Q: 1. LaBeouf, a soulful-eyed wiseguy with a complex emotional repertoire, keeps the movie interesting even after utter predictability sets in.
2. Okay, so DreamWorks has remade Rear Window with teens, but could it actually be good? Welcome back to the edge of your seat.
3. as an homage to old-fashioned suspense films, you could do a lot worse
4. ...what the director gets right - very right in the move's first two acts - is the ways kids relate and interact in a modern world where iPods and laptops are ubiquitous, where a lot of the world is reducible to digital blips.
5. Rear Window gets a facelift for the iPod generation.
6. Disturbia isn't your first choice this weekend if you're in your 20s or older, but for the crowd who are about the same age as Shia and the gang, this is great Friday night material.
7. If not perfection, "Disturbia" achieves something more than most modern thrillers - the right to describe itself in that genre and a few others. This hodgepodge homage becomes stupid and shrill in its final reel, but it's a nifty good time.
8. LaBeouf and Roemer have a frisky chemistry, and the always-reliable Morse is a delicious devil.
9. Rear Window redone for a more paranoid age, an age that embraces its paranoia as The New Normal, and not something to be disturbiaed about at all.
10. Crisp performances, a creepy bad guy, absorbing plot twists, capable direction, and a script that has some telling points to make about the way we saturate ourselves with media make this thriller, like Kale's neighbors, very watchable.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Aside from its clichéd resolution, Disturbia is a tense, subtle thriller with a noteworthy performance from Shia LaBeouf.
1. It's all just so much filler until we separate the toons from the trash and get some all-animated segments that have that old sneaky magic to them. Not to mention imagination
2. Steve Martin saves this from being truly mediocre, he's great!
3. Th-th-th-th-th-th-that's not all, folks! ... the legendary characters remain as endearingly impish as ever, providing a welcome blast of impudence ...
4. Director Joe Dante ... and screenwriter Larry Doyle have achieved the impossible: they've actually managed to drain every last ounce of irreverent wit and joyful silliness out of the classic Warner Bros. cartoon characters.
5. A fitfully funny mix of animation and live action that spoofs Hollywood without offering a story of its own.
6. Lackluster storytelling and tepid punch lines.
7. How can you hate a movie that puts Bugs Bunny in a flooded convertible and lets him say 'Hey, whaddya know -- I found Nemo!'
8. This movie, with all its hopped-up, sugar-rush action, provides plenty of fun for a young audience. And grown-ups with fond memories of Looney Tunes cartoons might find themselves giggling as well.
9. Pleasant but unoriginal.
10. A double-decker: one deck of entertainment for kids (and teens who don't scoff at kids' movies), another for the grown if not greatly more adult viewers hip to Joe Dante's game plan.
Consensus: The plot is a nonsensical, hyperactive jumble and the gags are relatively uninspired compared to the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
Q: 1. Dryly humorous and wonderfully weird, this is a preternaturally mundane evocation of early 80s nerdery and an almost scary peek at the history of AI.
2. Shot in archaic black-and-white video, Bujalski's weird, sly period film is highly entertaining both as ensemble comedy and an off-the-wall head trip.
3. Entirely original and unprecedented -- a formalist coup that is at once visionary and retro, thoughtful and hilarious.
4. Computer Chess will make you scratch your head and wonder what it's up to - but there's no doubt you'll never have seen a film quite like it.
5. In the end, you simply wish the characters (and the actors) were in a more subtle and focused film. "Computer Chess" plays a risky game. Unfortunately, it loses.
6. A supremely intelligent, beautifully constructed film, interweaving comedy and character, satire and subtext
7. Computer Chess is one of the most original and satisfying movies I've seen in ages.
8. Bujalski gives us a glitchy, geeky 80s Marienbad populated by sex addicts and lolcats, with results that are both funny ha ha, and the other kind.
9. Throw in the bad haircuts, clip-on ties, and some earnest theorizing about the possible uses of these new machines and you have what is apparently meant to be a dry satire.
10. It becomes something that's hard to decipher; hard to put into words in a review. That's a good thing.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: With its delightfully retro production design, Computer Chess is an inventive, intelligent, and humorous comedy that celebrates the eccentricity and uniqueness of its subject.
Q: 1. Victor is great character, played with macho zeal by Leguizamo.
2. An entertaining, colorful, action-filled crime story with an intimate heart.
3. If it takes too many familiar steps, it is still never less than compelling as it walks the well-trod line.
4. Yes, we're walking those mean streets again. Good thing we're taking a few unanticipated turns.
5. Unfortunately, Empire is nothing more than an exhausting retread of the same cliched urban cautionary tale that waxes about rebellion and redemption.
6. The film ends up being derivative of every drug-themed, drug-centered movie we've ever seen, and goes down the same dark unforgiving and predictable path as all the others did.
7. There isn't a redeeming character to be found in Empire which makes it awfully hard to enjoy.
8. What "Empire" lacks in depth it makes up for with its heart.
9. Try as I may, I can't think of a single good reason to see this movie, even though everyone in my group extemporaneously shouted, 'Thank you!' when Leguizamo finally plugged an irritating character late in the movie.
10. A yawningly familiar melodrama about an enterprising hustler who's undone by his own ambitions.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: In terms of the gangster genre, Empire's story is yet another tired retread.
