Tomato
4/5

Alfie (2004)

"Shyer's Alfie captures the 1960s "British invasion" filmmaking style of Richard Lester, Michael Winner, etc., better than Lewis Gilbert did in the 1966 original. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Alice (1990)

"Underrated Woody Allen offering with some fine performances and a lot of style."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Alice Neel (2007)

"A surprisingly dense, multilayered documentary on the painter Alice Neel."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Alien vs. Predator (2004)

"It isn't some kind of ghastly betrayal of anything. It's just a rather silly exercise in schlock sci-fi horror that doesn't pretend to be anything else."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Aliens (1986)

"At first it's exciting, then it keeps going and going and going..."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

"Mean-spirited, gloomy and ineptly made by the Brothers Strause, who here find themselves promoted from special-effects experts to filmmakers (in name at least)."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

All About Eve (1950)

"Outstanding Mankiewicz film with the perfect cast."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

All About My Mother (1999)

"An over-the-top collection of outrageous characters in improbable circumstances that all manage to interconnect, forming a film of incredible power, humor and finally beauty."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

All Over the Guy (2001)

"A funny and warm little film that really deserved more attention than it got."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

"Classic anti-war early talkie lives up to its reputation."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

All That Heaven Allows (1955)

"Yet another mystifyingly lionized Sirkian soaper."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

All That Jazz (1979)

"Interesting, but overrated"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

All the King's Men (1949)

"Splendid portrait of political corruption. More timely than ever."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

All The King's Men (2006)

"The kind of admirable failure that's worth seeing for what it tries to do -- and for what it sometimes accomplishes."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

All the President's Men (1976)

"As a film, it's brilliantly crafted and constantly entertaining -- and now a fascinating time capsule of what reporting was like 30 years ago."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

All the Real Girls (2003)

"From a Southern perspective, the movie's a true breath of fresh air. For once, we're treated to Southern characters who aren't gun-totin' rednecks with exaggerated accents."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

All Through the Night (1942)

"Enjoyable WWII propaganda made by great cast and slick direction"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Allegro Non Troppo (1979)

"A reminder of a time not that long ago when movies seemed fresher, braver and just generally more exciting than they are now."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Alligator People (1959)

"Professionally made cheap thriller that's enjoyably silly."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Alone in the Dark (1982)

"Uneven, but sometimes creepy, sometimes quirky thriller."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Alone in the Dark (2005)

"The title is reasonably fitting, since I very nearly was alone in the dark when I saw it. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Along Came Polly (2004)

"If it weren't for the ferret, this movie would be a total dog."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Altered States (1980)

"Brilliantly made hallucinatory horrors from Ken Russell."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

"My personal belief is that no chipmunk in its right mind could be made to sing 'ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang' at gunpoint."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Amadeus (1984)

"When Amadeus deals with the music -- and with the theme of greater and lesser talents in conflict -- it frequently justifies its reputation."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Amarcord (1974)

"Images of such stunning beauty that you feel you're actually inside Fellini's mind, seeing the things he remembers -- in a highly colored fashion -- from childhood."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Amazing Colossal Man (1957)

"Typical Bert I. Gordon badness"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Amazing Grace (2007)

"One of the nobler 'based on true events' efforts I've seen in some time, one of the most entertaining and a fine example of the work of a master-craftsman filmmaker."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)

"Even Ulmer can't help this one"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Ambulance (1993)

"Pretty amusing, entertaining horror thriller from Larry Cohen."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Amelia (2009)

"In one fell swoop, Mira Nair and company have set the genre back 64 years. That's probably some kind of accomplishment."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

American Dreamz (2006)

"This is a heady mix, but it sounds funnier than it plays, because it needed a Billy Wilder level of cynicism, and Weitz doesn't have anything like that."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

American Gangster (2007)

"I think it's something inherently lacking in American Gangster that keeps me from admiring it as much as those behind the film would like me to."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

American Gothic (1988)

"Even as exploitation schlock this is pretty bad."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

An American Haunting (2006)

"Writer-director Courtney Solomon can't decide what kind of movie he's making."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

An American in Paris (1951)

"Sometimes brilliant, always watchable, but overlong."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

American Madness (1932)

"Early Capra has the extra bonus of documenting its time."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

American Pop (1981)

"If you're into Bakshi, it might be okay. I'm not. It isn't."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

American Splendor (2003)

"This film's startling accomplishment isn't its multiple layers but the fact that you aren't yanked out of the story to admire the cleverness of American Splendor's construction; the film just feels right"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

"Okay werewolf flick that's overproduced and tries too hard."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Americanization of Emily (1964)

"Classic anti-war comedy. Ahead of its time."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Amityville 3-D (1983)

"Better than the first two, but apart from the 3-D novelty not much"

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

The Amityville Horror (1979)

"All hype, no substance."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

The Amityville Horror (2005)

"Rarely has rampant mayhem seemed this dull."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

An Education (2009)

"A good deal of this works because of Mulligan, who deserves every accolade and Audrey Hepburn comparison she's received for her performance."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

"It took four screenwriters to cobble this together. That's reasonable. With the death of Ed Wood, it's not possible for any one person to come up with anything this screwy. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Analyze That (2002)

"The film could have deftly skewered the whole sub-genre; instead, it sinks to the level of a marginally classier Mickey Blue Eyes with a smattering of more laughs."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)

"One of Stewart's best performances."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"At best fitfully amusing for all but hardcore Ferrell fans."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)

"Basically a "best of" Monty Python collection, but that's enough"

Ken Hanke
