It's not afraid to be funny, tragic and decidedly female. -

-
Kim Morgan 75
You may strain to recall just what happened an hour after you see it, but there are so many worse things to have to remember in life. It's a relief to focus on something so attractively amusing. -

-
Kim Morgan 75
In its own slightly disturbing way, this psychological thriller serves as an absorbing diversion without sapping brain cells -- almost the perfect summer movie for smart people. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
Stays engaging, chiefly, through the textured, ambiguous performances of Spacey, Moore and Dench. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
Has many puff-piece moments to it and barely touches the controversy surrounding Tupac's death or that of rival hip-hop impresario Biggie Smalls. But it's engaging nonetheless. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
Funny, dumb, cruel and sick, Girls Will Be Girls is a relentlessly mean picture that will tickle those tired of sweet comedies whether in drag or plainclothes. In short, "Tootsie" it ain't. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
A spare, internally emotional movie like One requires something called screen presence. Its two leads have it. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
It's not an art film. The movie is as mainstream as it gets -- which is just fine; the picture is both great fun and gently satirical. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
A movie that will wear you out and make you misty even when you don't want to be. It's a gushy, sometimes-maudlin, often-charming movie that highlights the importance of little things. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
Though the picture is definitely flawed, it maintains a joie de vivre that's surprisingly refreshing. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 75
A funny, puzzling movie ambiguous enough to be engaging and oddly moving. -

Although at times ridiculous, Behind Enemy Lines nevertheless thrills, inspires. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Intriguing, containing a truthful kernel of sweetness, rot and brutality that will shock many. -

-
Kim Morgan 67
An affable, entertaining and poignant experience of the sort not normally afforded by space movies. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Has two other notable things going for it: the brilliant Christopher Walken and a soundtrack packed with songs by the drippy power ballad band Bad Company. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
An erotic mystery of sorts, the film works because it's laconic rather than talky and its actors are all up for the material. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
With a less popcorn-friendly cast and some cheesy special effects, this is a surprisingly engaging, sometimes foolish but often roughly intelligent film. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
A funny and sometimes substantial movie that in real life would never have a happy ending. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Really a vehicle for Dunst, which would be fine if only the vehicle were more inspired. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
This is a movie where you can just sit back and revel in it, warts and all. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Alas, the movie just isn't bouncy, fresh or funny enough. It's just not blonde enough. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
A bit of exotic neo-noir, clunky in parts and long, but often engaging and artfully atmospheric as well. -
-
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
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. -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Nothing near a modern vampire classic. Still, "Queen" is a great dose of vamp camp -
-
-
Kim Morgan 67
Some will hate this film, but there's something delectably junky about it -- like a bright colored candy glistening from a gutter, you just have to look at it. -
