  1. Hey, it's not "Gone With the Wind" or even "Nightmare on Elm Street", so don't expect a masterpiece. You get a little nudity, a lot of gore, Seth Green doing his ironic commentary thing, and an easy way to kill a couple of hours.
  2. The stars have zero chemistry and the movie is none too thrilling.

    Mamet loves to cast his current wives in lead roles -- Whatever you may feel about Mamet's writing, he has an uncanny knack for marrying mediocre actresses.
  3. Dead-on for Cronenberg fans though the mutant reptile and amphibian factory might be a tad(pole) too much for the squeamish at heart.
  4. Marceau's effervescence and graceful stature fill the screen wonderfully, even if its a stretch to see her go lip-to-lip with Spade.

    Uneven, unfocused and boring. It is listed as a "black comedy" and while there are humorous moments you will not be laughing much.
  5. What begins as a poetically offbeat comedy, full of energy and verve, turns woefully mundane as the protagonists become introspective and enlightened.
  6. If you like Chan's Hong Kong films, you'll like this. Much of the "dramatic" work and dialogue are horrible but the stunt work here is actually superior to many of Chan's films.
  7. Unfortunately, the script is a light romantic comedy and unwilling to go the extra distance to really make it stick.
  8. The sexually charged undercurrent of Mertoland promises something dark, disturbing or at least provocative, but as the characters reach their defining moments, it's the plot that yields to the ordinary.
  9. It's a little frightening to watch Hawn be "bubbly" at her age.
  10. Of all the teen films released this year, this one is, by far, the best.
  11. I'll just say to anyone lamenting the state of American cinema since the 1970s, if you're curious where the next generation of auteurs is coming from, look in the art houses and look in The Matrix.

    It's the outstanding performance from Martin Landau that really seems to hold your interest, as well as hold the film together.
  12. Add another one to the scrap heap of trendy, nostalgic, 60's and 70's TV shows reduced to cinematic rubble by the inspiration starved minds in Hollywood.
  13. Heavy-handed melodrama that rises above its manipulative trappings on the solid performances of the cast.
  14. Trekkies doesn't quite take us to the final frontier, however, it is the best documentary on the subject and a good laugh.
  15. When all is said and done, then, the only thing this juvenile and shameless "Star Wars" knock-off does is whet your appetite for the real deal.
  16. This movie wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It's still not that good though.

    An entertaining, clever look at the backstabbing actors do in search of recognition and fame.
  17. I don't know if this movie could have been made with anyone but Chow Yun-Fat. As Chen, he finally is allowed to display the nervous energy and Eastern rhythms we associate with his Hong Kong work.
  18. Analyze This plays "The Godfather" bit, fast and funny, it just picked a framework it should have refused.
  19. In the end, the whole shebang comes off like a bunch of snotty, rich white kids screwing each other and screwing each other over.
  20. Lock is filled with great writing, great acting, colorful characters, and a tight story. I actually like this film more than "Pulp Fiction".
  21. Hilarious and a must-see.
  22. 8MM
    The biggest thing wrong with this mess is its whole attitude. The film tries to condemn all these shocking things, but if you're not shocked, just wait a couple of minutes and they'll try again.
