Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Among a handful of the scariest movies ever made.
2. One of Kubrick's most severely overcooked, overdetermined projects; Duvall fascinates, but the rest bores and wearies.
3. Re-cut or not, The Shining remains one of the most viscerally disturbing films ever made.
4. It's all in the build-up: Kubrick sets the scene for the horror with meticulous care.
5. The first time I saw Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, I had to turn it off during three key moments... Perhaps this time, I prayed, [it] would seem almost comically silly. Yeah, not so much.
6. The Shining is like a near-miss auto accident: You don't know how scared you really were until you start shaking a few hours later.
7. A masterpiece.
8. One of the best scary movies ever made, one of the best scary movies even imaginable.
9. Kubrick's compositions and Jack Nicholson going kill-crazy with an axe remain hard to beat on the big screen.
10. The technique is as overpowering as Nicholson's performance, which is both hammy and deeply disturbing.

Here is the consensus of critics:Though it deviates from Stephen King's novel, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a chilling, often baroque journey into madness -- exemplified by an unforgettable turn from Jack Nicholson

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. The third time is charmless for writers/directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
2. Ken Kesey is probably rolling over in his grave somewhere, but once you get past the faux-psychiatry trappings, It's Kind of a Funny Story isn't a bad little comedy.
3. Despite the pleasant, loopy energy and fine performances -- Galiflanakis conjures a surprisingly sad character, and I grew fond of Gilchrist, with his impenetrable black eyes and rosebud mouth -- you walk out of it shaking your head.
4. Writer-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck fail to energize their mild-mannered, overly pat material.
5. Respected indie filmmakers with a niche in social-realist drama try their hand at winsome comedy, fall flat on their critically acclaimed faces.
6. It's not a film, it's a bland, overly long sitcom straining for the funny ... something along the lines of Two and A Half Men-tal Cases.
7. Disarmingly gentle, sweet and whimsical.
8. Like a short course of intelligence-numbing anti-depressants: Though it may make you feel temporarily better, it's probably not worth the icky aftertaste.
9. Co-directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, who directed the gritty indie dramas Half Nelson and Sugar, go all gooey and sentimental here.
10. So many elements, from its setup to scenes of therapy sessions and hallway high jinks, seem as canned as the blandest dayroom Muzak.

Here is the consensus of critics:It's amiable, and it does a surprisingly good job of sidestepping psych ward comedy cliches, but given its talented cast and directors, It's Kind of a Funny Story should be more than just mildly entertaining.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Fans of the 1981 original won't find many improvements here.
2. The filmmakers achieved something I wasn't expecting. They improved the visual effects without taking the silly action-oriented story too seriously.
3. 'Clash of the Titans' emphasizes its incredible creatures instead of the human actors, and they are fantastic.
4. Inexplicably less godly and less epic than Percy Jackson and the Olympians, this new clash between titans mostly makes you want to go back and watch the original again.
5. Coming across like a mythological hybrid of its official source material and Gladiator, the remake extracts the essence of the 1981 Clash of the Titans and updates it for the new millennium.
6. Charmless, ugly and lackluster with a laughably bad script, it's no improvement on the original film and on its own merits is just unfortunate. I'm sure the video game tie-in will be more entertaining than this.
7. With three screenwriters telling the convoluted story, it is a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. The Razzie Awards race for the worst movie of the year is now well under way with this early spring candidate.
8. An unnecessary remake that's loud, chaotic and mildly entertaining
9. Your enjoyment of Clash of the Titans is aided by remembering the original was one big ol' hunk of cheese, too.
10. If you go into it and you're expecting big, dumb, loud, empty, pointless--then that's fine. Because that's what the film is.

Here is the consensus of critics:An obviously affectionate remake of the 1981 original, Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans doesn't offer enough visual thrills to offset the deficiencies of its script.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Could ... have turned out to be a guilty pleasure were it more uninhibited and less rushed.
2. Note to self: accept no British imports trying to be American trash.
3. Its sleazy, low-down content guarantees few, if any awards, but it also provides a far more entertaining film.
4. Not perfect and meant to be disturbing for its take on complex moral issues, this British film is so well acted that it is Oscar-bound.
5. Stars Judi Dench in one of the cruelest, most isolating roles of her career. She's Barbara Covett, a British school teacher of a certain age who wields a poisonous wit that's so cutting, it tends to draw its share of blood.
6. 'Notes on a Scandal' is a memorable portrait of self-destruction. And, believe me, it's not a pretty sight.
7. Take a note: This is Judi Dench in the performance ofher career as a needy teacher who exploits and almostdestroys a younger woman.
8. A pair of crack performances.
9. It's a shame that such a deliciously twisted story comes across as so pedestrian onscreen.
10. Notes on a Scandal is both dramatic and funny thanks to an incisive script by Patrick Marber (Closer), with Dame Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett delivering performances that are memorable and exhilarating.

Here is the consensus of critics:
In this sharp psychological thriller, Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett give fierce, memorable performances as two schoolteachers locked in a battle of wits.
