[We] talked about Harold and Maude as a tone. Fisher King, I brought that up. And then Alfie and Five Easy Pieces and a few others…We wanted something realistic but funny…moving and emotionally deep.

[McDonagh:] You can never have too much Catholic guilt.

Audiences can be grateful for the unique absurdist dimensions and freewheeling irreverence of Adams, which place the film in its own category of science-fiction comedy.

As the film wears on, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the dry humor from the supposed chills. Consequently, Joshua drifts into camp.

Incorporates Freudian psychodrama, twisted romance, and national satire while giving redemption the Heimlich maneuver.

Entertaining and provocative...a satisfying intellectual bout.

Jones has a very interesting existential idea here, and though he frustratingly doesn’t exploit its every possibility, he does give a great actor an opportunity for a tour-de-force performance.

What can I say about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that the title doesn't economically express?

Showmanship is the order of the day for superhero sequel Iron Man 2, though the flash and dazzle distract from plot machinery that’s more than a little clunky.

Conviction may not much tease the intellect, but one would have to be a rock to be unmoved by the true story’s dramatic arc, well played by Swank and Rockwell.

While the borderline silly material could easily have sunk like a lead balloon, Shelton and her actors sprinkle enough pixie dust to make Laggies fly.

McDonagh’s admirable shading of ostensible heroes and villains backfires as character inconsistency...Nevertheless, Three Billboards wickedly entertains and provokes...

As strikingly original in form as Oliver Stone’s JFK...infotaining Hollywood history that’s equal parts funny and horrifying in its high-stakes political gamesmanship...
