Bachelorette

This comedy about four female friends on the eve of one’s nuptials is at times dangerously funny.

Marie Antoinette

Don’t fear the film’s early reviews from Cannes, which too often slighted it for being fluffy (it isn’t, though its heroine is) or ahistorical (it isn’t, though it is contemporary).

Elizabethtown

Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy doesn't make the attraction between the characters played by Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom believable and then goes off in dozens more unprofitable directions.

Castle in the Sky / Kiki's Delivery Service

Miyazaki conjures a pubescent fable out of whole cloth that both kids and adults will enjoy immensely. Castle in the Sky, from 1986, isn’t Miyazaki’s finest, but that’s like saying Jackson Pollack’s Panel With Four Designs isn’t as good as his Lavender Mist.
