    Est - Ouest
    Feels like an old-fashioned movie in the way it deals with bold sacrifices made in the name of love, while its setting and chary view of the era's political machinations mark it as distinctly modern.

    My Dog Skip
    Certainly there are people who will welcome this kind of "wholesome" family entertainment, but it feels false.

    Enduring Love
    Movie love is usually so idealized it ennobles behavior that ordinarily would be considered stalking. Enduring Love deliberately smudges the line between what is bizarre and what is simply human nature.

    The Best Man
    Makes a fine date movie...thanks to its life-affirming view of friendship, love and honor.

    Dogville
    Surprises, repulses and provokes. It's also brilliant and infuriating, wise and naïve, outrageous yet unforgettable.

    Morlang
    The movie ever so slowly builds to a startling finale, one that puts new meaning into passive-aggressive relationships.

    City of Ghosts
    The hand-held camera is much too insinuating for what is essentially a story we have seen many times before. And the cuts and transitions are dizzyingly abrupt.

    The Emperor's New Clothes
    In a hilarious bit of actorly sleight-of-hand, Holm (who is not new to the role of Napoleon, having it played it twice before) slips effortlessly from emperor to impostor.

    The X Files
    Truth is, it' not very good.

    Femme Fatale
    Sexy, witty, energetic and gorgeous, but it is as stripped of the human element (in some of its production design, as well) as a minimalist Calvin Klein store.

    The Delta
    The movie then becomes John's story, making an unbelievable leap of psychodrama to do so.

    Everybody's Famous!
    A delightful comedic twist on Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy."

    Reconstruction
    This languorous art movie is somewhat like "Memento," with its narrative fragments and memory mixups. It never explains itself, which means that the audience, like the protagonists, must take a leap of faith.

    New York Minute
    A bit of a slog for anyone not thoroughly Olsenized.

    Flightplan
    The plot is contingent on everything going perfectly in ways no one can possibly predict, right down to the most outlandish happenstance of timing and human behavior.

    Illuminata
    Beneath the noisy, farcical surface of John Turturro's Illuminata is a thoughtful and unusually mature meditation on love.

    Gangster No. 1
    The movie's key asset is young Bettany as a worthy successor to the "Clockwork Orange" tradition of McDowell. With Bettany, a star is born, even if his character is horrific.

    Happy Accidents
    D'Onofrio is a natural for the role of a romantic who just may be a freak. A highly physical actor, he ranges between sweetly awkward and a candidate for the kind of mental hospital shown in "Session 9."
