Confessions of a Shopaholic -- a "Devil Wears Prada" for Chico's customers.

Remarkably dull thriller.

Dumb and unwatchable.

The horror flick The Uninvited is not unclever - but it is unoriginal.

A Liam Neeson thriller so lacking in ambition they should have called it "Paycheck."

Excruciatingly unfunny.

Bursting with the usual colorful pop music numbers and lighter-than-a-soap-bubble quandaries, the film is a typical Bollywood entry, not likely to win over many new converts

Visually striking but gets bogged down in supernatural clichés.

Tells us just about everything we might want to know about her - except why she did what she did. That important information will have to wait for another film.

A good cast can't save The Lodger, the utterly wrongheaded fourth movie version of a 1910 novel inspired by Jack the Ripper.

A female revenge movie. But you could just as easily characterize it as fairly well-executed exploitation.

A flea market of fairy tales and hocus-pocus, Inkheart makes as much sense as an inkblot.

Fun but somewhat exhausting.

At more than two hours, Cherry Blossoms could do with some pruning. And do husband and wife have to have rhyming names?

Kids will be as enthralled by this film as you were by the live-action Disney movies of the '70s. It doesn't get any sweeter than a roomful of mattresses with kids and dogs jumping on them.

Much closer to Scorsese than "Scarface," Notorious gives a heartfelt yet clear-eyed sendoff to the late Brooklyn rapper Christopher Wallace.

It's fine for kids, though, and it doesn't try too hard.

Exceedingly lame.

As bland as the Kenny G-style smooth jazz its hero listens to in moments of distress.

I enjoyed the visual effects used to create some hellish creatures and the amusing nods to "The Exorcist" - cranial rotation, even a spooky staircase. But the movie slips in the last act.

An extremely awkward cross between "Ocean's Eleven" and "Rain Man."

A creative mix of horror, noir and psychological thriller. At times the story defies logic, but viewers who can accept that will find themselves caught up in the film's intensity.

As is his custom, Reygadas uses a mostly nonprofessional cast; and, as expected, he draws remarkably realistic performances.

This promising premise is turned into basically an overgrown TV movie.

The banality of evil has met its match in the banality of Good, a Holocaust parable that barely registers a pulse.

Winslet (Mendes' wife) once again demonstrates why she's one of the best actresses working today.

With its starkly contrasted visuals (fierce blacks, Clorox whites, a dash of unholy crimson), The Spirit may resemble a comic book more than any live-action film yet made, but it makes "Max Payne" look like a gleaming jewel of storytelling by comparison.

It takes a world-class storyteller and a great yarn to rivet your attention for nearly three hours. This very classy, old-school movie - employing cutting-edge technology that will make your eyes pop - did it for me.
