This very conventional PBS style videodoc should not be viewed before operating heavy machinery. However, there's plenty to fascinate devotees of the dance.

Doesn’t break any new ground – it actually steals from half a dozen other sci-fi movies – but it’ll make enough at the box office to justify further game flicks.

One of the coolest and most memorable films of 2005 – I just want to see it again.

Jessica Sanders has observed a collection of lives dramatically altered by a flawed legal system.

A remarkable triumph of documentary filmmaking. It is impossible to walk away from this film without being jolted.

A touching and almost ridiculously inspirational story for all of us.

Takes a personal, kinder-gentler Michael Moore/Nick Broomfield approach to exposing anti-Semitism.

It's clear right away that The Roost is no hack job. It's made by people who have a major love for the genre and generally anything that goes bump in the night.

When a film is more conducive to a scholarly dissection than a consumerist examination, the film is incredibly clever, pragmatic, or pretentious. In the case of Domino, it's all of the above.

The biggest problem with Elizabethtown isn't in its shopworn theme, but that it's perhaps the first of Crowe's movies (though "Jerry Maguire"comes very close) that really feels forced.

It's too mediocre (and PG-13) to be classified as a horror film, too inane to be taken seriously and too uninteresting to be bothered with.

An above average film, and features fine performances (Theron and McDormand are probably stone locks for more Oscar nominations), but be wary of the advertising pointing out the film's similarities to movies like "Erin Brockovich."

As impatient as I was with Loggerheads, I can't hate it. The sincerity of its performances is too real; its compassion for its characters is too strong. On the other hand, I haven't mentioned yet that the loggerhead is a species of turtle.

Garcia is a thoughtful filmmaker not only by the group of actors he has gathered, but in remembering that there has been and will be people watching his movie.

Summer Storm is director/co-writer Marco Kreuzpaintner's entry into the "I'm not gay but my boyfriend is" genre.

The Dark Hours is one of those rare gems out of Canada.

Clooney has littered his film with such a high quantity of mistakes that it is hard to know where exactly to begin finding fault.

For you guys out there stuck with a lady-friend looking for that "Beaches" replacement, here it is.

Has its rollicking moments and snappy lines but even Pacino can't elevate them into more than a fleetingly juicy treat. This is a movie that desperately wishes it had been written by David Mamet.

Waiting… is only intermittently funny, but when it is, it's hilarious.

What might just be this film's greatest strength is how it shows that no matter how "different" we might appear to be on the outside, what's on the inside is what provides our common bonds.

The two young leads--Vincent Kartheiser and Taryn Manning--bring a sense of reality to their roles. This combines with Milgard’s direction and choice of backdrops to make Dandelion an unassuming journey.

I'm a sucker for so-called "mockumentaries." They're charming, usually outlandish, and you never have to worry if anyone is getting exploited. NBT is no exception.

Baumbach crams an impressive amount of characterization and humor into 82 minutes.

Maybe if PETA tried being funny instead of comparing eating meat to the Holocaust, they’d have a bigger following.

At last, the hopeless romantics and the gorehounds can feast at the same table.

This is a film that exists because of fans, was written for the fans and yet can be enjoyed by just about anyone willing to have a good time.

One of the most beautifully stark, yet provocative and powerful films of 2005 has to be Capote. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who gives his finest screen performance to date, literally becomes Truman Capote through effete mannerism, nasaly voice & self-absorbed tone.
