the 3-d vistas from orbit , with the space station suspended like a huge set of wind chimes over the great blue globe , are stanzas of breathtaking , awe-inspiring visual poetry .

cacoyannis ' vision is far less mature , interpreting the play as a call for pity and sympathy for anachronistic phantasms haunting the imagined glory of their own pasts .

0
negative
there is a general air of exuberance in all about the benjamins that 's hard to resist .
1
positive
plays like one of those conversations that comic book guy on `` the simpsons '' has .
0
negative
dong never pushes for insights beyond the superficial tensions of the dynamic he 's dissecting , and the film settles too easily along the contours of expectation .

negative
this charming but slight tale has warmth , wit and interesting characters compassionately portrayed .

the movie slides downhill as soon as macho action conventions assert themselves .
0

they were afraid to show this movie to reviewers before its opening , afraid of the bad reviews they thought they 'd earn .
0
negative
especially give credit to affleck .
1
positive
a fragile framework upon which to hang broad , mildly fleshed-out characters that seem to have been conjured up only 10 minutes prior to filming .
0
negative
and it marks him as one of the most interesting writer\/directors working today .
1
positive
this picture is murder by numbers , and as easy to be bored by as your abc 's , despite a few whopping shootouts .
0

though jones and snipes are enthralling , the movie bogs down in rhetoric and cliché .
0
negative
according to wendigo , ` nature ' loves the members of the upper class almost as much as they love themselves .
1

even a hardened voyeur would require the patience of job to get through this interminable , shapeless documentary about the swinging subculture .
0
negative
it is refreshingly undogmatic about its characters .
1
positive
a gratingly unfunny groaner littered with zero-dimensional , unlikable characters and hackneyed , threadbare comic setups .
0
negative
a vibrant , colorful , semimusical rendition .
1

while the story does seem pretty unbelievable at times , it 's awfully entertaining to watch .
1
positive
at a time when we 've learned the hard way just how complex international terrorism is , collateral damage paints an absurdly simplistic picture .
0
negative
upper west sidey exercise in narcissism and self-congratulation disguised as a tribute .
0
negative
as a kind of colorful , dramatized pbs program , frida gets the job done .
1
positive
an uneven look into a grim future that does n't come close to the level of intelligence and visual splendour that can be seen in other films based on philip k. dick stories .
0
negative
-lrb- shyamalan -rrb- turns the goose-pimple genre on its empty head and fills it with spirit , purpose and emotionally bruised characters who add up to more than body count .
1
positive
totally overwrought , deeply biased , and wholly designed to make you feel guilty about ignoring what the filmmakers clearly believe are the greatest musicians of all time .
0
negative

the movie 's seams may show ... but pellington gives `` mothman '' an irresistibly uncanny ambience that goes a long way toward keeping the picture compelling .
1
positive
macdowell ... gives give a solid , anguished performance that eclipses nearly everything else she 's ever done .

the sight of the spaceship on the launching pad is duly impressive in imax dimensions , as are shots of the astronauts floating in their cabins .
1
positive
the unique niche of self-critical , behind-the-scenes navel-gazing kaufman has carved from orleans ' story and his own infinite insecurity is a work of outstanding originality .
1
positive
the stunt work is top-notch ; the dialogue and drama often food-spittingly funny .
1
positive
lucas has in fact come closer than anyone could desire to the cheap , graceless , hackneyed sci-fi serials of the '30s and '40s .
0
negative
a fine effort , an interesting topic , some intriguing characters and a sad ending .

everything about the quiet american is good , except its timing .

it 's a smartly directed , grown-up film of ideas .
1
positive
the bourne identity should n't be half as entertaining as it is , but director doug liman and his colleagues have managed to pack it with enough action to satisfy the boom-bam crowd without a huge sacrifice of character and mood .

once he starts learning to compromise with reality enough to become comparatively sane and healthy , the film becomes predictably conventional .
0
negative
a touching , small-scale story of family responsibility and care in the community .
1
positive
the gifted crudup has the perfect face to play a handsome blank yearning to find himself , and his cipherlike personality and bad behavior would play fine if the movie knew what to do with him .
0

an artsploitation movie with too much exploitation and too little art .
0
negative
unless you 're a fanatic , the best advice is : ` scooby ' do n't .

nicole kidman evolved from star to superstar some time over the past year , which means that birthday girl is the kind of quirkily appealing minor movie she might not make for a while .

secret ballot is a funny , puzzling movie ambiguous enough to be engaging and oddly moving .
1
positive
a visionary marvel , but it 's lacking a depth in storytelling usually found in anime like this .

negative
nair just does n't have the necessary self-control to guide a loose , poorly structured film through the pitfalls of incoherence and redundancy .
0
negative
one of the most slyly exquisite anti-adult movies ever made .
1
positive
this low-rent -- and even lower-wit -- rip-off of the farrelly brothers ' oeuvre gets way too mushy -- and in a relatively short amount of time .
0
negative
happily stays close to the ground in a spare and simple manner and does n't pummel us with phony imagery or music .
1

whatever one makes of its political edge , this is beautiful filmmaking from one of french cinema 's master craftsmen .

jagger , stoppard and director michael apted ... deliver a riveting and surprisingly romantic ride .
1
positive
banal and predictable .

takes a clunky tv-movie approach to detailing a chapter in the life of the celebrated irish playwright , poet and drinker .
0
negative
the trashy teen-sleaze equivalent of showgirls .
0
negative
best of all is garcia , who perfectly portrays the desperation of a very insecure man .
1
positive
it does n't flinch from its unsettling prognosis , namely , that the legacy of war is a kind of perpetual pain .
0
negative
scooby-doo does n't know if it wants to be a retro-refitting exercise in campy recall for older fans or a silly , nickelodeon-esque kiddie flick .
0
negative
a dramatic comedy as pleasantly dishonest and pat as any hollywood fluff .
0
negative
unfunny and lacking any sense of commitment to or affection for its characters , the reginald hudlin comedy relies on toilet humor , ethnic slurs .

negative
`` the best disney movie since the lion king ''
1
positive
best indie of the year , so far .

0
negative
it jumps around with little logic or continuity , presenting backstage bytes of information that never amount to a satisfying complete picture of this particular , anciently demanding métier .
