2 | a stirring , funny and finally transporting re-imagining of beauty and the beast and 1930s horror films |
1 | the entire movie is filled with deja vu moments . |
1 | um , no. . |
2 | béart and berling are both superb , while huppert ... is magnificent . |
2 | this is a stunning film , a one-of-a-kind tour de force . |
2 | as quiet , patient and tenacious as mr. lopez himself , who approaches his difficult , endless work with remarkable serenity and discipline . |
0 | final verdict : you 've seen it all before . |
2 | a slick , engrossing melodrama . |
1 | eccentric enough to stave off doldrums , caruso 's self-conscious debut is also eminently forgettable . |
1 | one of -lrb- jaglom 's -rrb- better efforts -- a wry and sometime bitter movie about love . |
0 | lacks the inspiration of the original and has a bloated plot that stretches the running time about 10 minutes past a child 's interest and an adult 's patience . |
2 | the film is moody , oozing , chilling and heart-warming all at once ... a twisting , unpredictable , cat-and-mouse thriller . |
2 | a strong first act and absolutely , inescapably gorgeous , skyscraper-trapeze motion of the amazing spider-man . |
1 | you end up simply admiring this bit or that , this performance or that . |
1 | analyze that regurgitates and waters down many of the previous film 's successes , with a few new swings thrown in . |
1 | there 's a neat twist , subtly rendered , that could have wrapped things up at 80 minutes , but kang tacks on three or four more endings . |
1 | what with the incessant lounge music playing in the film 's background , you may mistake love liza for an adam sandler chanukah song . |
1 | you might say tykwer has done all that heaven allows , if you wanted to make as anti-kieslowski a pun as possible . |
1 | many shallower movies these days seem too long , but this one is egregiously short . |
1 | a portrait of an artist . |
1 | once again , the intelligence of gay audiences has been grossly underestimated , and a meaty plot and well-developed characters have been sacrificed for skin and flash that barely fizzle . |
1 | with a confrontational stance , todd solondz takes aim on political correctness and suburban families . |
1 | many of the effective horror elements are dampened through familiarity , -lrb- yet -rrb- are worthwhile . |
2 | overall , cletis tout is a winning comedy that excites the imagination and tickles the funny bone . |
1 | here polanski looks back on those places he saw at childhood , and captures them by freeing them from artefact , and by showing them heartbreakingly drably . |
2 | unfolds with such a wallop of you-are-there immediacy that when the bullets start to fly , your first instinct is to duck . |
0 | and it 's a lousy one at that . |
2 | compellingly watchable . |
1 | he may have meant the internet short saving ryan 's privates . |
2 | not only does spider-man deliver , but i suspect it might deliver again and again . |
2 | it 's worth taking the kids to . |
1 | the movie plays up the cartoon 's more obvious strength of snazziness while neglecting its less conspicuous writing strength . |
0 | without shakespeare 's eloquent language , the update is dreary and sluggish . |
0 | ... feels as if -lrb- there 's -rrb- a choke leash around your neck so director nick cassavetes can give it a good , hard yank whenever he wants you to feel something . |
1 | a perfectly acceptable , perfectly bland , competently acted but by no means scary horror movie . |
2 | methodical , measured , and gently tedious in its comedy , secret ballot is a purposefully reductive movie -- which may be why it 's so successful at lodging itself in the brain . |
1 | this is amusing for about three minutes . |
2 | superbly photographed and staged by mendes with a series of riveting set pieces the likes of which mainstream audiences have rarely seen . |
2 | admirers of director abel ferrara may be relieved that his latest feature , r xmas , marks a modest if encouraging return to form . |
0 | an ugly-duckling tale so hideously and clumsily told it feels accidental . |
0 | becomes a bit of a mishmash : a tearjerker that does n't and a thriller that wo n't . |
1 | at its worst , the movie is pretty diverting ; the pity is that it rarely achieves its best . |
2 | could i have been more geeked when i heard that apollo 13 was going to be released in imax format ? |
2 | cho 's timing is priceless . |
2 | what elevates the movie above the run-of-the-mill singles blender is its surreal sense of humor and technological finish . |
1 | greengrass -lrb- working from don mullan 's script -rrb- forgoes the larger socio-political picture of the situation in northern ireland in favour of an approach that throws one in the pulsating thick of a truly frightening situation . |
2 | nicholson 's understated performance is wonderful . |
