In the somewhat muted lead role, Huppert really is a marvel.

It's such a dumb movie, it's hard to believe it wasn't an SNL sketch first.

Where earlier Moore films showcased a fair amount humor, even when covering weighty topics, Fahrenheit – especially the latter half – gives us Moore at his most serious.

It may not be great but you're guaranteed to feel great walking out the theater door.

The message is clear, and powerfully told.

Top it off with a cameo by the real-life Phil Kaufman, and you've got a rock'n'roll road movie like no other. Wherever he is, Gram should get a kick out of it.

A consuming and stimulating work and a theoretical thriller, it is a film which could only be created by a remarkably skillful filmmaker.

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

Before approaching the end of the film the seduction of the doctor is not that important because by that time the audience has already fallen under the spell.

There's just something maddeningly upbeat about this film's shameless hokiness. Combine that with the film's colorful art and wardrobe designs, spiffy choreography, the joy of seeing some veteran faces on screen for the first time in a while, and a soundtrack that'll make even the dead tap their toes, and Swing simply makes for some serious jump-jivin' fun.

Isn't going to win over the art house crowd, but you could do a lot worse for summer entertainment.

The story and themes behind The Stepford Wives are way past their time. They’re products of the 1960s.

Overall, Garfield's first movie might not be as amusing as the cartoon but it was still a lot of fun to watch.

The cast playing these eccentric characters is magnificent...This is definitely one of the most unique comedies you’ll see all year.

A well-intended but hopelessly ill-focused documentary which wants to be the "That's Entertainment!" for the New York theater but seems like a hodgepodge of anecdotes, factoids and moldy memories.

Quirky, entertaining documentary.

Eminently successful at portraying the former first lady's flaws because it allows her to describe them herself.

If my moviegoing experience was magical in any way, it was only in that I once or twice nodded off for a spell.

A meandering and disappointing documentary about one of Africa's most beloved yet elusive musical giants.

Fascinating and beautiful film.

Powerful, infuriating, and ultimately sobering. Make an effort to see it.

Deadline contributes reason and passion to the ongoing debate about whether civilized nations should employ the ultimate punishment and how justly it is administered.

A raw, brutal, hypnotic journey into the world of seven heroin addicts who barely survive on the streets of New York City. It is a film of great sadness and pain.

The really good news is that the disaster money shots are some of the finest ever filmed.

A lot better than one would expect. It's amusing, it's inspired and hey, it's a lot wittier than the last two "Scary Movies" combined. Though, like most lampoons, it runs out of steam about half way through.

A heartfelt and incredibly resonant ode to his father's achievement, Mario's film relives the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the making of Melvin's pioneering effort.

Bukowski is one of my all time favorite writers and now I have an all new respect for the man thanks to John Dullaghan’s phenomenal film. I’ll be breaking out “Post Office,” “Ham On Rye,” and “Notes of a Dirty Old Man” again very soon.

Saved! is just a sweet and funny movie that starts off with bite but settles into an honest feeling of happiness and acceptance for all types of people and their choices.

Because much of the dialogue exchanged between the brothers and some of Kyle’s auditory flashbacks allude to situations that aren’t clarified until over sixty minutes of the film have passed, there’s strong motivation to pay attention.

As Leth overcomes each obstacle set before him, the film becomes a work of extraordinary artistry, intellectual exhilaration, emotional uplift, and outright affection.

The script offers up some deviously clever twists and dark laughs reminiscent of the over-maligned French (coincidence?) Stewart spite-a-thon, “Love Stinks,” only with a jaunty European twist.

Here's the sliver of hope: In contrast to everything we've been told, the people who run Al Jazeera turn out to be decent and level headed.

Though there's nothing especially terrible about Stateside, there's nothing terribly special about it either.

Serves up heaping helpings of everything fans loved about the first.

This is clearly not a pleasant film to watch on many levels.

Wolfgang Petersen's popcorn epic doesn't fail exactly. It just takes on too much. Modern man is at something of a disadvantage-even aided by his trusty muse, the computer-when presuming to bring the stuff of gods, myths and timeless sacred texts to the big screen.

A large, magnificent cast brings this story vividly to life, supported by superb art direction and technical contributions. Capped by Babenco's vigorous, often ferocious direction, the film is a towering achievement, offering an unforgettable portrayal of the lives and plight of the forgotten.

My only question is, how did they ensnare you, Eugene?

Sommers suspends the laws of time and physics and forces his characters to spout some of the cheesiest dialogue imaginable.

A film that's every bit as odd, unique, and unnerving as its title character.

While the Raymond Burr sequences and the subsequent clumsy English dubbing of the remaining Japanese footage made the U.S. version an unintentionally funny movie, the complete Japanese version is an unfunny bore.

For nothing but pure goofy escapism, A Foreign Affair is at least worth a fling.

Another astute independent comedy shot on a small budget and boasting high laugh-per-minute ratio. But these are good laughs, not your average sitcom laughs.

Beyond any contention is Morgan Spurlock's gift for metabolizing common knowledge into uncommonly entertaining cinema.

It may not feature the funniest performances Stiller, Walken and Black have ever given but, these three guys giving performances just this funny is enough to make Envy a movie you'll end up kicking yourself for missing.

When is a horror movie not a horror movie? When it’s a strained, by-the-numbers production that limps to an unlikely conclusion like Godsend.

The most painful part of seeing this movie is not the fact that it fails to deliver but that it actually came close.

It is Fey’s refusal to talk down to her audience that elevates Mean Girls above most other teen movies out there.

