A Scanner Darkly (2006) |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"This is Spielberg's loving tribute to Stanley Kubrick and a bloated tribute to himself." |

Splat |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"It’s a brilliant, honest performance by Nicholson, but the film is an agonizing bore except when the fantastic Kathy Bates turns up. Bravado Kathy!" |

Tomato |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"A Taymor triumph. A mélange of creativity using the Beatles music to express a generation in full. The fresh interpretation of the music is perfection.

Alexander (2004) |
"Historically accurate (minus one key point) but was Alexander really so weepy? What about his extravagant lust for bloodshed?" |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Alexander Revisited: Final Cut (2006) |

Alpha Dog (2007) |

American Dreamz (2006) |
"The President is a boob in this lazy rip-off. Not funny except for one gem: the angry Arab gay cousin with a dream Weitz steals from him.

American Gangster (2007) |
"With the exceptional extras piled on, the unrated-extended DVD let's you judge drug lord Lucas for yourself." |
Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
American Outlaws (2001) |
"It fails because of a weak screenplay by Roderick Taylor and John Rogers and laden, lazy direction by Les Mayfield." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
American Pie Presents: Beta House (2007) |
"In the great tradition of college booze, carefree sex, and gross behavior, Beta House pushes right up against the limits of the genre." |

Angels & Demons (2009) |

Annapolis (2006) |

Australia (2008) |
