For the most part, it's both sitcomishly predictable and cloying in its attempts to be poignant.

Splendidly spectacular, intelligent and very well-acted.

In execution, this clever idea is far less funny than the original, "Killers From Space," which was directed by W. Lee Wilder, the vastly less talented brother of the great Billy.

Against all odds, director Steven Shainberg has managed to craft an oddly compassionate -- and often very funny -- tale of an emotionally symbiotic affair.

It's depressing to see how far Herzog has fallen.

Amply demonstrates how even a movie with wall-to-wall action can be a crashing bore.

The result is inept, tedious kitsch that even at its best feels like John Waters minus the joie de vivre.

A Japanese cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz" -- is such a landmark in animation that labeling it a masterpiece almost seems inadequate.

Enough to give you brain strain -- and the pay-off is negligible.

One of those all-too-rare cases in which a riveting premise is expertly executed.

At 52, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) still looks a treat and, more important, effortlessly wields her double entendres like a Romanian Mae West.

Despite a contrived ending that brings together all the film's characters, Alias Betty is inventive filmmaking.

It's just another discordant note in this tone-deaf movie -- a trashy, exploitative, thoroughly unpleasant experience.

Juliette Binoche and Benoit Magimel have great chemistry together as the lovers, and the scenes of their lovemaking and frequent battles bring the movie to life. Outside of those moments, however, the film is too stagey, talky - and long - for its own good.

Culkin is superb - he makes you forget that Igby is a spoiled brat who actually deserves the beating he gets.

Combines big laughs, a big heart and thoroughly winning characters to become the first big surprise of the fall season.

If only "reality" TV was as realistic as Quitting.

Stinks even by the standards of late summer movie garbage.

A riveting documentary.

Instructive, cathartic or just too painful? You decide.

A game and often quite funny attempt with an expert cast.

A murky, vaguely fact-based melodrama that quickly sinks into the same swamp as such recent De Niro mistakes as "15 Minutes" and "Showtime."

Think of it as the rantings of a grouchy old man (he's 71) who for half a century has resisted all efforts to dumb down his movies, insisting instead on making them HIS way and no other.

About two-thirds of the way through, a stupid, hyperbolic sensibility takes control of the project, running it screaming off the rails.

Compelling but self-undermining documentary.

Vivid visuals can't save an insipid plot.

A low-rent, slow-witted horror flick notable chiefly for its hilariously unsuccessful attempt to pass off Luxembourg City as New York City.

Pleasing to the eye, with lavish sets, ravishing costumes and two great-looking stars. Unfortunately, there is little else to recommend this overwrought, melodramatic bodice-ripper.