1 | jackson tries to keep the plates spinning as best he can , but all the bouncing back and forth ca n't help but become a bit tedious -- even with the breathtaking landscapes and villainous varmints there to distract you from the ricocheting . |
2 | nolan proves that he can cross swords with the best of them and helm a more traditionally plotted popcorn thriller while surrendering little of his intellectual rigor or creative composure . |
2 | isabelle huppert excels as the enigmatic mika and anna mouglalis is a stunning new young talent in one of chabrol 's most intense psychological mysteries . |
1 | but ` why ? ' |
2 | perhaps the best sports movie i 've ever seen . |
0 | this pathetic junk is barely an hour long . |
2 | this is a gorgeous film - vivid with color , music and life . |
1 | igby goes down is one of those movies . |
1 | a bit too derivative to stand on its own as the psychological thriller it purports to be . |
2 | but the nerve-raked acting , the crackle of lines , the impressive stagings of hardware , make for some robust and scary entertainment . |
1 | a witty , trenchant , wildly unsentimental but flawed look at the ins and outs of modern moviemaking . |
1 | the name says it all . |
1 | it 's been 20 years since 48 hrs . |
2 | uplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be , and among the best films of the year . |
0 | the irwins ' scenes are fascinating ; the movie as a whole is cheap junk and an insult to their death-defying efforts . |
0 | it 's a frightful vanity film that , no doubt , pays off what debt miramax felt they owed to benigni . |
1 | funny , though . |
1 | unofficially , national lampoon 's van wilder is son of animal house . |
1 | it never is , not fully . |
1 | it 's just a little too self-satisfied . |
0 | i 've never seen -lrb- a remake -rrb- do anything as stomach-turning as the way adam sandler 's new movie rapes , pillages and incinerates frank capra 's classic ... |
1 | post 9\/11 the philosophical message of `` personal freedom first '' might not be as palatable as intended . |
2 | mr. deeds is , as comedy goes , very silly -- and in the best way . |
2 | my little eye is the best little `` horror '' movie i 've seen in years . |
1 | the plot plummets into a comedy graveyard before janice comes racing to the rescue in the final reel . |
0 | the master of disguise is awful . |
1 | it 's an actor 's showcase that accomplishes its primary goal without the use of special effects , but rather by emphasizing the characters -- including the supporting ones . |
1 | same song , second verse , coulda been better , but it coulda been worse . |
2 | the film is one of the year 's best . |
1 | that the chuck norris `` grenade gag '' occurs about 7 times during windtalkers is a good indication of how serious-minded the film is . |
1 | frida is certainly no disaster , but neither is it the kahlo movie frida fans have been looking for . |
2 | one of the year 's most weirdly engaging and unpredictable character pieces . |
0 | the three leads produce adequate performances , but what 's missing from this material is any depth of feeling . |
0 | the most surprising thing about this film is that they are actually releasing it into theaters . |
1 | warmed-over hash . |
0 | no , i hate it . |
0 | the film is like sitting in a downtown café , overhearing a bunch of typical late-twenty-somethings natter on about nothing , and desperately wishing you could change tables . |
2 | a rollicking ride , with jaw-dropping action sequences , striking villains , a gorgeous color palette , astounding technology , stirring music and a boffo last hour that leads up to a strangely sinister happy ending . |
2 | an hour and a half of joyful solo performance . |
2 | a triumph , a film that hews out a world and carries us effortlessly from darkness to light . |
2 | kinnear 's performance is a career-defining revelation . |
0 | if you 're over 25 , have an iq over 90 , and have a driver 's license , you should be able to find better entertainment . |
2 | for devotees of french cinema , safe conduct is so rich with period minutiae it 's like dying and going to celluloid heaven . |
1 | really dumb but occasionally really funny . |
0 | ... a plotline that 's as lumpy as two-day old porridge ... the filmmakers ' paws , sad to say , were all over this `` un-bear-able '' project ! |
1 | largely , this is a movie that also does it by the numbers . |
0 | lots of effort and intelligence are on display but in execution it is all awkward , static , and lifeless rumblings . |
2 | every moment crackles with tension , and by the end of the flick , you 're on the edge of your seat . |
2 | the imax screen enhances the personal touch of manual animation . |
0 | as pedestrian as they come . |
0 | sunk by way too much indulgence of scene-chewing , teeth-gnashing actorliness . |
2 | that 's fun for kids of any age . |
2 | raimi and his team could n't have done any better in bringing the story of spider-man to the big screen . |
