time stands still in more ways that one in clockstoppers , a sci-fi thriller as lazy as it is interminable .

while not quite a comedy , the film tackles its relatively serious subject with an open mind and considerable good cheer , and is never less than engaging .
2
neutral
what the audience feels is exhaustion , from watching a movie that is dark -lrb- dark green , to be exact -rrb- , sour , bloody and mean .
1
negative
mr. polanski is in his element here : alone , abandoned , but still consoled by his art , which is more than he has ever revealed before about the source of his spiritual survival .

a devastating indictment of unbridled greed and materalism .

it feels like very light errol morris , focusing on eccentricity but failing , ultimately , to make something bigger out of its scrapbook of oddballs .
1
negative
it 's full of cheesy dialogue , but great trashy fun that finally returns de palma to his pulpy thrillers of the early '80s .

very positive
formuliac , but fun .

positive
there 's some good material in their story about a retail clerk wanting more out of life , but the movie too often spins its wheels with familiar situations and repetitive scenes .

1
negative
... a light , yet engrossing piece .
3
positive
really quite funny .
4
very positive
it 's a tour de force , written and directed so quietly that it 's implosion rather than explosion you fear .
2
neutral
pretty much sucks , but has a funny moment or two .
1
negative
though it was made with careful attention to detail and is well-acted by james spader and maggie gyllenhaal , i felt disrespected .

the actors improvise and scream their way around this movie directionless , lacking any of the rollicking dark humor so necessary to make this kind of idea work on screen .

the off-center humor is a constant , and the ensemble gives it a buoyant delivery .
3
positive
nearly all the fundamentals you take for granted in most films are mishandled here .
1
negative
an eye-boggling blend of psychedelic devices , special effects and backgrounds , ` spy kids 2 ' is a visual treat for all audiences .

3
positive
kaufman 's script is never especially clever and often is rather pretentious .
1
negative
for a film that celebrates radical , nonconformist values , what to do in case of fire ?
2
neutral
it celebrates the group 's playful spark of nonconformity , glancing vividly back at what hibiscus grandly called his ` angels of light . '
3
positive
like coming into a long-running , well-written television series where you 've missed the first half-dozen episodes and probably wo n't see the next six .
1
negative
its flame-like , roiling black-and-white inspires trembling and gratitude .
3
positive
although it includes a fair share of dumb drug jokes and predictable slapstick , `` orange county '' is far funnier than it would seem to have any right to be .
3
positive
-lrb- the film -rrb- tackles the topic of relationships in such a straightforward , emotionally honest manner that by the end , it 's impossible to ascertain whether the film is , at its core , deeply pessimistic or quietly hopeful .

i ca n't .
2
neutral
with mcconaughey in an entirely irony-free zone and bale reduced mainly to batting his sensitive eyelids , there 's not enough intelligence , wit or innovation on the screen to attract and sustain an older crowd .
1
negative
saved from being merely way-cool by a basic , credible compassion .
2
neutral
a vivid , spicy footnote to history , and a movie that grips and holds you in rapt attention from start to finish .

positive
... an eerily suspenseful , deeply absorbing piece that works as a treatise on spirituality as well as a solid sci-fi thriller .
4
very positive
despite juliet stevenon 's attempt to bring cohesion to pamela 's emotional roller coaster life , it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs .
1
negative
this film is an act of spiritual faith -- an eloquent , deeply felt meditation on the nature of compassion .
3
positive
... a trashy little bit of fluff stuffed with enjoyable performances and a bewildering sense of self-importance
2
neutral
it all plays out ... like a high-end john hughes comedy , a kind of elder bueller 's time out .
3
positive
what with all the blanket statements and dime-store ruminations on vanity , the worries of the rich and sudden wisdom , the film becomes a sermon for most of its running time .
1
negative
wildly incompetent but brilliantly named half past dead -- or for seagal pessimists : totally past his prime .

negative
those eternally devoted to the insanity of black will have an intermittently good time .

just as the lousy tarantino imitations have subsided , here comes the first lousy guy ritchie imitation .

the direction has a fluid , no-nonsense authority , and the performances by harris , phifer and cam ` ron seal the deal .
3
positive
a film that will enthrall the whole family .
3
positive
it just does n't have anything really interesting to say .
1
negative
much of the lady and the duke is about quiet , decisive moments between members of the cultural elite as they determine how to proceed as the world implodes .

positive
while you have to admit it 's semi-amusing to watch robert deniro belt out `` when you 're a jet , you 're a jet all the way , '' it 's equally distasteful to watch him sing the lyrics to `` tonight . ''

negative
a quaint , romanticized rendering .
3
positive
filmmakers david weissman and bill weber benefit enormously from the cockettes ' camera craziness -- not only did they film performances , but they did the same at home .

a little too ponderous to work as shallow entertainment , not remotely incisive enough to qualify as drama , monsoon wedding serves mostly to whet one 's appetite for the bollywood films .

a movie that the less charitable might describe as a castrated cross between highlander and lolita .
1
negative
seagal , who looks more like danny aiello these days , mumbles his way through the movie .

very positive
sandra bullock and hugh grant make a great team , but this predictable romantic comedy should get a pink slip .
1
negative
it 's all stitched together with energy , intelligence and verve , enhanced by a surplus of vintage archive footage .
4
very positive
so muddled , repetitive and ragged that it says far less about the horrifying historical reality than about the filmmaker 's characteristic style .
0
very negative
a faster paced family flick .
3
positive
`` analyze that '' is one of those crass , contrived sequels that not only fails on its own , but makes you second-guess your affection for the original .
0
very negative
fairy-tale formula , serves as a paper skeleton for some very good acting , dialogue , comedy , direction and especially charm .
