Critic consensus:Fright Night deftly combines thrills and humor in this ghostly tale about a man living next to a vampire.

Numbered reviews:1. Its tone is never exactly comedic and its horrific touches are more disgusting than scary.
2. For my money, Chris Sarandon makes the best vampire in movie history.
3. Surprisingly cheeky horror film that makes for good repeated viewings
4. Classic vampire movie, goofy scarefest before Scream did it.
5. Fright Night is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished.
6. A darn solid little vampire flick. Mixes horror, comedy and affection for the genre into one tasty dish. And Roddy's just great in this one.
7. Fright Night is a tidy little contemporary variation on the vampire horror movie.
8. Makes up for a dearth of scares with cheeky self-referentiality.
9. Neatly parodying Hitchcock and John Hughes movies, writer/director Tom Holland litters his rattling story with as many laughs as jolts.
10. Fright Night dances on a tightwire between satire and terror, glittered by special effects and a with-it nonchalance.


Critic consensus:Funny People features the requisite humor, as well as considerable emotional depth, resulting in Judd Apatow's most mature film to date.

Numbered reviews:1. If you don't mind spending (alot of) time with some interesting characters, check it out. Just don't expect a focused story. (The first half of this is still really good though)
2. Rule number one for a comedy: If you need a character to say 'That's funny' after a lot of your jokes, they're probably not all that funny.
3. Even on "The View" the day before the film opens, the ladies wondered whether men really talk about their own junk (and their friend's package) as much as they do in the movie, and whether women actually find that funny.
4. In its home stretch, Funny People's action drags so unnecessarily that it ... drains any impact from its refreshingly pragmatic view of second chances.
5. ... a dark comedy that doesn't provide nearly enough laughs to make us embrace the nasty vibe
6. Funny People clicks best when the emphasis is on the funny, not on the people.
7. as interested in dissecting the psychology behind the jokes as telling them.
8. The film does a lot of things that Apatow's previous work did... but is almost ruined by a too-long running time and a third act that seems to drag on forever.
9. Funny People feels insular, as if Apatow's whole world consists of nerdy jokesters who were angry, lonely kids who got rich beyond their dreams... but are deep down still angry.
10. Funny People is leisurely, with many extended sequences, but the performers' natural command of rhythm holds it in tension.


Critic consensus:Orlando can't match its visual delights with equally hefty narrative -- but it's so much fun to watch that it doesn't need to.

Numbered reviews:
1. The movie deconstructs Woolf in a smug, didactic way, using her whimsical fantasy as the vehicle for a belabored satirical assault upon "the patriarchy."
2. It is a time-tripping, gender-bending fantasia with a cunning feminist edge, featuring the strikingly androgynous Tilda Swinton in the title role.
3. Compared with Potter's bold, beautiful, original, and witty first feature, The Gold Diggers, this is safe, crowd-flattering stuff, the Driving Miss Daisy of art pictures -- a film with practically no ideas at all, but lots of fancy trimmings.
4. It wanders from the frozen London of the 1600s to the battlefields of World War I and has fun all the way. You haven't seen anything like it.
5. Written and directed by Sally Potter, Orlando takes a droll approach to subject matter usually attended by the utmost solemnity.
6. What it perhaps lacks in content, the film more than makes up for in its stunning design and accesible, humorous approach.
7. It seems just as fresh, spry and quirky now as it did back then.
8. Sally Potter has made a beautiful, if decidedly wobbly, movie out of Virginia Woolfs novel about a 16th-century nobleman who evolves, across some 400 years, into a modern woman in her mid-30s. Swinton plays both male and female Orlando with cool humor.
9. Tilda Swinton's performance as Orlando in this adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel is luminous and thrilling, an omnisexual romp through 400 years of history.
10. Suffocatingly beautiful, Orlando is a precious trifle whose literary pedigree intimidated audiences into ignoring its sublime silliness.
