There's something refreshingly and truly girlish about the picture's musings and epiphanies that makes its R rating baffling. -

It's creepy, but it's not horrifying. Still, the movie has its distorted, haunting moments that will stick with you, and it's stunning to look at. -

Finding Forrester achieves a distinct success few Hollywood movies can even dream of: It overwhelms and inspires with understatement. -

Really a vehicle for Dunst, which would be fine if only the vehicle were more inspired. -

The "Citizen Kane" of rat movies makes for a terrific overhaul in this wonderfully entertaining and, yes, touching take on that terribly confused man/child named Willard. -

Utterly thrilling and enthralling, a commercial film that paces itself wonderfully, never allowing the action or romance to outweigh its story and characters. For mainstream adventure fare, that's quite an accomplishment. -

A spare, internally emotional movie like One requires something called screen presence. Its two leads have it. -

Kim Morgan 83
Works like a funnier "Austin Powers" -- you laugh just enough to want to see the whole thing again. -

Blue Crush, which might appear exciting in an "Endless Summer"/"Where the Boys Are" kind of way, actually is really boring. -

It's a stylish work, seeping with brilliant animation and potentially interesting characters that didn't need so much time to establish themselves. It's worthwhile, but it's a good thing there's a television show to refer to. -

Kim Morgan 91
Beautifully acted, the film is touchingly human and, thankfully, devoid of any vapid, ironic kitsch. -

Though moving, Together needed more opera to send us where great music frequently goes -- nearly over the edge. -

This is a beautiful, moving picture about a love affair between two very different Chinese men. -

It's an interesting effort (particularly for JFK conspiracy nuts), and Barry's cold-fish act makes the experience worthwhile. -

Really, we'd rather just watch a good documentary about the subject. And as the camera flings around, we occasionally forget about what could help the teens and think more about what could help the director: How about a tripod? -

Entertaining, well-acted and hopeful about a world in which sexual orientation isn't a big deal, Big Eden is a pretty picture -- it just tends to be a little too perfect and cute for its own good. -

It's fun, albeit a little messy, under the frequently punchy direction of Peter Berg. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
It works for the most part, though some scenes come off contrived or directed without flavor. But thanks to the likable, rough-hewn crew and Forster, the film flows along gruffly and with eloquence. -

Kim Morgan 75
Delivers the oft-trod subject of boys' sexuality with intelligence and freshness. -

Kim Morgan 75
Understands that extreme feelings bring out weird reactions. Tension and sadness will occasionally be interrupted by humor -- even slapstick. -

Alas, the movie just isn't bouncy, fresh or funny enough. It's just not blonde enough. -
