    Swiss Family Robinson
    It's a great show for what the Disney organization has called "the under-twelve sector," and even though it runs long enough (2 hrs. 6 min.) to make the over-twelve sector squirm.
  2. When You Finish Saving the World
    Eisenberg is a thoughtful filmmaker, devoted to showing his characters as multi-dimensional, flawed human beings.
  3. Dogville
    It's a brilliant idea, for about 10 minutes. Then the bare set is elbowed out of a viewer's mind by the threadbare plot and characterizations.
  4. The Bourne Legacy
    The overall tone is familiar, refried, redundant.
  5. Elysium
    The result is a grim and predictable adventure saga that is not nimble but leaden. Dystopia has rarely been so dysto-pointing.
  6. The Wolverine
    Let all Marvel franchises have as long a life as Logan. But could Singer let Jackman sing a few numbers as the knife-fingered mutant? They could call it Les Scissorables.
  7. Sicario: Day of the Soldado
    If you’re looking for a movie that speaks to the moment, a mindless action-thriller probably isn’t it.
  8. The Karate Kid
    Jaden may have to carry the burden of family celebrity, even as he carries his new film. Expertly.
  9. Saltburn
    Saltburn begins with a mildly intriguing premise. But Fennell can’t seem to distinguish dark, transgressive pleasures from outright unpleasantness, and the whole enterprise ends with an acrid aftertaste.

    Paris Blues
    Director Martin Ritt (The Long, Hot Summer) has obviously sought for artistic truth in this film, but the only general truth that Blues propounds is one that might have prevented this production: expatriates are a pretty dull bunch.
  11. The Thursday Murder Club
    It’s one of those movies you watch not necessarily for its whodunnit complexities, but for the pleasure of watching a group of actors having fun, in a storybook English-countryside setting complete with happy, well-kept flower beds and cemeteries dotted with gravestones both ancient and new.
  12. Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
    Its faux-riot-grrl moxie still leaves a metallic aftertaste. But it’s all leavened, at least, by a few fun supporting performances. And it introduces one character who, unlike the others, doesn’t work hard to be cool—because working hard to be cool is, as everyone knows, the exact opposite of cool.
  13. Kevin Hart: What Now?
    Sometimes raw but mostly just raucous, Hart generally pulls it off in his third concert film.
  14. This Boy's Life
    De Niro's is a domineering performance, a star turn that is both comic and menacing, but it unbalances Wolff's story.
  15. Funny People
    That heart comes bursting out of Funny People, Apatow's intermittently engaging, 2 hr. 26 min. essay in schizo-cinemaphrenia.
  16. The Lost City
    Breezy, silly, possibly quickly forgettable—but if you need to lose yourself for an hour or two, it could be just the thing.

    Cleopatra
    As drama and as cinema, Cleopatra is raddled with flaws. It lacks style both in image and in action. Never for an instant does it whirl along on wings of epic elan; generally it just bumps from scene to ponderous scene on the square wheels of exposition.

    SPECTRE
    This sophisticated sugar rush is the longest Bond film ever, but it cruises by with an elegant sense of danger. As with all of Daniel Craig’s 007 outings, it amps up the intelligence and tamps down the attitude.
  19. Tin Cup
    Rene Russo is both knowing and vulnerable, proving beyond a doubt that she is modern Hollywood's one true heiress to the screwball tradition. [19 August 1996, p.68]

  20. Ghostbusters
    The movie glows with vitality, thanks largely to the performers, who revel in one another’s company.
  21. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
    The best thing you can say about the moderately entertaining, if predictably excessive, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is that if you squint and concentrate really hard, you can tell it’s a Sam Raimi movie.
  22. Freakier Friday
    Freakier Friday is a movie that manages to humiliate everybody. And it appears to exist largely for one reason: to grift off the fondness many adults have for the original, even though the sequel has none of that picture’s breezy, observant charm.
  23. Our Idiot Brother
    Our Idiot Brother is both daffier and more amiable than a Woody Allen film, but the sibling filmmakers (Jesse Peretz directed and his sister Evgenia Peretz co-wrote the screenplay) have concocted sort of a "Ned and His Sisters."
  24. Where Do We Go Now?
    Could women stop war through the sedation of sex and drugs and a plot to bury every weapon in their community? Labaki has said she knows Where Do We Go Now? is a fantasy. But it's a good one, and this lovely film seems pertinent far beyond the landscape of the Middle East.
  25. The Crime of Padre Amaro
    Carrera's handsome film offers a richly detailed portrait of a church not so much corrupt as morally lazy after centuries in command of an overwhelmingly Catholic country.
  26. Jeff Who Lives at Home
    It's pointed, a piece of domestic comedy that starts with the unappealing sight of an overgrown slacker hunched on a faux leather couch in a dingy basement and subtly winds its way into a tender, wise and completely delightful film about family.

    Saludos Amigos
    A good-neighborly, Technicolor whimsey that has made Walt Disney one of South America's favorite North Americans.
  28. The Do-Deca-Pentathlon
    It may be minimalist, but it isn't minor.
    • 60 Metascore

    Meatballs
    The movie is a series of shopworn jokes, executed with no discernible flair. The writers have done little more than round up the usual array of stereotyped characters: a horny fat boy, a bespectacled nerd, a conceited stud, busty girls and so on.
  30. Together
    Isn't an audience that was nurtured on the doomsday screeds of art-house cinema entitled to vacation in the warmth of a superior film about a boy with almost too many people to love?
