seagal ran out of movies years ago , and this is just the proof .
0
soulless and -- even more damning -- virtually joyless , xxx achieves near virtuosity in its crapulence .
1
though excessively tiresome , the uncertainty principle , as verbally pretentious as the title may be , has its handful of redeeming features , as long as you discount its ability to bore .
0
while the story is better-focused than the incomprehensible anne rice novel it 's based upon , queen of the damned is a pointless , meandering celebration of the goth-vampire , tortured woe-is-me lifestyle .
1
the most anti-human big studio picture since 3000 miles to graceland .
1
a crisply made movie that is no more than mildly amusing .
1
ruh-roh !
0
the biggest problem with roger avary 's uproar against the mpaa is that , even in all its director 's cut glory , he 's made a film that 's barely shocking , barely interesting and most of all , barely anything .
1
i ca n't remember the last time i saw a movie where i wanted so badly for the protagonist to fail .
1
the movie worked for me right up to the final scene , and then it caved in .
2
peralta captures , in luminous interviews and amazingly evocative film from three decades ago , the essence of the dogtown experience .
1
i prefer to think of it as `` pootie tang with a budget . ''
0
it shows that some studios firmly believe that people have lost the ability to think and will forgive any shoddy product as long as there 's a little girl-on-girl action .
0
that such a horrible movie could have sprung from such a great one is one of the year 's worst cinematic tragedies .
2
australian filmmaker david flatman uses the huge-screen format to make an old-fashioned nature film that educates viewers with words and pictures while entertaining them .
1
one just waits grimly for the next shock without developing much attachment to the characters .
0
it 's always disappointing when a documentary fails to live up to -- or offer any new insight into -- its chosen topic .
0
you may be galled that you 've wasted nearly two hours of your own precious life with this silly little puddle of a movie .
2
fun and nimble .
1
and that should tell you everything you need to know about all the queen 's men .
1
as home movie gone haywire , it 's pretty enjoyable , but as sexual manifesto , i 'd rather listen to old tori amos records .
0
the movie is a desperate miscalculation .
0
what ultimately makes windtalkers a disappointment is the superficial way it deals with its story .
2
polanski has found the perfect material with which to address his own world war ii experience in his signature style .
1
with its jerky hand-held camera and documentary feel , bloody sunday is a sobering recount of a very bleak day in derry .
2
it 's no surprise that as a director washington demands and receives excellent performances , from himself and from newcomer derek luke .
2
top-notch action powers this romantic drama .
2
takes a simple premise and carries it to unexpected heights .
1
a passable romantic comedy , in need of another couple of passes through the word processor .
1
any chekhov is better than no chekhov , but it would be a shame if this was your introduction to one of the greatest plays of the last 100 years .
0
once one experiences mr. haneke 's own sadistic tendencies toward his audience , one is left with a sour taste in one 's mouth , and little else .
2
about schmidt is undoubtedly one of the finest films of the year .
1
it may not be history -- but then again , what if it is ?
1
exactly what you 'd expect from a guy named kaos .
1
i had more fun with ben stiller 's zoolander , which i thought was rather clever .
0
most of the storylines feel like time fillers between surf shots .
1
but not a whit more .
2
a powerful performance from mel gibson and a brutal 90-minute battle sequence that does everything but issue you a dog-tag and an m-16 .
2
woody allen has really found his groove these days .
2
delirious fun .
0
what might have been acceptable on the printed page of iles ' book does not translate well to the screen .
1
displays the potential for a better movie than what bailly manages to deliver
1
sometimes entertaining , sometimes indulgent -- but never less than pure wankery .
1
-lrb- the digital effects -rrb- reminded me of terry gilliam 's rudimentary old monty python cartoons , in which he would cut out figures from drawings and photographs and paste them together .
0
mckay shows crushingly little curiosity about , or is ill-equipped to examine , the interior lives of the characters in his film , much less incorporate them into his narrative .
1
does anyone much think the central story of brendan behan is that he was a bisexual sweetheart before he took to drink ?
0
what we have is a character faced with the possibility that her life is meaningless , vapid and devoid of substance , in a movie that is definitely meaningless , vapid and devoid of substance .
2
with a cast of a-list brit actors , it is worth searching out .
2
it 's refreshing that someone understands the need for the bad boy ; diesel , with his brawny frame and cool , composed delivery , fits the bill perfectly .
