Spins in its own orbit and dares the audience to come into its weirdly one-of-a-kind environment. This is a delightful work of humor which is worthy of Spielberg-level praise.- Film Threat

Sadly, Naqoyqatsi quickly degenerates into a monotonous skein of banal images which strangely reinforces the message that we're living in a damn dull society.- Film Threat

Being released at the same time that Bowie's latest album "Heathen" is being unveiled. Bowie fans who need a reason to celebrate the trajectory of the artist's career can make use of this cinematic Alpha and CD Omega.- Film Threat

After sitting through this movie, you will want to throw something more pungent than rice at The Groomsmen.- Film Threat

Cimino fashioned a deep, multi-textured screenplay rich with fully dimensional characters. His ensemble cast brought the story to vivid life. Kristofferson gave a career peak performance here as a man who seems perpetually out of his element.- Film Threat

One of the most effective, intelligent, mature and romantic love stories to come across the screen recently is, of all things, a documentary.- Film Threat

While imperfect, it does provide an intriguing glimpse into a subculture, which many people will be surprised to learn, still exists.- Film Threat

A delightfully silly romp which reinvents the legendary Italian lover's adventures into the realm of broad farce.- Film Threat

Easily the most surprising comedy of his career. The surprise: it's not funny.- Film Threat

By the time the film is over it is not so much a "who-done-it?" but a "why-did-we-sit-through-this?"- Film Threat

It is an entertaining bit of fluff, with a few engaging performances and enough visual panache to keep audiences diverted and amused.- Film Threat

A mediocre film that presents the troubled poet Sylvia Plath as a jealous, possessive and irritating woman. It is hard to recall another biopic which is so unflattering to its subject.- Film Threat

It is a shame the film doesn't cast a wider net into deeper political waters – the outrage is barely scratched in this production.- Film Threat

At 100 minutes in running time, Dallas 362 can be called "The Amateur Hour-and-40-Minutes."- Film Threat

While I admire Bishop Jakes and I frequently watch his sermons on TV, I have to question his tactic of charging people admission to generate hosannas on his behalf.- Film Threat

It is a horrifying and devastating spectacle of life gone dreadfully out of control, yet it is also riveting and hypnotic in such a dramatic sensation that you are left breathless by the sequence of events which will haunt and torture for as long as your memory remains intact.- Film Threat

To its credit, the film's costume design is stunning. But unless you have a kimono fetish, there's no reason to pay a good dollar (or a yen, for that matter) on this junk.- Film Threat
