It is a shame that, for all the good things "Love Lies Bleeding" does, the ending is such a complete disaster.

"Lisa Frankenstein" is a bad Tim Burton movie with two unlikable main characters.

"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" is a harrowing journey but, for those who appreciate horror, it is well worth taking.

"The Little Mermaid," with a running length that exceeds that of its predecessor by 52 minutes, explores areas not touched on by the animated version.

"Living" is not quite as good as "Ikiru" (of which it is a remake), but it is a damn good re-interpretation.

Unlike some adaptations of classic novels, this one does not feel like a chore to sit through: an impressively mounted production that is emotionally true to the characters and their era.

It features enough eye candy to keep most kids engaged and boasts just enough heft that adults won’t spend 100 minutes looking at their watches.

It’s passably sweet entertainment but, just as it’s unlikely to stick in the craw, it won’t hold a place in one’s memory, either.

Uses tone, location, and a string of expert performances to leave an impression, even if the story itself is unremarkable.

Sweet and romantic with plenty of offbeat quirks and unexpected beats while never becoming saccharine or artificial.
