question: Led by energetic performances from Nicolas Cage and Cher, Moonstruck is an exuberantly funny tribute to love and one of the decade's most appealing comedies.

numbered reviews: 1. What can I say? This is a very good warm comedy for just about any audience.
2. Explores the different shades of love in humanistic and hilarious ways
3. Simply stated, it is difficult not to be swept up by this charming picture.
4. Stronger on mores than amore, a half smile for a summer night.
5. A rich and witty romantic comedy with a perfecto monologue from Nicolas Cage.
6. Cher and Cage are very fine in this romantic comedy directed by Norman Jewison.
7. Most of the show belongs to Cher and Cage, both of whom are at their energetic best.
8. Elegantly designed and acted with verve, even though the story and concept are frustratingly minor.
9. spends so much time reminding us what a quaint and cute little movie we're watching that our interest isn't required
10. A warm and funny little ensemble piece that still holds up pretty darn well after almost 20 years.


question: Looking for Richard a smart, fascinating behind-the-scenes look at adapting Shakespeare.

numbered reviews: 1. It is a noble goal Pacino has set for himself, but there is something inherently contradictory about the way he has chosen to go about achieving it.
2. The film is an effective ride, pulling you into the thrill of the production,inviting you to roll with the language, and demonstrating again Shakespeare's enduring kick.
3. While there's no harm in attempting to make Shakespeare more accessible, it's hard to imagine this film exciting anyone except Pacino's fans and those who are fatally charmed by celebrity actors.
4. Pacino makes looking for Richard a great adventure and outrageous fun.
5. At times, the film seems like a documentary, and other times it is more staged, but it is playful and entertaining most of the time, and always instructive.
6. An astute, funny, loving and occasionally even beautiful documentary about actors preparing to do a play.
7. Not an easy task, but worth the effort.
8. The last half-hour drags.
9. Do you love Shakespeare? Are you fascinated by the actor's craft? Mad about classical theater? Have I got a movie for you.
10. A thrill, for the Shakespearean novice and expert alike.


question: Though its characterizations are weaker than usual, Treasure Planet offers a fast-paced, beautifully rendered vision of outer space.

numbered reviews: 1. Inventive alien creatures are voiced by top-notch talent like Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce and Martin Short, while the lack of songs and updated character issues, including single parenthood, money and juvenile crime, keep the whole thing pretty hip.
2. I think kids will find it really entertaining, and parents will find it amusing enough.
3. Not since Mulan (or, quite possibly, even The Hunchback of Notre Dame) has there been a Disney cartoon so casual about its own brilliance...
4. Most Disney flicks work on an adult level; I don't feel like I need a kid to lug into the theatre with me. This time, I felt like I needed a kid.
5. The studio may be taking a monetary risk by straying from its musical formula, but it can rest assured that in doing so it's delivered a pleasing entertainment.
6. Half Star Wars and half Classics Illustrated, Disney's Treasure Planet is a total blast, filled with animation dazzle and imaginative storytelling.
7. Where we kids of all ages ought to be eagerly running out, hearts pounding and faces flushed with excitement, to hoist the Jolly Roger in the backyard, all we can do is reel from having the warm fuzzies mercilessly pounded into us.
8. The overall tone of this rocket-paced updating is exhilaratingly giddy, making it by far Disney's best animated film since Mulan.
9. While the artwork in the film is very good, the story is curiously cool and emotionally uninvolving.
10. Treasure Planet is certainly suffering from creative schizophrenia.


question: Though its heady themes are a departure from its predecessor, The Matrix Reloaded is a worthy sequel packed with popcorn-friendly thrills.

numbered reviews:
1. The film is so intellectually complex, so stimulating, that multiple viewings are required -- perhaps a calculated move on the Wachowskis' part for one of the most anticipated films of the year, if not the era.
2. I'm pleased to report [the Brothers Wachowski] pulled it off. And the testicular fortitude required to pull off the film I've just seen boggles the mind.
3. You don't have to buy into the geeky mythmaking in The Matrix Reloaded in order to enjoy its kinetic pleasures.
4. There's only so much Rubik's Cubism a film can handle, and Reloaded is awash in sci-fi and religious overtones that continually bog down the film's forward motion.
5. . I watched The Matrix to freshen up on all that coolness the night before seeing Reloaded. I would still watch it again over this. .
6. Highly pretentious and overly serious yet a feast for the eyes with groundbreaking effects and action sequences.
7. An often breathtaking array of action sequences that are so exuberantly entertaining, it's impossible not to get swept up in the considerable excitement the Wachowskis generate.
8. Cool, smart fun that lives up to its predecessor, with only a couple of slow spots.
9. The low point occurs when the unwashed masses of Zion celebrate Neo's return with what appears to be the previously unknown Dirty Dancing rave sequence from 'One Million Years B.C.'
10. 'The dust-ups in The Matrix Reloaded would make Gene Kelly weep.'
