    Overall, I have to recommend the film for its alternate take on the whole "Leaving Las Vegas," "Basketball Diaries," "Less Than Zero" drug-induced tragedy genre.

    Quezon’s Game adds something that is missed in war films as well as history books.
  1. 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.

    It’s tough to watch, and you will fight the urge to walk out but stick with it.
  2. Turistas fails in almost every way a movie like this can.

    Undeniably fun for the kids, though it requires a camp sensibility in its adult audience. But in doing so, it is a warm return to the live-action Disney movies of yesteryear.
  3. The fourth best virtual reality film of 1999. The best is "The Matrix". The second best is "eXistenZ". The third best, well, there's got to be something better than this.
  4. The Reaping isn't a total failure. Swank is never less than competent.
  5. If What Happens in Vegas... serves any purpose, it's to make me consider spending my gambling money in Reno or on a riverboat instead.

    The movie fails on nearly every level. The film is has good intentions and moments of energy, but it's merely a faint echo of the great 1960s counterculture pictures.
  6. Yes, the film is an allegorical modern fairy tale with plenty of pretty obvious social commentary, but if I can't identify with one character or be made to care, then what's the point?
  7. Worthy of attention. Susman has put together a well-crafted, witty commentary on corporate culture and the deals all of us make with ourselves to come to terms with modern existence.
  8. The story is enhanced by solid performances all around by Bonnie Hunt, Aidan Quinn and Kevin Pollack.

    For devotees of the series, the gore is still there and the traps are just as weird as they were in the other entries but for the rest of us, your mind will forget it the second the end credits roll.
  9. The direction keeps things visually engaging, and the editing is flawless. Sadly, for me, the stories don’t connect well enough to justify the whole fated aspect and all but a single song, in this musical, are some of the worst I have had to ever endure.

    Knights of the Zodiac is a good production in terms of its action and cast. But when one focuses so much on the fantasy-action set-pieces, having a soulless story makes all efforts fall flat.
  10. A sweet, introspective, and touching story serves as the heart of this outrageous and twisted dark comedy.
  11. Packs a full plate of gasps and giggles.
  12. Technically impressive horror film and sometimes fun to watch, but totally undistinguished.

    It’s a good-looking movie overall.

    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!
  13. The whole thing feels like a continuation of Lucas' experiments to see how much sh-- his dwindling supporters will take before finally saying "enough" and moving on to adult pursuits.
  14. The action is dumb, the plot is weak, and the story is pitiful. Venom is a bad movie, yet surprisingly I still loved the hell out of it.
  15. The major weakness in Jumper is the piling on of action and narrative in the last ten to twelve minutes. It's as though the editor was rushing to meet a deadline and did the best he could with too much footage.
  16. At least the 20 people who saw it with me -- found it hysterically funny. On the other hand, they all seemed pretty stoned.

    Polson offers up a few chilling scares, but the underwritten screenplay really does show off its weaknesses.

    Overall, the movie’s performances are good, not great, but enjoyable nonetheless.
  17. A monstrosity of a movie that I am all too eager to forget.
  18. Sommers suspends the laws of time and physics and forces his characters to spout some of the cheesiest dialogue imaginable.
  19. Were it not for the presence of higher-level acting talent, A Rumor of Angels would have been a banal TV movie.
