  1. It's Lathan -- with her passionate performance, physical grace and drop-dead-gorgeous looks -- who makes Love and Basketball so entertaining.
  2. A gorgeous dreamscape of a movie...one of the most exhilarating experiences of pure cinema that will be offered this year.
  3. In the House is crafty and juicy and ought to delight anyone whose ever thumped their chest about being a storyteller. I must confess, however, that somewhere in the third act the air started to leak from the balloon.
  4. Strangely enough, this movie provides a lot of the James Bond veneer that has been missing from recent James Bond movies.
  5. Its series of quiet but moving realizations of the utter ubiquity of the Nazi horror in every single aspect of life, even something as hidden as a sexual sub-culture, is powerful indeed.
  6. The kid performances are impressive and the subtext of a region still shaking off the effects of a long-ended war gives seed to some much needed discussion.
  7. Pussy Riot: A Punk’s Prayer is about an interesting topic, but the film itself is not quite up to snuff.
  8. Not as touching or boldly transgressive as its ultra-violent peers.
  9. By no means any kind of masterpiece, but viewed as one might any number of American or European independents of similar theme and nature, it not only stands its ground, but is at times one or two notches better than many of them.
  10. Egoyan and Hoskins fans will definitely want to see this film. Others will feel their fingernails grow as they watch it.
  11. A fascinating portrayal.
  12. Certainly one of his (Scorsese's) most profound works.
  13. Strong, stirring, triumphant and tragic, The Imitation Game may be about a man who changed the world, but it’s also about the world that destroyed a man.
  14. Its honesty and insights are refreshing.

  15. This is a beautiful, surprisingly uplifting movie, made by someone who actually understands people.
  16. A highly recommended treat.
  17. Good luck finding a modern martial-arts epic that can even hold a candle to it.
  18. The script also happens to be quite literate and laceratingly funny, and Damon -- no big surprise here -- turns out to be the perfect actor to deliver Will's zingers.

  19. A mix of forward-looking sci-fi, classic themes, deft plotting and superb writing and direction, Edge of Tomorrow may be the pure-pleasure blockbuster to beat this Summer.
  20. A very small film, as they say in the movie business, but its stylish suspensefulness is nicely leavened by Connell's obvious, and welcome, love for his hapless characters.
  21. 22 Jump Street is a success, as there is a little good ol’ fashioned “heart” beneath its post-modern veneer.
  22. Among the stronger American horror films of the year.
  23. Sometimes feels like an acting class gone berserk, with Penn indulging his high-powered cast
  24. This is a pretty leaden cinematic experience.

    Like the political turmoil which inspired it, Shadow Dancer is fueled by the fire to do the right thing and the sacrifice that must follow, and for 100 minutes, it’s a crackerjack ordeal to behold.
  25. Although Mansfield Park is an enjoyable film, you can't help but wish that it were as brave, feisty and unconventional as it keeps telling us its heroine is.
  26. Eventually falls into the same candy-coated trap it's trying to expose. But the fact that a movie can acknowledge the trap exists is a step in the right direction.

  27. Love it or hate it -- and I suspect, frankly, most people are going to hate it -- this is like no other film you've ever seen.
  28. Gorgeous and troubling.
  29. If only this movie were rich enough, strong enough to be worthy of this (Dafoe's) performance.
