some movies were made for the big screen , some for the small screen , and some , like ballistic : ecks vs. sever , were made for the palm screen .
negative
only masochistic moviegoers need apply .
negative
any rock pile will do for a set .
negative
though there are many tense scenes in trapped , they prove more distressing than suspenseful .
negative
pleasant but not more than recycled jock piffle .
negative
if festival in cannes nails hard - boiled hollywood argot with a bracingly nasty accuracy , much about the film , including some of its casting , is frustratingly unconvincing .
negative
the first hour is tedious though ford and neeson capably hold our interest , but its just not a thrilling movie .
negative
this is n't a new idea .
negative
diane lane 's sophisticated performance ca n't rescue adrian lyne 's unfaithful from its sleazy moralizing .
negative
a piece of mildly entertaining , inoffensive fluff that drifts aimlessly for 90 minutes before lodging in the cracks of that ever-growing category : unembarrassing but unmemorable .
negative
this latest installment of the horror film franchise that is apparently as invulnerable as its trademark villain has arrived for an incongruous summer playoff , demonstrating yet again that the era of the intelligent , well-made b movie is long gone .
negative
richard pryor mined his personal horrors and came up with a treasure chest of material , but lawrence gives us mostly fool 's gold .
negative
even accepting this in the right frame of mind can only provide it with so much leniency .
negative
while some will object to the idea of a vietnam picture with such a rah-rah , patriotic tone , soldiers ultimately achieves its main strategic objective : dramatizing the human cost of the conflict that came to define a generation .
negative
and for all the wrong reasons besides .
negative
nothing about them is attractive .
negative
it 's a movie that ends with truckzilla , for cryin ' out loud .
negative
no , even that 's too committed .
negative
you do n't need to know your ice-t 's from your cool-j 's to realize that as far as these shootings are concerned , something is rotten in the state of california .
negative
a movie where story is almost an afterthought amidst a swirl of colors and inexplicable events .
negative
a seriously bad film with seriously warped logic by writer-director kurt wimmer at the screenplay level .
negative
the film is strictly routine .
negative
-lrb- soderbergh -rrb- tends to place most of the psychological and philosophical material in italics rather than trust an audience 's intelligence , and he creates an overall sense of brusqueness .
negative
the film is really closer to porn than a serious critique of what 's wrong with this increasingly pervasive aspect of gay culture .
negative
rice never clearly defines his characters or gives us a reason to care about them .
negative
does n't get the job done , running off the limited chemistry created by ralph fiennes and jennifer lopez .
negative
` christian bale 's quinn -lrb- is -rrb- a leather clad grunge-pirate with a hairdo like gandalf in a wind-tunnel and a simply astounding cor-blimey-luv-a-duck cockney accent . '
negative
an exit sign , that is .
negative
a big fat pain .
negative
it 's also built on a faulty premise , one it follows into melodrama and silliness .
negative
the script has less spice than a rat burger and the rock 's fighting skills are more in line with steven seagal .
negative
this dreadfully earnest inversion of the concubine love triangle eschews the previous film 's historical panorama and roiling pathos for bug-eyed mugging and gay-niche condescension .
negative
everything about it from the bland songs to the colorful but flat drawings is completely serviceable and quickly forgettable .
negative
go , girls , right down the reality drain .
negative
you can taste it , but there 's no fizz .
negative
potty-mouthed enough for pg-13 , yet not as hilariously raunchy as south park , this strangely schizo cartoon seems suited neither to kids or adults .
negative
like most of jaglom 's films , some of it is honestly affecting , but more of it seems contrived and secondhand .
negative
it makes me feel weird \/ thinking about all the bad things in the world \/ like puppies with broken legs \/ and butterflies that die \/ and movies starring pop queens
negative
to honestly address the flaws inherent in how medical aid is made available to american workers , a more balanced or fair portrayal of both sides will be needed .
negative
ultimately , sarah 's dedication to finding her husband seems more psychotic than romantic , and nothing in the movie makes a convincing case that one woman 's broken heart outweighs all the loss we witness .
negative
the film itself is about something very interesting and odd that would probably work better as a real documentary without the insinuation of mediocre acting or a fairly trite narrative .
negative
jaw-droppingly superficial , straining to get by on humor that is not even as daring as john ritter 's glory days on three 's company .
negative
would that greengrass had gone a tad less for grit and a lot more for intelligibility .
negative
it 's like a drive-by .
negative
it 's one thing to read about or rail against the ongoing - and unprecedented - construction project going on over our heads .
negative
a little more intensity and a little less charm would have saved this film a world of hurt .
negative
gaghan ... has thrown every suspenseful cliché in the book at this nonsensical story .
negative
the whole thing comes off like a particularly amateurish episode of bewitched that takes place during spring break .
negative
consider the film a celluloid litmus test for the intellectual and emotional pedigree of your date and a giant step backward for a director i admire .
negative
ultimately , the film never recovers from the clumsy cliché of the ugly american abroad , and the too-frosty exterior ms. paltrow employs to authenticate her british persona is another liability .
