    Captures David Bowie's meticulous identity quest with all the frenetic energy (read: slop) of a wildlife documentary on drugs.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Has a lot to offer as grand entertainment, from surprising battle sequences (plenty of terror, virtually no gore, brief and tasteful digital enhancement) to fine performances.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    We're told that this new version is tweaked and enhanced, with the E.T. puppet digitally smoothed out, and the guns in the meanies' hands removed (silly, but bravo).
    • 35 Metascore

    Rife with silliness, such as the flashbacks within flashbacks of characters who were not with one another at the time, and occasional unintentional laughs -- but it's also a good, raucous kick in the behind, which is literally all it aspires to be

    In tampering with history, these storytellers present to us a rare and wonderful case of enlightenment beyond the accepted truth.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    It's light fantasy, but lovely and astute.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Sharp, smart and robustly engaging film.
    • 46 Metascore

    Maybe Baby is Elton's stab at romantic comedy, and it's a strong feature debut, spiffy, quick-witted and more than a little shocking in its unflinching acknowledgement of English people having sex.

    Arteta targets Middle American ennui with wit, compassion and no shortage of ornery malaise.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Not only is Undercover Brother the funniest spy-thriller since "The Nude Bomb" (oh, behave), it feels like the proper sequel to "The Blues Brothers," crossing all kinds of lines between cartoonish buffoonery and genuine compassion for its characters.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    A happily self-aware body-count flick that's as brutally funny as it is plain-old brutal. A broad slash of scary, sci-fi fun, the project leapfrogs all the Scream and Last Summer junk to carve itself a new, high-tech niche.

    In the realm of B-movies about messing with nature, it's as enjoyable as "Frankenstein Unbound," and unlike, say, "A.I." it's intentionally creepy. It's also occasionally masterful.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    It's pretty safe to say that claustrophobic, gay-themed murder mysteries haven't been this much fun since "Deathtrap."
    • 64 Metascore

    There's just no arguing with 12 centuries of flamenco, and, in this sensuous movie, no resisting it.

    While you think you're watching just another in a series of British gangster films, you may suddenly realize that you're watching what is, thus far, the year's best horror movie.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    As it stands, it's cute, occasionally poignant and outrageously implausible.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Very charming and funny movie.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Despite the presence of several sublimely cracked actors and some of the most abrasive white-trash caricatures since "Raising Arizona," Birch totally owns this movie.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 80 Gregory Weinkauf
    Smart, wry and awesome, all at once.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    What's most impressive about this is that, if one didn't know better, the naturalism of the performances could be taken for that of a documentary.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    You'll laugh a lot, but not without a sense of animal desperation.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    This thing's all in fun. It's just a perfect movie for people who like to shout at the screen, so have at it.
    • 35 Metascore

    The extra-short length is puzzling -- about half an hour has been lopped off the length of the original Canadian release -- but what remains feels whole and wholly satisfying, a rare, successful merging of the obvious and the haunting.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    It's beautiful and obvious, a dubious combination that may nonetheless ensure its success.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    Any story's a good story if it's told well, and this one is, with chuckles to spare.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    It's basically your above-average nice drug movie.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    Pustules, puberty and pregnancy...seven stories tall! Mostly grand but occasionally grody
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    Brando wanders through the movie as if he's tolerating an annoying guest, sweetly charming one minute, detached and obnoxious the next.

    As Rikki, Seda is a model of foul duplicity, and the movie itself is a relative rarity: an intelligent showcase of senseless machismo.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Gregory Weinkauf
    This is a sensitive, thinking person's movie with a lot on its mind.
