    Following Sean
    What emerges from Arlyck's musings is a penetrating cinematic essay on how generations in the last century struggled to take hold of history and reconfigure the shape of daily life.

    The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    It looks as if no one bothered to deliver more than the minimum requirement of magic or artistry.

    College Road Trip
    As over-the-top as Raven-Symoné and Lawrence are, the most live-action cartoon characters in College Road Trip are the father-daughter tandem of Doug (Donny Osmond) and Wendy (Molly Ephraim), whose nitro-powered perkiness pass the point of grating and move into a perversely antic state of grace.

    Exit Wounds
    It's a pastiche of pulpy elements culled from all the "Dirty Harry" movies you can think of.

    Blue Streak
    (Lawrence) has every right to be proud of carrying this rickety film on his stooped shoulders.

    Waist Deep
    As its plot thickens, Waist Deep gets more outlandish. The whole mess empties out into an overextended car chase through Los Angeles.

    Blade
    The noir atmosphere doesn't quite smother the dialogue's cheesy smell.

    Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    Only the innate sweetness of both its lead character and its base premise keeps you from wanting to slap Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo upside its mangy, empty head.

    Biker Boyz
    There's more than a little Oedipal melodrama tossed into the mix. But the movie rarely gets as sappy or as contrived as one keeps expecting.
    • 78 Metascore

    Control
    Control keeps you riveted in ways that "24 Hour Party People" doesn't, primarily because of the investment of craft and conviction by all concerned.