negative
this is not a classical dramatic animated feature , nor a hip , contemporary , in-jokey one .
negative
the film 's most improbable feat ?
negative
it 's hard to care about a film that proposes as epic tragedy the plight of a callow rich boy who is forced to choose between his beautiful , self-satisfied 22-year-old girlfriend and an equally beautiful , self-satisfied 18-year-old mistress .
negative
interview with the assassin is structured less as a documentary and more as a found relic , and as such the film has a difficult time shaking its blair witch project real-time roots .
negative
obvious .
negative
maybe there 's a metaphor here , but figuring it out would n't make trouble every day any better .
negative
what could have been right at home as a nifty plot line in steven soderbergh 's traffic fails to arrive at any satisfying destination .
negative
laconic and very stilted in its dialogue , this indie flick never found its audience , probably because it 's extremely hard to relate to any of the characters .
negative
a jumbled fantasy comedy that did not figure out a coherent game plan at scripting , shooting or post-production stages .
negative
despite engaging offbeat touches , knockaround guys rarely seems interested in kicking around a raison d'etre that 's as fresh-faced as its young-guns cast .
negative
the whole affair , true story or not , feels incredibly hokey ... -lrb- it -rrb- comes off like a hallmark commercial .
negative
what 's infuriating about full frontal is that it 's too close to real life to make sense .
negative
the problem with `` xxx '' is that its own action is n't very effective .
negative
this bond film goes off the beaten path , not necessarily for the better .
negative
i could just feel the screenwriter at every moment ` tap , tap , tap , tap , tapping away ' on this screenplay .
negative
the movie 's something-borrowed construction feels less the product of loving , well integrated homage and more like a mere excuse for the wan , thinly sketched story .
negative
and people make fun of me for liking showgirls .
negative
contrasting the original ringu with the current americanized adaptation is akin to comparing the evil dead with evil dead ii
negative
if routine action and jokes like this are your cup of tea , then pay your $ 8 and get ready for the big shear .
negative
a movie that ca n't get sufficient distance from leroy 's delusions to escape their maudlin influence .
negative
an impenetrable and insufferable ball of pseudo-philosophic twaddle .
negative
the type of dumbed-down exercise in stereotypes that gives the -lrb- teen comedy -rrb- genre a bad name .
negative
perhaps a better celebration of these unfairly dismissed heroes would be a film that is n't this painfully forced , false and fabricated .
negative
not a strike against yang 's similarly themed yi yi , but i found what time ?
negative
despite its sincere acting , signs is just another unoriginal run of the mill sci-fi film with a flimsy ending and lots of hype .
negative
we 're left with a story that tries to grab us , only to keep letting go at all the wrong moments .
negative
sc2 is an autopilot hollywood concoction lacking in imagination and authentic christmas spirit , yet it 's geared toward an audience full of masters of both .
negative
but it has an ambition to say something about its subjects , but not a willingness .
negative
shows moments of promise but ultimately succumbs to cliches and pat storytelling .
negative
it 's coherent , well shot , and tartly acted , but it wears you down like a dinner guest showing off his doctorate .
negative
it feels like very light errol morris , focusing on eccentricity but failing , ultimately , to make something bigger out of its scrapbook of oddballs .
negative
the one not-so-small problem with expecting is that the entire exercise has no real point .
negative
the laughs are as rare as snake foo yung .
negative
ultimately ... the movie is too heady for children , and too preachy for adults .
negative
mattei 's underdeveloped effort here is nothing but a convenient conveyor belt of brooding personalities that parade about as if they were coming back from stock character camp -- a drowsy drama infatuated by its own pretentious self-examination .
negative
it 's replaced by some dramatic scenes that are jarring and deeply out of place in what could have -lrb- and probably should have -rrb- been a lighthearted comedy .
negative
too slow for a younger crowd , too shallow for an older one .
negative
this is n't a movie ; it 's a symptom .
negative
report card : does n't live up to the exalted tagline - there 's definite room for improvement .
negative
and diesel is n't the actor to save it .
negative
attal 's hang-ups surrounding infidelity are so old-fashioned and , dare i say , outdated , it 's a wonder that he could n't have brought something fresher to the proceedings simply by accident .
negative
imagine susan sontag falling in love with howard stern .
negative
a horror movie with seriously dumb characters , which somewhat dilutes the pleasure of watching them stalked by creepy-crawly bug things that live only in the darkness .
negative
i also believe that resident evil is not it .
negative
the biggest problem with satin rouge is lilia herself .
negative
the movie does such an excellent job of critiquing itself at every faltering half-step of its development that criticizing feels more like commiserating .
negative
it finds no way to entertain or inspire its viewers .
negative
like an afterschool special with costumes by gianni versace , mad love looks better than it feels .
negative
just when you think you are making sense of it , something happens that tells you there is no sense .
negative
the movie is like scorsese 's mean streets redone by someone who ignored it in favor of old ` juvenile delinquent ' paperbacks with titles like leather warriors and switchblade sexpot .
