cast, The Maltese Falcon is one of the most influential noirs -- as well as a showcase for Humphrey Bogart at his finest.
1. Despite doing a fine job telling this trajectory skateboarder bio, Stickler's tale lacked an edge and the power to make this story stick in the ribs.
2. You can see why Stickler was drawn to the charismatic Gator, but his story is so extreme (he is serving life for murder) that it effectively unbalances the project.
3. Unforgettable.
4. Stoked gives a young woman's rape and murder almost no narrative weight -- it is merely the disappointing spoiler to a talented skateboarder's career.
5. Thoroughly compelling documentary.
6. The movie fails to pull off all its trick moves.
7. A decent enough documentary albeit one about an appalling person.
8. It's fascinating to see the process by which skateboarding, in all its concrete grittiness, was transformed into a mainstream activity of consumer cool.
9. An exhilarating and terrifying journey through youth-culture hell.
10. A near-perfect time capsule of a specific moment in our culture, and a telling analysis of instant celebrity and the fickleness of youth culture.
What is the consensus?

The harder they come, the harder they fall -- this film shows, in raw, gripping detail, that even skater dudes can't resist the life of the rich and famous. It's more poignant than hard-core, and gives us a portrait of a life run over by the whims of the entertainment industry.
1. Loved McAdams, but Bana was miscast. Still the romantics will love this movie
2. I'm over the moon about this movie, which smooths out the psychological dissonances in Audrey Niffenegger's fine novel but is still an emotional workout.
3. OK, sometimes the movie gets really weird, but overall it's a very entertaining escapist sci-fi romance%u2014and these days that's a rare event.
4. Buy the book.
5. Wears on one's wits with its senseless hokum and dour melodramatics.
6. By the end, I finally cared about Henry and Clare. But I wish the filmmakers had pulled me in about an hour and a half sooner.
7. You've got one obnoxious romance.
8. If you positively drenched Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse Five in goo, you might get something like The Time Traveler's Wife.
9. The Time Traveler's Wife works when it embraces the magic of its concept, not when it remains tethered to the reality of its execution.
10. It's a really solid date movie that should give everyone a little something of what they are looking for.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?

Though it may satisfy fans of the novel, The Time Traveler's Wife's plot contrivances and illogical narrative hamper its big screen effectiveness.
