  1. In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.
  2. Passionate and saucy comedy.
  3. Never tickles your nasty bone, perhaps because, in an era when the gossip pages are dotted with news of celebrity prenups, the prospect of marriage as a route to instant fortune seems less scandalous than it does like business as usual.
  4. A black comedy in the form of vicarious serial punishment.

    Maquiling has built and sustained a mood of lovely comic aplomb. Like one of its hero's daydreams, the film evaporates on contact and leaves a serene glow.
  5. In its low grade way, this blithely brutal cops and drugs thriller is an efficient hot wire entertainment.
  6. As compelling as it is bizarre.
  7. Memento, which may be the ultimate existential thriller, has a spooky repetitive urgency that takes on the clarity of a dream.
  8. The one valuable prize for audiences in this war pic Cracker Jack box is Jude Law. Once again the talented Mr. Law makes more of a role than most movies know what to do with.
  9. It's a lovely, original, Australian take on a climactic moment usually thought of as all American.
  10. All too content to be a comedy of surfaces and stereotypes. And because, for all the novelty of the bisexual romantic angle, there's something about Jessica, her New York-singleton ticks and her Jewish-family tocks, that feels...old.
  11. The movie luxuriates in cinema references while laughing at its own fetishes -- a neat talent.
  12. Is less an end in itself than an excuse, a jumping off point for showy, contrived, borderline exploitation sequences that fail to tie together because they're not really there to do anything but sell themselves as money shot thrills.
  13. The only performer I enjoyed watching was Martin Short, who plays a bitch dandy music teacher with a smile so fake that the comedian seems to be acting with his gums.
  14. Written by Mr. ''Full Monty'' himself, Simon Beaufoy, and, like ''Monty,'' sprinkles pixie dust over the heads of worn out local folk.
  15. Feels delightfully organic, eccentrically rambling, the found artistic collage of a woman who herself loves to collect.
  16. Casé, with her sturdy, elemental body and shining eyes, is the reason phrases like ''inner beauty'' were invented, and she's also the reason this idealistic, naturalistic film by Rio de Janeiro born Andrucha Waddington has been such a success at festivals around the world.
  17. There is pleasure in giving oneself up to the gusty swirls of the film's imagery, and especially to the handsome grandeur of its star.
  18. Personally, I'd say that it was about time Arquette was leashed.
  19. It's not the fault of "The Sopranos" charismatic, beefy star (Gandolfini) that he's an actor of such substance and quiet ardor as to make idle movie star ribbitting look frivolous.
  20. The murder as entertainment premise of Series 7 is proof that even the blackest of humor is no longer particularly outrageous.
  21. There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place.
  22. Moving and eerily beautiful.
  23. This is a high octane ride that starts to leak gas before it even gets going.
  24. The subtle selectivity of Leconte's eye, how he moves with great control from gesture to gesture, is matched by the disciplined intensity of the performances.
  25. The film defuses all preconceptions about the ''issues'' of transsexual identity to arrive at a place of tremulous human power.
  26. If you've always longed to see a Cold War satire done in the hit 'em over the head frantic camp mode of ''Love, American Style,'' then Company Man is the movie for you.
  27. When Rock finds his authentic swing as an actor as well as a comedian, he'll be, like, a movie god.
  28. A very low grade romantic drama indeed, a love story with all the life and death intensity of a heat rash.
  29. Creator producers Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere have come up with some unexceptional children and underdeveloped adults.
