    • Metascore: 94
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    This film is a miracle, an extravaganza equal to its predecessors and in some ways more stunning. It is a profound testament to the extraordinary power of moving images and sound.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    It's best appraised as a strong ensemble piece, a darkly dreamy slab of social commentary and definitely one of the year's best films.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    This is the breakout role for Sigourney (née Susan) Weaver, whose iconic presence still propels this ride beyond the scores of substandard imitations that followed. Why see it on the big screen? Because it's bloody brilliant.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    A masterful film about the magic of performance and the foibles of the artists behind it.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    In this bolder, longer new cut, characters are allowed to finish scenes previously left as DVD extras, effects are creepier, and the theories of "the Tangent Universe" are explored in greater depth. Friends and neighbors, this is a Great American Movie.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    One of this year's best films--a classic, even, like a C.S. Forester "Hornblower" story on steroids.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    Smart people will relish its temerariousness, average people will smile awkwardly and comment that it's "kinda different," and dimly lit people may mistake it for the Elmo movie and drool quietly in the back rows. It's a movie for everyone.
    • Metascore: 96
    • Gregory Weinkauf 100
    Kubrick's comic gem sparkles with enduring relevance.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Funny, sad, moving and, above all, astute, making I Capture the Castle a fabulous film. Even the cars are tasty.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    A big gob of fun.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    A diverting mix of insight and spectacle, human and superhuman. This machine is built for kids, but rarely do words like "noble," "Hollywood" and "rawkin'" all apply to one movie.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Amazingly, almost every note of every performance in Bloody Sunday rings true.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Gleefully blurs the line between species. Vive la révolution!
    • Metascore: 71
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    This may sound an eensy bit hyperbolic, but dig: Mayor of the Sunset Strip is the greatest rock-and-roll movie of all time.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    This is a powerhouse of a film, but not for the obvious reasons that it's about a female serial killer, scampering lesbians and whatever. The project's strength instead emerges from a sense of nobility and purpose in honoring its characters.
    • Metascore: 94
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    This astonishingly gritty film maintains its strong niche between Roberto Rossellini's "Open City" and Paul Greengrass' "Bloody Sunday" as a pinnacle of war-torn neo-realist drama.
    • Metascore: 64
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Fry establishes himself as an inspired, world-class talent behind the camera and delivers my favorite film of the year thus far.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    This is a brilliant and unpretentious movie to raise the bar for contemporary popular entertainment, designed for the upper-tier thinkers at the multiplex.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Finally, the man (Hanks) has delivered a moving, slightly unhappy, and ultimately hopeful story in which squishy love takes a backseat to the wondrous whirlwind of life. The season's most delightful surprise.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    An animated extravaganza of Gallic wit and soul that delivers more wild humanity than many of the year's live-action features. In a word: go.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    This roaring crowd-pleaser also boasts hilarious bits of business, insightful observations into the human condition, and geysers of kitschy computer-generated blood.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    It's definitely an enchanting spectacular for Potter fans anxious to ride the Hogwarts Express toward a new year of magic and mischief.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    Provides a smart, insightful prologue to the career of the man who continues to inspire countless people around the world.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Gregory Weinkauf 90
    The year's greatest adventure, and Jackson's limited but enthusiastic adaptation has made literature literal without killing its soul.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    Tamahori pumps a tremendous amount of energy into his Bond movie, and it's an electrifying ride.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    Braugher does much to hold this show together, because without him, the reality gets muddled. He's a terrific balancing agent for both Caviezel and Quaid; kudos to casting.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    Philosophy imbues this inescapably self-reflexive movie with a rare compassion.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    Deftly delivered and free of gratuitous gloss, yet enormously rich in its unassuming manner.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    An adaptation that can rightfully be called brilliant.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Gregory Weinkauf 80
    His (Pawlikowski) love story, which is by turns sensuous, charming, and uniquely moving.