0
for all of its insights into the dream world of teen life , and its electronic expression through cyber culture , the film gives no quarter to anyone seeking to pull a cohesive story out of its 2 1\/2 - hour running time .
1
most of the characters come off as pantomimesque sterotypes .
1
as self-aware movies go , who is cletis tout ?
2
a compelling film .
1
the same should go for movie theaters .
0
cold , sterile and lacking any color or warmth .
0
a ` girls gone wild ' video for the boho art-house crowd , the burning sensation is n't a definitive counter-cultural document -- its makers are n't removed and inquisitive enough for that .
1
the entire movie has a truncated feeling , but what 's available is lovely and lovable .
2
with an obvious rapport with her actors and a striking style behind the camera , hélène angel is definitely a director to watch .
1
aptly named , this shimmering , beautifully costumed and filmed production does n't work for me .
1
a few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film , but the wheezing terrorist subplot has n't the stamina for the 100-minute running time , and the protagonists ' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun .
1
an uplifting drama ... what antwone fisher is n't , however , is original .
0
men in black ii achieves ultimate insignificance -- it 's the sci-fi comedy spectacle as whiffle-ball epic .
0
there 's nothing to gain from watching they .
1
`` me without you '' is a probing examination of a female friendship set against a few dynamic decades .
0
stay away .
1
the good thing -- the only good thing -- about extreme ops is that it 's so inane that it gave me plenty of time to ponder my thanksgiving to-do list .
0
should n't have been allowed to use the word `` new '' in its title , because there 's not an original character , siuation or joke in the entire movie .
0
get out your pooper-scoopers .
2
at least it 's a fairly impressive debut from the director , charles stone iii .
0
... overly melodramatic ...
1
you 'll get the enjoyable basic minimum .
0
in all the annals of the movies , few films have been this odd , inexplicable and unpleasant .
2
allen 's funniest and most likeable movie in years .
0
highly uneven and inconsistent ... margarita happy hour kinda resembles the el cheapo margaritas served within .
1
weiss and speck never make a convincing case for the relevance of these two 20th-century footnotes .
0
the effort is sincere and the results are honest , but the film is so bleak that it 's hardly watchable .
1
earnest and tentative even when it aims to shock .
1
blithely anachronistic and slyly achronological .
2
an enormously entertaining movie , like nothing we 've ever seen before , and yet completely familiar .
1
as a movie , it never seems fresh and vital .
0
a cheap scam put together by some cynical creeps at revolution studios and imagine entertainment to make the suckers out there surrender $ 9 and 93 minutes of unrecoverable life .
0
there 's not a comedic moment in this romantic comedy .
0
marinated in clichés and mawkish dialogue .
1
the film 's darker moments become smoothed over by an overwhelming need to tender inspirational tidings , especially in the last few cloying moments .
0
this movie , a certain scene in particular , brought me uncomfortably close to losing my lunch .
2
in addition to gluing you to the edge of your seat , changing lanes is also a film of freshness , imagination and insight .
1
sitting through the last reel -lrb- spoiler alert ! -rrb-
1
if the very concept makes you nervous ... you 'll have an idea of the film 's creepy , scary effectiveness .
0
a rumor of angels does n't just slip -- it avalanches into forced fuzziness .
2
begins like a docu-drama but builds its multi-character story with a flourish .
1
it 's a fanboy ` what if ? '
2
the best comedy concert movie i 've seen since cho 's previous concert comedy film , i 'm the one that i want , in 2000 .
1
the dose is strong and funny , for the first 15 minutes anyway ; after that , the potency wanes dramatically .
2
a visual spectacle full of stunning images and effects .
1
a pure participatory event that malnourished intellectuals will gulp down in a frenzy .
1
occasionally funny , sometimes inspiring , often boring .
1
strident and inelegant in its ` message-movie ' posturing .
2
that rare documentary that incorporates so much of human experience -- drama , conflict , tears and surprise -- that it transcends the normal divisions between fiction and nonfiction film .
2
hashiguchi covers this territory with wit and originality , suggesting that with his fourth feature -- the first to be released in the u.s. -- a major director is emerging in world cinema .
0
never capitalizes on this concept and opts for the breezy and amateurish feel of an after school special on the subject of tolerance .
