 2/4 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Instead of chasing laughs, "Accepted" gets preachy about the pressures of getting into college and the pressures of attending college." |
Rob Thomas |
|
 4/5 |
The Accidental Tourist (1988) |
"Beautifully-acted comedy-drama that doesn't overdose on its quirks." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/5 |
The Addiction (1995) |
"The allegory wears thin fast, and we're just left with artifice." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
1/4 |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
""Aeon Flux" is thoroughly ridiculous, all but begging to be laughed out of the multiplex and into the second-run theaters." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3.5/4 |
After the Life (2002) |
"If I had to recommend just one film out of the three, it would be this one." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"There are certainly some big emotional moments here that vibrate with emotional intensity, but they always stop short of sheer theatrics, and it doesn't feel like any of them are unearned." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/5 |
Against All Odds (1984) |
"A decent film noir, mostly because of Woods and Bridges." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
1/5 |
Air America (1990) |
"Everybody on-screen seems awfully bored." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
""Air Guitar Nation" does deliver the goods, with some extremely funny scenes and some honest-to-goodness rocking concert footage. Although I fear that the existence of "Nation" has nudged us that much closer to a karaoke documentary." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/5 |
Airplane 2: The Sequel! (1982) |
"Inferior to the original, but enough jokes hit their marks to make it worthwhile." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Atchison finds a very clever and moving way in the final scene to illustrate the film's "it takes a village" message.
" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"There's so much previously available material used that for a while "God Spoke" looks like the first documentary assembled entirely from YouTube clips." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
5/5 |
Aladdin (1992) |
"One of those rare animated films that really is for all ages." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/5 |
Alice (1990) |
"Allen overstuffs the movie with cameos and contrivances." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/5 |
Alien 3 (1992) |
"Flashy, flawed sequel that doesn't deliver the chills of the first or the thrills of the second" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
0/5 |
Alien From L.A. (1983) |
"Completely awful - you can't believe they're serious." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"The fact that it falls short of the greatness it so obviously strives for doesn't mean it isn't a good film." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/5 |
Always (1989) |
"Whimsical and affecting enough, but certainly a lesser Spielberg film." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
5/5 |
Amadeus (1984) |
"Terrific entertainment" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Although the film does skirt the edge of preachiness at times, you certainly can't argue with the basic human decency that it's preaching." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3.5/4 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"It has the sunny, deceptively breezy tone of something like "Dick," or maybe one of the great Michael Ritchie satires of the mid-1970s, like "Smile" or "The Candidate."" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
4/4 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"I expected that "Gangster" would pay homage to films like "The French Connection," "Superfly," "Serpico" and even "The Godfather." What I didn't expect was that the spirit of those films was deeply imbedded in its bones." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
American Gun (2006) |
"What we're left with after watching "American Gun" isn't a sense of who's right or who's wrong, but more of a sadness that so many people feel so powerless and afraid that they think owning a gun will set things right.
" |
Rob Thomas |
|

3/4 |
American Reunion (2004) |
""American Reunion" transcends its technical limitations with the help of some fine performances and a nicely turned screenplay." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/4 |
American Storytellers |
"Really, when you want to learn about the ins and outs of cinema, who else would you turn to but the auteurs behind "Analyze That," "Wild Things" and "Hope Floats"?" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2.5/4 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"Fans of the first two “American Pie” movies should definitely come back for a third slice. Everyone else might want to cautiously poke at it with a fork first." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
1.5/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"“Analyze That” is one of those crass, contrived sequels that not only fails on its own, but makes you second-guess your affection for the original." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3.5/4 |
Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"The film doesn’t just explain Goldsworthy’s vision -- it brings us closer to seeing the world through his eyes." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
Animation Show - Volume 1 (2003) |
"Judge and Hertzfeldt don’t seem to have any criteria in mind beyond selecting stuff they like." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
The Animation Show 4 (2008) |
"Aside from a few misfires, "The Animation Show" is full of visually inventive and broadly hilarious gems." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/4 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Fisher’s story is worth telling, and the few clunky narrative tricks he employs in 'Antwone Fisher' don’t come close to diminishing that." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/4 |
Apres Vous (2005) |
"What started off as a mild but enjoyable comic trifle got progressively more irritating as it wore on for almost two hours." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
4/4 |
Army of Shadows (1969) |
"One of the masterpieces of its era and its genre." |
Rob Thomas |
|

Around the Bend (2004) |
"I liked "Around the Bend" enough to wish it were a better movie.
" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
4/5 |
The Arrival (1996) |
"The aliens-among-us plot gets a very entertaining and inventive update." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3.5/4 |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"Mueller has made a film that actually feels like a 1970s film, something that could have run on a double bill with “The Conversation” or “Dog Day Afternoon.”" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3/5 |
The Assignment (1997) |
"Stylish spy flick with a surprisingly good cast." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
1/5 |
The Atomic Brain (1963) |
"Actually makes "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" look pretty good." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
0/5 |
Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959) |
""Attack of the Glad Bags" might be more accurate." |
Rob Thomas |

Auntie Mame (1958) |
No article available. |

3.5/4 |
The Aura (2006) |
"The flavor is a decidedly mournful one, unusual to find in a crime thriller, but adding layers of rich atmosphere and psychological depth to a familiar but nerve-wracking genre tale." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
""The film ends on a blatant setup for an "Austin Powers 4," but come on. It's been fun and all, but "Oh, begone, baby."" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
3.5/4 |
Auto Focus (2002) |
"Watching “Auto Focus” is like watching a man drown while he smiles at you and insists he can breathe seawater." |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
2/4 |
Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
"There are French movies that are clearly made with a French audience in mind, and there are other French movies that have a non-French audience in mind. Daniele Thompson's "Avenue Montaigne" seems to be aimed at a third, highly-specialized audience; peopl" |
Rob Thomas |
|
|
4/4 |
Away From Her (2007) |
""Away From Her" is one of the great love stories of recent movies, striking because it takes place near the end of a love affair's long journey, rather than at the beginning as so many romances do." |
