Altman turns his laconic lens to a fascinating account of a truly collective human effort.  Sign up. |

| Sexy nostalgia for hip cinephiles, otherwise devoid of psychological interest. Don't wake them. |

Giamatti and Haden Church are an odd couple worthy of Lemmon and Matthau. Go for a taste. |

A film that wants to be something else. Whatever that may be, it’s neither funny or interesting.Roll the dice. |

Excellent acting makes a simple melodrama more profound than it has any right to be. |

| Masterpiece of L.A. existentialism. Foxx turns in a career-making performance. |

| Crackles with humor but far too scatterbrained for its own good. Wahlberg steals the movie. |

| Disappointing follow-up to Kidd’s stellar debut “Roger Dodger”. Linney nearly saves the movie, but it can’t shake the doldrums. |

| The protean Bale gives a deft performance in a self-consciously Dostoyevskian nightmare. |

| Formulaic vulgarity doesn’t ruin the breezy charm of this predictable but fun comedy. |
