Fahrenheit 9/11"As a doc*mentary, Fahrenheit 9/11 is a meandering, unfocused and largely unbalanced piece of non-fiction filmmaking. However, as one patriot’s passionate, wide-ranging soliloquy to America, the film is a brutally effective prayer for uncensored truth and change. "

Spider-Man 2"The film is larger in every way than its already sizeable predecessor, yet succeeds at being widely more intimate. Finely scripted and superbly performed, the film never fails to include true moments of character between its lavishly filmed action sequences..."

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"Overall, Azkaban succeeds in being both suspenseful and cheerful, dark yet wonderfully bright – a delightful film – the best book in the series and, for the moment, the best film in the lot."

Secret Window"While the film may be far from perfect, Secret Window offers a well-acted and tautly-directed thriller of substantial depth and character."

The Dreamers"Watching The Dreamers is like taking a nap with your eyes open, but the dream, while it lasts, has value enough to remember.

Big Fish"It is rare to find a film that not only improves upon the book of its origin, but somehow seems to complete it, as if the short novella by Daniel Wallace which first began Big Fish was only the smallest part of its intention."
