This lame teenage James Bond will leave audiences neither shaken nor stirred. -

One big hunk of cinematic moussaka with lots of appetizing shots of food. -

Harris can be a brilliant actor, and there are flashes of that here. But he's done in by a script that lacks any subtlety. -

For much of Flannel Pajamas I wondered if the couple's big problem was that Stuart was secretly gay. Nothing so interesting - he's just a narcissistic control freak and she's off-puttingly needy. -

A low-key Field is the best thing about Two Weeks, which is set in a Wilmington, N.C., where everyone mysteriously sounds like he just got off a Los Angeles freeway. -

The apolitical and well-meaning Home of the Brave is predictable and maudlin. -

In the hands of the formerly promising director Joe Carnahan, this stylish, nihilistic, hugely derivative mash-up of Tarantino and Guy Ritchie (before wife Madonna ruined his career) is fun for roughly half an hour. -

The cast includes Oscar winner Louise Fletcher (Nurse Ratched herself) and Henry Thomas of "E.T.," and the special effects look like they were executed on somebody's laptop. -

When you awake, it may all seem like a bad dream - but why is your wallet missing $11? Scary. -

Next, which makes "National Treasure" look like a model of narrative logic, is almost beyond criticism. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 38
A bizarre quasi-documentary that more or less tries to rationalize bestiality as a harmless quirk. -

Peter Krause, the fine actor from "Six Feet Under," gives a one-note performance that seriously undermines Civic Duty, a thriller mining minimal dramatic payoff from the potentially potent subject of post-9/11 paranoia. -

Picks up steam when it finally arrives in Cannes just in time to wreak yet more havoc at the big film festival, but getting there is pretty tedious. A little of the wildly mugging Atkinson goes a long way. -

A gorgeous snooze, somewhere between imitation Terrence Malick and a feature version of star Brad Pitt's notorious Vanity Fair layout with Angelina Jolie and their faux kids. -

The opening montage raises expectations of a serious, politically incisive depiction of the region. What we actually get is an offensively pandering, Bruckheimer-esque riff on the real-life Khobar Towers bombing of 1996, a Saudi Hezbollah attack that killed 19 Americans. -

Lust, Caution could have done with a lot more lust and a lot less caution. -

This is the sort of movie that requires you not only to suspend disbelief, but to check your sanity at the ticket counter. -

The plot contortions that very slowly unfold under Michael Radford's arthritic direction in Flawless are not much more entertaining. -

It's pretty hard to make a dull movie about Henry VIII and his complicated love life, but The Other Boleyn Girl, a failed Oscar contender, manages to do just that, with yawns to spare. -

Under Mark Palansky's uninspired direction, magic eludes Penelope in scene after scene. -

Laughs are few and far between in the innuendo-laden script attributed to Dana Fox, who's also responsible for the reprehensible "The Wedding Date." -

Feels like it was written and directed by an audience focus group in Omaha? -

This movie fails so spectacularly - and on so many levels - that it's like watching a train plummet off a bridge. -

Murphy has fallen back into the comfortable rut of sloppy family comedies that are low on laughs and high on toilet jokes. -

Nicely photographed and has impressive sets; too bad there's so little going on that it seems long even at 78 minutes. -
