the quiet american is n't a bad film , it 's just one that could easily wait for your pay per view dollar .

seen ( eddie )
throughout this funny film
while the production details are lavish
made all too clear in this schlocky horror/action hybrid
a funny ( sometimes hilarious ) comedy
that it makes edward burns ' sidewalks of new york look like oscar wilde
is loopy and ludicrous ... that it could have been a hoot in a bad-movie way if the laborious pacing and endless exposition had been tightened .
unforced comedy-drama
interesting than the screenplay , which lags badly in the middle and lurches between not-very-funny comedy , unconvincing dramatics and some last-minute action strongly reminiscent of run lola run
group articulates a flood of emotion .
american and european cinema has amassed a vast holocaust literature ,
feels as if the movie is more interested in entertaining itself than in amusing us .
it 's something of the ultimate scorsese film , with all the stomach-turning violence , colorful new york gang lore and other hallmarks of his personal cinema painted on their largest-ever historical canvas .
this tuxedo ... should have been sent back to the tailor for some major alterations .
though this rude and crude film does deliver a few gut-busting laughs , its digs at modern society are all things we 've seen before .
bad direction and bad acting --
a big-budget/all-star movie as unblinkingly pure as the hours is a distinct rarity , and an event .
good-naturedness
is so bad it does n't improve upon the experience of staring at a blank screen
under the sweet , melancholy spell of this unique director 's previous films
holofcener 's film offers just enough insight to keep it from being simpleminded , and the ensemble cast is engaging enough to keep you from shifting in your chair too often
somewhat defuses this provocative theme by submerging it in a hoary love triangle .
blind date , only less

thematically complex
if there 's a heaven for bad movies
sustains a higher plateau
has merit
the feeble examples of big-screen poke-mania
's simply unbearable
it 's lousy
memorable for a peculiar malaise that renders its tension flaccid and , by extension , its surprises limp
slapdash disaster
90 punitive minutes of eardrum-dicing gunplay , screeching-metal smashups , and flaccid odd-couple sniping .
the art direction is often exquisite , and the anthropomorphic animal characters are beautifully realized through clever makeup design , leaving one to hope that the eventual dvd release will offer subtitles and the original italian-language soundtrack .

he has improved upon the first and taken it a step further , richer and deeper .
it has fun with the quirks of family life ,
ponderous and charmless
if the essence of magic is its make-believe promise of life that soars above the material realm

the gorgeous piano and strings on the soundtrack
it 's petty thievery like this that puts flimsy flicks like this behind bars

an underachiever
the filmmakers were worried
of good stuff
a smart , steamy mix
must be said that he is an imaginative filmmaker who can see the forest for the trees .
shining performance
captures the complicated relationships in a marching band .
crafted an intriguing story of maternal instincts and misguided acts of affection
those exceedingly rare films in which the talk alone is enough to keep us
like a precious and finely cut diamond
trying to set the women 's liberation movement back 20 years
is of brian de palma 's addiction to the junk-calorie suspense tropes that have all but ruined his career
time of favor presents us with an action movie that actually has a brain .
somewhere lies ... footage that might have made no such thing a trenchant , ironic cultural satire instead of a frustrating misfire .

the fetid underbelly of fame has never looked uglier .

enough flourishes and freak-outs to make it entertaining
feels in almost every possible way -- from the writing and direction to the soggy performances -- tossed off
love in remembrance
for a smart , nuanced look at de sade and what might have happened at picpus
the film proves unrelentingly grim -- and equally engrossing .
glorified
the kind of primal storytelling that george lucas can only dream of
is a risky venture that never quite goes where you expect and often surprises you with unexpected comedy .
an epic rather than
two unrelated shorts that falls far short
as compelling or as believable
's always disappointing when a documentary fails to live up to -- or offer any new insight into -- its chosen topic .

an alfred hitchcock movie
may prove too convoluted for fun-seeking summer audiences
some dramatic scenes that are jarring and deeply out of place in what could have ( and probably should have ) been a lighthearted comedy

the film is a verbal duel between two gifted performers .

a lyrical and celebratory vision
the end it 's as sweet as greenfingers
tasteful little revision works
a reprieve
filling nearly every minute ... with a lighthearted glow , some impudent snickers , and a glorious dose of humankind 's liberating ability to triumph over a scrooge or two
strong themes of familial ties and spirituality that are powerful and moving without stooping to base melodrama
terminally brain dead production
holds as many good ideas as bad is the cold comfort that chin 's film serves up with style and empathy .

a fine , focused piece of work that reopens an interesting controversy and never succumbs to sensationalism
skin of man gets a few cheap shocks from its kids-in-peril theatrics , but it also taps into the primal fears of young people trying to cope with the mysterious and brutal nature of adults
directed by kevin bray , whose crisp framing , edgy camera work , and wholesale ineptitude with acting , tone and pace very obviously mark him as a video helmer making his feature debut .
is the rare common-man artist who 's wise enough to recognize that there are few things in this world more complex -- and , as it turns out , more fragile -- than happiness
beautifully to filming the teeming life on the reefs , making this gorgeous film a must for everyone from junior scientists to grown-up fish lovers
i had a lot of problems with this movie .
is too calm and thoughtful for agitprop , and the thinness of its characterizations makes it a failure as straight drama .
a sexy , surprising romance
i can imagine this movie as a b & w british comedy , circa 1960 , with peter sellers , kenneth williams , et al. , but at this time , with this cast , this movie is hopeless .
seems a prostituted muse ...
sets the film apart is debrauwer 's refusal to push the easy emotional buttons
