    Levity
    Nobody can convey more while doing nothing than Thornton. And while his minimalist style is appropriate for the ironically named Levity, what is conveyed never quite generates the emotional charge of "Monster's Ball."

    Best in Show
    I found myself roaring at the grotesque way some of the characters talk to their pets, pausing only briefly when I realized that I do precisely the same thing.

    Black Knight
    Goes by relatively swiftly and painlessly, despite the completely ragtag nature of its construction, but there is not an inspired moment in it.

    Green Dragon
    The film is often moving and explores the discomfort inherent in the contacts between the American "hosts" and their "guests," but its effect is diluted by slow pacing and lengthiness.

    Blade
    At best, second-rate pulp, hampered by excessive length, a thematically meandering screenplay, and a general lack of excitement.

    Pi
    Whatever its faults -- and it has more than a few -- it is unquestionably different. It at least takes a stab at interpolating cerebral ideas into the format of a thriller.

    The Annihilation of Fish
    An amusing trifle. There are few comic staples less convincing or more timeworn than charming lunatics in love, and the only thing that lifts this film beyond TV-movie quality is Jones' performance.

    Training Day
    Washington creates an indelibly charming and terrifying character whose volatile blend of dedication and horrible expediency keeps us off balance.

    Iris
    Dench is wholly extraordinary in a characterization that is frequently muted, literally and necessarily.

    Lawrence of Arabia (re-release)
    Released in 1962, it was pretty clearly the most intelligent spectacular within living memory. On its 40th anniversary, it's even better.

    Va Savoir (Who Knows?)
    The film could be subtitled "Six Characters in Search of an Ending:" When they find that ending, it is gently, delightfully uplifting.

    What Time Is It Over There?
    Those with an interest in new or singular sorts of film experiences will find What Time Is It There? well worth the time.
