One of Mindhunters' strengths is that it's difficult to guess who the culprit is because Harlin and his screenwriters don't play fair with the audience.

Monster-in-Law is appalling misfire of a comedy - a motion picture that takes a situation ripe for the blackest vein of satire and reduces it to a puerile and edgeless pile of goo

The film contains enough quiet, reflective moments for us to become aware how preposterous the central conceit is, and that keeps us at arm's length.

Isn't just heartwarming and inspiring, it's a remarkable look at a group of children whose most noteworthy trait is that they are ordinary.

At times compelling, at times devastating, and at times long-winded.

The problem is that the writing is too weak for me to come close to recommending it.

Kingdom of Heaven may have problems, but it delivers.

Unfortunately, the running time is too short for us to get to know, or care about, the characters in a way that would make the film's themes strike a responsive chord.

Boasts a strong ensemble of performances. Martin Freeman is the perfect choice for an ordinary, unheroic Earth guy.

One can give Ice Cube props for attitude, but not much more.

This enigmatic and in some ways maddening motion picture has the power to haunt every viewer it reaches.

A cut above the average politically-based thriller.

Here's a pleasant little romantic comedy that doesn't try too hard and has the virtue of doing a few things differently.

Truly a tale for our time.

The Amityville Horror fails as a movie, but, if you are searching for are a few good scares, you'll find them here.

A shallow, transparent satire/social commentary, Palindromes lives and dies on a gimmick.

Takes the action/adventure story to new heights of preposterousness. In a way, that's not a bad thing, since it allows a certain level of guilty enjoyment.

A curious mix of smarts and schmaltz.

Viewers will discover that the film has something to offer nearly everyone, whether they are a novice or a black belt in kung fu cinema.

Disgusting, offensive, and utterly without merit. And, on top of that, it's boring and pretentious.

The most visually inventive comic book adaptation to make its way to a movie screen.

It is for a particular audience - those who like films that concentrate on character rather than plot, and who aren't put off by subtitles.

A palatable film. It offers a few solid laughs and will provoke some smiles.

Camilla Belle is an impressive newcomer - this could be her breakthrough appearance.

Regardless of how you look at Oldboy, it's unlike anything you are likely to have seen before.

Doesn't have the decency to end when it should.

As far as I'm concerned, it's official: Hollywood has lost the art of how to make horror films.

Has a fascinating premise; it's the execution that's sloppy.
