While the film is flawed, lacks desperately needed humor and is filled with cliches, the attempt to explore the human cost of all those cool explosions and destruction is an admirable one.

What's so disappointing is that the film had so much potential as a concept. The story slowly degenerates into a plodding, sappy bore.

This delicately observed story, deeply felt and masterfully stylized, is a triumph for its maverick director.

It's disappointing that he (Soderbergh) couldn't make something more cohesive out of his admirable experiment.

Unfortunately, the problems with Jedi cannot be fixed even with the best digital software in the galaxy: the weak story (another death star assault, another visit to Dagobah, the exotic planet of the trees, annoying teddy bears), the bad performances..., the burp jokes (three in the first half hour--I guess I missed the toilet humor in the first two) and Luke's bizarre-looking hair mop. It's sad. [Special Edition]

Empire is an entertaining, colorful, action-filled crime story with an intimate heart.

An adequate attempt, but sorry, it's just not groundbreaking.

Like Ed Wood with a decent budget and a vision impaired by mind-expanding drugs, Christmas on Mars is about just that.

Celebrated actor Lin Chung, whose voice seems to articulate something within himself.

Not for me, and in spite of that, I found it really funny, smart and sweet. I enjoyed it.

Kinda makes you think about how important seemingly minor events in life are. Not really.

Takes us into the heart of the desperate, needy, funny, alternately glamorous and sleazy world of the international movie business.

Misses the boat by essentially acting as a positive press release for the now-defunct Kozmo.com.

This is really one of those Rorschach test films. You either love it or hate it. For those who loved it, I have only one word: overrated.

Succeeds at pushing the technology as well as and offering intelligent family fare that won't leave adults bored. Great fun.

A sometimes gripping but mostly routine shoot-em-up about Muslim terrorism in American.

There is energy to this film that is somewhat different from Nunez's others. Along with a terrific cast, Nunez keeps the action driving forward: dangerous, sexy, and conflicted.

A moving and stark reminder that the casualties of war reach much further than we imagine.
