if jews were catholics , this would be catechism	0
a gorgeous , high-spirited musical from india that exquisitely blends music , dance , song , and high drama .	1
an utterly compelling 'who wrote it ' in which the reputation of the most famous author who ever lived comes into question .	1
about as big a crowdpleaser as they possibly come .	1
the cumulative effect of the movie is repulsive and depressing .	0
it 's not so much a movie as a joint promotion for the national basketball association and teenaged rap and adolescent poster-boy lil ' bow wow .	0
wins my vote for 'the 2002 enemy of cinema ' award .	0
a smart , provocative drama that does the nearly impossible : it gets under the skin of a man we only know as an evil , monstrous lunatic .	1
the idea of 49-year-old roberto benigni playing the wooden boy pinocchio is scary enough . the reality of the new live-action pinocchio he directed , cowrote and starred in borders on the grotesque .	0
some of the computer animation is handsome , and various amusing sidekicks add much-needed levity to the otherwise bleak tale , but overall the film never rises above mediocrity .	0
the picture runs a mere 84 minutes , but it 's no glance . it 's a head-turner -- thoughtfully written , beautifully read and , finally , deeply humanizing .	1
despite an impressive roster of stars and direction from kathryn bigelow , the weight of water is oppressively heavy .	0
highly recommended as an engrossing story about a horrifying historical event and the elements which contributed to it .	1
if i spy were funny ( enough ) or exciting ( enough ) then it would be fairly simple to forgive the financial extortion it 's trying to reap from the moviegoing public .	0
it 's a smartly directed , grown-up film of ideas .	1
a fun ride .	1
empire ca n't make up its mind whether it wants to be a gangster flick or an art film . it does n't work as either .	0
the story ultimately takes hold and grips hard .	1
the concept is a hoot . the trailer is a riot . the movie is a dud .	0
it 's an earnest debut full of heartfelt performances , but is ultimately let down by a story that is all too predictable .	0
thoughtful , provocative and entertaining .	1
katz uses archival footage , horrifying documents of lynchings , still photographs and charming old reel-to-reel recordings of meeropol entertaining his children to create his song history , but most powerful of all is the song itself	1
all that ( powerpuff girls ) charm is present in the movie , but it 's spread too thin .	0
this tuxedo . . . should have been sent back to the tailor for some major alterations .	0
the two leads are almost good enough to camouflage the dopey plot , but so much naturalistic small talk , delivered in almost muffled exchanges , eventually has a lulling effect .	0
lan yu is certainly a serviceable melodrama , but it does n't even try for the greatness that happy together shoots for ( and misses ) .	0
every visual joke is milked , every set-up obvious and lengthy , every punchline predictable . there 's no energy .	0
propelled not by characters but by caricatures .	0
an offbeat , sometimes gross and surprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays .	1
a winning and wildly fascinating work .	1
for the most part , it 's a work of incendiary genius , steering clear of knee-jerk reactions and quick solutions .	1
if this holiday movie is supposed to be a gift , somebody unwrapped it early , took out all the good stuff , and left behind the crap ( literally ) .	0
[ dong ] makes a valiant effort to understand everyone 's point of view , and he does such a good job of it that family fundamentals gets you riled up .	1
the film runs on a little longer than it needs to -- muccino either does n't notice when his story ends or just ca n't tear himself away from the characters -- but it 's smooth and professional .	1
a wonderfully speculative character study that made up for its rather slow beginning by drawing me into the picture .	1
the filmmakers try to balance pointed , often incisive satire and unabashed sweetness , with results that are sometimes bracing , sometimes baffling and quite often , and in unexpected ways , touching .	1
the problem is that rather than dramatizing this premise , mr . desplechin is content to state it .	0
a wonderful , ghastly film .	1
with its lackadaisical plotting and mindless action , all about the benjamins evokes the bottom tier of blaxploitation flicks from the 1970s .	0
. . . a weak , manipulative , pencil-thin story that is miraculously able to entertain anyway .	1
'dragonfly ' is a movie about a bus wreck that turns into a film wreck .	0
the film does n't show enough of the creative process or even of what was created for the non-fan to figure out what makes wilco a big deal .	0
an exhilarating futuristic thriller-noir , minority report twists the best of technology around a gripping story , delivering a riveting , pulse intensifying escapist adventure of the first order	1
phillip noyce and all of his actors -- as well as his cinematographer , christopher doyle -- understand the delicate forcefulness of greene 's prose , and it 's there on the screen in their version of the quiet american .	1
terminally brain dead production .	0
as lo-fi as the special effects are , the folks who cobbled nemesis together indulge the force of humanity over hardware in a way that george lucas has long forgotten .	1
adam sandler is to gary cooper what a gnat is to a racehorse .	0
everything about the quiet american is good , except its timing .	1
uneasy mishmash of styles and genres .	0
call it magic realism or surrealism , but miss wonton floats beyond reality with a certain degree of wit and dignity .	1
a playful iranian parable about openness , particularly the need for people of diverse political perspectives to get along despite their ideological differences .	1
though it is by no means his best work , laissez-passer is a distinguished and distinctive effort by a bona-fide master , a fascinating film replete with rewards to be had by all willing to make the effort to reap them .	1
as janice , eileen walsh , an engaging , wide-eyed actress whose teeth are a little too big for her mouth , infuses the movie with much of its slender , glinting charm .	1
uneven performances and a spotty script add up to a biting satire that has no teeth .	0
by halfway through this picture i was beginning to hate it , and , of course , feeling guilty for it . . . . then , miracle of miracles , the movie does a flip-flop .	0
both awful and appealing .	0
an engrossing portrait of a man whose engaging manner and flamboyant style made him a truly larger-than-life character .	1
not since tom cruise in risky business has an actor made such a strong impression in his underwear .	1
this is what imax was made for : strap on a pair of 3-d goggles , shut out the real world , and take a vicarious voyage to the last frontier -- space .	1
irwin is so earnest that it 's hard to resist his pleas to spare wildlife and respect their environs . there are far worse messages to teach a young audience , which will probably be perfectly happy with the sloppy slapstick comedy .	1
. . . a gleefully grungy , hilariously wicked black comedy . . .	1
sharp edges and a deep vein of sadness run through its otherwise comic narrative .	1
a slight and obvious effort , even for one whose target demographic is likely still in the single digits , age-wise .	0
had the film boasted a clearer , more memorable , the creepiness would have gotten under the skin .	0
the troubling thing about clockstoppers is that it does n't make any sense .	0
not since japanese filmmaker akira kurosawa 's ran have the savagery of combat and the specter of death been visualized with such operatic grandeur .	1
twist open the ouzo ! it 's time to let your hair down greek style . a vibrant whirlwind of love , family and all that goes with it , my big fat greek wedding is a non-stop funny feast of warmth , colour and cringe .	1
though it draws several decent laughs , it 's low-cal woody at best .	0
a standard haunted house tale transplanted to the high seas .	0
the mesmerizing performances of the leads keep the film grounded and keep the audience riveted .	1
a reality-snubbing hodgepodge .	0
makes for some truly odd , at times confusing , kids entertainment . . . but at least this time there 's some centered storytelling to go along with all the weird stuff .	0
the action clichM-is just pile up .	0
a worthy idea , but the uninspired scripts , acting and direction never rise above the level of an after-school tv special .	0
sinks into the usual cafeteria goulash of fart jokes , masturbation jokes , and racist japanese jokes .	0
manages to transcend the sex , drugs and show-tunes plot into something far richer .	1
a generic international version of a typical american horror film .	0
