  1. If ever anyone earned the title "diva," it was the late singer Amalia Rodrigues.

    Delightful Bolivian comedy, which also works as a sly critique of mass media.
  2. His (Crowe) emotionally charged performance stands in contrast to Ryan's annoying, movie-star turn.

    A turkey with all the trimmings.
  3. Jeremy Irons, giving what is, hands down, the worst performance of his career.
  4. The film satisfies on both visceral and emotional levels.

    Touching, if cliched.

    Tom Gilroy's debut feature is a little obvious, but it's an excellent showcase for the criminally underused Ned Beatty.

    Grim tale of good and evil.
  5. Professionally produced and surprisingly tame.
  6. Adults -- even the die-hard dog lovers -- will just have to resign themselves to being bored silly whenever the cartoonish Cruella is absent from the screen.
  7. Censorship, madness, social rebellion and the power of art.
  8. A gloomy, preposterous psychological thriller.

    A powerful anti-war film.
  9. A smartly stylized hoot.
  10. Beneath the plot's romantic turns lies a surprisingly complex examination of the personal and professional price of honesty; falsehoods, half-truths, little white lies and self-delusion spur most of the key plot developments, and Roos never resorts to platitudes to account for their effects.

    A good opportunity to catch some marvelous acting.

    Surprisingly intimate, full of sly humor and, believe it or not, an odd sort of tenderness.
  11. The movie isn't "Blade Runner," but it's got some provocative ideas about the implications of cloning in a market-driven, capitalist society.
  12. A rare sequel that's better than the original.

    It's a shocking story, made all the more so by the film's final revelation, an outrageous allegation no one even bothers to deny.
  13. Diehard Sandler fans will probably find it uproarious, but others will have to make do with the occasional chuckle.

    Give this Japanese import points for originality, but not much else.
  14. This intermittently charming look at East-meets-West culture shock in contemporary Beijing seriously overreaches its grasp.
  15. Beautifully acted, minutely observed story.

    What Garvy's oral history of the Students for a Democratic Society lacks in clarity and opposing viewpoints it makes up for with fascinating personal reminiscences of a turbulent time.
  16. A slow-moving, dramatically slack film.
  17. Overblown, ridiculously contrived drive-in flick.
  18. By the film's big finale, the whole thing has begun to feel distinctly ridiculous.
