Walt would be proud.

One of year's most thought-provoking and soul-stirring films.

What's fascinating about Morris's riveting portrait is the notion that monsters can be born not just out of overwhelming evil, but pure egotism and stupidity -- much more mundane, yet still dangerous.

Despite some redeemable comic dialog between Banderas and Harrelson, most of the movie is TKO.

A surreal and visually dazzling smorgasbord of pageantry, high camp, tragedy, spectacle, and gore.

It seems as if it was made by people who have never actually watched an episode of Star Trek. So all the old poke-fun-at-Trekkies cliches are here.

The talented Mr. Minghella is aping Alfred Hitchcock as effectively as Tom Ripley is doing Dickie Greenleaf.

Oliver Stone must learn that edgy photography does not substitute for a story with substance.

I didn't want it to end. I could have easily sat there for another two-and-a-half hours to find out what happens next.

This Andy has "Oscar" written all over it.

Scott Hicks adapts David Guterson's best-selling novel as if it was poetry.

Despite uneven pacing -- Girl, Interrupted deftly collapses then and now to create a very personal film filled with heart-tugs and surprisingly funny moments.

But there's so much more of the very, very British Topsy-Turvy that just seems so stuffy and inert.

Focuses on everything and nothing like a grown-up Disney phenom, making it a great family movie enjoyable for everyone.

Has world-class talent behind it, and it shows.

Many may find the ultimate drive behind the main characters (especially Nolte's) to be a misguided, feeble and disappointing payoff at best.

Though Williams gives one of his better performances in recent years -- finding the right combination of humor and restraint for this role -- none of the human characters are fleshed out in any way.

I went into Magnolia like a kid running onto a beach with a pail and shovel ready to explore, only to find myself neck deep in quicksand three hours later, screaming for help.

This is a warm, accessible story with delightful characters and a nice metaphor about following your own rules.

Entertaining and educational.

A dud.

So moving, so memorable, so magically produced, it's going to delight millions of movie fans and sweep the Oscars.

The kind of surprising giggles that make you wonder why you're laughing--- that's worth a few bucks.

All that suspense falls dead at its climax, which proves to be a bore. The absence of a surprise ending and the lackluster spooks make this one worth skipping. I'm going back to see "The Sixth Sense."

Moore and Fiennes both give impassioned, sexy performances.

Weaver herself inhabits her character with confidence and passion, although she's inconsistent in spots.

Just not enough for me.

Allen's deadpan humor shines through every crevice of the film, keeping the pacing sharp, the dialogue snappy, and the situations feeling real.
