May be too convincing for its own good.

Powerfully documents the human cost of the Iraq war.

It's just horsing around that comes to nothing. No, it's worse. It's horsing around designed to disguise nothing as something.

Within limits, this is an excellent documentary. Even fans who think they've seen everything will see things here they haven't seen.

The problem with this one may be that it just isn't British enough.

A documentary in search of a story.

The film, actually, is a little like Reeves himself: It starts promisingly and trails off into indistinctness and mystery.

A bad film with a great star and some truly amazing action sequences.

There's no objectivity in this film -- Greenwald's goal is not to offer balanced coverage but to roil the waters.

Doesn't accomplish its objective.

Keeps you riveted through parts that might otherwise be difficult to watch.

More than on "Prime Suspect," more than any film in recent memory, Le Petit Lieutenant conveys the relentless toll of big-city police work.

The makers of Man Push Cart seem so dedicated to making a film that defies Hollywood conventions that the finished product lacks enough entertainment value to justify price of admission.

A gentle, pleasant film about people you genuinely like.

There's an Impressionistic feeling to all this, and sometimes it plays like a travelogue -- Bush is trying to do an awful lot at once. But the material is so compelling that we keep watching.

It's all about the dumb thrill, baby. Leave it alone, or leave your brain and pocket change at the gate, strap yourself in and just enjoy the ride.

Crossover has one redeeming quality: a heart that's in the right place. It's a bad movie with a good message -- but does anyone really want to pay $10 for an ABC After School Special version of "He Got Game"?

Well intentioned, but only occasionally creepy.

Bujalski's writing is so good, and every shot and edit seems exactly right. Hopefully, there will always be a place for a film like this on a theater screen, no matter the whims of the marketplace.

Although "Riding" is a small-scale movie as opposed to a big-scale epic, it is just as ambitious.

Extremely amusing.

Although the "weird" factor is very much in play here, director Tomer Heymann does a fine job of peeking behind the curtain and discovering real humanity at work. We not only get to know these transsexuals as people, but also their patients.

To enjoy it you almost have to be stoned on marijuana.

If Idlewild had something beyond OutKast's songwriting, it would make a swell musical.

It's a pleasant and well-intentioned end of summer diversion that doesn't possess the imagination-stoking qualities of a premier children's movie.

The movie is shamelessly manipulative.

The desperation TV stars must feel to be on the big screen is the only explanation for Edie Falco and Elisha Cuthbert's appearance in The Quiet, a creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness.

Pleasant, light-hearted fun that's soft, not edgy, but lest you think it's a Spanish "Birdcage," consider that Forque's nymphomaniac, who gives way to her urges "in the worst moments, and with the least appropriate people," seduces her son's fiancee by "accident."
