4/5
     (2003)      "The story is simple, but effective, and a pleasant and charming diversion." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2003)      "When I come out of a movie and jump on the cel phone to tell anyone in my time zone to see it when it comes out, it made a visceral impact on me. " [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5
     (1998)      "I totally loved this movie. My group was aged 28-33, and we laughed, roared, bust a gut laughing, the whole movie." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Even pre-biased to adore Hoffman, I was surprised and delighted by his nuanced performance." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2003)      "It's compelling as hell, and it's a glimpse into the personal hell of a family torn apart by ugly acts." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "Pixar is the safest entertainment bet in town. So when I see what was really an uninteresting-looking preview, I ran out to see it. It had unexpected pleasures and was just as I had hoped." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5/5
     (2002)      "Spielberg slips in social commentary between Abagnale's prodigious feats of lawlessness & capitalizes on the glee of watching someone beat the system." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3
     (2001)      "It's not derivative so much as an homage - and it is this that saves the film from being just another talking animal movie." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5
     (1997)      "For you fuddy duddies out there who think cartoons are for kids, I don't know when the last time you saw a cartoon was, but movie cartoons have never been for kids." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2002)      "Viscerally engaging as you cringe at their actions & reel in surprise at the result & the new information...a nice little movie that also redeemed both actors a great deal." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2005)      "Like Sense and Sensibility, a good screenplay can be its own creation and still be slavishly true to its source...a perfect cast and a loviong adaptation. Read the book." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Two vaguely amoral do-gooders do their part to fight Commies in a secret hot war during a cold one%u2026you know, the one that installed the Taliban in Afghanistan and turned it into a place armed to the teeth and crazy pissed at us. Then Sorkin and Nich" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2003)      "Do not go in here expecting "an action movie" or an "up with people especially girls" kind of flick. This is basically PG-13 porn. And it's a blast." [movie review]      Cinerina

4
     (1997)      "It's fun and infantile and vulgar, like Clerks, but with a really mature message and well-developed characters." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5/5
     (2002)      "Intoxicating! I love love love it. I hope you will too. But you can never say they don't give you every penny's worth." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "Despite stellar vocal performances, Chicken Little does not fly." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2000)      "Inventiveness taken to new levels...simply a marvel." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "I have to confess that at times I was so flabbergasted by the incredible camerawork and long shots, I forgot to listen to the story. I loved it." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5
     (2000)      "Nothing in the story is unpredictable, but watching these events unfold is as delightful as when your mom told you your favorite story for the 100th time." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "Prince Caspian (the movie) is gorgeous and a total snore. The boy is just gorgeous. Whitewashing the themes also removed the story." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2005)      "Brilliant child actors eomtionally sell an effects-heavy but seamless and true adaptation of the beloved book." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3
     (1999)      "I am probably going to be whipped behind the woodshed for saying so, but I was seriously underwhelmed by this Best Picture nominee." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5/5
     (2005)      "I have never rooted for a sporting event in my life like I rooted for Braddock. I was on the edge of my couch, balled fists on my knees, praying he would prevail...superbly edited, beautifully shot, sensitively acted, and with fantastic grit and texture" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "Creepily fascinating. For all that they consume, they seem little interested in the films themselves, as an art form or as an industry." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2009)      "The funny bits are amusing, the action entertaining, the themes simple, the promise of future tales tantalizing, and the overall feel of the movie is more charming than epic or scary." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5
     (1998)      "I know a movie is good when I totally cease taking notes and then can find no adjectives to jot down. I was enthralled and yet not stupefied." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
1/5
     (2003)      "Incredible editing, but leaves an awful taste in my mouth - and I am totally desensitized to violence!" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
1.5
     (1998)      "Well, I know a movie is not worth seeing if I can't work up the energy to write about it for two weeks." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
     (2002)      "I was actually entertained and amused; but overall the movie is adequate and little more." [movie review]      Cinerina

3
     (1997)      "The production design of Clockwatchers is great - brilliant use of almost no money, good performances and nice ensemble." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
2/5
     (2004)      "Great performances of repellant, compelling characters in an intimate film that left an interesting, complex, but bad taste in my mouth." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5
     (2001)      "The story idea is new and different, and the plot turns are fun and interesting, with that oh-so-tres-French bittersweetness lurking below the surface Auteuil is perfect..." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5/5
     (2008)      "Nothing feels choreographed or contrived %u2013 every shot of disaster is found footage or dumb luck, every glimpse of the threat is fleeting and often unsatisfying. This is, simply put, awesome. To make things better, the movie is intensely character-d" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "...has a level of artistry and heart that I would normally not give Mr. Minghella credit for...a little too long and still feels like something is missing..." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3.5/5
     (2009)      "High concept, interesting, and well-performed, but ironically soulless. I enjoyed the journey we went on with Paul, but it had some intangible thing lacking." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "If you are still quaking with rage at 9/11/01, go ahead and rent it, & just try not to ask too many questions. It might make you feel a little better." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2002)      "It doesn't have a narrative arc so much as it sips from the snifter of the life of a comedian, but that does not detract from its interest one bit." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "Spans 4 decades of embarrassing spoken word performances, well-loved, iconic, & cheesy performances for the ages, 3 distinct television series, some commercials, & amusing, self-deprecating roles, & an impeccable personal life. He's the perfect target." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2002)      "The movie isn't out to answer questions, but to show you just how deep & intesting those questions can get. In the mean time, it's damn entertaining." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "On one level, it doesn't *seem* new and familiar, and yet here it is, feeling so anyway." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "If you find meticulously staged, passionately sung anthems about love, beauty, truth, and joy to be tiresome, then don't drop a dime on this film. Otherwise GO!" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2005)      "It's the artiest conspiracy theory movie in a while, not too pulpy or too auteurish, but just right." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Groovy, sexy, well-crafted adaptation with just the right casting to make it fly when it could have sunk." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5
     (1997)      "It's more visceral than I can explain in a short little review like this - but you can feel your breath in your throat at the most unexpected times." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4.5/5
     (2000)      "About fairness,privacy,shrewdness in politics,witch hunts,dignity,pride, and service to one's country and sticking to your guns." [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
5/5
     (2003)      "Kudos to director/co-writer Wayne Kramer (with Frank Hannah) for creating such a well-written stage for his excellent casting to play out upon. Go see it, for pete's sake!" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
2
     (1997)      "There is nothing wrong with Stallone's performance, or anyone's - all the big names in this movie were working hard to make sense out of a painfully empty, stupid script. " [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
2/5
     (2009)      "At times it was trying too hard to be WHIMSICAL %u2122 and missing the point that whimsy is best taken unselfconsciously. By all means see it if you can also endure the tedious splendor that is Nightmare Before Christmas. They are both stunning to look" [movie review]      Cinerina   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "Glorifies real nose-to-the-grindstone smart people, who are our only hope. And makes science fun to boot!" [movie review]      Cinerina
