Larry Terenzi 85
Tucci has crafted a poignant remembrance of a bygone era, and a touching examination of the responsibilities of creativity. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 80
What matters is that the movie's a blast, right up until its protracted climax. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 80
A 25-minute third act is far too short to suffice, especially when the previous two hours are as astute and technically impressive as they are here. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 80
Marred by an unconvincing love triangle and an insincere dénouement, it's a story that nonetheless resonates as much as "Saving Private Ryan does." -
-
-
-
Larry Terenzi 75
Ultimately nothing more than a live-action cartoon. A high-minded, inspiring cartoon, but a cartoon nonetheless. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 74
An ambitious film, nearly an exploitative one, but its lingering effects are positive. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 74
Seems truncated, incomplete -- mostly because the patented Shyamalan twist is revealed in the dénouement, not the climax. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 74
He's (Eastwood) made a mature film that bests nearly all of the summer's highly touted blockbusters for pure escapism. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 72
An agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 70
Boasts a fine cast and makes enough cogent points that it rises above standard cop fare. -
-
-
-
Larry Terenzi 69
A shell of a film. It's a stripped-down and blown-out thriller than can only be measured by the sum of its action sequences. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 63
A generally likeable cast atones for the underwritten script with fine comic spirit. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 62
Hicks is far less interested in resolving dramatic conflicts than in framing shots. -
-
-
-
Larry Terenzi 60
Sunk by its own melodramatic falseness, and it stands as a well-meaning yet lacking tribute to a courageous man. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 60
Wincer keeps the insubstantial story moving and the comedy light. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 60
What does it say that we have a closer relationship with the car than with the characters? It says Bruckheimer. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 50
A botched effort. Not necessarily bad, but hardly compelling either. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 41
McKenna's script is a frayed string and a contextual nightmare, peppered with puzzling references to the first film in a lame attempt at homage. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 40
The only constant is the violence, which assaults rather than amuses. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 40
The most disappointing aspect of Planet of the Apes is that, despite its presentation, the film is so very ordinary, without urgency or revelation. -
-

Kids deserve better than this. They deserve more respect than P2K is willing to give for the price of a Saturday matinee. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 40
Struggles for any kind of movement and cohesion -- and most of all for any kind of humor. -
-
-
-
-
Larry Terenzi 33
Without any momentum and lacking both depth and interesting characters, Shadow Hours makes sin seem pretty damn boring. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 32
Shelton attempts to fashion a kind of road movie-love triangle-sports flick. He fails on all three counts. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 30
The selling out of Chris Rock -- or Down to Earth, as he's chosen to call it -- is a sad, sad thing. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 30
Through a messy series of news reports, interviews, talk shows, and behind-the-scenes footage, Arcand creates a cinema vérité spoof that's not nearly as penetrating or enjoyable as he thinks. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 29
Two hours' worth of painful stupidity, overt racism, and mind-battering noise and movement. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 13
First the TV show, then the video games, the playing cards, the books, the clothes, and now the movie -- the dreaded movie. -
-
-
Larry Terenzi 10
A slick, simplistic, and laughable effort that's reminiscent of a bad Jerry Bruckheimer film. A really bad Bruckheimer film. -

Whipped is cinematic suicide, if not for actor, then certainly for audience. -
