  1. Nor does the movie try to use the game to make some larger point. Here's one: Even at its best and luckiest hour, Harvard can aspire only to equal Yale.
  2. Paper Heart is like a really special five-minute YouTube clip that goes on for an hour and a half.
  3. My Way is not, as the title might suggest, a Frank Sinatra biopic. No, it's an eye-popping, empty-headed World War II epic made in South Korea.
  4. Fairly sexy and stylish. Alas, it's also quite silly and not especially scary.
  5. The Sketches of Frank Gehry will appear this fall on PBS' "American Masters," which seems a more appropriate venue than theaters.
  6. Has a few things going for it -- a winning performance by Luchini and a small role by Pedro Almodóvar favorite Carmen Maura. But these talented folks can't compensate for a plot that strains credulity and lacks badly needed social bite. Wait for the DVD.
  7. Priceless provides lightweight, predictable entertainment that will make you yearn for the Tatou of yesteryear.
  8. You rarely see movies as dramatically uneven as The Weekend, which has a dreadful, one-star first half - followed by an interesting, three-star conclusion.

  9. Dysfunctional families don't come much more messed up than the one in Agnes and His Brothers, a comic drama from Germany.

    Writer-director Steven Knight mixes a tried-and-true James M. Cain formula with a clever digital gimmick worthy of Christopher Nolan, but some of his dialogue is overripe to the point of rot.
  10. Mind-blowing and headache-inducing. But the kids loved it.

  11. Heavy on celebrity voices, pop culture references and rock tunes and low on memorable characters or imagination, Chicken Little is on a par with such mediocre but popular CGI films as "Madagascar" and "Shark Tale."
  12. Young Hugo (Asa Butterfield), a boy who literally lives inside the clocks he manages in a grand Paris train station in the 1930s, embodies one problem that bedeviled even Dickens: He's boringly nice.
  13. Generic variation on the overworked serial-killer genre.

  14. Hanna doesn't go wrong immediately. It takes at least 2½ minutes.
  15. Has some truly touching and funny moments. But it goes on for too long and bogs down in a surfeit of characters and unnecessary subplots.
  16. Watchable even when what's going on makes no sense whatsoever.

  17. There are some decent jokes along the way. And none of the performances is bad. But they are limited by the script, which allows each character only one comic note.
  18. If Broadway shows had DVD featurettes, the unexceptional documentary Broadway Idiot would be perfect for one.
  19. Basilone’s movie becomes an intriguing puzzle that frequently bugs you, but you’re nonetheless determined to make it to the end.
  20. A Skinemax movie cloaked in art-house fancy dress, the sex thriller Chloe might have worked better as an out-and-out popcorn flick starring, say, Jennifer Lopez.
  21. Generic memoir of lower-middle-class "white ethnic" life in the '50s.
  22. I’m a sucker for films with great surfing footage, let alone wacky ’70s hairstyles. But this overlong, cliché-infested Aussie period drama tested my patience.
  23. It's almost worth the price of admission to see Allen paying homage to "Singin' in the Rain" in the final sequence. Almost.
  24. One of the big problems here is that, despite much exposition, the nature of Klaatu's mission on Earth isn't at all clear.
  25. Your Highness refuses to take itself seriously, which is both boring and sort of charming to a limited extent.
  26. Boasts some genuinely intelligent and funny sequences and some nicely painful scenes of domestic tension - as well as surprisingly strong performances from actors like Neve Campbell and Donald Sutherland.

  27. As the movie drags on, though, it takes on a throbbing, sick monotone. This isn't a concert, it's a bass guitar solo, all thumping blackness.
  28. Will Marcela (wonderful Ana Geislerova) opt for brains or brawn? The answer might surprise you.
  29. This modest little film out of Africa suffers from largely rudderless direction, relying for any sense of profundity on the breathtaking beauty of Abraham Haile Biru's cinematography.
