, and Career Highlights
Feux rouges (Red Lights) (2004)
Red Lights
bristles with subcutaneous fear at signals which Hollywood thrillers routinely run.
Tarnation (2004)
Tarnation
is some kind of triumph of personal expression [but] also maddening at times in Caouette's lack of restraint...defiantly [is] what it is: one of a kind.
Shark Tale (2004)
Is the fish fresh?...
Shark Tale
believes it can foist off high-speed energy in the place of wit.
Ladder 49 (2004)
Conventional, lacking in depth, and reliant on the artifical tension of action scenes to goose along an otherwise watchable but dull movie.
Hearts and Minds (1974)
Elicits a palpable emotional and intellectual effect...strikes the same sad note of discord forty years later.
elary (2004)
World War II and its attendant local metaphors serve as MacGuffins for a quiet tale of two people, if only Trojan would keep his focus on them.
First Daughter (2004)
Though you might think this Forest Whitaker film (yeah, you read that right) has more going for it than the other 274 cookie-cutter fairy-tale comedies...you'd be wrong.
A Dirty Shame (2004)
Takes apart conservative middle-class society by opening the floodgates of sexual desire...a non-stop cavalcade of fetishes, novelty songs, and bawdy slang.
Wimbledon (2004)
The generic parallel plots of sports-movie suspense and falling-in-love sap squeeze stars Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst together like so much peanut butter and jelly.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
Though the exercise is ultimately empty,
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
must be seen to be disbelieved, so off you go.
Mr. 3000 (2004)
Bernie Mac's...vehicle may be more like an Acura than a Porsche, but it gets decent mileage out of its mildly funny character comedy.
Cellular (2004)
We here at New Line Cellular...have the plan for you!...92 inflexible real-time minutes that are sure to pump up your fast-paced, action-packed lifestyle.
Head in the Clouds (2004)
Flashes of wit [aside]...flimsy narration and flaccid acting (particularly from Townsend in a central role) do nothing to bolster this well-intentioned but forgettable film.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
With apologies to Joe Bob...Countless dead bodies. Six breasts...Beer-swilling cowboy zombie-sniper. Demon dogs...Gratuitous accents...Graveyard Fu...
Gokudô kyôfu dai-gekijô (Gozu) (2004)
The absurdist staging suggests a kind of magic surrealism; Miike literally turns homosexual panic inside out.
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)
Roughly equivalent to the
Matrix
sequels: drama-starved dazzle and irresolute interrogation.
Vanity Fair (2004)
Taking a cue from Thackeray's spry, witty, self-referential narration, Indian director Nair emphasizes the allusions to her native country...as a land of exotic escape...
Bright Young Things (2004)
Easy come, easy go...has the right satirical snap, energetic pace, and likeable performances to stay consistently amusing.
Criminal (2004)
By the end, those who haven't seen
Nine Queens
may applaud the entertaining sleight-of-hand...those who have may lament that
Criminal
is the proverbial old dog.
Paparazzi (2004)
A sleazy thriller which takes celebrity photo hounds to task for being sleazy...As in Gibson's...
Payback
, and others, the evil-doers must pay, Old Testament-style...
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004)
Fearless extremity...Brotherhood finally coalesces into an inescapable metaphor illustrating the madness of civil war.
Wicker Park (2004)
An interesting formal exercise: exceedingly hard to swallow, but quietly engrossing...deserves style points for sticking to an unconventional narrative.
Yes Nurse! No Nurse! (2004)
Perhaps it's all in the translation, but
Yes Nurse! No Nurse!
makes only a so-so musical...[enhanced by] campy, candy-colored design...
Rosenstrasse (2004)
Von Trotta's conceptual successes rarely translate into dramatic ones...Nevertheless, Von Trotta makes her points...while illuminating a subcultural story of the Holocaust.

Walter Salles on
The Motorcycle Diaries
and Career Highlights
Mean Creek (2004)
Estes's film casts prismatic light on the persistent issues of bullying, youth violence, and their mortal and emotional consequences.
Suspect Zero (2004)
Plays like a David Lynch movie thwarted by studio-mandated rewrites and...executives hoping for another
Se7en
but willing to settle for another
Taking Lives
.
Uncovered: The Truth About the Iraq War (2004)
Cogent...this too-rare piece of skeptical journalism may play a significant role in our consideration of this moment in history.
Broadway: The Golden Age—By the Legends Who Were There (2004)
Benji: Off the Leash! (2004)
Good intentions aside, the return of writer-director-producer Joe Camp's "Benji" is terminally boring.
The Village (2004)
A well-meaning, half-hour
Twilight Zone
episode stretched to the outer limits of a two-hour feature.
The United States of Leland (2004)
The Terminal (2004)
The Reckoning (2004)
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
Toy tiaras for orphans! (the first one's always free)...Another day, another dollar for Disney's lucrative business of breeding...ever-longing dream princesses.
The Prince and Me (2004)
The Pledge (2001)
The Perfect Score (2004)
The Notebook (2004)
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
An "A" for effort...Still, the frayed plot strands of the 2004
Manchurian Candidate
make it a lame duck to Frankenheimer's first-term thriller.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Adheres to the popular tastes of its time; since this is an era of color-corrected, 5.1-surround-sound, pseudo-spiritual action epics, Gibson zealously tells his tale in action-movie language.
The Ladykillers (1955)
The Hunting of the President (2004)
The Fog of War (2003)
