A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Has more to recommend it than arty graphics--as befits a movie made from one of Philip K. Dick's most acclaimed novels." |
Rex Roberts |
Tomato |
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"Should deliver to that core of filmgoers who respond to anything French, edgy, well-reviewed and well-done." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Spielberg, like his young hero, reaches beyond himself with this dark but transcendent exploration of the fate of the human spirit." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005) |
"What comes across is Chong's innate elegance and intelligence, two qualities often missing from his trademark comedic work." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Aaja Nachle (2007) |
"The lovely and fun-loving Aaja Nachle keys in on just the right tone to keep from seeming silly." |
Frank Lovece |
Splat |
Abandon (2002) |
"A few clunky scenes aside, Abandon still proves Gaghan's talent as a writer; his directing potential, however, is considerably less certain." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
ABC Africa (2002) |
"ABC Africa, with its impressionistic style, doesn't provide much in the way of facts ... but it does provide glimpses of the dying." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
ABCD (2001) |
"Nothing particularly fresh or exciting, but its intentions are so sincere and, for the most part, it's so well-acted that it emerges as quite affecting." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"A magnificently acted, bold tale of a father-daughter relationship that is hard to shake." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Abouna (2004) |
"It is a splendid achievement for the nascent African film industry. And it is also a fascinating film, notable for its empathetic heart as well as its political guts." |
Shirley Sealy |
Tomato |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Evolves into a surprisingly touching account of the tiny steps outcasts take to find happiness." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
About Adam (2001) |
"Has a blithely pleasing air about it and sharply observed female characters." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"About Schmidt is largely about Jack Nicholson, in a comic showcase his fans won't want to miss." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
"One comes away from this documentary fully satisfied and yet wanting even more, a testament to the skill of the filmmakers and the utter fascination of their subject." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Accepted (2006) |
"The movie works on the pure energy of its straight-faced silliness." |
Frank Lovece |
Splat |
The Acid House (1998) |
"What the three stories do share are solid ideas all dressed up with nowhere to go." |
David Luty |
Tomato |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"While it's overlong and not without problems, there can be no denying that Taymor has made an impressive, distinctive and unforgettable contribution to the musical genre." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Acts of Worship (2001) |
"Generally competent and contains the heartfelt and persuasive message that judging others is easy, but truly empathizing is hard." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Chester has a good ear for the snappy one-liner and this, plus his obviously hard-earned knowledge of the quirks in the gay mating game, put over his determinedly black romantic comedy." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Adam Resurrected (2008) |
"Weird combination of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and a Holocaust drama is (almost) saved by Jeff Goldblum's commanding lead performance." |
Lewis Beale |
Splat |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"One would think an animated Sandler would be less repellant than live action -- at least you wouldn't have to actually 'see' him -- but surprise! Even (cheaply) drawn, he's actually more unbearable." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"Pushes the boundaries of weirdness, yet manages to be a moving look into faith and redemption." |
Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Adanggaman (2001) |
"Its subject matter couldn't be more topical." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
Adaptation (2002) |
"Benefiting from astonishing trick photography, Cage does some truly compelling, funny acting and has amazing chemistry with himself." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Adoration (2009) |
"Celebrated Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan ingeniously merges themes of family history, human psychology, politics, prejudice, terrorism and technology into an intriguing and intelligent drama that also works as a mystery." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |
"Writer/director/actor Filiberti, like his film, is highly watchable. He happens to be extremely photogenic and comfortable at whatever he is performing, even if it's only a dance in a male strip club." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
Adrenaline Drive (1999) |
"Stirs up about as much adrenaline as a good nap." |
Thom Bennett |
Tomato |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Greg Mottola follows up Superbad with another sweet and funny (though far less foul-mouthed) coming-of-age comedy." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"A real children's film -- not 'family entertainment' -- but the kind of movie three-year-olds will enjoy, especially if they watch Sesame Street." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"[Bouajila] gives a charming performance." |
Maria Garcia |
Splat |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"It's everything you don't go to the movies for." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"Creaks along with some highs but many more lows." |
Wendy Weinstein |
Splat |
The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1999) |
"Incorporates all the quirky, derivative elements of modern-day, oh-so-sensitive B-movies, with nary a breath of fresh air to justify its determined whimsy." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Aimed at an audience slightly younger than those for his Spy Kids films (despite the PG rating), Sharkboy... falls roughly in between frenzied and brilliant." |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"A story that is both poorly conceived and badly told." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
An Affair of Love (2000) |
"In a movie that bets the farm on delicate balancing, An Affair of Love comes close but doesn't quite strike the needed equilibriums." |
Peter Henne |
Splat |
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"Both Swank and Shyer sink without a trace into the fog of the story trying to be told." |
Harry Haun |
Tomato |
Affliction (1997) |
"Affliction is one of Paul Schrader's most subtle and confident films, and damn hard to shake off." |
Kevin Lally |
Splat |
After Innocence (2005) |
"An advertorial rather than a solid piece of investigative journalism." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
After Life (1998) |
"How people remember, how they fictionalize their memories, and the nature of memory itself are all part of the fascination of After Life." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
After Sex (1997) |
"This raw, compelling drama of amour fou is an emotional tour de force for Roüan." |
Kevin Lally |
Splat |
After the Sunset (2004) |
"Devoid of a clever script and truly charismatic chemistry, it plays out as one big, glossy yawn." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"The film generates such visceral heat, the whole notion of genre becomes irrelevant." |
Erica Abeel |
Tomato |
Afterglow (1997) |
"Rudolph cares for his characters rather than patronizing their often foolish behavior." |
Ed Kelleher |
Splat |
Against the Ropes (2003) |
"With all the platitudes flying around (and with one of the most stridently uplifting scores in memory), it's difficult to take any of Against the Ropes seriously." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"One of the more satisfying youth romps in recent memory." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"Muniz manages to retain his wide-eyed, harried charm, but the film is really a shameful disservice to both him and the family audience which will no doubt turn out in droves to see it." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Aggressives (2005) |
"The fact that all of these women live their not-easy lives with such a guilt-free lack of apology and pride is one of the strongest statements I can think of about how far and positively we've come since Stonewall." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Agnes and His Brothers (2006) |
"Has much to recommend" |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
Agnes Browne (1999) |
"Huston's skill at evoking public conduct naturally and easily--she lived part of her childhood in Dublin--makes Agnes Browne succeed." |
Peter Henne |
