" Even those who never saw Cukor's movie will feel something is missing in English's version. Yes, some of what's missing is humor and snappy dialogue, but that could be forgiven, if only some of the characters were more believable."

" You want to like almost everyone in this film, but they're all undone by a weak script that really wasn't worth more than a Gilmore Girls subplot after all."

" A very noble movie, which makes it interesting at times, but not often enough."

" With a subject like Roman Polanski, you don't really need to do much to capture audience interest. But maybe that's the reason Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired doesn't live up to its promise."

" Those waiting for the arrival of the next Juno may want to skip Charlie Bartlett, a relentlessly earnest teen film about a 17-year-old misfit who's been tossed out of one prep school after another for bad behavior."

" Some may think the metaphoric possibilities of an incurable illness that can be transmitted through sexual contact have been all but exhausted. Director André Téchiné almost proves otherwise in The Witnesses, a kind of film opera without music."

" How She Move isn't a great film or even a terribly well-made film, but it has its moments and, of course, it has the ending it's promised all along."

" In the end, you will believe the film's talking heads, but, more than likely, what they say may still make little logical sense to you."

" This is a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first."

" Give me a bit of the old ultraviolence any day. Just make me care about it."

" Despite the flabby direction and uninspired plot, The Perfect Holiday almost works because Chestnut and Union are an attractive couple and you want them to get together."

" For its first 45 minutes or so, and intermittently thereafter, Michael Schroeder's Man in the Chair feels, annoyingly, like a film school project."

" The film is too short because the characters just aren't sufficiently developed, but even at a scant 90 minutes, it feels way too long."

" The film isn't very interesting because it isn't well made."

" The movie's spectacular scenery and compelling message counterbalance the somewhat plodding pace and wooden performances by a cast of nonactors."

" Chalk is a gentle mockumentary about high school teachers -- so gentle, you wonder why anyone bothered. So gentle, it verges on 'what's the point?'"

" The film would have worked better if it had stuck more closely to real estate as both the source and target of the satire."

" For much of the way, These Foolish Things not only drips with catty dialogue, it fairly overflows, so much so that you half wonder if it's meant to be a satire. Alas, no."

These Foolish Things (2006)n/a

2/4
 
" As a character, X is rather reticent and buttoned-up. If he'd stayed that way as a narrator, a rather nice film would have been even better."
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Boy Culture (2007)70%
/
2/4
 
" In the end, the film's bigger challenge isn't its length, or its deliberate pace: It's that it's overly freighted with symbolism and meaning."

" Loïc (Pierre Chatagny) is not only stupid, he's dull and uninteresting, as well as uninterested in the world around him."
