  1. A majority oriented movie that assumes sophisticated familiarity with a sexual minority.
  2. While Rodriguez punches through the indie clutter to announce herself as a superb new movie talent, so Kusama scores big points in her first main event.
  3. Denzel Washington, by now, could do this sort of role in his sleep.
  4. You giggle every so often, but you never give yourself over to the characters.

    Pits the two actors against each other in a ''long night of the soul'' talkathon that director Stephen Hopkins' jerky editing techniques can't quite spark into sustained life.
  5. Has all the mood enhancing flavor of a tropical cocktail made with watered down rum and fake fruit juice.
  6. An affecting, old fashioned, antiwar war story.
  7. Like a naive modernist hymn made by someone who doesn't, deep down, believe in hymns.
  8. The dramatic power, though, comes entirely from the eloquence of old people, shot in medium close-up, barely moving as they remember things.

    A leaden piece of whimsy that looks for profound life lessons among a group of karaoke bar aficionados.
  9. Acompelling, cant free drama about clashing class systems and challenged family relationships that's all the more engrossing for its organic, near documentary style.
  10. A somber, draggy, deadweight, lugubrious, absurdly self serious version of ''American Beauty.''

    A tired action thriller determined to play the race card every which way for every which kind of viewer, seems hopelessly behind the curve.
  11. Crowe, staying close to his memories, has gotten it, for perhaps the first time, onto the screen.
  12. There's only one Carax, uncompromisingly ambiguous.
  13. Reeves is a stiff dancer and he delivers his lines in a full leather jacket monotone.
  14. After all of its sadness, a tender redemptive glow.
  15. The superb screenplay won an award at Cannes this year for good reason.
  16. Plays like an unusually ritzy festival circuit audition film, though McQuarrie, it must be said, aces the audition.
  17. The endless, numbing sameness of it all.
  18. The trouble with Whipped isn't that its characters are dirty mouthed horndog jerks -- it's that they're phony dirty mouthed horndog jerks.
  19. More noteworthy for its intentions than its execution.
  20. The dialogue is chintzy and rhythmless.
  21. This sunny ode to brotherhood, made on a tiny budget, goes a fair distance on good vibes.
  22. Each man's shtick swells into a frenzy of overacting.
  23. It's like Woodstock without the mud, and it leaves you feeling clean.
  24. A "Romeo and Juliet" tragedy of surprising power.
  25. The Dutch born Janssen sparkles serenely.
  26. It's an okay brat movie.
