"Like Peter Pan, who also took children flying until it was time for them to grow up, E.T. represents the wonder of childhood, of a time that we must all leave behind."

"A dog faces death, not because of cold or hunger, not because it was abandoned to face the polar winter alone, but because it was distracted and enamored by the southern lights?"

"A lurid sort of Christopher Hitchens vision of history pervades Elizabeth: The Golden Age … How is it possible that this orgy of anti-Catholicism has been all but ignored by critics?"

"Avoids a misstep common among girl-empowerment flicks, which often emasculate the male lead to make the heroine truly heroic… manages to make both leads appealing."

"William Hundert (Kevin Kline) isn't charismatic or cool… I like that about him. He isn't selling his own personality, authenticity, or commitment; he isn't selling education as self-actualization (Dead Poets Society)…"

"A few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film, but the wheezing terrorist subplot hasn't the stamina for the 100-minute running time, and the protagonists' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun."
