Delivers a sucker punch to the audience and then pulls the rug out from under it. It is sensational. It is also grimly funny. -

Potentially oppressive subject matter is redeemed by impeccable moral integrity and stunning artistry. -

He (Aronofsky) has put together a phantasmagoria of self-destructive obsession that is so visually astounding it becomes its own saving grace. Otherwise, we might not be able to bear it. -

This thriller is so expertly -- and perversely -- poised that audience members may find themselves secretly rooting for the duplicitous Ripley. -

The Corruptor' quickly turns into a good bad-cop drama of fascinating moral complexity. -

The audience, too, will be sorry to see this fleeting, beautifully made French film end. -

Has a saccharine quality but also offers a memorable performance by famed Spanish actor Fernando Fernan Gomez. -

Delivers plenty of laughs and succeeds on a level that recent ``SNL'' movies (``It's Pat!'' and ``A Night at the Roxbury'') didn't. -

A quirky character study of the four-man team, led by Sam Neill as the crew leader who seems surrounded by an aura of sadness but is so dedicated that he's not above lying to Houston to buy time when something goes wrong. -

The look of the film is first class, with muted colors but deep textures, the opposite of historical kitsch. -

Has that Dickensian spirit wherein simple acts of kindness can bring an audience close to tears. -

When all's said and done, it turns out to be quite sweet-natured. OK. I laughed. So sue me. -

A comedy of interracial wariness and misunderstanding marked by a refreshing lack of sappiness. -

Isn't vicious. It's just cheerfully mocking as it courses the canyons and flatlands of Los Angeles. -

A surreal comedy about sex that comes as close to charming as Greenaway ever gets. -

This nasty, provocative comedy comes from a play by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. -

But the single most compelling performance may belong to Australian actor Guy Pearce. -

This warm, celebratory and very public film is punctuated by sudden and luminous private visualizations. -

Chunhyang is an extravagantly beautiful movie that many viewers are going to love and others are not going to be able to sit still for. That's their problem. -

It's the kind of unpretentious movie that falls between the cracks, and for a certain kind of audience, the thoughtful kind, it would be a shame to miss. -

What makes it interesting is the story that the viewer must put together, of a model who lives her entire life -- or at least what we see of it -- in front of the camera. -

If this is an example of Australian live-and-let- live, it is very likable. -

Some will say this film is overly ambitious, but what the hell. The man put five years of his life into making this epic mystery. We can surely give it two hours of ours. -

It would be nice to say that Blast From the Past is, but it ain't exactly. Half-blast is more like it. -
