  1. Moretti makes this ''study'' in despair a naggingly neutral, at times borderline coy experience.
  2. The sequence serves no real purpose beyond dazzle for dazzle's sake, but when you're watching it, that's purpose enough.
  3. The fact that Allen wrote the script in the '70s explains something about why his newest movie feels so old.
  4. The chemical energy between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible.
  5. This is just silliness run mildly wild.
  6. Using the droll, wise stories of Etgar Keret as her guide, Israeli filmmaker Tatia Rosenthal concocts an artful film that expresses deep thoughts, lightly.
  7. Cheery, silly, splattery, and respectful of its elders (and betters, particularly Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead").
  8. Spells out the problem in clear, urgent, prosaic terms.
  9. The double role suits Rockwell perfectly -- in fact, it suits him a little too well.
  10. Food, Inc. is hard to shake, because days after you've seen it, you may find yourself eating something -- a cookie, a piece of poultry, cereal out of the box, a perfectly round waxen tomato -- and you'll realize that you have virtually no idea what it actually is.
  11. Scott gets into the zip and rush of urban energy with an enthusiasm bordering on hilarity.
  12. There's something sweet about the way that Murphy throws himself into this piffle. Thomas Haden Church does too.
  13. Like Orson Welles, Francis Ford Coppola has gone from being the filmmaker of his time to becoming a make-it-up-as-you-go-along indie free-shooter.
  14. Overall it's more amusing than hilarious.
  15. Moreau is bewitching -- she simply breathes her role, without a hint of vanity.
  16. A gilded entry in the cinema du quirk. It's a movie that invites you, all too often, to feel superior to the people on screen.
  17. Land of the Lost has stray amusing tidbits, but overall it leaves you feeling splattered.
  18. The film is so brazen about its pandering, crumple-hearted silliness that it had me rooting for Vardalos to land her big fat Greek stud-muffin.
  19. There are brutal scenes with razor blades and other impromptu devices of erotic torment, but what makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes.
  20. Mariah Carey is perfectly fine playing a waitress who dreams of becoming, yes, a singer -- even if the superstar's presence in such a small venture seems jarring.
  21. Up
    A lovely, thoughtful, and yes, uplifting adventure.
  22. Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years.
  23. Departures is tender and, at times, rather squishy. It's sure to squeeze the tear ducts of anyone who has lost a parent.
  24. Think of this witty, economically gory little tour de force as "28 Days Later" written by linguist Noam Chomsky.
  25. The Girlfriend Experience is one of Steven Soderbergh's bite-size, semi-improvised, shot-on-DV doodles (like Bubble or Full Frontal), and it's the best one he's made.
  26. Jack Nicholson's dyspeptic retiree in "About Schmidt" would no doubt identify with O'Horten's entertaining pain.
  27. The picture itself is only mechanically breezy.
  28. Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing.
  29. Enjoyably dirty-minded sendup of when-ballet-met-hip-hop youth musicals.
  30. It's basically a zombie movie with machines instead of the walking dead.
