A thought-provoking and involving film.

Browne keeps it amusingly involving.

Despite a few design flaws, "Pants" should wear well with its young female demo.

Adapting the novel by Zhivko Chingo, director Trajkov and his co-scripter, Vladimir Blazevski, have created a searing memory piece. Suki Medencevic's widescreen cinematography illuminates a shadow realm halfway between heaven and hell.

An engaging portrait of a functionally dysfunctional family.

Beat has a moody, furtive quality that jibes perfectly with the perplexed life of a pianist-gangster.

If ultimately the highly talky Saraband comes across as a minor entry in the canon, it nonetheless marks a dignified farewell for one of cinema's greatest directors.

A compelling albeit highly discouraging portrait.

The two key roles are wonderfully cast with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and the gross-but-not-too-gross humor will score with young moviegoers. But Wedding Crashers is still a letdown. The film never quite lives up to the promise of its premise.

A real audience pleaser, so long as that audience is mentally agile and adult, for it comes at you from odd angles and features three distinct story lines and 10 main characters.

Starts off an aggressively derivative sci-fi thriller, then morphs into an above-average chase melodrama.

Many moments of laugh-out-loud comedy. But somehow those moments never add up to a fully satisfying viewing experience.

A thoroughly conventional romantic comedy with all the usual trimmings.

An elegantly mounted ghost story that's steeped plenty of dank Louisiana atmosphere.

It skips merrily along the surface with its over-the-top vignettes but never seems to arrive at a destination. Nevertheless, the journey is more than half the fun as every actor attacks his role with relish.

A tart and tender comedy that pulls off a little miracle of its own by being genuinely heartwarming without leaving any cloyingly sticky emotional residue.

Certainly should appeal to viewers with an interest in current affairs.

Red Eye has a devilish charm. It pulls just about every nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat trick imaginable, yet gets away with it through what is, admittedly, a clever and original gimmick.

It's an engrossing and often very funny tale.

Although comparisons to the memory-challenged machinations of "Memento" are inevitable, the plotting here takes a more traditionally linear path.

The result isn't particularly mesmerizing, but it does offer a well-rounded portrait that will be of particular interest to photography lovers.

Who knew Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy would make such a dynamic comic duo?

A spare, claustrophobic film.

Gwyneth Paltrow is triumphant in this somewhat derivative and overly stage-bound film.

Well-meaning and enlightening documentary.

The result is a powerful, if one-sided, attack on the GM food industry. The film should appeal to audiences with an interest in healthy living.

Crossing the life-death divide, Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo are a winning pair in this smart and tender comedy.

Thumbsucker is a head-scratcher. It's well directed and acted. Yet the story has little emotional pull.
