... while the humor aspects of ` jason x ' were far more entertaining than i had expected , everything else about the film tanks .
1
negative
but not without cheesy fun factor .
3
positive
if you ignore the cliches and concentrate on city by the sea 's interpersonal drama , it ai n't half-bad .

tsai ming-liang 's witty , wistful new film , what time is it there ?
3
positive
becomes the last thing you would expect from a film with this title or indeed from any plympton film : boring .
1
negative
heavy with flabby rolls of typical toback machinations .
1
negative
last orders nurtures the multi-layers of its characters , allowing us to remember that life 's ultimately a gamble and last orders are to be embraced .

very positive
the only thing i laughed at were the people who paid to see it .
1
negative
the script , the gags , the characters are all direct-to-video stuff , and that 's where this film should have remained .

on the evidence before us , the answer is clear : not easily and , in the end , not well enough .
1
negative
an awkwardly contrived exercise in magic realism .
1

each scene immediately succumbs to gravity and plummets to earth .

assayas ' ambitious , sometimes beautiful adaptation of jacques chardonne 's novel .
3
positive
nothing but one relentlessly depressing situation after another for its entire running time , something that you could easily be dealing with right now in your lives .
1
negative
the film just might turn on many people to opera , in general , an art form at once visceral and spiritual , wonderfully vulgar and sublimely lofty -- and as emotionally grand as life .
4
very positive
it just does n't have much else ... especially in a moral sense .
2
neutral
a straight-shooting family film which awards animals the respect they 've rarely been given .
4
very positive
... hokey art house pretension .
1
negative
harvard man is a semi-throwback , a reminiscence without nostalgia or sentimentality .
2
neutral
unfortunately the story and the actors are served with a hack script .
1
negative
and there 's the inimitable diaz , holding it all together .
3
positive
told in scattered fashion , the movie only intermittently lives up to the stories and faces and music of the men who are its subject .
1
negative
comes across as a fairly weak retooling .
1
negative
one of the best films of the year with its exquisite acting , inventive screenplay , mesmerizing music , and many inimitable scenes of tenderness , loss , discontent , and yearning .
4
very positive
the big finish is a bit like getting all excited about a chocolate eclair and then biting into it and finding the filling missing .
1
negative
as saccharine movies go , this is likely to cause massive cardiac arrest if taken in large doses .
1
negative
the film was immensely enjoyable thanks to great performances by both steve buscemi and rosario dawson ...
4
very positive
what started out as a taut contest of wills between bacon and theron , deteriorates into a protracted and borderline silly chase sequence .
2
neutral
it 's quite an achievement to set and shoot a movie at the cannes film festival and yet fail to capture its visual appeal or its atmosphere .

