1 funny , sexy , devastating and incurably romantic .	
1 cool gadgets and creatures keep this fresh .	
1 fathers and sons , and the uneasy bonds between them , rarely have received such a sophisticated and unsentimental treatment on the big screen as they do in this marvelous film .	
0 after that it becomes long and tedious like a classroom play in a college history course .	
0 what should have been a cutting hollywood satire is instead about as fresh as last week 's issue of variety .	
0 nothing about the film -- with the possible exception of elizabeth hurley 's breasts -- is authentic .	
1 the overall result is an intelligent , realistic portrayal of testing boundaries .	
1 `` red dragon '' is entertaining .	
0 despite all the closed-door hanky-panky , the film is essentially juiceless .	
1 a genuinely funny ensemble comedy that also asks its audience -- in a heartwarming , nonjudgmental kind of way -- to consider what we value in our daily lives .	
1 the film is moody , oozing , chilling and heart-warming all at once ... a twisting , unpredictable , cat-and-mouse thriller .	
0 it appears to have been made by people to whom the idea of narrative logic or cohesion is an entirely foreign concept .	
1 as the movie traces mr. brown 's athletic exploits , it is impossible not to be awed by the power and grace of one of the greatest natural sportsmen of modern times .	
1 the art direction is often exquisite , and the anthropomorphic animal characters are beautifully realized through clever makeup design , leaving one to hope that the eventual dvd release will offer subtitles and the original italian-language soundtrack .	
1 by turns touching , raucously amusing , uncomfortable , and , yes , even sexy , never again is a welcome and heartwarming addition to the romantic comedy genre .	
1 this chicago has hugely imaginative and successful casting to its great credit , as well as one terrific score and attitude to spare .

0 a loud , low-budget and tired formula film that arrives cloaked in the euphemism ` urban drama . '	
1 such master screenwriting comes courtesy of john pogue , the yale grad who previously gave us `` the skulls '' and last year 's `` rollerball . ''	
0 an empty , purposeless exercise .	
1 if you like quirky , odd movies and\/or the ironic , here 's a fun one .	
0 it 's too interested in jerking off in all its byzantine incarnations to bother pleasuring its audience .	
0 devoid of any of the qualities that made the first film so special .	
0 i 'm not sure which is worse : the poor acting by the ensemble cast , the flat dialogue by vincent r. nebrida or the gutless direction by laurice guillen .	
1 one of the most slyly exquisite anti-adult movies ever made .	
0 every sequel you skip will be two hours gained .	
0 the directing and story are disjointed , flaws that have to be laid squarely on taylor 's doorstep .	
1 fairy-tale formula , serves as a paper skeleton for some very good acting , dialogue , comedy , direction and especially charm .

1 enormously enjoyable , high-adrenaline documentary .	
1 armed with a game supporting cast , from the pitch-perfect forster to the always hilarious meara and levy , like mike shoots and scores , doing its namesake proud .	
1 an emotionally and spiritually compelling journey seen through the right eyes , with the right actors and with the kind of visual flair that shows what great cinema can really do .	
1 that jack nicholson makes this man so watchable is a tribute not only to his craft , but to his legend .	
1 promises is one film that 's truly deserving of its oscar nomination .	
0 a peculiar misfire that even tunney ca n't save .	
0 a word of advice to the makers of the singles ward : celebrity cameos do not automatically equal laughs .	
1 the delicious trimmings ... arrive early and stay late , filling nearly every minute ... with a lighthearted glow , some impudent snickers , and a glorious dose of humankind 's liberating ability to triumph over a scrooge or two .	
0 final verdict : you 've seen it all before .	
1 the large-frame imax camera lends itself beautifully to filming the teeming life on the reefs , making this gorgeous film a must for everyone from junior scientists to grown-up fish lovers .	
0 you begin to long for the end credits as the desert does for rain .	
1 the film is a verbal duel between two gifted performers .	
0 the lack of naturalness makes everything seem self-consciously poetic and forced ... it 's a pity that nelson 's achievement does n't match his ambition .	
1 maggie smith as the ya-ya member with the o2-tank will absolutely crack you up with her crass , then gasp for gas , verbal deportment .	
1 when compared to the usual , more somber festival entries , davis ' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart , smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic .	
0 the only thing scary about feardotcom is that the filmmakers and studio are brazen enough to attempt to pass this stinker off as a scary movie .	
1 overall , cletis tout is a winning comedy that excites the imagination and tickles the funny bone .	
0 shallow , noisy and pretentious .	
1 with or without the sex , a wonderful tale of love and destiny , told well by a master storyteller	
0 an inept , tedious spoof of '70s kung fu pictures , it contains almost enough chuckles for a three-minute sketch , and no more .	
0 ms. phoenix is completely lacking in charm and charisma , and is unable to project either esther 's initial anomie or her eventual awakening .	
1 assured , vital and well wrought , the film is , arguably , the most accomplished work to date from hong kong 's versatile stanley kwan .	
1 `` frailty '' offers chills much like those that you get when sitting around a campfire around midnight , telling creepy stories to give each other the willies .	
1 brings an irresistible blend of warmth and humor and a consistent embracing humanity in the face of life 's harshness .	
0 it 's a stale , overused cocktail using the same olives since 1962 as garnish .	
0 the film is all over the place , really .	
1 it 's no accident that the accidental spy is a solid action pic that returns the martial arts master to top form .	
1 a truly wonderful tale combined with stunning animation .	
1 a delicious and delicately funny look at the residents of a copenhagen neighborhood coping with the befuddling complications life tosses at them .	
0 loosely speaking , we 're in all of me territory again , and , strictly speaking , schneider is no steve martin .

