 "...valuable for offering a terrific sampler of underexposed feminist art, which Hershman-Leeson has smartly made available at rawwar.org, and important interviews..." |

 "Among gore-hounds, genre nuts, and lovers of all that is deeply bizarre about Japanese cinema, Takashi Miike is a freaky godfather.... focused, lean and mean..." |

 "It's tough work making films about decent men just trying to do the right thing... Where's the drama in that?" |

 "...miserable... The sloppy action sequences and unoriginal fight scenes wouldn't be such a problem if Lautner could emote... The plot is nonsense..." |

 "...stuffed full with ambitious ideas that never take flight. It's far too contrived to work as a tragedy, and too thin as a piece of intellectual inquest." |

 "...overstuffed with underwhelming video of reunion performances... a bit like a Rolling Stones doc that hurries through Altamont and zooms in on the Steel Wheels tour." |

 "As exquisite and flat as a sepia-toned vacation postcard... The 1947 adaptation was so much more, and so much more strange." |

 "...a disappointment at best.... There's plenty of vrooom and zoooom, but, at two hours, kids may be confused and even a little bored..." |

 "Max Winkler flaunts a sure touch with fast-moving, occasionally sharp dialogue... but his film skitters over the surface like a crab on glass and the casting doesn't work." |

 "One of the most thrilling directorial debuts of the year... an edge-of-your-seat thriller... a soap-operatic family melodrama... and an exploration of the power of the state..." |

 "...hovers in that uncanny valley between camp and horror: wild enough to titillate for a few fun fight sequences, too safe to leave much of an impression." |

 "The head-skewering impalements play shamelessly into unnecessary 3-D, but, whoa, the death-by-sailboat-mast is hysterically nasty..." |

 "...less a chronicle of an era than a loving scrapbook: It has the amateur feel of a video guestbook, signed by all of Morellet's friends. And really, the scattershot approach perfectly captures the restaurant's lovably garish vibe." |

 "...unapologetically delivers a hyperactive, synthetic buzz.... crossbreeds the giddy vulgarity of 'Knocked Up' and the Manhattan glamour of 'The Devil Wears Prada'..." |

 "...sorely tests the limits of Radnor's artfully stubbled affability, but he very nearly gets away with it... The look and feel of the film is unpretentious and warm..." |

 "...if this is an employee review, and not a movie review, I'd say Charlie Day, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston more than earn their paychecks." |