very negative
ninety minutes of viva castro !
2
neutral
apparently designed as a reverie about memory and regret , but the only thing you 'll regret is remembering the experience of sitting through it .
1
negative
it never rises to its clever what-if concept .
1
negative
shallow , noisy and pretentious .
0
very negative
demonstrates a vivid imagination and an impressive style that result in some terrific setpieces .
3
positive
not a film for the faint of heart or conservative of spirit , but for the rest of us -- especially san francisco lovers -- it 's a spirited film and a must-see .
3
positive
a somewhat disappointing and meandering saga .
2
neutral
as allen 's execution date closes in , the documentary gives an especially poignant portrait of her friendship with the never flagging legal investigator david presson .
2
neutral
engages us in constant fits of laughter , until we find ourselves surprised at how much we care about the story , and end up walking out not only satisfied but also somewhat touched .
4
very positive
a clever script and skilled actors bring new energy to the familiar topic of office politics .
3
positive
it 's probably worth catching solely on its visual merits .
3
positive
none of this has the suavity or classical familiarity of bond , but much of it is good for a laugh .
2
neutral
an enjoyable feel-good family comedy regardless of race .
3
positive
a handsome but unfulfilling suspense drama more suited to a quiet evening on pbs than a night out at an amc .
1
negative
a fine production with splendid singing by angela gheorghiu , ruggero raimondi , and roberto alagna .
4
very positive
it may scream low budget , but this charmer has a spirit that can not be denied .
3
positive
- style cross-country adventure ... it has sporadic bursts of liveliness , some so-so slapstick and a few ear-pleasing songs on its soundtrack .
3
positive
a polished and vastly entertaining caper film that puts the sting back into the con .
3
positive
do n't wait to see this terrific film with your kids -- if you do n't have kids borrow some .
3
positive
could as easily have been called ` under siege 3 : in alcatraz ' ... a cinematic corpse that never springs to life .
1
negative
cedar somewhat defuses this provocative theme by submerging it in a hoary love triangle .
3
positive
make no mistake , ivans xtc .
2
neutral
is it a comedy ?
1
negative
a thunderous ride at first , quiet cadences of pure finesse are few and far between ; their shortage dilutes the potency of otherwise respectable action .
2
neutral
as is often the case with ambitious , eager first-time filmmakers , mr. murray , a prolific director of music videos , stuffs his debut with more plot than it can comfortably hold .
1
negative
it does n't make for great cinema , but it is interesting to see where one 's imagination will lead when given the opportunity .
1
negative
its and pieces of the hot chick are so hilarious , and schneider 's performance is so fine , it 's a real shame that so much of the movie -- again , as in the animal -- is a slapdash mess .
1
negative
this is sandler running on empty , repeating what he 's already done way too often .
1
negative
the 70-year-old godard has become , to judge from in praise of love , the sort of bitter old crank who sits behind his light meter and harangues the supposed injustices of the artistic world-at-large without doing all that much to correct them .
2
neutral
both exuberantly romantic and serenely melancholy , what time is it there ?
3
positive
director boris von sychowski instead opts for a routine slasher film that was probably more fun to make than it is to sit through .
2
neutral
... a series of tales told with the intricate preciseness of the best short story writing .

i walked away not really know who `` they '' were , what `` they '' looked like .
1
negative
the movie is genial but never inspired , and little about it will stay with you .
1

a technically well-made suspenser ... but its abrupt drop in iq points as it races to the finish line proves simply too discouraging to let slide .

complex , sinuously plotted and , somehow , off-puttingly cold .
1

a lot of the credit for the film 's winning tone must go to grant , who has n't lost a bit of the dry humor that first made audiences on both sides of the atlantic love him .
3

a marvel of production design .
4
very positive
the soupy end result has the odd distinction of being playful without being fun , too .
2
neutral
from the choppy editing to the annoying score to ` special effects ' by way of replacing objects in a character 's hands below the camera line , `` besotted '' is misbegotten

very negative
a welcome relief from baseball movies that try too hard to be mythic , this one is a sweet and modest and ultimately winning story .
3
positive
from both a great and a terrible story , mr. nelson has made a film that is an undeniably worthy and devastating experience .
3
positive
the santa clause 2 is a barely adequate babysitter for older kids , but i 've got to give it thumbs down .

affectionately reminds us that , in any language , the huge stuff in life can usually be traced back to the little things .
3
positive
if the material is slight and admittedly manipulative , jacquot preserves tosca 's intoxicating ardor through his use of the camera .
3
positive
the dramatic crisis does n't always succeed in its quest to be taken seriously , but huppert 's volatile performance makes for a riveting movie experience .
2
neutral
like the tuck family themselves , this movie just goes on and on and on and on

moretti ... is the rare common-man artist who 's wise enough to recognize that there are few things in this world more complex -- and , as it turns out , more fragile -- than happiness .
3
positive
... irritating soul-searching garbage .
0
very negative
the message of such reflections -- intentional or not -- is that while no art grows from a vacuum , many artists exist in one .
2
neutral
the bland outweighs the nifty , and cletis tout never becomes the clever crime comedy it thinks it is .
2
neutral
a humorless journey into a philosophical void .

none of this sounds promising and , indeed , the first half of sorority boys is as appalling as any ` comedy ' to ever spill from a projector 's lens .

you can drive right by it without noticing anything special , save for a few comic turns , intended and otherwise .
