  1. Maybe the best way to see Serendipity is to take a cue from the characters and wait a few years.
    • Baltimore Sun
  2. You may find Va Savoir pleasant to sit through, but will it stay with you the next morning? Who knows?
  3. This is Forster's show, and he doesn't disappoint.
    • Baltimore Sun
  4. Maybe this is a psychological thriller after all: Every thinking member of the audience will be driven insane.
  5. Well-paced, scathingly funny satire of the fashion industry and its eminently lampoonable pomposity.
    • Baltimore Sun
  6. It's not hell, but limbo, junior high-school style.
  7. Fans of anime probably will find Vampire Hunter D plenty thrilling. Non-fans, or those not familiar with the genre, will enjoy the film's gothic atmosphere, but may wonder what all the fuss is about.
    • Baltimore Sun
  8. A great adventure.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 12 Critic Score
    Liam's deck is stacked. It's too bleak and filled with abrasive characters who don't deserve our sympathy to reveal much new about the human condition.
    • Baltimore Sun
  9. Glitter does no one any favors.
    • Baltimore Sun
  10. Delivers deliciously low blows at corporate America, office politics and the lengths people will go to avoid work.
    • Baltimore Sun
  11. As shallow and manipulative a movie as any that come to mind.
    • Baltimore Sun
  12. The blend of chic histrionics and ultra-bright daylight imagery make much of the movie resemble a network soap opera with an on-location interlude. It looks as cheap as life is held in Medellin.
  13. Rock Star neither touches a raw nerve nor garners any resonance as a period piece. You'd be better off renting "This is Spinal Tap."
  14. One of the year's most unsettling -- and perhaps most illuminating -- films.
    • Baltimore Sun
  15. O
    This turgid melodrama fast-breaks away from the heart of its own subject.
  16. The whole cast is good. It's too bad all that good work isn't in service to a better, or certainly more original, script.
    • Baltimore Sun
  17. A friendly movie, as scruffy and cozy as a woolen watch cap.
  18. "Happy Accidents" should retire Tomei's status as part of a show-biz urban legend and establish her once and for all as one of our most versatile and engaging performers.
    • Baltimore Sun
  19. It's deliciously warped, deceptively smart and undeniably funny. Isn't that enough?
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 21 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fuzzy, feel-good movie about baseball, babes and believing in yourself.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 41 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    It seems that in the movies, at least, there is a limit to how far low expectations can take you.
    • Baltimore Sun
  20. The problem with Allen's latest, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, is "Not enough Double Indemnity."
  21. Although it's in the same genre as "The English Patient," it's a vastly better movie --more surprising and original, more rigorous and sympathetic. This film is oddly shaped. It is also heartbreaking and exhilarating.
  22. It's a sad day for film lovers when the best thing that can be said about a Western is that it's pleasant.
    • Baltimore Sun
  23. Despite these flaws, people sick of gross-out films and teen-sex comedy may be so hungry for farce that they laugh.
  24. David Hyde Pierce is hilarious as Drix, a take-charge dose of medicine. No performer is better at wringing laughs from an unflappable --- make that semi-flappable - delivery.
  25. For a movie with such a vibrant real-life base, An American Rhapsody is surprisingly low-impact.
  26. The images here are graphic and disturbing. But Miike somehow manages to stop just short of disgusting.
    • Baltimore Sun
  27. The movie's jabbing originality is what sticks in your memory.
