A beautifully crafted, white-knuckle, roller-coaster ride of old-school filmmaking -- the kind that believes that the less you show, the better. -

Dreamcatcher is a lark probably best enjoyed by 12-year-olds -- or anyone still able to get in touch with their inner 12-year-old. -

Has a generosity of spirit and a wonderfully upbeat ending that makes it a nice little antidote to a bleak season. -

Surprisingly funny and sweet, despite some missed comic opportunities and curious casting choices. -

Not a very visually interesting documentary its simply one head talking to the audience, with no film clips, photographs or other diversions. But its awfully hard to turn away. -

The lyrical The Road Home is less political and less flashy than some previous films by Zhang Yimou. -

Not for all tastes, but it demonstrates Loach's skill as a poet of gritty semi-documentary filmmaking. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
Its portrait of adolescence seems so authentic that it puts most Hollywood products to shame. -

A must-see for Nicholson's mesmerizing performance, which would probably hold interest even if the sound were turned off. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
A lush, genteel romance of the Merchant-Ivory school that qualifies as a guilty pleasure -- largely because of the unexpected chemistry between its improbably matched leads, Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. -

That his dialogue is often deliberately anachronistic is part of the joke -- and Wilson's sly delivery is often funnier than the lines themselves. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
A gripping reminder of a brutal chapter of 20th-century history. -

-
Lou Lumenick 75
Has enough heart and smarts to recommend it as one of the season's worthier family entertainments. -

You won't find a movie that's more fun this season -- but at 2-1/2 hours, it's probably too much of a good thing. -

-
Lou Lumenick 75
Pulls no punches - blood flows very freely (including the ear-cutting scene) and black humor abounds. -

Soderbergh -- helms a much tighter and arguably cooler film -- even if the only thing audiences are likely to remember about this Ocean's Eleven is that, while they were watching it, they enjoyed it tremendously -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
Dark, morbidly funny and quite violent movie, which plays with audience members' heads in ways many people will find quite disturbing. -
-

Director Frears, in a radical shift from "High Fidelity," again (as in "Dangerous Liaisons") shows he's a master of period detail and subtle storytelling -- and the performances couldn't be more on the money. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
Penn makes us take the leap required by Kristine Johnson and Jessie Nelson's screenplay -- you end up deeply caring about Sam and Lucy. -
-
-

Makes "Training Day" -- which was admittedly pretty tough -- seem like a Disney cartoon by comparison. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
Some of the year's most arresting female performances justify White Oleander, a highly episodic melodrama. -
-
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
Sometimes gets repetitive and is slightly overlong. But it's got solid performances. -
-
-
Lou Lumenick 75
No classic like "The Big Sleep," another famously impossible-to-follow Los Angeles thriller. But for those willing to hang on for dear life, Lynch makes it worth their while. -

It's a tribute to the sheer professionalism of this crossover charmer that it holds your interest for two solid hours. -
