Basic Instinct 2
This wholly unwarranted sequel is so outrageously preposterous (and chockablock with bad dialogue) that the end result achieves a basement grandeur of near-epic proportions.
"...(and so very chockablock with quotable examples of the fine art of bad dialogue) that the end result achieves..."

The Shaggy Dog
There are precious few surprises here, but this breezy remake starring Tim Allen is a painless affair.
"...Improvement line of comedy, but he does dog just fine. One particularly choice sequence has him discovering the overwhelming..."

Aquamarine
Based on a young adult novel by Alice Hoffman, the film is about two best girlfriends who meet up with … a mermaid!
"...fall in love with this lifeguard who is really fine and never wears a shirt, okay? But you know..."

March 3, 2006 Movie Review by Marrit Ingman

Firewall
This high-tech heist thriller is like a For Dummies guide to the genre.
"...blond mama bear, and the supporting cast is also fine. Bettany is appropriately oily as the gang’s Saville Row..."

Feb. 17, 2006 Movie Review by Marrit Ingman

Casanova
Hallström’s latest is fine but unambitious, content with what it is – an arthouse trifle with tricorner hats, corsets, and powdered wigs.
"...Platt, Lena Olin and Omid Djalili. Hallström’s latest is fine but unambitious, content with what it is – an..."

The Producers
The film's wonderfully over-the-top performances often feel constrained by first-time film director Susan Stroman, whose inexperience behind the camera is all too apparent.
"...1968 comedy The Producers, a film that walked the fine line between the offensive and the funny with riotous..."

Dec. 30, 2005 Movie Review by Steve Davis

The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam
Houston-based, Iranian-born filmmaker Mashayekh relates the story of the pioneering 11th-century mathematician, astronomer, and poet, and reminds Western audiences that there’s more to Iran and the Middle East than suicide bombers and hummus.
"...first man on the moon and, minus his equally fine ear for a handsome turn of phrase, no Rubaiyatt...."

Dec. 23, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Dancing in Twilight
This intercultural Houston-made film is an off-the-beaten-path ensemble drama that shows a healthy disregard for Hollywood rules.
"...Dark and Deadly – but they’ve also got a fine cast, a lot of heart, and a healthy disregard..."

Nov. 4, 2005 Movie Review by Marrit Ingman

National Lampoon's Adam & Eve
More collegiate humor released by the folks at the Lampoon that has more hormonal smarts than necessary and about as many sex and toilet gags as you suspect.
"...sex and toilet gags as you'd likely suspect. The fine Cameron Douglas, son of Michael, plays Adam, who falls..."

Nov. 4, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Saw II
With nary a decent, connective character in sight, this nasty sequel quickly becomes little more than a strenuous battle for survival among the already damned.
"...characters into oblivion. At the latter it does a fine job, dispatching an octet of strangers, who have awoken..."

Oct. 28, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

The Legend of Zorro
Whereas the Zorro of yore was a cunning subversive with a libidinous guerrilla panache, this new take with a tyke added is more like Leave It to Zorro.
"...alienates those fans who found the original material just fine sans Fauntleroy-isms, as is the case with this puling,..."

Oct. 28, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Domino
Attention-deficit filmmaking reaches a new pinnacle in Tony Scott's hyperstylized portrait of a bounty hunter as an iconic bad girl.
"...events in a complicated caper gone terribly wrong. The fine cast offers a who’s who of indelible performances (most..."

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
This new animated comedy is a brilliantly conceived and executed bit of Brit wit, perfect for both kids and their parents and anyone even remotely interested in laughing themselves silly.
"...animation, Disney, DreamWorks, et al.: Between Tim Burton’s smashingly fine Corpse Bride and this excellent new outing from Nick..."

Tony Takitani
This adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s eponymous short story is a delicate little curio, lighter than air and gravely philosophical at once.
"...been taken with it, and its two stars are fine in their dual roles. Tony (Ogata) is the introverted..."

Daltry Calhoun
Johnny Knoxville stars in this slapdash tale of wacky Southerners and midlife crises that feels like a compilation reel of Blue Collar TV outtakes and Coen Brothers-lite quirkiness.
"...of wacky Southerners and midlife crises that boasts several fine performances but, on the whole, feels like a compilation..."

Sept. 23, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Heights
This intersecting story that follows a half-dozen New Yorkers over the course of one long day and night is intellectually engaging and genuinely surprising, although not terribly risky.
"...glaringly wrong with the film. The performances are all fine (Marsden is especially good). The film is ably shot,..."

July 15, 2005 Movie Review by Kimberley Jones

Paheli
The Hindi megastar Shahrukh Khan and the arthouse director Amol Palekar combine forces for this new Bollywood fable.
"...stars remain undented. There’s more to recommend: M.M. Kreem’s fine music (melding traditional Rajasthani instrumentation and a dancehall beat),..."

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
Well-considered, beautifully made, and often gripping in its narrative, this film examines a man's complex relationship with a flock of wild parrots.
"...world of dedicated scientific inquiry, which makes it a fine choice for all-ages viewing. Though Irving is a nature..."

Red Lights
Leave it to the French to fashion an anguished psychological thriller that, in its last moments, also turns out to be a tender love story.
"...children from summer camp. On the surface, everything seems fine, but it soon becomes clear that there are some..."

After the Sunset
Possibly the ideal film to more or less ignore while lounging poolside and sipping Jamaican rum, After the Sunset is 100-proof pap.
"...nods in Alfred Hitchcock’s direction does not necessarily a fine caper make. While a couple of references to the..."

Lightning in a Bottle
Ostensibly a record of one mighty blues show, this film goes beyond the tag of concert film and achieves something more: a living history lesson, tracing the evolving sound of the blues.
"...director of Training Day, who proves he's still a fine orchestrator of music videos – even if all he..."

Vanity Fair
Disappointing screen adaptation lacks the novel's satiric edge.
"...The problem lies not with the casting: Witherspoon is fine in the role, her English accent acceptable, and her..."

Facing Windows
Overburdened domestic drama from Italy still features some great performances.

The Agronomist
Jonathan Demme's riveting documentary about slain Haitian populist and radio personality Jean Dominique.

Breakin' All the Rules
Despite the title of this sugar-coated fluffbomb of an urban romantic comedy, precious few rules are broken, cinematically speaking, during its quick, painless 90 minutes.
"...in the penning of a how-to manual on the fine art of dumping them before they dump you (in..."

Mean Girls
Clique comedy about teen groupthink lacks real bite.

The Whole Ten Yards
This Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, and Amanda Peet sequel falls several yards short of its mark.
"...heralded by kooky klezmer riffs in the score. That’s fine, I guess. But what in the shit is this..."
