A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
"A movie with complex and rich themes -but a surplus of them. Apparently little time was spent shaping them into something multi-dimensional but eventually cohesive."

Alexander (2004)
"Despite flashes of vivid imagery and charisma, Alexanderis nowhere close to 'great'."
Tomato
Angels in America (2003)
"For those who never had the privilege of witnessing one of the great theatrical events of the 20th century, HBO Films kindly fills them in after the fact."
Animatrix (2003)
"This particular 'rabbit hole' has far more verve and artistic curiousity than its bloated blockbuster counterpart [i]The Matrix Reloaded[/i]"
Tomato B-
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)
"Funny, sweet and often interesting... but the desperation is so tangible it proves exhausting"
Anything Else (2003)
"Far more vital than Allen's last few pictures, Anything Else should serve as lifesaving tourniquet; It's no cure for wounded fans but it'll stop the bleeding."
Atonement (2007)
"Few films this year were as magnificent looking and few as misunderstood."
Tomato B
Australia (2008)
"epic, magical and romantic... but unwieldy and muddled, too."
Auto Focus (2002)
"A game performance from Kinnear, doesn't make up for the tedium onscreen. The film offers no insight that a synopsis doesn't provide."
Tomato A-
Avatar (2009)
"Pandora is so immersive, its native cultures so well realized that any fantasy novelists watching will surely weep from the world-building gauntlet thrown down. Top this!"
The Aviator (2004)
"Scorsese and DiCaprio's dynamism proves a good fit for Hughes. It's a trio made in heaven. Or rather a quartet if you throw in the double-plus-goodness of Cate as Kate..."
