The Devil Wears Prada
Anne Hathaway is a pretty stick figure in a poor skeleton of a movie.
Lost in Translation
Genius is when you leave actors alone to feel foreign.
Thief
Wait for Mann's one-take break-in scene. He was just getting started.
The Man Who Wasn’t There
Look carefully. Billy Bob's expression never changes. Remarkable.
Scoop
A decent movie with a ghastly wardrobe. Go ahead, blame Scarlett Johansson...
A Prairie Home Companion
Altman's finale falls well short of his best work. Call it hero-worship.
Apocalypto
Guess what? Those old Mayans could get really nasty if provoked...
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Many great sets and much pretty Italy, but talented the movie isn't.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
There's a nasty little satire stirring amid all this fine white trash.
Where the Truth Lies
Secrets, lies, sex, drugs, and Kevin Bacon, with Atom Egoyan directing traffic.
16 Blocks
Donner still has the touch, thanks to weary Willis and hyperkinetic Mos Def.
