Ultimately pointless exercise in guerilla filmmaking finds two vacationing divers stranded at sea after a miscount by a criminally lax scuba crew.

After sports movies, Kevin Costner is most at home on the range. Here, the actor-director returns to the territory that won him an Oscar with mixed results.

Hong Kong writer, producer, director, star Stephen Chow pulls out all the stops in this screwball parody of everything kung fu movies stand (and fight) for. While the film eventually degenerates into standard combat one-upmanship, Mr. Chow keeps the gags flying almost as rapidly as the fists.

Writer-director Bill Condon's quietly impressive biopic of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the pioneer of human sexuality research, is nearly as clinical in its storytelling as the man was in his research - which, as the doctor learned, can be both a strength and a weakness. Liam Neeson and Laura Linney are in fine fighting form as the doctor and his wife.

I don't claim to be an Arthurian scholar, but I find it hard to believe that anything in this paper-thin, Jerry Bruckheimer-produced take on the legendary character is any closer to the 'true story' than, say, "Excalibur," "Camelot" or even "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (well, except for the singing).

Twenty years after creating 'Miami Vice,' Michael Mann is still making stylish and highly implausible cop thrillers, this one featuring electric performances from Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx as a hitman and the cabbie he hires during one long night in LA.

An Mtv-style make-over removes none of the cheese from the perennial 70s favorite. It also adds no plot or substance.

Surprisingly effective thriller, from the people who brought you the equally techno-centric, but less interesting, "Phone Booth", is propelled by a non-stop script and solid performances from the entire cast.

In the process of creating a modest - and potentially dull - documentary about a New York birthday clown, first-time director Andrew Jarecki stumbled upon a goldmine of backstory about his subject's family, the patriarch of which is a convicted child molester. The resulting film, intercut with home video footage is an uneven but exceedingly fascinating portrait of a family unraveling from the inside out.

Relentlessly gripping, intense documentary about the 4 hour standoff between Rio de Janeiro police and one desperate young man with a busload of hostages. Using interviews and the real footage recorded during the highest ratings event in Brazilian TV history, filmmakers Felipe Lacerda and Jose Padilha turn this tragedy of errors into a commentary on culture and society on a global scale.

Though his facts are sometimes biased, his targets undeserving and his tangents amusing but irrelevant, Michael Moore still concocts provocative documentaries like no one else.

The charismatic combination of Matt Damon and Franka Potente and the promising (but underwhelming) direction of Doug Liman don't save this Robert Ludlum adaptation from feeling like a retread of countless other spy genre efforts.

A heart-warming, coming-of-age triumph of individuality, which nevertheless validates the importance of familial and cultural bonds.

The life of John Forbes Nash, Jr., the brilliant Nobel Prize winning mathematician and schizophrenic is vividly brought to life by Russell Crowe and director Ron Howard, both working at the height of their respective games.

Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube ably provides the emotional core in this story of a neighborhood barbershop and its assortment of colorful inhabitants, which is a cut above standard hip-hop cinematic fare. And while I respect his attempt to support the ancient Aristotelian Unity of Time (along with his "Friday" series and his popular song "It was a good day"), the film could have trimmed of couple of the obviously padded, Altman-esque subplots.

While I can't claim to be an authority on the facts of the real life events that inspired the book, or the previous three films to bear its title, it seems that this remake is less about generating any real thrills and more about scaring up a quick buck.

In what could be backhandedly described as an 'appropriate' third installment of the "American" series, most characters are relegated to the background, with the notable exception of Seann William Scott's Stifler who is left to run wild like a libido with Tourette's.

The good news is, this long-awaited fanboy favorite - a hybrid of the two waning sci-fi franchises - is only marred by lazy acting, writing and directing. Other than that (oh, and a few lame special effects shots), the result is neither as bad nor as good as it could have been.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore cute their way through another romantic comedy, this one with only a slightly less inspired premise than their previous effort, 'The Wedding Singer'.

Reviews - 2005-04-25 14:46:00
Danny Boyle's so-called reinvention of the 'zombie horror' genre is neither a reinvention nor about zombies. Instead it is a fascinating study of the nature of human survival in the face of a deadly and grotesque plague which turns its victims into blood-spewing cannibals in under 30 seconds. That is, until it degenerates into an incongruous morality tale with an action movie climax that abandons all that came before it.

For once, a Spike Lee movie that doesn't scream out that it's a Spike Lee movie, except in one extraordinary, visceral rant in a bathroom mirror. Oddly, the directionless story of a man's last day of freedom before a 7-year-prison term might have been more interesting if it were Spike'd.
