The film has a wonderful style and a sense of movement that barely slows down for its two and a half hours.

The kind of movie where you shout advice at the characters on screen, because we have so much more information than they do.

It’s a true endurance test, far too grim to be considered exciting, but not really informative enough to enlighten us about the effect of our presence in Somalia in 1993.

The radiant Blanchett makes Charlotte's individual journey from lovelorn lady to independent woman believable and involving, and that's ultimately what counts the most -- even if the destination is less than ideal.

Is this what Sean Penn has come to in his 40s? He hasn't appeared this retarded since he was married to Madonna.

It's hardly a foreign film; this is our common history, and it's a film well worth looking out for.

Berry delivers an extraordinary performance that will startle even her most faithful fans.

We have an authentic Old Master working in our midst, and Gosford Park will at the very least remind everyone how masterful a helmsman Altman can be.

Well-acted and skillfully made, the film offers enough that is worth seeing, but its idiosyncratic nature is sure to limit its mainstream appeal.

A passive film, playing it quiet and safe, hoping that the viewer will extend some good will towards it.

There's no question that Meg Ryan is the queen of romantic comedies. Yet for every piece of frothy fluff that works -- there comes a couple where you just want to say, "Enough already." Kate & Leopold is one such movie.

The film is short on plot, and any form of character development, but I am sure the target audience of children will find plenty to enjoy even though most adults may find it a bit boring. All in all, Jimmy Neutron is a nice holiday diversion for the family.

While How High could have been a fun comedy college students could watch over and over again, it instead plays like a bad USA movie of the week. The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't fully developed and poor editing only makes a humorless story confusing.

August so firmly establishes characters of Martin and Barbara and their relationship, so when the disease does enter the picture, the film does not suddenly become about that; the focus clearly remains on the effect it takes on the people.

Aside from all the known material on public record the filmmakers chose not to use, Howard isn't even capable of believably bringing this off.

For those who appreciate movies that capture almost every emotion -- from laughter to tears, suspense to tranquillity -- The Majestic was made for you.

An entertaining diversion and if you want a light film to just sit back and relax to, then this might just be your movie.

The film does drag, particularly toward the end as the conclusion becomes increasingly obvious and too slow to arrive. For the most part, though, getting there is a wild and fascinating ride.

Probably the best comment I could give it is that after sitting through the first two and 1/2 hours, I would have happily sat through another five. How long am I going to have to wait for that DVD Box Set?

Bratt's fast-talking, all-attitude interpretation is showboating without soul -- which can be said of the entire movie.

A glacially-paced disease-of-the-week movie blown up to big screen size.

Love is indeed the greatest mystery, as Lantana's tagline goes, and while the film is ultimately still and interesting and fairly involving one, it's a bit unfortunate that the filmmakers weren't content to simply explore that quandary instead of manufacturing another.

A very funny and painfully relevant two hours of entertainment.

The result is stunning -- both as a narrative film and as a document of the place and time.

It is obvious that the creative forces did not take the film to seriously and if you do not, you just might find yourself laughing along.

My suggestion is to avoid this film and instead rent Open Your Eyes (Abre Los Ojos) the film upon which Vanilla Sky was based.

A film with a bare-bones story told with such potency that its occasional flights of heavy-handed symbolism are easily excused.

The film's acting is superb. Best known as a gritty wiseass, Denis Leary creates a fine dramatic performance.
