3/5
     (1937)      "The film doesn't pack any surprises, but ... there's sometimes a happy reassurance that comes from watching a movie you know won't surprise you." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1951)      "The film's finest moments come at the very beginning." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5

2/5
     (1979)      "It aims at screwball comedy and falls on its face." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5
     (1968)      "Works best if viewed as a symphony." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "This is an actors' film, and the fragmentation takes away from the power of the performances." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "Despite its failings and its admittedly untrustworthy account of the events it portrays ... and it often achieves great poignancy and humor." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5

2/5
     (2007)      "Concept: excellent. Setup: intriguing. Execution: well... too many interesting ideas bungled." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (2007)      "Every complaint that's ever been made about comic books or comic book adaptations is accurate when applied to 300." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
5/5
     (1959)      "This bleak ending, with Antoine turning to stare into the camera, is among the most famous shots in cinema history, and for good reason." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1933)      "The strength of a musical is its songs, and this film had a mixed bag." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (1941)      "[Humanizing the Nazis is] an extremely effective technique, and it makes for an extremely effective film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (2009)      "The film seems constructed to short-circuit your attempts to invest anything in it." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "If the part is not much of a mental or emotional stretch for him, [Eminem] acquits himself well enough for me to want to see him in other films." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
0/5
     (2005)      "Dreary and pointless, drainingly so, and for a movie that consists basically of sex, rock 'n' roll, and drugs (in approximate order of frequency), that's pretty pathetic." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (2001)      "A sometimes uncomfortable, often brilliant and visionary blending of ... two vastly different styles." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

     (1951)      "The Network of the newspaper age." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1933)      "Worth watching only for fans of the genre... its staginess and bullet-point delivery make it less complex and less rewarding than other antiwar films of the 1930s." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5

4/5
     (2001)      "It is a raw, intermittently brilliant film that heralds a sort of renaissance in Mexican film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

     (1950)      "Solid, entertaining film noir." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
