  1. Sean Penn's scenes are still so stunning...His Jeff Spicoli is an unabashed kick every second he is on the screen.
  2. Frida favors us with plenty of color, a feast of eye candy. As food for the soul, however...there are always her paintings.
  3. Particularly wrenching in its depiction of the father-son relationship.
  4. The true power of the film comes from young Marko Kovacevic, who plays the poetic child lost in a family and culture where poetry has no meaning.
  5. The video footage is demented, hysterically funny, and supremely dark. In presenting Carson’s antics and dissecting his style as a presenter, A Life on the Farm provides a horror-tinged giggle fest.
  6. This film poignantly captures the hurt feelings of the women subjected to this man’s perversion. It is a sobering experience. Seek it out if you’re intrigued.
  7. The sequel is a shout-out to horror movies of the past.
  8. With A+ voice talent provided by Meg Ryan (Anastasia) and John Cusack (Dimitri), Fox has a winner on its hands.
  9. A tedious, snail-paced mess.

    Captures the building of the freeway as well as the lives of the people working on it. The problem is, the lives of the people aren't all that interesting and the freeway being built isn't either.
  10. Charles Dance's début feature is an impressive achievement.
  11. Let’s not lose sight of what's really been accomplished here. Alex and Marty – just like Batman and Robin, Fred and Barney, and Snagglepuss – are welcome additions to the gay animation pantheon.
  12. Sisto certainly has an eye for the story he’s trying to tell, and there are moments throughout John and the Hole, which show he has what it takes to be an interesting filmmaker. [But his] visual flair would have been better served with a stronger story.
  13. The White Crow demonstrates that, if perhaps not having yet mastered all of the nuances of directing an artful biopic, Fiennes possesses a keen eye for detail – and the man just can’t help but exude sophistication.
  14. Vice, written and directed by Adam McKay, plays straight to the cable-news generation of political enthusiasts. It’s depthless, has the attention span of a gopher, and is more concerned with appearances than getting to the root of anything.
  15. This is John Hughes' best teen film, and it's a call to arms to everyone in the world who doesn't want to follow society's lame-ass rules at the expense of living a cool life.

    As They Made Us shines because of its cast.
  16. What ultimately keeps The Weather Man from being a better film than it is that it doesn't no when to quit.
  17. While Dead for a Dollar may not make one toss out their copy of The Searchers, it’s still a refreshing change of pace seeing three excellent actors in an uncommon genre. When it comes to its originality, though, we’re left watching the tumbleweeds float on by.

    Liesl Tommy extracts the proper emotion from every scene, and the music is like truffles on top of a fantastic meal.
  18. I'm sure that an interesting film could easily be made about girl surfers, this just ain't it.
  19. There's a natural authenticity to the film that makes it intensely watchable, even though it's repetitive and slightly underwritten.

    In short, this is an x-treme documentary, as riveting as a road accident and a lot more bloody. That this film might give other young people ideas is something that keeps me (and probably director Hough) awake at night.
  20. Rife with predictability and lacking any originality whatsoever, the lackluster Laurel Canyon demonstrates about as much depth as one of Ian's pop songs.

    He's preaching a story we must all hear. This is no fairy tale.
  21. Speer Goes to Hollywood is essential viewing for those who want a deeper understanding of the horrors Nazis committed and the still lingering aftermath.
  22. With A Taste of Hunger, it is clear that Boe loves food. The film celebrates the culinary arts, as the cinematography lovingly displays exquisite dishes that please the eye as much as the taste buds. He studies how light and sound may affect taste. His approach to gastronomy is as meticulous as the dishes his protagonist prepares.

    One of the most interesting and two-sided films to be made about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    You expect excellence from Pixar, and excellence is what they deliver in Onward.
  23. There is genuinely fantastic chemistry between the new lovers.
