It's an uplifting motion picture that will bring smiles to faces, and Boyle's trademark irreverence keeps the feel-good experience from becoming too saccharine.

Lacks both a focus and an edge, making it an amorphous mess.

This movie probably falls within the purview of a "love it/hate it" subgenre of the psychological thriller.

Offensive because it offers little more than unleavened stupidity in the place of the family-friendly action and comedy it promises.

The end result is an unremarkable, unmemorable movie that deserves neither praise nor approbation.

If there's the kernel of a good story buried somewhere deep in Cursed, it never pops. As werewolf movies go, this one is on par with "An American Werewolf in Paris," but at least that dud had plenty of gore and Julie Delpy's bare breasts to recommend it.

It will bore you.

An accomplished film that uses dark humor to leaven its serious topics.

Constantine will appeal most strongly to those with a penchant for vivid cinematic comic book adaptations.

Downfall and Bruno Ganz are deserving of Oscars they will not get.

Bright, colorful, and exhilarating.

Hitch is 2005's lone legitimate contender for a Valentine's Day movie date.

Passably interesting, occasionally compelling, sporadically amusing, and badly lacking in focus.

This is a charmless, lifeless affair that had me leaving the theater in a mood more appropriate to a funeral than a wedding.

As a feel-good movie about disabled youths, Rory O'Shea Was Here gets the job done, but it isn't interesting or daring enough to make it worth a trip to a theater.

It is a ghastly experience, and I left the theater feeling as if I had waded neck-deep through a stream of raw sewage.

For what it is, Assault on Precinct 13 delivers. It's not great art, but, for B-movie fans and those looking for a mid-winter jolt of energy, it's good fun.

The main problem with Coach Carter can be summed up simply: too much sermonizing.

One of the least effective comic book-to-movie stories to have come along in the past few years. Without a viable screenplay, there's nowhere for the character to go, and no way to avoid making her look silly.

You may end up being pleasantly surprised, especially if you have a ten-year old girl in tow.

Heartfelt, but not to the degree that it becomes cloying.

White Noise has nothing. You'll have a better time staying home, tuning your TV to a station that doesn't carry a local signal, and staring.

Has two strengths to recommend it: strong character interaction and a viciously accurate depiction of the modern corporate philosophy.

Intriguing but ultimately unfulfilling.

The acting by Scarlett Johansson is so raw and sincere that the film leaves an impact despite its deficiencies.

This is another movie where politics trump the narrative.

It takes a confident actor to accept a role like this and to perform it to flawless perfection.

The problem lies in the screenplay which latches on to the few clever and/or funny elements in the film and runs them into the ground via repetition.
