  1. The clichéd and predictable Suspect Zero is the latest evidence that Hollywood has run the serial-killer thriller into the ground through overuse - the same way it earlier exhausted, say, buddy action-comedies.
  2. One of the better political documentaries flooding into theaters after "Fahrenheit 9/11" and before the election.
  3. Little more than an infomercial for the candidate.
  4. Stars Carmine Famiglietti, Joseph Summa and Gino Cafarelli apparently also wrote Chooch and directed it under a trio of aliases. They shoulda applied to the witness-protection program instead.
  5. In a season of hyperven tilating political docu mentaries - witness Michael Moore and his imitators - Ross McElwee shows just how far subtlety can go with his latest charming effort, Bright Leaves.
  6. A likable trio of actors struggles valiantly but ultimately fails to keep this dopey buddy comedy afloat.
  7. Disco may still be dead, but Benji: Off the Leash! resurrects another dubious artifact of the '70s - the crudely made family films starring that lovable mutt.
  8. The acting is serviceable at best, the direction unfocused - and the special effects and makeup cheesy-looking. This is surely the most dreary-looking film ever shot by the great Vittorio Storaro ("Apocalypse Now").
  9. Presumably, Deville wants to show life returning to normal after WWII, but in the context of this inert movie, "normal" equals "tedious."
  10. Ultimately, though, the lively whirl of debauched, drug-fueled parties and toffee-nosed exchanges between heiresses and aristocrats fails to mask the essential hollowness of the narrative.
  11. A true fan's nirvana.
  12. Greenwald does nothing with the interviews, basically just posting them, one after the other, with the hope that viewers will do his job for him. The result is one-sided and bone-dry.
  13. Mawkish and manipulative, the film isn't worthy of its widely praised German director.
  14. Many indie films about adolescents these days - like Gus Van Sant's "Elephants" - are willfully amoral. Mean Creek isn't - and it's the first indie since "Thirteen" that parents should make required viewing for teens.
  15. Overlong and heavy-handed.
  16. Somewhat leisurely paced, by American standards, especially in the beginning, but it's well worth sticking around for the payoff.
  17. Lightweight but enjoyable entertainment.
  18. It’s often hard to figure out who’s winning, much less care about it. One thing is certain: Nobody is going to be demanding a rematch.
  19. Exploitative rubbish.
  20. At heart a rather chilly and clinical portrait of four very selfish people.
  21. Has just enough fairy dust to charm its target audience.
  22. Stylish - if predictable - thriller.
  23. The jaw-droppingly nasty second act is intriguing, but it veers into territory so dark that it sucks the air out of the bouncy chick flick that surrounds it, making for one confused -- and confusing -- comedy.
  24. There's extreme brutality, gore and violence, scads of severed body parts and oceans of squirting blood, as the brave -- and buffed -- people of Bang Rajan fight to the death.
  25. An intriguing, if seriously flawed, film noir.
  26. Enthralling performances are given by Tadanobu Asano (Miike's "Ichi the Killer") as Kenji and first-timer Sinitta Boonyasak as the pot-smoking Noi.
  27. While immersed in the horror of their plight, you might forget to breathe.
  28. Mostly a second-rate action picture that's content to use apartheid as a colorful background.
  29. This furious finger-pointer's doc is so one-sided, it undermines its own integrity.
  30. A melodramatic import from Algeria, is so relevant in this age of global terrorism, it's a shame it isn't much better.
