neutral
strange , funny , twisted , brilliant and macabre .

very positive
shanghai ghetto , much stranger than any fiction , brings this unknown slice of history affectingly to life .
3
positive
a movie that will thrill you , touch you and make you laugh as well .
3
positive
though overall an overwhelmingly positive portrayal , the film does n't ignore the more problematic aspects of brown 's life .
3
positive
the film is so busy making reference to other films and trying to be other films that it fails to have a heart , mind or humor of its own .

very negative
cool gadgets and creatures keep this fresh .
4
very positive
this is very much of a mixed bag , with enough negatives to outweigh the positives .
1
negative
ringu is a disaster of a story , full of holes and completely lacking in chills .

very negative
while maintaining the appearance of clinical objectivity , this sad , occasionally horrifying but often inspiring film is among wiseman 's warmest .
4
very positive
but it would be better to wait for the video .
1
negative
dreary tale of middle-class angst
1
negative
though the aboriginal aspect lends the ending an extraordinary poignancy , and the story itself could be played out in any working class community in the nation .
3
positive
the byplay and bickering between the now spy-savvy siblings , carmen -lrb- vega -rrb- and juni -lrb- sabara -rrb- cortez , anchor the film in a very real and amusing give-and-take .
4
very positive
it 's sweet , funny , charming , and completely delightful .
4
very positive
seen in that light , moonlight mile should strike a nerve in many .
3
positive
to the filmmakers , ivan is a prince of a fellow , but he comes across as shallow and glib though not mean-spirited , and there 's no indication that he 's been responsible for putting together any movies of particular value or merit .
1
negative
the movie 's something-borrowed construction feels less the product of loving , well integrated homage and more like a mere excuse for the wan , thinly sketched story .
1
negative
none of birthday girl 's calculated events take us by surprise ...
1
negative
there are many definitions of ` time waster ' but this movie must surely be one of them .

i can easily imagine benigni 's pinocchio becoming a christmas perennial .
4

this is rote drivel aimed at mom and dad 's wallet .
1

k 19 stays afloat as decent drama\/action flick
3

it 's quite diverting nonsense .
1
negative
aggravating and tedious .

