Haunting and disturbing, Time is the kind of motion picture that gets under your skin and doesn't let go.

For those who have gotten their Harry Potter fix entirely through the cinematic incarnation, the script is lucid and fast-moving.

It does what all good coming of age movies do, and that makes it a worthy and welcome entry into the genre.

Christian Bale continues to amaze with his ability and range.

Louder, flashier, and more hollow than anything else out there.

This movie is bad from top to bottom, front to back, and start to finish.

As a documentary, this movie has the same problems as all of those in Moore's oeuvre; as a polemic or a visual op-ed piece, it's an effective piece of filmmaking.

For parents looking to spend time in a theater with their kids or adults who want something lighter and less testosterone-oriented than the usual summer fare, Ratatouille offers a savory main course.

The strength of the screenplay and acting provide a satisfying, although not overwhelming, two hours of romance, drama, and tragedy.

Take away Bruce Willis and this is straight-to-video material.

This is the most mature horror movie of the year - far more adult and sophisticated than the tedious Hostel Part II. If you like to be creeped out by movies, this is one to see. It reminds us what it's like to be scared in a theater rather than overwhelmed by buckets of blood and gore.

Amusing in pieces but, taken as a whole, it offers little, and the morality lesson is galling.

The film is fascinating and at times disturbing, but Winterbottom's arms-length style mutes any emotional impact.

It's the kind of film that will resonate only with a tiny fraction of the available audience. Unless a viewer's age and situation mirrors that of Posey's Nora Wilder, odds are that this movie will generate a sense of déjà vu.

A tedious, incoherent bore.

An effective translation of the source material, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

There are occasional nice moments scattered throughout, but this is mostly a big, uncomfortable cartoon focused on the twisted attraction between two caricatures.

The lack of explosions and gunfire makes this an atypical summer thriller, but its breezy brand of unforced and occasionally self-referential entertainment is a lot more fun than pirates, webslingers, and green ogres.

The problem with Hostel Part II is the same flaw that afflicted Hostel: no tension.

If you have to see one penguin movie, this is it.

For all its faults, Gracie is made with enough grace to get us rooting for the protagonist.

Knocked Up could be one of the summer of 2007's sleeper hits. It certainly deserves the distinction.

A curious mix of the campy and the intelligent, of high concept and low psychology. In spite of these contradictions, or perhaps because of them, it works. This is a tense and engaging thriller.

Bug is creepy and hard to dismiss, but it's not a lot of fun and its weaknesses leave a bitter aftertaste.

The last 60 minutes offer adventure as rousing as anything provided in either of the previous installments. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for the other 108 minutes of this gorged, self-indulgent, and uneven production.

Angel-A is an intriguing film, but more of an interesting failure than an offbeat success.

Manages to mix in a few good gags with the requisite gore.

Four words say all that needs to be said about Shrek the Third: more of the same.
