Paul Giamatti

In vino veritas...Payne has supplanted the Coen Brothers as a reliable purveyor of smart comedy

Cinderella Man may not be subtle, but it's reminiscent of the well-crafted popular entertainments of Hollywood's Golden Age, blarney and all.

I hated Lady in the Water, but not because Shyamalan took a sophomoric potshot at critics. I hated Lady in the Water because it's...stupid.

Burger winningly combines relatively rare elements--a turn-of-the-century setting, an assured star turn by Edward Norton, and a deft Philip Glass score--to pull off a tricked-out romantic thriller.

Has an ace in its anthill...political allegory that separates this one from the pack.

Though the film teases questions that would spark a child’s imagination, they’re all dropped like hot potatoes in favor of cheap infusions of dancing, slapstick, and...cartoon sound effects.

The epic sweep supports thoughtful reflection on the evolution of a fragile early republic...and the fragile ego of the man crucial to its existence.

The film's greatest pleasure is in the snappy dialogue Gilroy crafts for the capable duo of Roberts and Owen...

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

Since Barney’s Version is nothing if not a character study, Giamatti is the surly, sarcastic selling point.

McCarthy does a fine job of juggling the domestic mystery, situational comedy, and inevitable drama, and his terrific cast is well-suited to the deadpan ethical satire.

Shankman's frappé of '80s rock is hideous, but weirdly fascinating...this is a movie you'll never be able to un-see, so think carefully...

Kids...will probably ho-hum their way through Turbo happily enough and forget it moments later. But they deserve better, too, than this lackluster, generic kiddie flick.

The film succeeds by simply, plainly placing audiences in the emotional crucible of pre-abolition America and firing their imaginations.

Please steer away your loved ones from this tone-deaf travesty, this misbegotten farrago, this offensive, rank, charmless, near-lifeless, anti-romantic twaddle, a classic tale 'told by an idiot.' Want to know what I really think?

Succeeds in being a largely well-produced comic-book movie extravaganza, but its weighty baggage may leave audiences wishing it had traveled light.

Honorable...deeply moving...takes a considered approach to Wilson, sound in dramatic and editorial construction and insightful in its psychological subtexts.

Succeeds at exploiting a proven disaster-movie formula without troubling itself much with little things like plot, character, and dialogue.
