Yes, yes--The Incredibles is beautiful to look at, but even more lovely beneath the computer-generated surfaces. -

The first relevant film about rock and roll and the music industry, the first film that lets you in on the secret. -

A gentle, frank, and often hysterical love story about two people destined, and occasionally doomed, to be together forever. Some of us should be as lucky, as blessed, as Harvey Pekar. -

May be the most wrenching, profound and perfectly made movie nobody wants to see. -

Feels like something entirely brand-new; such are the gifts of Kaufman and Gondry, inventors and magicians. -

One of the most remarkable things about Murderball, which is easily among the year's best movies, is how little of its time is filled with the playing of the game. -

It is a remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a beautiful and brutal work. -

What makes About Schmidt so extraordinary is how ordinary its tale is; it's a gray picture about gray people looking for some kind of meaning in their gray lives. -

The film, from its deadpan start to its languorous finish, provides the most joyous moviegoing experience in years. -

Where Peter was yee-ha giddy with the discovery of his newfound powers in the first film, he's crushed by the weight of responsibility that comes with them in its far superior successor. -

There's something more REAL about this version, more human, more lived-in; though their words may have been penned 200 years ago, when Austen was a young woman writing about her idealized self, this cast and crew nudge the material into the now. -

That's what directors do when they have nothing new to say: They go back and rewrite the past, if only to avoid facing the future -

Engaging and revelatory, turning forgotten footnotes and discarded minutiae into the stuff of riveting drama and poignant laughs. -

It's vibrant and verdant and heartbreakingly inviting, begging you to escape into a lovely tale in which children, through a simple act of faith, find their own heaven on earth. -

That he (Hetfield), and his band, still lives is astonishing enough; that you get to see how and why in a movie so painfully intimate is nothing short of extraordinary. -

Virgin is astoundingly astute but also wondrously clever, written with more care and joy than any hundred comedies to come out of Hollywood in years. -

As surreal as it is obscene, as clever as it is crude. It plays like some raw offspring of underground comix and the comedies of the 1920s. -

What makes Crash so gripping--so terrifying in spots, so moving in others, and even a little funny at times--is how nothing happens as we think it will.- Posted Feb 15, 2011

At last, his (Howard's) first great (and filling) movie--inspirational, yes, but far from hokey; moving, absolutely, but never saccharine; and gripping, despite its being a fixed fight. -

Clooney has become a movie star, and the Coens have given him his very own "It Happened One Night." The man, and the movie, are downright bona fide. -

The movie resonates precisely because it serves as documentary only pretending to be fiction: It's set in a real place recovering from real pain, which Lee makes tangible. -

An ethereal, creepy, almost breathtaking meditation on the life of a mind snapped in two. -
