Minneapolis Star Tribune

"A devastating, emotionally intense critique of the feudal system's hypocrisy and the warrior's code"

"Despite heaps of talent, this baffling drug-war drama is 'Scarface' meets 'Tree of Life,' and not in a good way. (...) Rating: * (out of 4)"  

"It will have many viewers bucketing tears until they are as dehydrated as Egyptian mummies"  

"The kind of movie where the lulls between jokes are brief and you leave the theater a little happier than when you came in"

"A wonderfully old-school adventure"

"A spellbinding safari into the mind of His Excellency the madman"

"Shyamalan, as usual functioning as writer, director and producer, plays on our expectations like a virtuoso while subverting them"

"While the story lacks focus here and there, the film never feels overplayed. It's a work of bloody style and solid substance (...) Rating: *** (out of four)"  

"Ozu doesn't sentimentalize or condemn; he merely observes human nature with calm and clarity"

"A terrific yarn with strong, rounded characters, agonizing suspense and visceral thrills"  

One of the deepest, most moving dramas in years"

"'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' works the kind of magic that Hollywood rarely displays: It's a sequel that's better than the original"

"If the people who made Scream were half as clever as they seem to think they are, this would be a much smarter movie."

"It's fun in a 'What were they smoking?' kind of way."

"It's likely to remind viewers of Braveheart -- except without the emotion."

"A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half."

"Series television rarely gets better than this... Bochco has been able to maintain the cliché-breaking surprises he has become famous for."  

"Alex P. Keaton grows up in this instantly likable sitcom graced with a solid leading man, a top-notch supporting cast, and a rich premise."

"'Little Nemo's' story is simple; unfortunately, so is the animation. The featured characters are adequately rendered, but the secondary figures tend to be frozen"  

"For the most part, [Leconte] pulls back and lets the two stars do their thing. And they do it marvelously."
