if ever such a dependable concept was botched in execution , this is it .

the re-release of ron howard 's apollo 13 in the imax format proves absolutely that really , really , really good things can come in enormous packages .

mostly , shafer and co-writer gregory hinton lack a strong-minded viewpoint , or a sense of humor .

for all its shoot-outs , fistfights , and car chases , this movie is a phlegmatic bore , so tedious it makes the silly spy vs. spy film the sum of all fears , starring ben affleck , seem downright hitchcockian .

tully is in many ways the perfect festival film : a calm , self-assured portrait of small town regret , love , duty and friendship that appeals to the storytelling instincts of a slightly more literate filmgoing audience .

a buoyant romantic comedy about friendship , love , and the truth that we 're all in this together .

the banter between calvin and his fellow barbers feels like a streetwise mclaughlin group ... and never fails to entertain .

after one gets the feeling that the typical hollywood disregard for historical truth and realism is at work here , it 's a matter of finding entertainment in the experiences of zishe and the fiery presence of hanussen .

an energizing , intoxicating documentary charting the rise of hip-hop culture in general and the art of scratching -lrb- or turntablism -rrb- in particular .

a seriously bad film with seriously warped logic by writer-director kurt wimmer at the screenplay level .

after you laugh once -lrb- maybe twice -rrb- , you will have completely forgotten the movie by the time you get back to your car in the parking lot .

a seriously bad film with seriously warped logic by writer-director kurt wimmer at the screenplay level .

with an admirably dark first script by brent hanley , paxton , making his directorial feature debut , does strong , measured work .

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 .

flat , misguided comedy .

chan 's stunts are limited and so embellished by editing that there 's really not much of a sense of action or even action-comedy .

spider-man is about growing strange hairs , getting a more mature body , and finding it necessary to hide new secretions from the parental units .

the wild thornberrys movie is pleasant enough and the message of our close ties with animals can certainly not be emphasized enough .

even better than the first one !

lovingly photographed in the manner of a golden book sprung to life , stuart little 2 manages sweetness largely without stickiness .

even better than the first one !

jackson shamefully strolls through this mess with a smug grin , inexplicably wearing a kilt and carrying a bag of golf clubs over one shoulder .

one can only assume that the jury who bestowed star hoffman 's brother gordy with the waldo salt screenwriting award at 2002 's sundance festival were honoring an attempt to do something different over actually pulling it off

first , for a movie that tries to be smart , it 's kinda dumb .

utter mush ... conceited pap .

even accepting this in the right frame of mind can only provide it with so much leniency .

utter mush ... conceited pap .

-lrb- rises -rrb- above its oh-so-hollywood rejiggering and its conventional direction to give the film a soul and an unabashed sense of good old-fashioned escapism .

i suspect that you 'll be as bored watching morvern callar as the characters are in it .

dull , a road-trip movie that 's surprisingly short of both adventure and song .

i suspect that you 'll be as bored watching morvern callar as the characters are in it .

with an unusual protagonist -lrb- a kilt-wearing jackson -rrb- and subject matter , the improbable `` formula 51 '' is somewhat entertaining , but it could have been much stronger .

this bond film goes off the beaten path , not necessarily for the better .
