    Of course, the music is the thing and the sounds here earn Demme's reverence.
  1. For the Love of Spock is ultimately as much of a love letter to other Trek fans as much as one to his own.
  2. Hard to watch but important to see.
  3. There's nothing here for commercial reality-TV shows, just history caught on the run, offering a raw and timeless reminder of the day we had our eyes opened to the power of blind hatred.
  4. A neat little almost-thriller, this witty French diversion manages to mess with your head with little apparent effort.

  5. Seth, who played Nehru in the Oscar-winning "Gandhi," gives a subtly layered performance as a complex, tormented and very decent man in crisis.
  6. Intimate, deeply affecting family drama.
  7. I'm no psychologist, but it took about half this film's overlong running time to figure out that Metallica's problem is that Ulrich is a major pain in the butt.
  8. The first film in a while to have a decent heart while quickening your pulse.
  9. Joe
    Joe and director David Gordon Green find a middle ground between the old, vulnerable Cage and the one that seemed to eat that other guy. Good to have him back.
  10. Important and gripping.
  11. Pamela Yates' unblinking chronicle of recent Peruvian history paints a devastating picture of a people nearly destroyed by their own leaders.
  12. Thor: Ragnarok, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is so delightfully funny that it’s almost a shame when the film reverts to its campy, melodramatic roots. Thankfully, that’s not hammered too hard.
  13. The dissection and discussion, though well-intentioned, winds up lifeless.
  14. By deftly blending silliness and sophistication, this little movie does its part to stem the technological tide.
  15. Riveting update of George Bizet's "Carmen."
  16. Ray and his writers found plenty of material to fill Cooper's capable hands. They've turned what must have been a tedious investigation into a sharp cat-and-mouse game between Hanssen and Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe).
  17. Some of this is elemental psychology; blood is thicker than water, etc. But the movie also reveals how the privileged class ignored, condoned or denied the reality of the Holocaust.
  18. Poignant, eccentric comedy.
  19. The movie drags in some places and throbs in others, but it looks and feels like a bigger production than it actually is. The largely unknown cast is especially strong - this may be your first chance to discover them, but it won't be the last time you see them.
  20. [Boyle] shrugs off any intellectual pretense to rollick in a dead-on scare fest. On that level, 28 Days Later is indeed a frightfully good time.
  21. Japanese Story could have been a two-character play staged in front of a desert mural. It wouldn't have been as pretty, but it's that tight.

    The film provides a rare glimpse into the other side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and serves as a chilling reminder that the hostilities aren't about to end anytime soon.
  22. The movie's intense focus skillfully exposes the raw pain just under the skin of a seemingly ordinary citizen.
  23. Penn is projecting heroic qualities onto a young guy who simply got in over his head.
  24. Scanner is mostly all talk, and the talk is entertaining only when it's coming from Downey. The actor's long history of drug abuse taught him a thing or two about cooked behavior, and he gives some anxious run-on monologues that are very funny.

    Disturbing and flavorful, with a real sense of S.I. atmosphere.
  25. Overlong but ambitious, Woo proves he's as good at tactical maneuvers as he is at close-quarters combat.
  26. Every time things start to get dull, you're brought up short by another moment of surprising beauty.
  27. Stamp, whose ability to make Wilson simultaneously coarse and charismatic is irresistibly entertaining.
