    While it is a glossy crowd pleaser, it still has a few typically off the wall, classic Miike touches.
  1. A sweetly engaging effort that manages a fair amount of charm and innocence in spite of the rather seedy surroundings.
  2. While it's too smart to be shelved on the porn rack, "YPF" (a neutered acronym for Young People F**king, its original title) shoots Judd Apatow-styled raunch into previously uncharted stratospheres of frank sexual humor.

    A clichéd and painfully formulaic little film.
    • 41 Metascore

    The film is creepy, I'll give it that, but it also has that smalltown, dramatic bend.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The movie is quiet and minimal in its dialogue, and it has flashes of humor and thoughtfulness. However, it's also unbearably slow and hard to empathize with Mikey when we don't really know what his problem is.
    • 53 Metascore

    Not terribly original or funny.
  3. 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.

    Let's not kid ourselves: There's something about Javi.

    If you can wait until near the end, you're in for some fun. But after an hour-plus, it's a pretty long wait.
  4. To top everything off, Tom Cruise may just have resurrected his career with the role of Les Grossman.
  5. Elegy's last act is a mournful smorgasbord of bathos in which major and supporting characters alike drop like flies. The body count is practically Shakespearean. The same, regrettably, can't be said for Coixet's touch when it comes to tragedy.

    Beautiful Losers challenges and appreciates, is worthy and worthless; a piece of art in itself.

    The motorcycle film genre is one that has all but been forgotten, but if any film could start the resurrection of this cinema genre's corpse, it's Larry Bishop's Hell Ride.
  6. These actors and many more make What We Do Is Secret an absolute blast to watch and they do an undeniably perfect job of recreating this notorious scene.

    The trouble is that the contrivances are so…CONTRIVED.
  7. Let's be honest; a great deal of the sh-- you find funny when you're high really isn't (as anyone who's smoked a few bowls and laughed like a hyena to "Assy McGee" can attest). So hopefully nobody will be too disappointed when I tell them that "Express" is largely hit and miss.
  8. I found myself in a tug-of-war between enjoying Bottle Shock as entertaining fluff, and thinking that there might be a more serious, gritty, complicated story lurking behind the grab-ass soap opera.
  9. For Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget, their sisterhood shines even brighter the second time around.
    • 31 Metascore

    It's a damn shame when the dreaded third leg in the franchise feels like a pale imitation of an already pale imitator.
  10. The film also doesn't try to wrap things up nice and neat. That's not how life is and that's not how this film goes. But for those who can handle the truth, they should be prepared for a very moving experience. And Freddy Krueger references.

    It's tough and cold and gives an inside look at poverty in America. Yet the film is also incredibly compelling and intense and I can't think of another film that's this small and powerful.

    Please Chris Carter, bring us X-Files fans back to where we belong. If there is to be another movie, and there damn well better be, return us to our beloved mythology.

    Simply, the movie is a tale of extremes resulting in a tepid middleground.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Never has a film captured the spirit of being a teenager better.
    • 89 Metascore

    Pre the events of 9/11, the film might have simply been an entertaining, high risk tale of a death-defying feat related in both interviews, archival footage and photos and Marsh's usual meticulous and creative re-enactment vignettes. Post 9/11 you find yourself marveling that a man in far away France became smitten with the twin towers long before they became the target of terrorist attacks.
  11. Smartly edited, utterly engrossing, and as intelligent an examination of American race relations as I've seen.
  12. One of the most gripping, thought provoking dramas ever to ponder crime and punishment.

    John C. McGinley carries the majority of the film's emotional weight, as he's the guy with the most to lose (and seemingly the most Hell-bent on losing), and his performance is easily one of the best of his career.
  13. The Dark Knight may not be a masterpiece, but it easily vaults to the top of any list of "best superhero movies."
