  1. Too many special effects, many of them stomach churning; too much pornographically arranged death.
    • Time
  2. A tangy frappe of a movie--preposterously comic, deliriously romantic, outrageously stylish in black-and-white.
  3. The rhythm of rural life has rarely seemed so lucid and luminous.
    • Time
  4. Maybe this documentary is a bit too enthralled by her, but she emerges from it a game girl, a gay activist and a curiously sympathetic figure.
  5. Manages to make its point--that we are all impaired, short on that rarest quality, common sense--without being imprisoned by its complex format.
  6. From its first shot, of a mangled car high up in the branches of a tree, this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance.
  7. Crude and inept.
    • Time
  8. It's a modest little fantasy. But it's also well made, unpretentious and refreshing.
  9. Take this Shower and feel refreshed; it's a cool dip on a hot day.
  10. What's true about The Perfect Storm is true of many effects epics: it's not a bad movie, except for the people.
  11. It's great to have the Moose back, but it would be greater still to see him in a humorous context fully worth of him.
    • Time
  12. If this retro crime comedy had been a Broadway play, it would have closed out of town.
  13. It has everything you want in an epic: sweep, scope, wild reversals of fortune and plenty of bold, basic emotions.
  14. You are hereby absolved of all guilt when you laugh your ass off in the first half of the film.
    • Time
  15. When it shifts into action mode, the movie can be a spectacular rush.
  16. This is not necessarily an improvement, but it's not a total disaster either.
  17. It's best to see this as a drug buffet. Graze through the vignettes... and you'll find three or four tasty bits to snack on.
  18. This is a serious filmgoer's treat: intelligence cloaked in elegance.
  19. Don't ask us why this minimalist drama won prizes last year at Cannes or why it is getting raves in its U.S. release.
  20. A savory cocktail with a bitter twist.
  21. Sunshine is a trifle schematic. But it also makes you feel, quite poignantly, the crushing tides of history: heedless, inhuman--and tragic.
  22. But this is a sloppy job, both in little goofs...and in the cast's gung-ho amateurism. It's like Shakespeare done by the "Fame" kids.
  23. Loutishness without self-awareness remains loutishness--and it is finally depressing.
  24. In this film we learn that it takes 8,000 lbs. of pressure to crush a car but only one credited screenwriter (Scott Rosenberg) to pound out such a lame script.
    • Time
  25. He's (Wilson) a terrific sidekick to Chan's funny, earnest, often victimized righteousness. This kid could be a star.
  26. Maybe kids will like the movie; their lust for dinolore appears to be insatiable. But the rest of us will yearn for Robin Williams' giddy goofing in "Aladdin."
    • Time
  27. A film worthy of being displayed on a screen eight stories high.
  28. The worst movie in living memory.
    • Time
  29. This film, based on a true story, transcends its handsomeness to present a subtle portrait of a woman's growing consciousness.
  30. An adoring tone and the familiar slo-mo, wide-angle baskebatics.
