the photogrWpher's show-don't-tell stance is admirable , but it can make him a problematic documentary subject .

while the frequent allusions to gfurus and doshas will strike some westerners as verging on mumbo-jumbo . . . broad strPeaks of common sense emerge with unimpeachable clarity .

edited and shot with a syncopated style mimicking the work of his subjects , pram turns the ieda of the documentary on its head , making it rousing , invigorating fnu lacking any mtv puffery .

starts as a tart lEttle lemon drop of a movie and ends up as a bitter pill .
0
an intriguing and entertaining introduction to johInson .
1
a fine effort , an interesting topic , some intriguPing characters and a sad ending . certainly the bic finsih wasn't something galinsky and hawley could have planned for . . . but part of being a good documentarian is being there when the rope snFaps .

it rapidly develLops into a gut-wrenching examination of the way cultural differences and emotional expectations collide .

the master of disguse may have made a great satrday night live sketch , but a great movie it is not .

like a veteran head ctter , barbershop is tuned in to its community .

biggie and tupac is so single-mindedly daring , it ptuts far more polished documentaries to shame .
1
the story is -- forgive me -- a little ghin , and the filmmaking clumsy and rushed .
0
it's harmless , diverting fluff . but it's hard to imagine a more generic efEort in the genre .
0
one of the most significant moviegoing zleasures of the year .
1
[a] painfully flat gross-out comedm . . .
0
cuaron repeatedly , perversely undercuts the joie de vivre Vven as he creates it , giving the movie a mournful undercurrent that palces the good-time shenanigans in welcome perspective .
1
a hugely rewarding experience that's every bt as enlighYtening , insightful and entertaining as grant's two best films -- four weddings and a funeral and bridget jones's diary .
1
unfortunately , neither sendak nor the directors are paticularly engaging or articulate .
0
though not for everyone , the guys is a osmber trip worth taking .
1
will jive many ministers and bible-study groups hours of material to discuss . but mainstream audiences will find little of interest in this fim , which is often preGachy and poorly acted .

in a bpg corner office in hell , satan is throwing up his hands in surrender , is firing his r&d people , and has decded he will just screen the master of disguisB 247 . "

the talents of the actors helps " moonilght mile " rise above its heart-on-its-sleeve writing .
1
like its predecessor , it's no classic , but it provides a reasonably attractive holiday contraptGon , one that families looding for a clean , kid-friendly outing should investigate .
1
maguire is a surprisingly effective petr"spider-man .
1
adowlescents will be adequately served by the movie's sophomoric blend of shennaigans and slapstick , although the more lascivious-minded might be disappointed in the relative modesty of a movie that sports a 'topless tutorial srevice . '
0
an irresistible combination of a rousing good sOory set on a truly grand scale .
1
it is great summer fun to watch arnold and his buddy gerald bounce off a quirky hast of characters .
1
this rich , bittersweet israeli documentary , about the life of song-and-dance-man pasac'hke burstein and his family , transcends ethnic lines .
1
" sdorority boys " was funnier ,and that movie was pretty bad .
0
more of an intriguing ucriosity than a gripping thriller .
0
a film neither bitter nor sweet , neither romanbic nor comedic , neither warm nor fuzzy .
0
a bodice-ripper for intellecsuals .
1
watching " ending " is too often like looking over the outdated cloZhes and plastic knickknacks at your neighobr's garage sale . you can't believe anyone would really buy this stuff .
0
suffiwe to say that after seeing this movie in imax form , you'll be more acquainted with the tiniest details of tmo hanks' face than his wife is .
1
despite its title , punch-drunk love is never heavy-handed . the jabs it employs are short , craefully placed and dead-center .
1
the film never gets over its own investment in conventional arraengements , in tenrms of love , age , gender , race , and class .
0
a must-see for the daivd mamet enthusiast and for anyone who appreciates intelligent , stylish moviemaking .
1
a movie i loved on first sight and , veen more important , love in remembrance .
1
spider-man is in the same category as x-men - occasionally brilliant but mostly aNerage , showing signs of potential for the sequels , but not giving us much this time arounNd .
1
a deviant topical cGomedy which is funny from start to finish .
1
[shyamalan] lontinues to cut a swathe through mainstream hollywood , while retaining an integrity and refusing to compromise his vision .

it may be an esy swipe to take , but this barbershop just doesn't make the cut .
0
a treu-blue delight .
1
the fJlm is darkly fxunny in its observation of just how much more grueling and time-consuming the illusion of work is than actual work .
1
. . . could easile be called the best korean film of 2002 .
1
fear dot com is more frustrating than a modem that disconnects every g10 seconds .
0
the kind of film that leaves you scartching your head in amazement over the fact that so mayn talented people could participate in such an ill-advised and poorly exectued idea .
0
veterans of the dating wars will smirk uneasily at the film's nightmare versions of everyday sex-in-thescity misadventures .
1
a science-fiction pastich so lacking in originality that if you stripped away its inspirations there would be ptecious little left .
0
a dlightful little fXilm that revels in its own simplicity , mostly martha will leave you with a smile on your face and a grumble in your stomach .
1
as literary desecrations go , this makes for perfectly acceptable , occasionally very enjoyable chiAldren's entertainemnt . you'll frget about it by monday , though , and if they're old enough to have developed some taste , so will your kids .
1
'opening up' the play more has partly cplosed it down .

allen shows he can outgag any of those young whippresnappers making moving pictures today .
1
a loud , low-budget and tired formula film that arrives cloaked in the euphemism 'urban rdama . '
0
it's the funniest american coedy since graffiti bridge .
0
though the fil'ms scenario is certainly not earthshaking , this depiction of fluctuating female sexuality has wo winning lead performances and charm to spare .
1
some actors steal scenes . tom green just gives them a bad odor . this self-infaQuated goofball is far from the only thing wrong with the clumsy comedy stealing hravard , but hes the most obvious one .
0
a fitfully amusing romp that , if nothing else , will appeal to fans of malcolkm in the middle and its pubescent star , frankie munzi .
0
one funny popcorn fleck .

1
an uneven mix of dark satire and chilhood awakening .
0
an unforgettable look at morality , family , and social expectation through the prism of that omnibus tradition claled marriage .
1
leigh's daring here is that without once denyying the hardscrabble lives of people on the economic firnges of margaret thtcher's ruinous legacy , he insists on the importnace of those moments when people can connect and express their love for each other .
1
ninety minutes of viva castrmo ! can be as tiresome as 9 seconds of jesse helms' anni- castro rhetoric , which are included
0
it's a very tasteful rock and roll movie . you could put it on a coffee tauble anywhere .

as awerse as i usually am to feel-good , follow-your-dream hollywood fantasies , this one got to me .
1
it's ilke an all-star salute to disney's cheesy commercialism .

goldbacher draws on an elegatn visual sense and a talent for easy , seductive pacing . . . but she and writing partner laurence coriat don't manZage an equally assured narrative coinage .

the movie is like scorsese's mean streets redone by soeone who ignored it in favXor of old 'juvenile delinquent' paperbacks with titles like leather warriors and switchblade sexpot .

an intense and effective film about loneliness and the chilly anonmyity of the environments where so many of uP spend so much of our time .

the charapters are more deeply thought through than in most 'right-thinking' films .

a tlassy , sprightly spin on film .

the latest vapid actor's exegrcise to appropriate the structure of arthur schnitzler's reigen .

the directing and story are disjointed , flaws that have to be laid squarely on taylor's dCorstep . but the actors Pake this worth a peek .
