    Thank You for Smoking
    In some ways, Thank You for Smoking does not bemoan smoking as much as it bemoans people's willingness to be duped by smooth-tongued orators.

    Basic
    Buy your ticket, sit yourself down, and let ol' John take you for a ride. You'll have a blast.

    The White Countess
    It offers top actors in Fiennes and Richardson, plus a rare joint appearance by the sisters Redgrave.

    Woman Thou Art Loosed
    There's a power to Woman Thou Art Loosed that transcends its limitations, a determined, heartfelt belief in the possibility of redemption.

    Angel Eyes
    There's a moving, complicated love story at the center of Angel Eyes. It's too bad a peripheral plot line draws attention away from it.

    Criminal
    The performances of Luna and, especially, Reilly, make the film more enthralling than it perhaps deserves to be.

    The Final Cut
    A slick sci-fi thriller that comes complete with enough twists to keep audiences satisfied and enough moral quandaries to keep the thinkers happy.

    Live Free or Die Hard
    The film's action doesn't disappoint; if anything, it ups the adrenaline ante considerably.

    Riding in Cars with Boys
    Barrymore gives a performance that's nuanced, assured and captivating.

    Blues Brothers 2000
    Blues Brothers 2000 doesn't tell much of a story, but it makes for one smokin' concert. [06 Feb 1998]

    300
    Cinema has once again proven its ability to incorporate every other mass-media art form. Director Zack Snyder and his computer wizards have made the best example yet of the movie-as-comic-book.

    The Italian Job
    Fits squarely into the "exciting" category; it's a white-knuckler of the first order.

    The Prince and Me
    It's all done with such good heart, and Stiles is so perfectly appealing as one of cinema's most grounded Cinderellas.

    Clerks II
    Yes, the characters in Clerks II hardly qualify as role models, but they can be blisteringly funny in an in-your-face, to-heck-with-taste way.

    Failure to Launch
    There's comfort in seeing actors we know doing what we've come to expect them to do. But more important, the film surrounds them with supporting characters who are less familiar to us, who act in ways we don't expect.

    Barbershop
    Not everyone is going to appreciate the politics of Barbershop, but you've got to admire it for having a political view at all.

    The Bachelor
    Cheerful and unpretentious.

    Lord of War
    A bravura, resonant performance by Nicolas Cage, combined with some hard questions raised about American responsibility for the worldwide glut of firearms, make the film close to a must-see, if not a must-love.

    Definitely, Maybe
    All three actresses are appealing, but Fisher, proving her scene-stealing turn in Wedding Crashers was no fluke, shines brightest.

    The Forgotten
    This is a movie that earns its suspense and validates its emotions, especially its examination of the bond between mother and child.
    • 71 Metascore

    The Opportunists
    Playing a perpetual victim like Victor (Walken) might be easy, but making audiences want to watch him for 97 minutes isn't.
    • 62 Metascore

    Antwone Fisher
    A good film that, with a little extra care, could have been great.
    • 71 Metascore

    The Pledge
    Nicholson is terrific here, in a role that demands he act, rather than just be Jack.

    The Sweetest Thing
    Its effects don't linger long enough to seriously detract from the raunchy good time had by all.

    Adorenarin doraibu
    There's plenty to like about Adrenaline Drive, including the appealing, sympathetic performances of its two young stars and the tongue-in-cheek humor that pervades the film.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 66 Metascore

    The Eye
    Steadily, stealthily, The Eye works its way into your psyche, playing with your mind and always keeping a surprise or two up its sleeve.
    • 71 Metascore

    Swimming
    Swimming is perceptive and, ultimately, embraceable. Like the adolescent it so lovingly depicts, this is a movie you want only the best for.
