Unsuccessfully attempts to fathom Kaufman's lunatic sensibilities, supplying scant psychological insight into what made the outrageous comic tick. -

"Run mad whenever you choose, but do not faint," Austen wrote in her early journals. Despite its brazen politics, Mansfield Park never goes giddily amok as promised. -

Along the way, we end up losing patience with our couple-to-be because they seem too smart to endure the indignities ceaselessly heaped on them. -

All of the interviewees are compelling, whether proudly showing off bruises and bullet holes from on-the-job scuffles, or voicing their opinions about how the profession has changed. -

Hits the wall and runs off the rails. They should've stuck to shtick. -

Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love. -
-

Kevin Maynard 60
Its emotional sweep is ultimately undercut by murky characterizations and generic plotting. -

It's a coffee-table movie, but what saves it are a couple of performances.Rowlands puts a spin on every line reading, Harris quietly mines regret, and Shields, assured and sexy, has never been this good. -

Kevin Maynard 60
Beautifully performed and filmed, but tiresomely schematic episodes like this one cause us to experience major sensory deprivation. -

Born Romantic feels less like it was born than assembled, in a kooky Britcom factory. It's no "Four Weddings and a Funeral," but it's certainly a happier conception than last month's "Maybe Baby." -

The real reason to see it is Brian Cox, best known for being filmdom's other Hannibal Lecter (he played the role in Michael Mann's "Manhunter"). -

Makes for compulsive viewing even though its noirish plot doesn't make a lick of sense. -
-

Kevin Maynard 60
The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama. -
-

Too often, the movie is more forced and frantic than actually funny. -

Kevin Maynard 60
An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise." -

Kevin Maynard 60
The rapper-ever-increasingly-turned actor -- is having the time of his life, big pimp styling in a flashy wardrobe as he guts and struts. -

This fictionalized, frequently stomach-churning biography of Australian criminal Mark Chopper Read features the most bloody ear-severing scene since "Reservoir Dogs." -

Simply a pleasant diversion rather the paean to crazy-in-love classics it would so like to be. -

For the most part, it's when the women do the singing -- that Songcatcher really comes alive. -
-

Kevin Maynard 60
Good old-fashioned romantic entertainment, just restrained enough to skirt schmaltz. -
-
-
Kevin Maynard 60
The overlapping dialogue and the comedy of famous people playing self-variations is pure Altman (Leigh, not surprisingly, has worked in three Altman films). -
-

Kevin Maynard 60
If you're looking for refuge from summer movie bombast, it's frequently intoxicating. -

Kevin Maynard 60
Families already know exactly what they're in for, and they're likely to leave the multiplex high on the hum of a charming cast, sunny San Francisco locations, and a suitably happy ending. -
-
-
Kevin Maynard 60
The wrap-up's pretty charming, as are the performances, but the film's too heavy for its soufflé-ready ingredients. -
-

It's the kind of flourish that makes you smile -- that makes you believe in the power of movies. -
