Audiences willing to wade knee deep in the muck and mire of the human abyss are advised to seek out Humanité at the local arthouse. -

Perhaps the most remarkable documentary project ever undertaken, and certainly the longest, is Michael Apted's Up series, which he began shooting for the BBC in 1962. -

Henry Cabot Beck 90
Resonates with the fluorescent horror of real-life high school, something few movies about this generation have managed to successfully capture. -

Henry Cabot Beck 80
A minimum of fuss and a welcome lack of clichés. For these things alone, Tumbleweeds should be not only praised, but seen -

Every bit as reverent as "Schindler's List," and no less successful. -

The design of the film is wonderful, the animation everything one comes to expect from a Disney picture, and the jokes fly by so fast. -

Henry Cabot Beck 80
Unlikely to draw the audience it deserves, but those who do see it will have a hard time shaking its gentle, ghostly echoes. -

Westerners may find the religious aspects wearying and a little fantastic. The Color of Paradise is both parable and fable, a retelling of Isaac and Abraham. -

Henry Cabot Beck 70
By no means any kind of masterpiece, but viewed as one might any number of American or European independents of similar theme and nature, it not only stands its ground, but is at times one or two notches better than many of them. -

Henry Cabot Beck 70
A modest picture with quiet ambitions that is likely to disappear into that lush tropical rainforest where so many films of this sort, some much worse and others much better, have all gone in time. Catch it while you can. -

An absurdist Eastern European version of "The Godfather," starring the Marx Brothers (and sisters and nephews and...). -

A fascinating study. What might surprise audiences, though, is how droll the picture is, how much of the violence is just slapstick, and how much deadpan humor is running throughout the film. -

Boyd would be smart to add a little sound and fury next time around. War is hell, after all. -

Henry Cabot Beck 60
A smart and somber little film with some decent performances and a few sharp observations about function and futility, but I can't help wishing that the picture, like it's characters, had not gone quite so gentle into that good night. -

Henry Cabot Beck 50
A rather flimsy but moderately charming British romance comedy. -
-
-
Henry Cabot Beck 50
Using current hand-held camera technology to ape the political and esthetic sensibility of the 1960s. -

-
Henry Cabot Beck 40
Doesn't have a lot to offer that hasn't been done better -- and worse -- in hundreds of ghetto-sink shoot-em-ups. -

-
Henry Cabot Beck 40
In many ways the indie equivalent of your average multiplex action picture: fun and forgettable. -

Henry Cabot Beck 40
The adherence to specific facts and actual events hampers the film, as it often does biographical movies. -

Henry Cabot Beck 30
It has every element necessary to be a classic, and it never comes anywhere near achieving that potential. -

Henry Cabot Beck 30
A long portrait of someone who outstays his welcome fairly early on. -
