  1. Carrey's amazing transformation in Man on the Moon does justice to Kaufman's undefinable talents and his peculiar outlook on entertainment.
  2. Looks exquisite, but don't bother digging deeper.

    • 75 Critic Score
    A rare movie, one that manages to be both quiet and electrifying, touching and unnerving. But it is not a great movie, even though its stars deserve for it to be.
    • Miami Herald
  3. A joyous, amazingly detailed paean to imagination and personal expression that dares -- and succeeds -- to illustrate one of the most mysterious enigmas of all: the creative process.
  4. Chow Yun-Fat is the only reason to see Anna and the King -- the only thing you'll remember from this lavish, tastefully dull movie.

    Both a dazzling technological achievement and a really sweet movie.
  5. Feels static and constricted, its intensity dulled by overreliance on dialogue.
  6. Entertains but never quite engages.
    • Miami Herald
  7. Exhausting at times, frustrating in others, Magnolia is mostly just exhilarating, the product of a raw, vibrant talent finding his footing in an adult world -- and unafraid to make mistakes.
  8. Grim, tight and well acted.
  9. Feels like the shell of a wonderful story.

    An ensemble cast brimming with great theater actors and movie stars tears into a collection of meaty, moving, funny roles, with largely vibrant results.
    • Miami Herald
  10. See this movie for Douglas and Bacall, ignore the dialogue and just bask in their star chemistry, still strong after all these years.

  11. A very engrossing movie, the kind that gives shameless manipulation a good name.
    • Miami Herald
  12. He's (Sandler) trying to clone himself by supporting his buddies in making low-budget, high-grossing -- in all senses of the word -- formula films just like his own.

    • 46 Metascore

    Fiery but turgid adaptation of the 1890 August Strindberg play.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A scream-out-loud movie, upsetting and deliriously effective. Problem is, Koepp relies almost entirely on the isolated shocking images, ignoring the human element at the center.
    • Miami Herald
  13. Without a hint of sanctimony, it is a love story as much about soul as heart.
    • Miami Herald
  14. In a movie packed with broad humor, the best jokes are so small they're easy to overlook.

    • 70 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Penn's performance is easily the best ever seen in an Allen film.
  15. Lives up to its advance buzz as a showcase for some wonderful performances and a sharp storytelling eye by director Gavin O'Connor.
  16. May prove too dark to make the list of Schwarzenegger's biggest hits. But the movie suggests the actor still has a lot to offer -- and he's willing to take some chances, too. Welcome back, Arnold.
  17. It's impossible not to shake the feeling that we've been here before, and the movie never does convince you that a return trip was entirely necessary.
  18. At its best when it simply lets Hoffman and De Niro play off each other .
    • Miami Herald
  19. You can't beat a Bond film for adventure on a grand scale.
  20. Despite its flaws, Sleepy Hollow stays with you, the dark beauty of its images powerful enough to invade your dreams.
  21. The work of a talented filmmaker coasting on his own fumes.
    • Miami Herald
  22. The latest and loosest -- in the saucy sense of the word as well -- adaptation of (Austen's) sly comedies of uppercrust manners.
  23. This is a small, intimate movie bound to get lost in the holiday shuffle, but its pleasures are worth seeking out.
    • 86 Metascore

    A truly great and deceptively simple work, redefining the power of film.
