1 | with not a lot of help from the screenplay -lrb- proficient , but singularly cursory -rrb- , -lrb- testud -rrb- acts with the feral intensity of the young bette davis . |
0 | spreads itself too thin , leaving these actors , as well as the members of the commune , short of profound characterizations |
2 | the acting , for the most part , is terrific , although the actors must struggle with the fact that they 're playing characters who sometimes feel more like literary conceits than flesh-and-blood humans . |

2 | at just over an hour , home movie will leave you wanting more , not to mention leaving you with some laughs and a smile on your face . |

2 | a good music documentary , probably one of the best since the last waltz . |
2 | -lrb- gulpilil -rrb- is a commanding screen presence , and his character 's abundant humanism makes him the film 's moral compass . |
1 | as social exposé , skins has its heart in the right place , but that 's not much to hang a soap opera on . |
2 | the screenplay never lets us forget that bourne was once an amoral assassin just like the ones who are pursuing him ... there is never really a true `` us '' versus `` them '' . |
2 | an interesting look behind the scenes of chicago-based rock group wilco ... |
1 | interesting , but not compelling . |
2 | the sword fighting is well done and auteuil is a goofy pleasure . |
0 | the only thing scary about feardotcom is that the filmmakers and studio are brazen enough to attempt to pass this stinker off as a scary movie . |

2 | mention `` solaris '' five years from now and i 'm sure those who saw it will have an opinion to share . |
2 | that ` alabama ' manages to be pleasant in spite of its predictability and occasional slowness is due primarily to the perkiness of witherspoon -lrb- who is always a joy to watch , even when her material is not first-rate -rrb- ... |
1 | the reason to see `` sade '' lay with the chemistry and complex relationship between the marquis -lrb- auteil -rrb- and emilie -lrb- le besco -rrb- . |

0 | much of the cast is stiff or just plain bad . |
1 | overall , interesting as a documentary -- but not very imaxy . |

1 | what puzzles me is the lack of emphasis on music in britney spears ' first movie . |
0 | busy urban comedy is clearly not zhang 's forte , his directorial touch is neither light nor magical enough to bring off this kind of whimsy . |
0 | imagine the cleanflicks version of ` love story , ' with ali macgraw 's profanities replaced by romance-novel platitudes . |
1 | the movie 's gloomy atmosphere is fascinating , though , even if the movie itself does n't stand a ghost of a chance . |

0 | return to neverland manages to straddle the line between another classic for the company and just another run-of-the-mill disney sequel intended for the home video market . |

1 | holds limited appeal to those who like explosions , sadism and seeing people beat each other to a pulp . |
2 | drama of temptation , salvation and good intentions is a thoughtful examination of faith , love and power . |
2 | oddly compelling . |
0 | feels at times like a giant commercial for universal studios , where much of the action takes place . |
0 | a small fortune in salaries and stunt cars might have been saved if the director , tom dey , had spliced together bits and pieces of midnight run and 48 hours -lrb- and , for that matter , shrek -rrb- . |
