I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"I Capture the Castle is a sweet, quiet film that makes its own pace, urging the viewer along with complex, eccentric characters and gentle surprises that avoid cliché." |
Dawn Taylor |
Splat |
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968) |
"It's conventional and derivative and middlebrow enough to fall back on broad stereotypes of what audiences in Omaha thought of the 'hippie movement.'" |
Mark Bourne |
Splat 2/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"The problem with I Spy isn't so much that it's bad (which it is), but that it's wasteful." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Want to Live! (1958) |
"At its core is a moving portrayal of regret, bravado, and fierce determination." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato |
I'm All Right, Jack (1960) |
"Anchor Bay presents I'm All Right Jack in a clean, sharp black-and-white print (1.66:1 anamorphic) that looks splendid. The DD 2.0 monaural audio is also quite fine. Extras are the original trailer plus a thorough Sellers biography/filmography." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
I'm All Right, Jack (1960) |
"...the Boulting brothers' acerbic satire I'm All Right Jack (1959) is a merciless and hilarious dagger thrown at both Labor and Management, two opposing factions each rotten with exclusive self-interest." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato 3/4 |
I.Q. (1994) |
"A charming -- if slightly over-stylized -- romantic comedy about learning to think with your heart instead of your head." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"A charming, often-hilarious story about friendship and loyalty." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"While not quite as fresh, charming, or focused as its predecessor, [this] is still a fine way to spend an hour and a half -- especially if you're a Scrat fan." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Ice Storm (1997) |
"Lee's wrenching, expertly acted drama focuses on two families whose complex relationships come to a head over the long Thanksgiving weekend." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato |
The Iceman Cometh (1960) |
"Robards' virtuoso performance as the glad-handing, doom-ridden Hickey is the role's gold standard...." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
The Iceman Cometh (1960) |
"This Broadway Theatre Archive DVD preserves as closely as possible the original audio and visual components.... As a recording of an event, this production makes for one of the most welcome DVD releases and Broadway Theatre Archive's most in-demand title." |
Mark Bourne |
Splat 2/4 |
Idiocracy (2006) |
"It's a pointed -- if cynical and somewhat bitter -- commentary on the state of society, but the story is thin and meandering at best." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"A decade ago, who'd have guessed that the new millennium's 'It Culkin' would turn out to be Kieran?" |
Betsy Bozdech |
Splat |
In Like Flint (1967) |
"...tries to top its predecessor by sending übermensch Derek Flint to Moscow, outer space, and the Isle of Uppity Brassiere Models ... sloppy pacing, shoddy production values, and Lee J. Cobb looking like he's planning a stern call to his agent." |
Mark Bourne |
Splat |
In Living Color - Season 1 (1990) |
"... uncomfortably dated now, and the repeated, crude representations of blacks as subway crazies, junkies and criminals feels uncomfortably racist, besides." |
Dawn Taylor |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Good Old Summertime (1949) |
"A sweet, nostalgic bit of musical fun." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"Funny, poignant, fast-paced, eye-popping adventure about a family of superheroes-in-hiding who must reclaim their innate talents in order to (naturally) save the world." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Splat 2/4 |
Indecent Proposal (1993) |
"Even as a meditation on morality and character, it's not that compelling." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Indian in the Cupboard (1995) |
"With a little less moralizing and a little more of the wonder and magic that made [Mathison's] E.T. script so powerful [it] could have been more than just a decent family film." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) |
"Sweeping, melodramatic, and brimming with positive messages about morality and virtue, Mark Robson's epic film embodies many of the values idealized in the Eisenhower era." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato |
Innocence (2001) |
"... a moving testament to the power of love to make a life whole, no matter how late in the game one finds it." |
Dawn Taylor |
Tomato |
The Innocents (1961) |
"It sneaks under your skin, subtly and suggestively portraying something sinister and perverse that may exist only in the protagonist's head, but that doesn't mean it can't mess with yours." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
The Innocents (1961) |
"Fox brings The Innocents to DVD on a two-sided disc [that's] just short of exquisite. Its silky black-and-white image is practically flawless ... a superb presentation." |
Mark Bourne |
Splat |
Inside Man (2006) |
"Takes the obvious plot constructs of an hourlong network TV episode and stretches them to the breaking point, bringing absolutely nothing new to the genre." |
Dawn Taylor |
Tomato 3/4 |
Intermission (2004) |
"Intermission feels fresh. Perhaps that's because ... it's not a quirky romp about a colorful bunch of wacky characters with a so-crazy-it-just-might-work idea." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato |
Invaders From Mars (1953) |
"Image Entertainment's ... 50th Anniversary Special Edition delivers the best home version of the movie yet released." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
Invaders From Mars (1953) |
"Invaders from Mars really is laughably camp and an often goony 79 minutes, but if that was its totality it would be utterly dismissed like so many of its kin today." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) |
"Of course, in perspective it's all a fun kind of bad and any Cahiers du Cinema critique dissolves on contact." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) |
"This DVD release ... offers a clean, vivid black-and-white image that finally restores the original 1.85:1 (anamorphic) aspect ratio. The transfer is sometimes too sharp for the visual effects' own good..." |
Mark Bourne |
Splat |
It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958) |
"Proudly displays all of the limitations of its bargain-basement budget." |
Mark Bourne |
Splat 3/4 |
Italian for Beginners (2002) |
"Once you get used to the handheld camerawork and the minimalist production values, you'll discover a beguiling romantic dramedy that feels as authentic as your own home movies." |
Betsy Bozdech |
Tomato |
Ivanhoe (1952) |
"Warner's DVD edition of Ivanhoe gives us a clean, colorful print with no significant wear. Rozsa's orchestra and the thunder of lances, axes, and maces against shields are treated well by the strong, clean DD 1.0 monaural audio." |
Mark Bourne |
Tomato |
Ivanhoe (1952) |
"While Joan Fontaine was one of MGM's marquee beauties, she must have rued the day that Ivanhoe's other damsel went to Elizabeth Taylor, who steals Fontaine's thunder with her eyes alone." |
