The Abandoned (2007) |
"'The Abandoned' suffers from a distinct lack of action and a mistaken mindset that confuses characters shuffling around dark rooms with suspense." |

Acacia (2003) |
"'Acacia' so overcomplicates the story that it's literally still explaining what happened even as the final credits roll." |

Accepted (2006) |
"Why do studios think characters like the preppy bully, the geeky fat kid, and inhuman campus deans are still fresh and original concepts?
" |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Robert Rodriguez overloads the kiddie material and leaves the parents in the audience rolling their eyes for most of the show." |

After Dark Horrorfest: 7 Films To Die For Giftset (2006) |
"'After Dark Horrorfest' boasts '8 films to die for,' but a more accurate description is 'one kinda cool film and seven you can live without.'" |

Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"At times, Agent Cody Banks might be a little too much..." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat 2/4 |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"Whatever charm that existed in the first movie has been sabotaged almost entirely in its repetitive and wholly unnecessary sequel." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"Some 'Stormbreaker' chase scenes look well done, but the rest of the movie keeps you chuckling when it should be keeping your pulse pounding instead." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"'AVP-R' does little more than throw in fake-out scares, rehash tired horror cliches, and have its characters slowly sneak around dark places." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Alone With Her (2007) |
"Filmmaker Eric Nicholas knows precisely how to draw viewers in and tweak the mounting intensity of 'Alone with Her' to keep us absorbed." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
An American Carol (2008) |
"If you're not with 'us' you're with 'them' -- a premise that should offend anyone regardless of political affiliation, yet this movie buys into it." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Angel-A (2007) |
"While I can't fully recommend 'Angel-A,' it's one of those films I sort of want people to see -- just so I can hear their reactions." |

Splat |
Annapolis (2006) |
"'Annapolis' assembles just about every cliche ever included in an Army movie and merely moves them to a different division of the military." |

Splat |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"Fairly diverting for kids, but somewhat of a letdown for adults." |

Apartment 1303 (2007) |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"Although I can't precisely describe what's so funny about ATHFCMFFT, I think it's a dementedly brilliant animated movie." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Arang (2006) |
"For every step forward, 'Arang' takes two back, making you feel distanced by a movie just when you're starting to get into it." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"Slightly more tolerable than its predecessor, this sequel is every bit as derivative, tiring, and unfunny -- to the point of being downright scary." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Army of Shadows (1969) |
"'Army of Shadows' boasts many moments of quiet intensity, where the lack of action is crisp and engaging, truly coaxing viewers onto the edge of their seats." |

Splat |
As You Like It (2006) |
"Although Branagh's 'As You Like It' is lush and beautiful to look at, its structure appears puzzling and all over the map." |

Astro Boy (2009) |
"Astro Boy goes at a mile a minute, but a closer glance reveals it to be running in place." |

ATL (2006) |
"This urban dramedy is an involving coming-of-age tale with more substance than you might think upon first glance.

Australia (2008) |
"What begins as a plucky tribute to the sweeping epics of yore soon turns into a bloated example of melodramatic storytelling at its most taxing." |

A.K.A. Birdseye (2002) |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"Intriguing Old-West-meets-Space-Age atmosphere, but lame attempts at humor mount up and lie there, unappreciated, like a plate of overcooked spaghetti." |

Splat |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"Despite impressive sets, a fine cast and some eye-popping special effects, this sci-fi action movie doesn't always work -- mostly because visual gimmicks overcome plot and character development." |

Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Similar to the real kidnapping fictionalized in 'Alpha Dog,' the movie falls apart quicker than you can say Nick Cassavetes, who wrote and directed it." |

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
