    Better Living Through Circuitry
    It's got a good beat, you can dance to it.

    Abandon
    Sometimes, typecasting works: Holmes and Bratt settle comfortably into their roles, and the movie proves a competently made, mildly diverting collegiate thriller -- at least until its all-too-predictable ''twist'' ending.

    The Legend of 1900
    It's usually a good idea to avoid anything billed as ''a fable,'' but The Legend of 1900 offers almost enough merits to warrant an exception

    Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie
    Bouncy animation and catchy songs keep the film from tasting too much like spinach.
    • 38 Metascore

    Empire
    Leguizamo owns Empire, the first film to capture the live-wire crackle of his one-man stage shows -- He's front and center in nearly every scene, and he holds the screen with a simmering self-assurance.

    The Hustler
    Paul Newman won his Best Actor Oscar for its 1986 sequel, The Color of Money, but he executed an equally award-worthy turn in Robert Rossen’s jazzy, boozy pool-hall morality play.

    Fantasia 2000
    Oh well, back to the drawing board.
    • 91 Metascore

    Halloween
    Carpenter's brutally efficient exercise in tension and release.
    • 51 Metascore

    Wild Bill
    Wild Bill succeeds as a character study of a man whose idiosyncratic code of justice eventually catches up with him. Bridges’ performance is a masterstroke of squinty-eyed bitterness, and he gets colorful support from Ellen Barkin (as kitten with a whip Calamity Jane) and John Hurt (as a dissipated British dandy).
