La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"Like most cinema chanteuse stories, Olivier Dahan's 'La Vie en Rose' pretties up the sordid, but this film is good for its breed." |

Donald J. Levit |
Splat 3/10 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Shyamalan might've been onto something if Lady in the Water were, say, a satire of Scientology; instead, it's a mission for a bedtime story, a badly told fairy tale." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |

John P. McCarthy |
Splat |
Lake City (2008) |
"The filmmakers rely excessively on a repeated dreamlike flashback and on foliage, fields and sunsets to remind us 'we are all part of a greater universe.'" |

Splat |
The Lake House (2006) |
"For all its magical realism and relative beauty and intelligence, 'The Lake House' is a confusingly downcast chick-flick.

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) |

The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Few films this year have been as suspenseful as The Last King of Scotland, which is due in large part to the tour de force performance of Forest Whitaker." |

The Last Winter (2007) |
"Sparse special effects are pretty hokey, and the plot is nothing new, rehashing as it does scores of sci-fi-slash-horror films over many years." |

Leatherheads (2008) |

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |
