Suggestion: When making a film called Run Fat Boy Run, how about hiring a fat boy?

A slick, shallow and thoroughly generic caper flick.

This boring, torpid movie notices its own flaws and unwisely underlines them.

Filmed largely in black and white, The Cool School includes interviews with one of the gallery's founders, Ed Kienholz, as well as with Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and architect Frank Gehry.

Intelligent, well-acted movie.

Priceless provides lightweight, predictable entertainment that will make you yearn for the Tatou of yesteryear.

As phony as a re-enactment with finger pup pets.

Features a riveting performance by Michael Shannon as oldest son Son. He's definitely an actor to watch.

The last time I saw this much talent in a losing cause was Super Bowl XLII. Trying to mix farce with heart, Drillbit Taylor is instead as soulful as Kenny G and as wacky as public television.

Draggy and incoherent.

The script depends heavily on familiar stand-up comedy bits, but it's full of sharp wisecracks and slacker charm.

The demand for her services is so great that she suffers from "penis elbow," but her popularity also brings self-esteem and a possible boyfriend in her boss (Miki Manojlovic) in this lethargically directed comedy.

Frequently charming, beautifully drawn and far more faithful in spirit to the source material than those dreadful Ron Howard-Brian Grazer productions.

Flash Point comes loaded with cliches and immediately starts blasting them in every direction.

A formula flick that should have tapped out in the script stage.

Relentlessly depressing.

Sputnik Mania has a happy ending, thanks to German scientist Werner von Braun, who had been recruited for America after designing Nazi rockets that rained terror on England during World War II.

Claiming that from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq, the US government has misled the public - and the media - on the reasons for going to war.

The joke is on arthouse audiences who show up for Funny Games, which is basically torture porn every bit as manipulative and reprehensible as "Hostel," even if it's tricked out with intellectual pretension.

A stinging and frightening indictment of mainland China.

Heavy on slapstick and may appeal to very young viewers who won't need to bother much with the subtitles.

I was kind of rough on "Apocalypto," which in retrospect seems like a minor classic compared to 10,000 BC.

Jason Statham, possibly the greatest B-movie leading man of this era, stars in a complicated and clever imagining of what might have happened in the mysterious 1971 London bank heist dubbed the "Walkie-Talkie Robbery" - in other words, it was unbelievably high-tech.

Better than most Martin Lawrence movies - much as strep throat is better than malaria.

The doctors and nurses who care for America's wounded troops on the battlefield and in hospitals get their due in Fighting for Life.