i 'm sorry to say that this should seal the deal - arnold is not , nor will he be , back .
1
negative
a bittersweet drama about the limbo of grief and how truth-telling can open the door to liberation .
3
positive
formula 51 has dulled your senses faster and deeper than any recreational drug on the market .
2
neutral
more precious than perspicacious
3
positive
kurys never shows why , of all the period 's volatile romantic lives , sand and musset are worth particular attention .
2
neutral
rarely does such high-profile talent serve such literate material .
3
positive
a moving picture that does not move .
1
negative
this ludicrous film is predictable at every turn .
0
very negative
just another combination of bad animation and mindless violence ... lacking the slightest bit of wit or charm .
0
very negative
-lrb- fiji diver rusi vulakoro and the married couple howard and michelle hall -rrb- show us the world they love and make us love it , too .
4
very positive
were it not for a sentimental resolution that explains way more about cal than does the movie or the character any good , freundlich 's world traveler might have been one of the more daring and surprising american movies of the year .
2
neutral
a fanciful drama about napoleon 's last years and his surprising discovery of love and humility .
4
very positive
the superior plotline is n't quite enough to drag along the dead -lrb- water -rrb- weight of the other .
1
negative
... enthusiastically invokes the percussion rhythm , the brass soul and the sense of fierce competition that helps make great marching bands half the fun of college football games .
3
positive
spy kids 2 also happens to be that rarity among sequels : it actually improves upon the original hit movie .
4
very positive
speaks eloquently about the symbiotic relationship between art and life .
4
very positive
benigni 's pinocchio is extremely straight and mind-numbingly stilted , its episodic pacing keeping the film from developing any storytelling flow .
2
neutral
audiard successfully maintains suspense on different levels throughout a film that is both gripping and compelling .
4
very positive
an unsettling , memorable cinematic experience that does its predecessors proud .
4
very positive
its almost too-spectacular coastal setting distracts slightly from an eccentric and good-naturedly aimless story .
3
positive
a compassionate , moving portrait of an american -lrb- and an america -rrb- always reaching for something just outside his grasp .
4
very positive
-lrb- stephen -rrb- earnhart 's film is more about the optimism of a group of people who are struggling to give themselves a better lot in life than the ones they currently have .
3
positive
adaptation is intricately constructed and in a strange way nails all of orlean 's themes without being a true adaptation of her book .
3
positive
if you want a movie time trip , the 1960 version is a far smoother ride .
1
negative
an older cad instructs a younger lad in zen and the art of getting laid in this prickly indie comedy of manners and misanthropy .
3
positive
director-chef gabriele muccino keeps it fast -- zippy , comin ' at ya -- as if fearing that his film is molto superficiale .
2
neutral
with amazing finesse , the film shadows heidi 's trip back to vietnam and the city where her mother , mai thi kim , still lives .
3
positive
an occasionally interesting but mostly repetitive look at a slice of counterculture that might be best forgotten .
1
negative
does what should seem impossible : it makes serial killer jeffrey dahmer boring .
2
neutral
it 's an 88-minute highlight reel that 's 86 minutes too long .
0
very negative
a respectable but uninspired thriller that 's intelligent and considered in its details , but ultimately weak in its impact .
2
neutral
-lrb- jeff 's -rrb- gorgeous , fluid compositions , underlined by neil finn and edmund mcwilliams 's melancholy music , are charged with metaphor , but rarely easy , obvious or self-indulgent .
3
positive
one of the pleasures in walter 's documentary ... is the parade of veteran painters , confounded dealers , and miscellaneous bohos who expound upon the subject 's mysterious personality without ever explaining him .
2
neutral
it 's a smart , solid , kinetically-charged spy flick worthy of a couple hours of summertime and a bucket of popcorn .
4
very positive
a violent initiation rite for the audience , as much as it is for angelique , the -lrb- opening -rrb- dance guarantees karmen 's enthronement among the cinema 's memorable women .
2
neutral
the film is predictable in the reassuring manner of a beautifully sung holiday carol .
3
positive
the heat of the moment prevails .
3
positive
a beautifully tooled action thriller about love and terrorism in korea .
4
very positive
return to never land is much more p.c. than the original version -lrb- no more racist portraits of indians , for instance -rrb- , but the excitement is missing .
1
negative
the sight of the name bruce willis brings to mind images of a violent battlefield action picture , but the film has a lot more on its mind -- maybe too much .
2
neutral
the only thing `` swept away '' is the one hour and thirty-three minutes spent watching this waste of time .
0
very negative
the banter between calvin and his fellow barbers feels like a streetwise mclaughlin group ... and never fails to entertain .
3
positive
while the importance of being earnest offers opportunities for occasional smiles and chuckles , it does n't give us a reason to be in the theater beyond wilde 's wit and the actors ' performances .
1
negative
indeed , none of these words really gets at the very special type of badness that is deuces wild .
2
neutral
contrived , awkward and filled with unintended laughs , the film shows signs that someone other than the director got into the editing room and tried to improve things by making the movie go faster .
0
very negative
amid the cliché and foreshadowing , cage manages a degree of casual realism ... that is routinely dynamited by blethyn .
2
neutral
broomfield reminds us that beneath the hype , the celebrity , the high life , the conspiracies and the mystery there were once a couple of bright young men -- promising , talented , charismatic and tragically doomed .
3
positive
offers a persuasive look at a defeated but defiant nation in flux .
3
positive
jolting into charleston rhythms , the story has the sizzle of old news that has finally found the right vent -lrb- accurate ?
2
neutral
muccino seems to be exploring the idea of why human beings long for what they do n't have , and how this gets us in trouble .
3
positive
this picture is mostly a lump of run-of-the-mill profanity sprinkled with a few remarks so geared toward engendering audience sympathy that you might think he was running for office -- or trying to win over a probation officer .
1
negative
my wife is an actress has its moments in looking at the comic effects of jealousy .
4
very positive
a riveting documentary .
4
very positive
while i ca n't say it 's on par with the first one , stuart little 2 is a light , fun cheese puff of a movie .
3
positive
so boring that even its target audience talked all the way through it .
0
very negative
sad to say -- it accurately reflects the rage and alienation that fuels the self-destructiveness of many young people .
3
positive
it 's neither as sappy as big daddy nor as anarchic as happy gilmore or the waterboy , but it has its moments .
3
positive
great character interaction .
4
very positive
louiso lets the movie dawdle in classic disaffected-indie-film mode , and brother hoffman 's script stumbles over a late-inning twist that just does n't make sense .
1
negative
even bigger and more ambitious than the first installment , spy kids 2 looks as if it were made by a highly gifted 12-year-old instead of a grown man .
1
negative
a meatier deeper beginning and\/or ending would have easily tipped this film into the `` a '' range , as is , it 's a very very strong `` b + . ''
3
positive
twist open the ouzo !
2
neutral
the biggest problem with this movie is that it 's not nearly long enough .
2
neutral
funny in a sick , twisted sort of way .
3
positive
trapped wo n't score points for political correctness , but it may cause parents a few sleepless hours -- a sign of its effectiveness .
3
positive
nicks refuses to let slackers be seen as just another teen movie , which means he can be forgiven for frequently pandering to fans of the gross-out comedy .
3
positive
but though he only scratches the surface , at least he provides a strong itch to explore more .
3
positive
it 's dark and tragic , and lets the business of the greedy talent agents get in the way of saying something meaningful about facing death
2
neutral
there are few things more frustrating to a film buff than seeing an otherwise good movie marred beyond redemption by a disastrous ending .
1
negative
the film lapses too often into sugary sentiment and withholds delivery on the pell-mell pyrotechnics its punchy style promises .
1
negative
the rock has a great presence but one battle after another is not the same as one battle followed by killer cgi effects .
2
neutral
birthday girl walks a tricky tightrope between being wickedly funny and just plain wicked .
4
very positive
potty-mouthed enough for pg-13 , yet not as hilariously raunchy as south park , this strangely schizo cartoon seems suited neither to kids or adults .
1
negative
does n't add up to much .
