After the Sunset (2004) |
|
"
Contrived, unconvincing, and formulaic, Brett Ratner's film has nothing in common with the superior Pierce Brosnan caper flick "The Thomas Crown Affair"**

After The Wedding (2007) |

Against the Ropes (2003) |

The Agronomist (2004) |

"Real and unpolished, Jonathan Demme's decade-in-the-making documentary on Haitian broadcaster Jean Dominique is engrossing and powerful." | |

Alexander (2004) |

"
It boggles the mind at how badly Oliver Stone messed up “Alexander.” An incredible story, exceptional actors and a seemingly limitless budget...**

Alexandra's Project (2005) |

All The King's Men (2006) |

American Hardcore (2006) |
|
"If you're expecting a documentary about punk rock %u2014 like I was %u2013 think again. Paul Rachman's "American Hardcore" has nothing to do with the original '70s movement of the Sex Pistols, Sham 69, Ramones and the Clash." | |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |

'The Phantom of the Opera', though terrific, remains appealing only for fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber's ostentatious opera.**" | |

Arctic Tale (2007) |
|
"When anthropomorphizing animals in an animated movie, it's effective and enjoyable. But when it's used in a documentary, the process is tantamount to cheating. Such is the case of "Arctic Tale"." | |

Around the Bend (2004) |

Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
