2.5
     (2001)      "Although the film itself and its immaculate pacing keeps us believing his love is real – it is impossible to be intellectually honest and come to that conclusion." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "For all the nightmarish scenes conceived as a creepy cross between Burroughs and Weisel, we don't receive the cathartic satisfaction typically related to the dramatization of Jewish tragedy." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5
     (2003)      "I expected more from a movie that took home gold in Cannes and wowed ‘em at Sundance." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5
     (2004)      "Assassination is a showcase for its star, along with a heavy handed message about America being a land of opportunity for only the few, and, well, not much else." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3
     (2005)      "..a cocksure, stylized, gutty thrill-ride very much in the tradition of star Ethan Hawke and producer Jeffrey Silver’s prior collaboration, Training Day.." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/4
     (2001)      "After seeing spectacular epics like Tarzan, it is difficult to properly appreciate the mediocre, but entertaining Atlantis." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "The fact that someone was so inspired by our pathetic and pitiable inability to communicate with our fellow man to craft a film with that message and that message alone is noteworthy." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "The film leaves us with the notion that music; sweet simple notes arranged in brilliant order, is one language where even Jews and Arabs can find harmony" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
'4'
     (2005)      "Burton’s work checks in as the better movie, both aesthetically and artistically, however, and please hear me out, Batman Begins is the better Batman movie." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "However, between Delpy, Hawke, and Linklater, a script was born and once again the couple meets, this time in Paris, this time for far fewer hours (and in real time)." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Before the Devil Knows Your Dead is an insightful, incisive lesson in potential. Every frame oozes desperation and there is always a plan being concocted." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "The underlying premise of The Believer is simple and understandable to any one of us who have grown indifferent to many of the teachings we accepted with such naiveté, such open hopeful hearts throughout our early education." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (1986)      "The general measure of audience enjoyment for a film based on Simon has everything to do with one's tolerance for the playwright." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "The pain and involvement for audiences experiencing forbidden love on screen rests entirely in the degree with which they can believe in that love in the first place" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "How absolutely fascinating and depressing it must be to have a past." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5
     (2003)      "There may be some deeper meaning to all this madness about living beyond your prime and regret, but it just barely escapes me how it all fits in" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3
     (2003)      "Sayles lets the befuddlements and ordinary complications of life take its course like a winding, sunlit stream." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Though Bartlett occasionally misfires, the trips and stumbles are made nearly irrelevant by the rampant innovativeness and ingenuity at hand." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
4
     (2002)      "The audience in my theater cheered and hollered after each show stopper." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/4
     (1982)      "It shouldered its way into the popular consciousness, perhaps with a few concessions and a straining dramatic license, but nonetheless it remains a thoughtful, provocative engagement of legitimate issues relating to Judaism, the ancient, ever evolving rel" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3
     (2003)      "The surprise is not necessarily that Dillon has a unique voice, but rather that the voice is so bizarrely dark and uninhibitedly exotic." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "Our wide eyed, angel faced chayalot drift hypnotized toward the center of the chaos and we realize that in Israel, there cannot be a movie about just regular teenage girls" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "Beyond the superb and elegant performances depicting a complex and real relationship between a husband and wife, Gardener stands out because its backdrop is Africa." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "The problem with the movie is that it is so brash and transparent in its attempt to spotlight and expose every single conceivable racial divide and stereotype, it loses all credibility and can't be but gawked at." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
'3'
     (2005)      "This is not Hollywood filmmaking, and if it were not for the familiar and likable face of Leguizamo, the average Saturday night filmgoer would be clawing at the door." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "All the intense, pent up passion between Benjamin and Daisy which kept the film so taut and engrossing for an hour and a half is a mortifying drain once they unite and are free to express their devotion." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "While the film looks beautiful and the cinematography and staging by Xiaoding Zhao is as magnificent as ever, Curse of the Golden Flower is the weakest of the class (like being the worst student at Yale)." [movie review]      Bangitout.com

3.5

2.5
     (2001)      "If only ambition was the bar at which to measure the quality of motion pictures, Enemy at the Gates could sit atop the best of the year." [movie review]      Bangitout.com

2.5/4
     (1991)      "While in every other Holocaust film the Nazis are depicted as masterful at sniffing out and executing Jews, Perel dodges bullet after bullet with relative ease and immense good fortune." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/4
     (2001)      "Orin Boyd is a cop who "doesn't obey the rules" and although his boss considers him to be "one of the best", he must be transferred to one of the roughest precincts in town." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2/4
     (1960)      "The style of filmmaking is simply too polite and serene to carry the edgy, dangerous material of Uris's novel" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3
     (2001)      "What the Hughes Brothers have done in making a lavish period piece complete ...... is nothing less than a revolutionary achievement." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2001)      "Gaudi Afternoon is mostly dream, part nightmare, and part morality play surrounding the concept of mothering a young girl." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Therein lies the persisting sentiment of guilt and fiendishness in trying to adequately talk about a film that portrays rather poignantly and starkly the suffering of Palestinians" [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3
     (2003)      "..disturbing, yet life affirming portrait ... girlhood is an early stage of life, but the consequences of mistakes upon womanhood and, more significantly, motherhood will ..." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Bailly intends to dissect the fragile psyche of a free spirited non-Jewish fashion model,but for me, the important subject of the film is Francois, a quasi-handsome Jewish veterinarian living in Paris, who has a latent but ongoing identity crisis." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
'2.5'
     (2005)      "It is hard to go wrong when your research turned up reel after reel of Nazi era footage and dozens of audio tapes from the regime." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "The action and drama related to the taking of the girl and the unraveling of the mystery are inarguably engrossing, but sometimes twists and turns that work on the page are drained of impact once put to screen." [movie review]      Bangitout.com   
  
2.5/4

3.5/4
     (1998)      "If Jane Austen or a Brontë sister were inclined to revolve their tale of forbidden love and parlor room intrigue around a Jewish heroine, The Governess would undoubtedly resemble the result." [movie review]      Bangitout.com
