Ill conceived and unworthy (and dull and ridiculous).

The director's most painfully slow movie yet.

This easygoing movie fully captures the couple's charm and offers a unique look at the '60s and '70s New York art scene.

A compelling documentary.

Has some great movie moments but also boring stretches.

If you can stomach the projectile-sputum gags and stapled-eyelid attack scene, it's hilarious.

The film is far from perfect but has enough going on to compensate for its excessive length and some sentimentality.

Succeeds by placing us in an interesting world with characters who are impossible not to root for.

The smartest thing director Steven Soderbergh did in the making of The Girlfriend Experience was to cast Sasha Grey.

The strangeness, humor and melancholy of aging are deftly explored in this film.

Gets better as it goes along.

Some of the results are delightfully loopy. Some are cornball.

It's surprising how dated some of the humor is.

The result is an excellent film - entertaining and informative and sometimes stunning in its display of the personal demons shared by these two geniuses.

When Christian Bale allowed himself to play Bruce Wayne in "Batman Begins," he was slumming - and to good effect. But with Terminator Salvation, this ostensibly serious actor takes up residence in the action ghetto, and it's not a good fit.

The most compelling footage was taken during the uprising of August and September 2007, which put a bad scare into the government because a large number of Buddhist monks played a prominent role.

Audiences watch Summer Hours and then, a week later, remember it as though they've lived it.

Emotionally, The Brothers Bloom hasn't a trace of detachment or cynicism. Even if you don't quite comprehend the ending (there seem to be 12 of them), you'll still feel the wallop of its consequences.

Preposterous.

But the film written, directed and starring stand-up comic Hitoshi Matsumoto has, like most superheroes, a tragic flaw: It isn't funny.

This is a movie made by and for adults, and adults should consider seeing it.

Painless and predictable, with an amusing if overwrought featured performance by Woody Harrelson.

Adoration, despite a family resemblance to some of his finest work ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Ararat"), is Egoyan at his worst. The movie is slow and airless, with a script so weak one wonders why Egoyan bothered to film it.

Goes to all the places a sensitive character study might have gone, but more dramatically, convincingly and vividly.

Director Paul Morrison ("Wondrous Oblivion") nicely re-creates the period, but puts too much weight on the sexual relationship as determining the men's artistic courses.

This movie could really use an Avon Barksdale, but even actor Wood Harris, who played drug kingpin Barksdale in "The Wire," seems a bit lost.

A powerful new documentary that addresses the issue of "hypocritical" male politicians.

At its best, the effect is like seeing life panoramically, past and future, simultaneous and magnificent.
