Spins in its own orbit and dares the audience to come into its weirdly one-of-a-kind environment. This is a delightful work of humor which is worthy of Spielberg-level praise.

Despite its few flaws, Joy Ride does take viewers on one hell of a ride. It's one of those rare films that manages to take an overused plot and breathe some sort of creativity into it.

Bit of melodramatic grandstanding that it is -- is made irrelevant by Washington's volcanic energy and fierce conviction.

Serendipity leaves one with a pleasant feeling few films generate: that of wanting more.

Smoothly seductive.

Wow. A heist movie that is more focused on people than it is crime. An incredible cast - Robert Forster and Donnie Wahlberg. Getting to see Kristin Minter's breasts and hearing her say, "F---." Damn near a perfect movie.

The oh-so-convenient convergence of plot threads at the climax make the film feel that much more run-of-the-mill.

Stiller is laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish and anyone that may quibble about plot minutiae, is just not ready to have a good time.

The reason I hate this movie so much (besides the fact that it sucked) is that there was so much behind it and it still was a bland.

This is a curious example of taking a hair-raising story and draining the drama from every corner, leaving it a bit flat and ultimately forgettable.

Just when you think it could not get more ridiculous, Hall, Lanier, and Miss Mariah go that extra mile.

Sports fans will go nuts over it, as will anyone who appreciates the fine cinematic storytelling on display in the film.

A musical feast for eyes and ears alike.

This musical epic is unlike anything I (or anyone I know) have ever laid eyes on.

One of the most shocking Japanese horror films ever. It needs to be seen to be believed, but those with queasy stomachs would do well to stay away.

About as exciting as meatloaf.

This cult chestnut is more intelligent, scary, humorous and effective than hyped recent genre efforts by Coppola, Jordan and Carpenter.

Onscreen, A Huey P. Newton Story is memorable, but it must have been something to see on stage. Roger Guenver Smith gives a striking, extremely physical, performance.

All squeamishness aside, this just isn’t a very pleasant film in general. There’s not a single sympathetic character in the bunch, except for maybe Hyun-nam and she’s a lazy bore. Everyone else is just plain, well, mean. For all the brilliance in some of its action scenes, this sluggish flick feels like a stretched out graduate thesis film.

What ultimately comes through is an undeniably imaginative work that is a glorious testament to the limitless and largely untapped possibilities of cinema.

With a couple of plot twists and a few powerful performances, Deuces Wild is worth checking out -- but only on home video.

This is a story about purgatory, though it goes by the name Camp Pendleton.

Beautiful moments of performance such as Forster's subtly spellbinding monologues -- make for compelling cinema.

Classic B-movie mayhem meets French New Wave.

A diverting and delightful visit with two unheralded indie cinema veterans with a surplus amount of anecdotes and zany film clips.

While the film missteps in a few small places, it's charm, wit, and heart make Kissing Jessica Stein one of the few "must see" films of the year; quite an accomplishment for novice filmmakers.

The director’s new masterpiece is a summation of nearly everything he has learned as a filmmaker, and about black culture, but he doesn’t feel the need to beat the audience over the head for each lesson he’s trying to impart.

Strong performances and moody cinematography make this film worth staying awake for, despite many pensive, hypnotically paced sequences.
