The film is filled with extraordinary characters and equally extraordinary circumstances that Hollywood could craft no better in any feature script.

A warm and curiously engaging film despite many flaws and the sloppiness of its construction.

Like a moving cubist painting, Where is Where? is created to confuse, and yet inspire. With the combination of silent stock footage, and sparse theatrical settings the film may seem very long to some, even if it is only an hour. Making it to the end, however, is very rewarding if you are willing to put in the effort.

Sadly, everything is predictable, which is to the detriment of the mostly fine, young talent that appears in this ineffective retread.

A hard luck, true life fairy tale story told with poignant humility, embellished with solid acting and determined direction.

Neither hater nor admirer, I still get wrapped up in his (Owen) mannerisms and emerald stare.

This is a brutal, exhausting, and genuinely horrifying little ghost flick.

He's preaching a story we must all hear. This is no fairy tale.

Wise and respectful of its audience, "Cloudy" thus never stops the fun.

It’s not a perfect film, but it’s definitely the Soder-side I prefer.

The difference between “Juno” and Jennifer’s Body, I realized, was that Diablo Cody's disgustingly smug dialogue -- supposedly so winning when spoken by Juno -- is much easier to swallow when it comes from characters who actually are disgustingly smug -- like Jennifer.

In The Burning Plain, another directorial debut, sensationalism is on order, but it's buttressed by fear, suffering, and desire – the schizo-blend that makes Arriaga's scripts so unique.

Once you get into the groove of Harmony and Me and realize the film is not only very tightly scripted, hilarious, and quite brilliantly acted, you’ll quickly be won over.

Masterpieces of literature-to-film are a rare breed; this film falls short with satisfaction.

To sum up Beavan’s message, he’s not saying you should give up toilet paper. But you should give up what you can. Help any way you can. Do all you can.

The nine characters aren’t machines, exactly, but they aren’t people or animals either. They’re little cloth pouches that can move, communicate, and make facial expressions that range from ornery to cute. At some point during the movie I began mentally referring to them as the Owlish Beanbags.

Easily the most disappointing movie of the summer, Extract is more significantly the biggest letdown of its esteemed creator’s career.

While elements of the film may be a little cliché, I found it highly relatable. It would be dishonest to say I didn’t enjoy myself.

Comes across as a little uneven, but far from unsatisfactory. Patton Oswalt is sympathetic (at times heart breaking) and makes the film completely worth watching.

A wonderful film, and one with vast appeal. Giving us everything we have come to expect from our fashion-centered programming and more, we are left with the sense that we have uncovered a mystery.

It’s a fascinating look at a really weird guy who, whether you know it or not, made a profound impact on all of our lives (because who doesn’t spend hours a day on YouTube?).

The biggest, weirdest, ugliest cartoon in Inglourious Basterds is Aldo Raine, the Nazi-killing American Lieutenant played by Brad Pitt.

A very funny comedy. It’s a very funny comedy that almost made me cry.

As promising as the premise sounds, it cannot rise from the mundane.

The humanity of District 9 adds another dimension to this multilayered, rewarding work -- one of the best of the summer, and undoubtedly the most inventive from the multiplex this year.

Imagination spills across the screen in a bold, undeniable presence.

The movie doesn’t even try to break new ground–it’s shot entirely on location in familiar Ferrell-McKay territory.

White and The Edge appear guarded, and perhaps a bit intimidated, by Page’s Yoda-like status.
