"This is a very watchable movie, but in the end it's like realizing you've spent a couple of hours in the company of an outwardly civilized jerk."

"'The Next Karate Kid' is harmless as children's entertainment, but for 104 very long minutes, there isn't a recognizable human being in sight."  

"This sobering account of a 1972 Andes plane crash has a spiritual quality that makes the tougher aspects of the story easier to handle."

"'Stranded' is a magnificent achievement: a true nonfiction epic that makes its predecessors seem puny."

"Get out your handkerchiefs, but don’t expect to believe a minute of this vastly improbable tale."  

"The film benefits greatly from the use of three totally authentic ship replicas, but the real thing -- as presented in the PBS series about Columbus -- is still much more inspiring."  

"Four stories derived from traditional African folk tales have been strikingly animated, with just enough scares to keep small eyes glued to the screen."

"Binoche gets a chance to demonstrate her on-screen radiance with subtlety and amplitude."

"While the limitations of the budget occasionally show, the elegantly appropriate photography, quirky performances and Haynes' unique vision carry the day. He is clearly a director to watch."

"Absorbing 1958 adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play about lonely people at a British seaside hotel."

"Throw in the striking underwater photography and Michel Legrand's big score, and I don't understand why more critics don't dig 'Ice Station Zebra'. Even director John Carpenter calls it a guilty pleasure"

"So the ship models look like something from your bathtub; it's magnificent for an 80-year-old movie."

"Today it seems remote and overblown, with Bergman, Young's score and Ray Rennahan's muted color photography the chief compensating factors. "

"A civilized summer entertainment that never quite transcends its genre."
