The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005) |
"Stunningly, the end of 'The L.A. Riot Spectacular' promises a sequel taking on the OJ Simpson trial. If I have to physically go to the west coast and prevent this from happening, I'm prepared to make that commitment." |

Tomato B+ |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Most of the reason why Ladder resonates so much is the cast, led by a tender, gripping performance from Joaquin Phoenix." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D+ |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"If Shyamalan wants to slap around film critics, hey, fine by me; but to sacrifice your entire film to do so reeks of a director who could stand to hear a little more "no" in his life." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"It might get a little indiscernible at times, but the laughs and guffaws are there, and there’s nobody like the Coens working today who can balance such a peculiar picture so impeccably." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato A- |
The Lake House (2006) |
"Lake House is hazy, low-tech romantic filmmaking, and its no shove policy is exactly why it works so well." |

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) |
"That's how awful this picture is. It can't even come up with new diarrhea jokes." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B+ |
Lassie (2006) |
"Lassie is old-fashioned family entertainment, and I hope audiences aren't afraid to take a chance on a movie that might not be paced like a race car, but offers gentle adventure and alternative heroism instead." |

Splat F |
Last Days (2005) |
"The ferociously tedious and ostentatious Last Days is an insult to the sad life of a rock legend.
" |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat C |
Last Holiday (2006) |
"Holiday certainly is harmless entertainment, but considering the pedigree of the talent here, the final product is more than a little disappointing." |

Tomato A- |
The Last Kiss (2006) |
"The Last Kiss is a picture about bad choices, and that's exactly why it should be celebrated." |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"One long, faintly uninspiring experience." |

The Last Shot (2004) |
"The level of enjoyment one might get from a film about the film industry is probably exponentially based on one’s own interest or involvement within the film industry." |

League of Ordinary Gentlemen (2005) |
"I know what you're thinking... a documentary about bowling? To which I answer: Hell yeah, and a darn good one, too!" |

Tomato B- |
Leatherheads (2008) |
"To call something a screwball comedy instead of just a comedy is to add an extra level of farcical expectations all too easy to not meet." |
Edward Havens |
Splat C+ |
The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"In what should've been Antonio Banderas's finest hour as the Mexican superhero, he is instead swallowed up by a second film that doesn't know what to do with him." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato A+ |
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) |
"Life Aquatic may not be as cuddly as his other productions, but it still resonates loudly with grace, joy and originality. It’s a remarkable piece of filmmaking." |

Little Man (2006) |
"I'm sure it's fun to be a multi-millionaire, but whatever creativity and dignity Ivory Wayans had to offer the world in his youth is lost for good in Little Man to a series of crotch wallops and fart jokes." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato A |
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"It may appear to be another insignificant Sundance offering on the outside, but Little Miss Sunshine is an enchanting, rewarding picture that should not be passed over." |

Little Secrets (2001) |
"This is simply good filmmaking, and deserving of your attention." |

The Longest Yard (2005) |
"Even when Yard occasionally becomes too hammy for words, or the “evil” performances cross into cartoon, the film remains an overwhelmingly infectious experience." |

Look (2007) |
"Once or twice a year, if we are lucky, a movie comes out of seemingly nowhere and grabs ahold of us, with thoughts and ideas that stick in our heads long after the credits have rolled out and the lights in the auditorium has illuminated again." |

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006) |
"There, up on the stage and under the hot lights, Brooks does what he was born to do: squirm. There's just nothing more funny than that." |

Lords of Dogtown (2005) |
"While there are nanoseconds where Hardwicke can make her film come together in an appealing period brew, the rest of Dogtown is one long, atrociously directed joke.

Lords of Dogtown (2005) |
"Being a little skate punk pre-teen... I found the film to be a fascinating window to my own past, despite the film's obvious flaws. I doubt others will be as forgiving." |

Loren Cass (2009) |
"We're presented a small slice of life with a group of wasted teens, expected to consider this to be somehow artistic and asked to be sympathetic for their malaise." |

Los Angeles Plays Itself (2004) |
"Arguably the best movie about movies ever made." |

Lost in Translation (2003) |
"If there were any doubts left as to Ms. Coppola's abilities [as a filmmaker]... "Lost in Translation" should smash down the snickering walls of her doubters once and for all." |

A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004) |
"And are we to believe that Pursy, in Scarlett Johansson form, sits around all day eating spoons of peanut butter dipped in M&Ms (apparently the definitive white trash treat)?" |

Lucky # Slevin (2006) |
"Slevin feels like a lackluster writing sample that somehow bumbled its way into a feature film production." |
