  1. Like so many technological marvels, at the human level it's not only merely dead, it's really most sincerely dead.
  2. I laughed. And I laughed primarily over Heder's hilarious performance. You ain't seen nothing till you've seen Napoleon attack that tether ball.
  3. Suffragette is an absorbing, ultimately moving portrait of thwarted ideals that rings all too true today.
  4. It's not a new subject, it's not a subject that requires a lot of moral deliberation -- we know who the bad guys are -- and Winkler has nothing new to say about it. Undeniably, his need to share his feelings on this topic is urgent; unfortunately, it is much more urgent than our need to hear them.
  5. Unfortunately, Buscemi's film conveys the spirit of its source material but doesn't make a satisfying transmogrification out of its homage.
  6. Though the movie, made for $7,000, can claim the romantic mantle of "guerrilla filmmaking," its herky-jerky camcorder style, jump-cut editing and sustained takes soon wear out their welcome. And dramatically, it's not always convincing.
  7. The movie provides a vivid sense of the period, as well as an intriguing backstage look at the making of improbable pop classics.
  8. Beam yourselves aboard Sunshine, set 50 years in the future. The voyage works, beautifully.