0 slap me , i saw this movie .	
1 miller comes at film with bracing intelligence and a vision both painterly and literary .

0 evelyn may be based on a true and historically significant story , but the filmmakers have made every effort to disguise it as an unimaginative screenwriter 's invention .	
1 consistently clever and suspenseful .	
0 just another combination of bad animation and mindless violence ... lacking the slightest bit of wit or charm .	
1 a fascinating documentary about the long and eventful spiritual journey of the guru who helped launch the new age .	
1 director juan jose campanella could have turned this into an argentine retread of `` iris '' or `` american beauty , '' but instead pulls a little from each film and creates something more beautiful than either of those films .	
0 it 's a bad sign when you 're rooting for the film to hurry up and get to its subjects ' deaths just so the documentary will be over , but it 's indicative of how uncompelling the movie is unless it happens to cover your particular area of interest .	
1 a fresh-faced , big-hearted and frequently funny thrill ride for the kiddies , with enough eye candy and cheeky wit to keep parents away from the concession stand . '	
1 at just over an hour , home movie will leave you wanting more , not to mention leaving you with some laughs and a smile on your face .	
0 a chilly , remote , emotionally distant piece ... so dull that its tagline should be : ` in space , no one can hear you snore . '	
1 directed with purpose and finesse by england 's roger mitchell , who handily makes the move from pleasing , relatively lightweight commercial fare such as notting hill to commercial fare with real thematic heft .	
1 turturro is fabulously funny and over the top as a ` very sneaky ' butler who excels in the art of impossible disappearing\/reappearing acts	
0 godard 's ode to tackling life 's wonderment is a rambling and incoherent manifesto about the vagueness of topical excess ... in praise of love remains a ponderous and pretentious endeavor that 's unfocused and tediously exasperating .

1 a stylish but steady , and ultimately very satisfying , piece of character-driven storytelling .	
1 salma goes native and she 's never been better in this colorful bio-pic of a mexican icon .

0 the pacing is deadly , the narration helps little and naipaul , a juicy writer , is negated .	
1 a pleasant piece of escapist entertainment .

1 a movie of riveting power and sadness .	
0 mr. goyer 's loose , unaccountable direction is technically sophisticated in the worst way .	
0 sheridan is painfully bad , a fourth-rate jim carrey who does n't understand the difference between dumb fun and just plain dumb .	
1 the mark of a respectable summer blockbuster is one of two things : unadulterated thrills or genuine laughs .	
0 so bland and utterly forgettable that it might as well have been titled generic jennifer lopez romantic comedy .	
0 forages for audience sympathy like a temperamental child begging for attention , giving audiences no reason to truly care for its decrepit freaks beyond the promise of a reprieve from their incessant whining .

1 hawn and sarandon form an acting bond that makes the banger sisters a fascinating character study with laughs to spare .

1 the actors are fantastic .

1 a strong script , powerful direction and splendid production design allows us to be transported into the life of wladyslaw szpilman , who is not only a pianist , but a good human being .	
1 for devotees of french cinema , safe conduct is so rich with period minutiae it 's like dying and going to celluloid heaven .
