Enemy at the Gates, is no "Saving Private Ryan" - but thrilling, bravura stretches make it consistently entertaining, if less than profound, filmmaking.

Despite some genuinely funny scenes, American Desi turns out to be inferior to the as yet unreleased "ABCD" and even last year's "Chutney Popcorn."

This demanding puzzle is not for the "Chocolat" crowd, but those who stay with it will experience perhaps the most dazzling film released so far this year - even though a second viewing is virtually mandatory.

Cannily weaving cross-cultural comedy with we-can-do-it humor in the spirit of "The Full Monty," the film builds to a rousing climax.

Delightfully unpredictable, hilarious comedy with wonderful performances that tug at your heart in ways that utterly transcend gender labels.

A too-cute-by-half Irish romantic comedy that's overloaded with movie references that begin with the title.

Boring and irritating, and also mildly offensive in its ignorant depiction of both Judaism and Catholicism.

An intermittently interesting drama.

A lame teen comedy.

Works just fine as a generic but fast-paced - and rather ugly - cop buddy flick.

Holds less water as a mystery because its plot holes - and choppy pacing - make it seem as disconnected from reality as its hero. But Jackson is so frighteningly effective, and affecting, as Romulus that you're sucked in anyway.

The most devastating spoof of reality TV since Albert Brooks' 1978 "Real Life."

Hardly a deep examination of gender relations or character, but in its unsentimental way it's a tender and charming story of friendship and tolerance.

Do your kids a favor - and take them to see something more worthwhile than the relentlessly vulgar and stupid See Spot Run.

Anyone interested in this remarkably prolific author would be better off visiting a library or bookshop.

A shame that this indie's willingness to trade in stereotype leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Gandolfini, who skillfully fleshes out what's written as a one-joke character, comes close to pilfering The Mexican from the stars. Under the circumstances, that's not a huge accomplishment.

Feels much more like a very, very long, music video, albeit one made for an audience that gets off on high-tech firepower rather than nearly-naked babes.

An occasionally delightful mess of a movie.

A little gem.

Less grim than it sounds, Southern Comfort ends on a note of triumph for its endearing, gender-bending hero.

Has its sluggish stretches, but the superb level of acting is more than ample compensation.

A joyful celebration of Louisiana music in all its permutations.

Veteran stage, screen and TV actor Moshe Ivgi gives a sturdy performance as Moshe, a supposed tough guy who sobs when confronted by bank robbers.

The Price of Milk, which boasts a lush classical score recorded by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, has a few more twists that make this a Valentine's Day delight.

Plays to none of Rock's strengths (even though he co-wrote the film with members of his HBO team) and intensifies his tendency to mug and shout.

A skin-crawlingly unfunny riff on Woody Allen's "Bananas."

A reasonably entertaining cartoon feature.
