 "Fascinating on social and theological levels, the film is less compelling as a straightforward narrative.... [but] it also is satisfying in ways that fiction rarely achieves." |

 "...a satisfying sequel to 'District B13'... a breathless bit of derring-do that ranks with the best martial-arts fights of the past few years." |

 "...pretty tired stuff from 'Pacifier'-style slapstick to comic relief delivered by, of all people, erstwhile country star Billy Ray Cyrus." |

Poor |
 "...a glib, simplistic documentary from first-time director Peter Rodger.... his film adds nothing but glitz and noise to our understanding of religion." |

Good (Not Great) |
 "First-rate action scenes alternate with florid melodrama, and jaw-dropping stunts try to compensate for saccharine plot twists." |

 "An impressionistic, unfulfilling look at 'The Americans,' Robert Frank's groundbreaking book of photographs." |

 "...flirts with big themes but settles for lukewarm dramatics.... the film overall never rises above recycling bits from better movies." |

Moderate |
 "...has the look and feel of a high-tech funding proposal. The travails of launching a telescope in polar settings prove moderately entertaining, but too much of the film is devoted to less rewarding material." |

Good |
 "...moving and at times chilling... Full of obvious good intentions, the film still suffers from a rambling narrative that leaves too many loose ends. A natural for fight fans..." |

 "Your affection for old-fashioned monster movies will help determine your tolerance for 'Big Man Japan'... Defiantly offbeat but only intermittently funny..." |

 "...the performers in 'Wink' fail to address the eroticism at the heart of stripping. The routines in the film aren't just squeaky clean, they essentially ignore sex altogether." |
