A film about a family billed as "bizarrely dysfunctional" – is a pleasant enough experience. However, it probably could have used a little more of the bizarre or dysfunctional to spice things up.

It is not only the year's best documentary, but it is also among the finest films ever made about religion.

The Wicker Man isn't all that bad a movie; it's visually striking and ambitious in some ways. It just fails to bring enough to the table to fully distance itself from the original.

Authentic and hilarious. This film sparks with a natural comic rhythm.

Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou has created so many memorable films (most recently the wuxia double-play "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers") that one can easily excuse his new clinker Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles.

It's vital that everyone who cares about film see this documentary.

It elicits so many laughs, in fact, that you have to wonder just what Judge did to piss off the suits at Fox so much that they would willingly torpedo one of the only genuinely hilarious movies to come out this year.

Granted, you'e going to enjoy it a lot more if you spent a healthy chunk of your late teens/early 20s playing Bullshit and doing keg stands, but it's far from the worst comedy of the year.

The direction is lackluster, the child actors – with the exception of Eisenberg – are pretty dismal, and the whole thing is about 15 minutes too long.

A touching, stirring story even if it has been given the Hollywood treatment.

The Quiet is best for cheap laughs by jaded moviegoers with absolutely nothing better to do with their time.

For non-actors, everyone in this film really pulls their character off extremely well.

Princesas isn't the cliché "Pretty Woman" type romantic-comedy you'd expect – it's actually quite surprising.

All hyperbole aside, “When the Levees Broke” is one of the most important film documents ever made. It’s an honest, fair and unflinching look at one of the greatest, and saddest, natural disasters to hit our shores.

1. It has the potential to supplant "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as the greatest audience participation movie of all time. 2. It is, simultaneously, one of the worst and best movies I’ve ever seen.

How much you join in will depend on how big a fan you are of the collegiate comedy formula, how many times you've seen "Animal House" and "Caddyshack," and how much you hate Long in those smarmy Mac commercials.

While it might have made a good short, as a feature film The Illusionist comes across like a magician whose tricks are transparent.

Bukowski had a bunch of none too kind things to say about “Barfly" upon its release in the 80s, but, with Factotum, he'd do plenty of bitching and moaning as well, but deep down, Hank would approve.

Laughter erupts during scenes and certain close-ups that were designed to induce screams.

Step Up doesn't want to be new, original, innovative, or fresh, and it makes a point of practicing that guideline at every chance.

"X-Men" sans the intellect and atmosphere.

Fleck manages to mix the storylines which include drug abuse, political commentary and making good choices about your life's path flawlessly.

Full of looming symbolism, House of Sand is a brilliant tale following a family that brings a group of settlers into the middle of the desert to start a new life.

In the end, Who Needs Sleep is a great sleeping aid, but a horribly dull and uninspiring documentary.

Almost unforgivably sentimental.

All in all, this is an accessible art house horror film whose trailer and premise do not do justice to the end result.

Barnyard isn't a complete waste of time, it's just too familiar.

By the time the credits rolled I was bored rather than stunned by the revelations within the movie and I just want these type of reversal/twist movies to get better, or go away.
