Christopher Plummer

Cutesy stuff, breezily amusing but...a basically weightless and disposable date movie.

Lee is a bona fide cinematic genius, and his lively and inventive take on tired material proves that thriller corn needn't be mindless in its machinations.

Reveries and fever dreams of early America--Malick casts not for dry history but a psychic projection of spirit from beyond the centuries.

The Lake House is made of glass, but the view straight through it is rather pleasant all the same.

Succeeds in giving the general impression of a pivotal historical moment, and excels in crafting some of the most astonishing aerial-warfare sequences ever put on film.

Gilliam's polarizing style is at its near-best...a dazzling feat of storytelling that bristles with provocative ideas.

It's beginning to seem as if Pixar's delivery of one of the very best films of the year will be an unstoppable annual tradition.

One senses Acker stretching his eleven-minute short rather than containing bigger ideas and characters who have taken on lives of their own: 9 too clearly puts style over substance.

Endearingly packed to the rafters with ornate anachronistic artistry, Gilliam’s Imaginarium is a great place to window shop—and get lost for a spell.

Winds up feeling strangely perfunctory. This is subject matter that should fascinate, rather than deliver an occasional droll observation.

The Sound of Music is high-fructose corn-syrupy, built on simplistic psychology, unnaturalistic acting and historical inaccuracy. It's also well-nigh irresistible.

Kipling's exhilarating and disconcerting tale of high adventure...

Cuts the whimsy with melancholy...its case of the cutes isn’t terminal.

Fincher is perfectly suited to the material, with its voluminous clues to be organized and parsed, its emotional austerity, and its serial murder, rape, and sundry sick plot twists.

Much in it is invented or misrepresented...more easily forgiveable if the film had any subtlety or depth, but this ain’t that kind of party: it’s a wannabe thriller that unnecessarily stretches its running time along with the truth.

Knives Out cannot help but be fanciful fun, particularly for murder-mystery fans...Johnson adds ballast to what would otherwise be a lightweight tale by suggesting sociopolitical allegory.
