question: You don't have to be a soccer fan to enjoy this stylish, breezy slice of 1970s sports history.

numbered reviews: 1. This is not an exercise in fabricated nostalgia, but a raucous chronicle of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.
2. A spot-on goal.
3. Through interviews with former players, coaches, and company officials, as well as archival footage, the film traces the club's amazing rise and ultimate disintegration.
4. Another soccer film? Buy, hey, it's about a NEW YORK soccer team, glorifying the late Steve Ross, the number one corporate viper! For those who believe the world ends at the Hudson River only.
5. Lively, free-wheeling amusement.
6. A slick, gossipy documentary that pulses to the strains of James Brown, Parliament and the Love Unlimited Orchestra as it glosses over facts to make its questionable case for the Cosmos.
7. How that dream was realized and what factors brought it and its league to a horrific crash scarcely a decade later is the intriguing drama that directors Paul Crowder and John Dower are able to reconstruct.
8. An energetic and often enjoyable documentary, particularly for soccer fans.
9. Once in a Lifetime does a wonderful job of showing that this collection of foreigners playing a foreign sport forged one of the great American sports stories.
10. The movie is only so-so, borrowing a little from the VH-1 school of popumentary but lacking the snazzy production values.


question: Sleepy Hollow entertains with its stunning visuals and creepy atmosphere.

numbered reviews: 1. Burton has picked up his considerable imagination and shaken it, but not much came out.
2. More about scenery than people.
3. Weighed down by a choppy script and a confusing story.
4. Predictability is just one of the problems with the script -- which is riddled with holes.
5. Both sleepy and hollow.
6. In many ways, Sleepy Hollow is the most direct, least pretentious film Burton has made since Beetlejuice. But that doesn't mean it isn't infused with Burtonian cliches.
7. Solamente una película más en la filmografía de Tim Burton
8. Without Depp's appeal or Burton's sense of humor and wildly creative style to buoy it, this script would play like one of those over-produced, under-intelligent literature plunders that TV networks run during sweeps week.
9. Unpleasantly ugly.
10. A horror story without much horror.


question: Blending hand-to-hand combat with breathtaking stunts and slapstick comedy, Supercop reminds us why Jackie Chan is one of the world's great entertainers.

numbered reviews: 1. Chan is fun to watch, no matter what silliness one has to put up with.
2. A super-charged, bang-up action flick the likes of which most Americans still have never seen.
3. An astonishingly fluid and funny movie that makes most American action pictures seem lethargic.
4. Jackie Chan makes his second leap at the American movie audience, following up Rumble in the Bronx with a far sharper mix of stunts, martial arts and Chan's own brand of breathtaking slapstick comedy.
5. Capable female action stars are a non-entity in Hollywood, but Khan packs a wallop both literally and in her screen presence.
6. Supercop is a better movie than Rumble in the Bronx, in large part because it's funnier.
7. Raucous, hilarious, and choreographed with breathtaking daring and subtlety, Supercop kicks ass with charm and wit.
8. Super thrills, super spills, super laughs and super stunts.
9. With martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, older may be better.
10. The plot is nothing more than an excuse for the series of spectacular action sequences in which Chan shows both his physical skills and great sense of humour.


question: My Winnipeg is a charmingly irreverent 'docu-fantasy' from the unpredictable mind of Guy Maddin.

numbered reviews:
1. Maddin is a real film-maker with a confident, fluent movie language that is evolving in fascinating directions.
2. Guy Maddin docu about his hometown gives fans everything they'd expect, plus a few moments of unexpected sincerity.
3. Maddin mixes personal reminiscences with elaborate fantasies of Masonic rituals and collectivist brothels, to construct a vision of Winnipeg as a city of sleepwalkers.
4. A remembrance of things forgotten.
5. Maddin's exploration of his dysfunctional family life mirrors the crumbling facade of this major city. The symbolism is potent; the skill with which Maddin applies it, masterful.
6. Presented with such dreamlike flourish and humor that watching the movie is extremely entertaining.
7. It's so personal and so funny and so moving. Guy Maddin uses cinematic arts and crafts to convey his feelings about his home town
8. Leaves one alternately giddy and groggy
9. My Winnipeg is too funny and touching to be labeled purely experimental. It's magical, but the type of movie magic all can enjoy, if they only take a walk through the winter wonderland known as Winnipeg.
10. It'll stay with you and haunt you in the best possible way long after you left the cinema.
