1. I loved every frame of Solaris. I'm just not sure why.
2. A tedious, self-indulgent attempt to revisit Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
3. While there are some tremendous performances here, Davis is a real hoot, nothing all that much happens.
4. The filmmaking is extraordinarily assured, and any credible attempt to keep science fiction from becoming exclusively the province of 13-year-olds is welcome.
5. This cold, occasionally dull movie practically defies you to embrace it.
6. So beautifully made (everything in it is understated except the gorgeous good looks of its stars) and turns out to have such real cumulative power that it is worth holding out to the end.
7. Soderbergh seems capable only of delivering artfully lighted, earnest inquiries that lack the kind of genuine depth that would make them redeemable.
8. For all its flaws, though, Solaris is a good try and a definite improvement over the dull remakes Soderbergh's been sleepwalking through lately.
9. Finely crafted and executed, this is one of those rare movies that will get you talking after it's over.
10. A shrewdly pared-down version that confines its focus to a single issue for the ages: the nature of romantic passion.
Slow-moving, cerebral, and ambiguous, Solaris is not a movie for everyone, but it offers intriguing issues to ponder.

1. Plays like a more polished but less effective twin to the 2005 Danish original.
2. Feels contrived,rather than organic. It's like a cynical attempt to make movie version of a downbeat Bruce Springsteen song.
3. Brothers is a powerful statement on loyalty, love and the cost of war.
4. Sheridan pulls you so deep into Brothers so fast that there isn't time for the alarm bell to go off that says: "Warning! Another Traumatized-Vet Movie!" You never catch Sheridan or Benioff grandstanding, only observing.
5. This is a powerful, disturbing film that explores common cinematic territory -- the ability of war to destroy the individual -- without seeming clichéd or familiar.
6. Brothers is that rare animal, a US remake of a fine foreign language film which works on both a creative and thematic level in its conversion to an American setting.
7. This intense story of family conflict is powerful and gripping, an absolutely mesmerizing motion picture experience.
8. A remake of a Danish film has much to admire but never comes together with the impact of the original.
9. Sheridan's film is well acted, but what could have been a powerful drama about the impact of war turns into a middlebrow (allegorical) melodrama about brothers who are polar opposites.
10. The result, wavering between intensity and bombast, is part Eugene O'Neill, part topical TV movie.
It plays more like a traditional melodrama than the Susanne Bier film that inspired it, but Jim Sheridan's Brothers benefits from rock-solid performances by its three leads.

1. Stephanie Soechtig's potentially life-changing documentary Fed Up has the look and feel of an extended 60 Minutes investigative news segment. Except that it's much, much more.
2. Before "Fed Up," no movie had ever sent me hurrying to my refrigerator to read food labels - but there's always a first time.
3. Fed Up is a workmanlike documentary, as undistinguished in style as a PowerPoint slide show. It nonetheless finds traction in its depiction of the food industry's Montgomery Burns-like practices.
4. A surprisingly in-depth and confrontational examination into the obesity epidemic among Americans, especially children, over the last 30 years.
5. "The government is subsidizing the obesity epidemic," says food writer Michael Pollan. "Fed Up" will make you want to do something about it.
6. It pulls no punches in its informed outrage against the food industry, zeroing in on the rampant use of sugar and its many multisyllabic variations.
7. This new documentary aims for something very difficult: It takes a tired subject -- the obesity epidemic -- and completely reframes the conversation.
8. Some lessons are overfamiliar (almonds good, corn syrup bad), but the section on corporate influence over school lunches is enough to make you spit out that 20-ounce soda from the concession stand.
9. Without being preachy about it, Fed Up flat-out tells us that it is indeed past time to be fed up -- to insist that action be taken, and take it ourselves. This film is a bracing wake-up call.
10. The film gets its point across ably enough using journalism that it doesn't really need four fat teenagers to record video diaries about their unhappiness with their weight and their inability to do anything about it.
Compelling and troubling in equal measure, Fed Up is an advocacy documentary that earns its outrage.

1. Now retooling the Superman series into middleweight comedy, the script feels written for no one above the age of twelve. As a production it looks cheaply made and thrown together. Worse, this is a mean-spirited piece of work.
2. Enjoyable, nevertheless.
3. Putting its emphasis on broad comedy at the expense of ingenious plotting and technical wizardry, it has virtually none of the mythic or cosmic sensibility that marked its predecessors.
4. Outdated superhero movie may interest older kids.
5. A noticeable drop in quality from the first two, but it's still decent enough that you don't have to be embarrassed for liking it. That comes soon enough...
6. Superman is thrown in to the mix somewhere. But he's merely an after thought, and a supporting player in his own film.
7. Reeve continues his traditions of graceful flying moves, confident carriage, and twinkly warmth. Sadly, none of it is enough to save Superman III from being at home only in a junkyard.
8. 'Superman contra os avanзos da tecnologia'. Uma idйia cuja estupidez sу й superada por sua pйssima execuзгo.
9. Apparently, Richard Lester's intent was to turn Superman into a joke. A really bad joke.
10. Richard Lester's direction injects nothing new into the material, giving the feeling that he views the whole thing as an exercise in comedy set pieces.

When not overusing sight gags, slapstick, and Richard Pryor, Superman III resorts to plot points rehashed from the previous Superman flicks.
