  1. If the plot of the Argentine soaper Puzzle seems familiar, that's because it's nearly identical to the story in the French movie "Queen To Play."
  2. As a comedy, the film isn’t especially funny, and as a screwball drug caper a la “Go,” it’s raggedly plotted, with ridiculous coincidences popping up everywhere.
  3. Whether you dig this aggressively campy horror-comedy is, to some extent, dependent on your squeamishness.
  4. Johnny English Reborn sounds like a reboot, but it's actually a tired recycling of something that wasn't exactly fresh to begin with.
  5. This is a by-the-numbers rehash that will leave anyone much over 5 enormously grateful that, if you duck out before the lengthy end credits, it lasts just over an hour.
  6. The best thing about Equilibrium is its impressive look. Along with its generally fine cast and some well-choreographed fights, that goes a long way to making the movie watchable -- despite its underlying stupidity.
  7. A glorified TV movie.
  8. Medina has taken a series of vignettes and fashioned them into a feature film as aimless as Luciano’s life. There’s no buildup or payoff; still, Hendler’s laid-back performance makes Medina’s film worth seeking out.
  9. Two possible ways of regarding Please Give: It's shallow. Or maybe it's deeply shallow.
  10. Trying to understand the story can make you feel like you’re sitting on a stool in a dunce cap.
  11. Movie adaptations shouldn’t require that you know their source material. But in the case of The Glass Castle, it’s impossible not to just say it: You’re better off reading the book.
  12. [JK Simmons] provides a little comic relief, and sums up my feelings on this whole outing: “Goddamn time-travelin’ robots!”
  13. A worthy addition to the cinematic canon, which, at last count, numbered 52 different versions.
  14. For a company that purports to be all about sparking creativity, asking a kid to follow Ikea-evocative directions to assemble an X-wing fighter seems at odds with the mission.
  15. Can't overcome the familiar, soapy script.
  16. Mostly, though, it’s the same old story: Bad mutants versus good mutants, with the fate of us humans — mostly off-screen, disturbingly expendable — hanging in the balance.
  17. Only mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids.
  18. Making mixed martial arts — described in the film as “the bloodiest and the goriest sport you’ve ever seen” — tame and lackluster is a challenge. But director Benny Safdie is up to the task.
  19. The film is well-constructed, as one would expect from Gondry, but it offers little reason for anyone outside the family circle to care about dear old Tante Suzette.
  20. The movie can be mildly amusing. But I couldn’t figure out which of the three principals I least wanted to know.
  21. Gabizon has a great idea. But he ruins it by devoting too much time to colorful but unnecessary characters.
  22. There are far, far worse ways to spend two hours than watching Jessica Alba in a skimpy bikini - as well as other natural wonders photographed in the Bahamas - in the airheaded underwater adventure Into the Blue.
  23. Overall, this sci-fi/martial arts hybrid has the stale aura of a product assembled out of bits of other action movies.
  24. With a formulaic plot and adequate supporting players, Smith phoning it in presents a major roadblock for a series as reliant on two leads’ chemistry as this one.
  25. Israeli director Nadav Lapid uses a well-worn concept — a lonely little boy is taken under a teacher’s wing — to create a slow, creepy movie.
  26. Everybody involved in 39 Pounds of Love probably had the best of intentions. But watching the filmmakers scurry about to record every last tear, I couldn't help but feel that this twisted little man was being exploited.
  27. These were people willing to take chances. Would that Trank had taken chances in telling their stories.
  28. A flawed black comedy about two buddies who open a butcher's shop in a small Danish town.
  29. The film is impeccably shot and paced, but the radical real-world implications of Wise’s agenda are never fully explored.
  30. You can see director Jon Watts and the filmmakers struggling to replicate the magic of their first film. But its charm came not from an overabundance of jokes, but from turning Spidey into a school hallway hero whose biggest challenge was girls. Jetting off to Venice, Prague and London and busting up landmarks brings it more in line with the rest of the overly dense Marvel Cinematic Universe.
