The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"A little of The Sixth Sense and a whole lot of nonsense make for a "based on a true story" horror flick that has only a few jolts to its credit." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Aristocrats (2005) |
"An inside joke gets turned inside out in this digital documentary about comedy and creepy feelings." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"Trashy '70s Carpenter flick gets a startlingly good remake that's smart, swift and full of bruising good times for B-movie action fans." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"Disney's PG-13 spectacle does a disservice to both fact and fiction with clumsy, cliche writing." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Oliver Stone's take on the life of Alexander the Great is overblown, underdeveloped and one of the worst films of 2004." |

James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"It's hardly breaking news to tell you Will Ferrell's funny, but Anchorman's flights of lunacy need a little more story to keep us engaged." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Broadway bore comes to the big screen in a movie-musical adaptation that's too little, too late and too terrible for words." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Aviator (2004) |
"Scorsese's Howard Hughes biopic is a riveting story of genius and torment, talent and arrogance, passion and madness." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"Teen spy tale is another success for young Frankie Muniz and is backed by a broad spectrum of unexpected talents." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alex and Emma (2003) |
"Inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Rob Reiner gives us a so-so metatextual romance -- "When Sally Adapted Harry."" |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 5/5 |
All the Real Girls (2003) |
"Small-town romance has the poetry of the inarticulate, the faith of the wounded and the beauty of the everyday in every heartfelt frame." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
American Splendor (2003) |
"Quirky, off-kilter look at the life and work of cult-comics author Harvey Pekar is a snappy tale of low culture and pop art." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"The third -- and, dear God, hopefully final -- American Pie film wastes talented actors on slapstick, sentimentality and smut." |
James Rocchi |

And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003) |
"French souffle of song, sickness and second chances charms when it's hot, but turns lumpy and indigestible as it cools." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"A lazy, tired comedy in which Sandler does what he's done too many times before, and Nicholson does ... very little." |
James Rocchi |

Anything Else (2003) |
"Woody Allen's standard tale of love and neurosis in Manhattan may have new faces in the cast, but it's the same old story." |

James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
About Schmidt (2002) |

Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Denzel Washington's directorial debut is a handsomely made tale of challenge and triumph diminished by "After School Special" morality." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ararat (2002) |
"Atom Egoyan may be our new Kubrick -- but his latest film's exploration of genocide and culture is the textbook definition of "ambitious failure."" |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
"Third installment of Mike Myers's spy-spoof franchise is a self-referential, self-satisfied mix of lazy "comedy" and low expectations." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Auto Focus (2002) |
"Sordid, surreal tale of "Hogan's Heroes" star Bob Crane's rise and fall grabs you tight like a clammy handshake and doesn't let go." |
