Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland plumb the violence of the mind with slashing wit and shocking gravity. Happy nightmares. -

Lin is a talent to watch. There's a sting to this film that gets to you. -

Despite over-ripe narration and an understandable urge to cram too much in, Ghosts of the Abyss is a thrilling documentary. -

It would be easy and convenient to dismiss Irreversible as blatant sensationalism. But Noe's bruising film is too artfully crafted to write off as exploitation. -

What catches us in Spider's web -- besides the indelible performances of Fiennes and Richardson -- is the director's sympathy with this freak man-child who struggles to order his confused memories into a kind of truth. -

Leave it to a g-rated cartoon to give the live-action epics a lesson in action, fun and bracing originality. -

Unabashedly hokey, but would you want it any other way? In an era of cynical junk (did anyone say “Bad Boys II”?), Ross restores the good name of crowd-pleasing. -

I've seen A Mighty Wind only twice so far. Maybe it is less fresh than "Guffman," more strained than "Best in Show." Who cares? It's still a gift from comedy heaven. -

Don't stall about seeing Sofia Coppola's altogether remarkable Lost in Translation. It's a class-act liftoff for the fall movie season. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson give performances that will be talked about for years. -

Without an ounce of phony Hollywood uplift, Winterbottom's film cuts right to the heart. -

In Kill Bill, Tarantino brings delicious sin back to movies -- the thrill you get from something down, dirty and dangerous. -

To those who see no purpose to this film, I say the purpose is learning not to turn a blind eye. The unique and unforgettable Elephant keeps its eyes wide open. -

Crowe -- fierce, funny and every inch the hero -- gives a blazing star performance. -

It's a feast of smart, sexy, glorious talk. The Oscar for best foreign film belongs right here. -

Peter Travers 88
Wayne Kramer, who co-wrote the scrappy script with Frank Hannah, makes a potent directing debut and strikes gold with the cast. -

Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent. -

This is a film in which ideas resonate as well as action. Gandalf’s words to Pippin about death have a muscular poetry. -

It will knock you for a loop like no other movie this year. -

Peter Travers 88
The specter of war haunts Cold Mountain, but you remember it for the heat of its romantic yearning and the mysteries that wrap themselves around you until you're lost in another world. -

Peter Travers 88
Altman, showing the ardor and assurance of a master, pulls us into his film with seductive power. You won't want to miss a thing. -

Peter Travers 88
Hits hardest when it bypasses sentiment to ponder the inextricable mix of love and pain that comes with the ties that bind. -
-
-
Peter Travers 88
Director Wolfgang Petersen puts such a fresh spin on the familiar that it all works like gangbusters. -
-
-
Peter Travers 88
Chases so many ideas that it threatens to spin out of control. But with our multiplexes stuffed with toxic Hollywood formula, it's a gift to find a ballsy movie that thinks it can do anything, and damn near does. -
-
-
Peter Travers 88
LaBute achieves a bracing originality by observing human folly as a means to understand rather than condemn. Love or hate his films, LaBute is one of the most challenging filmmakers to emerge in years. -

-
Peter Travers 88
Kidman gives the most emotionally bruising performance of her career in Dogville, a movie that never met a cliche it didn't stomp on. -