Insanely inventive and brimming with exceptional performances, The Saddest Music in the World is as audacious as it is entertaining.

Does it have its moments? A few, but those alone put it head and shoulders above similar offerings featuring, say, Julia Roberts.

Seriously, someone needs to stage an intervention, sit Scott down, and tell him that repeated jump cuts, slow-motion shots, and fiddling around with the exposure don’t enhance the viewing experience.

The film reveals a man whose wiry build, relentless passion, fearless guile, and bravery made him a beloved human rights activist in his strife-ridden country.

The photography alone would make this a worthwhile effort, but the drama that unfolds over the two years on tour is equally involving and framed by the interviews with former champions.

“Volume Two” is what they call a movie-lover’s movie, in that it’s replete with references to just about everything a cinema geek would appreciate.

The movie lives up to its “R” rating in the final scenes, but it’s too little too late.

A young man wanders the streets looking for love. There you have most of the plot of Julián Hernández's masterful debut feature. But what a rich cinematic journey this is!

This is a finely crafted film for grown-ups only ... and it's hard to remember the last time we had one that was this provocative and moving.

A dull film, inspired by a true story.

While the massacre is a wall-shaking and effective bit of high decibel drama, some of the movie's best moments come during the Texans' long brave wait for almost certain death.

Really doesn't take itself seriously. In fact, it so doesn't take itself seriously that it has a negative impact on the film.

It's got everything the genre calls for – boppy music, cute boys, cute girls, lots of sexual lingo, and most importantly, laughs.

I’m Not Scared manages to convey a truthful approach to the beginning of the end of childhood.

Hellboy just might end up being one of the best movies you see this year.

Has a wacky charm and a feeling like no other Disney film in recent years.

Is there really a deep hidden meaning (DHM) to redeem this hopelessly dry and nebulous film? No, at least nothing that hasn't been done better before.

Thoroughly entertaining and will possibly get you thinking about certain choices you've made in your life.

My conception of “punk” must differ from the creators of Tamala 2010. The lead character is feisty enough (she says “f---” a lot), and even skateboards, but she’s owned lock, stock, and oversized eyeballs by the Big Evil Corporation.

Has more heart up on the screen than any film I’ve seen in recent years. I mean, we’re talking sappy, sweet, heart wrenching sentimentality.

The picture ranks with the brothers' best mid level output-not as sublime as "Fargo" or "Barton Fink" but infinitely more satisfying than "The Big Lebowski" or "Intolerable Cruelty".

If Dogville has a reason for importance, it is the astonishing all-star ensemble who try very hard to put life into their cardboard characters and make this silly film work.

Compulsory viewing for anyone with the slightest interest in rock history or the power of celebrity.

It’s an exciting movie filled with plenty of action, adventure, beautiful cinematography and best of all, terrific performances.

Little kids should like this film. But the smarter humor and in-jokes from the first are gone, which is going to lose a lot of the older audience.

Fresh, heartfelt and ultimately heartbreaking in its honest portrayal of a modern relationship.

Has a lot going for it, but two-thirds of the way through, things fall apart. The film’s weaknesses are directly tied to the narrative.

First time director Zack Snyder has done an amazing job of creating a sense of doom and dread while sprinkling it with some wicked humor and amazing music.

Performances are spot-on from the entire cast; each memorable character is finely detailed and full of eccentricities that are beautifully underplayed.

The worst sin of omission in Secret Window is the removal of the fact that Rainey had actually plagiarized in the past. In the story, this is critical because it is the source of Rainey’s guilt -– and arguably the reason for his success.

Painfully boring.

This is a serious look at the corrupting influences of fame, money and entertainment, and what it says about us may be even more damning than what it says about its participants.

This tired old pile of garbage will hopefully be chased out of town soon.

Nothing more than a big old chunk of horse poop.

This amazing tour-de-force presents Huppert in a role, which is equal parts abrasive and vulnerable, exasperating and pathetic, monstrous and saintly.

Broken Lizard manages to poke fun at the genre without falling into the trap of recycling old Scooby-Doo jokes.

This cinematic train wreck reminds me of when Hollywood decided to cash in on the success of “Chinatown” by making a sequel...

Relies heavily on strong performances from Brühl and Sass to make the illusion believable.

While it fails to shed significant new light on its subject, Gibson's film and the all-Jesus-all-the-time attention from the media it's attracted do tell us something somewhat disconcerting about the state of American culture: That the way to make a religion based on love and forgiveness relevant today is to turn it into violent entertainment.

Like all good films, it raises these types of questions, answering some, and leaving some for you to answer yourself.

Overall, this is just another boxing movie with few surprises and an awkward message to viewers.

If you go in thinking it’s just a stupid teenage sex comedy, it can be pretty funny.

Not exactly screwball, and not exactly sentimental, but an uneasy and uncertain mix of the two.

Truly magnificent.

If you've got the opportunity to have someone as talented and game for anything as Swinton, you really owe it to her to give her a real movie to be in.

As corny as it is, there’s a lot of heart to 50 First Dates. But this happens more in spite of Adam Sandler than because of him. The heart comes from Drew Barrymore, really, and some of the supporting cast.

This is a great little thriller with some genuinely creepy moments.

I was hoping to be blown away, but was left feeling much like the iPerson in the "Machine Love" segment -- kind of cold.

It ain’t high art, but it is a fun flick.

It’s not a great film, and it does rely a bit too much on the “evil bank” motif, but it might be worth a Saturday afternoon with the kids.
