miller tells this very compelling tale with little fuss or noise , expertly plucking tension from quiet .

the wanton slipperiness of \* corpus and its amiable jerking and reshaping of physical time and space would make it a great piece to watch with kids and use to introduce video as art .

the real star of this movie is the score , as in the songs translate well to film , and it 's really well directed .

instead of letting the laughs come as they may , lawrence unleashes his trademark misogyny -- er , comedy -- like a human volcano or an overflowing septic tank , take your pick .

for most of its footage , the new thriller proves that director m. night shyamalan can weave an eerie spell and that mel gibson can gasp , shudder and even tremble without losing his machismo .

very positive
downright transparent is the script 's endless assault of embarrassingly ham-fisted sex jokes that reek of a script rewrite designed to garner the film a `` cooler '' pg-13 rating .
0

the performances are so overstated , the effect comes off as self-parody .

the whole movie is simply a lazy exercise in bad filmmaking that asks you to not only suspend your disbelief but your intelligence as well .

as spent screen series go , star trek : nemesis is even more suggestive of a 65th class reunion mixer where only eight surviving members show up -- and there 's nothing to drink .

very positive
a compelling coming-of-age drama about the arduous journey of a sensitive young girl through a series of foster homes and a fierce struggle to pull free from her dangerous and domineering mother 's hold over her .

positive
lee 's achievement extends to his supple understanding of the role that brown played in american culture as an athlete , a movie star , and an image of black indomitability .
3
positive
it 's definitely an improvement on the first blade , since it does n't take itself so deadly seriously .
3

if you 're paying attention , the `` big twists '' are pretty easy to guess - but that does n't make the movie any less entertaining .

yet this one makes up for in heart what it lacks in outright newness .

the most memorable moment was when green threw medical equipment at a window ; not because it was particularly funny , but because i had a serious urge to grab the old lady at the end of my aisle 's walker and toss it at the screen in frustration .

the premise of `` abandon '' holds promise , ... but its delivery is a complete mess .
1
negative
shyamalan offers copious hints along the way -- myriad signs , if you will -- that beneath the familiar , funny surface is a far bigger , far more meaningful story than one in which little green men come to earth for harvesting purposes .

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 .

the problem with movies about angels is they have a tendency to slip into hokum .
1

lazy filmmaking , with the director taking a hands-off approach when he should have shaped the story to show us why it 's compelling .

like smoke signals , the film is also imbued with strong themes of familial ties and spirituality that are powerful and moving without stooping to base melodrama
3
positive
as with so many merchandised-to-the-max movies of this type , more time appears to have gone into recruiting the right bands for the playlist and the costuming of the stars than into the script , which has a handful of smart jokes and not much else .
1

the film 's images give a backbone to the company and provide an emotional edge to its ultimate demise .

a grating , emaciated flick .
1
negative
it 's plotless , shapeless -- and yet , it must be admitted , not entirely humorless .
1
negative
with a tone as variable as the cinematography , schaeffer 's film never settles into the light-footed enchantment the material needs , and the characters ' quirks and foibles never jell into charm .

hoffman waits too long to turn his movie in an unexpected direction , and even then his tone retains a genteel , prep-school quality that feels dusty and leatherbound .

while cherish does n't completely survive its tonal transformation from dark comedy to suspense thriller , it 's got just enough charm and appealing character quirks to forgive that still serious problem .

graham greene 's novel of colonialism and empire is elevated by michael caine 's performance as a weary journalist in a changing world .

it 's replaced by some dramatic scenes that are jarring and deeply out of place in what could have -lrb- and probably should have -rrb- been a lighthearted comedy .
