Accepted (2006) |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"The film is devoted to life after the thievery, where the spoils of victory can be enjoyed to their fullest potential...a great start to this spirited, sun-drenched caper." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |

Alfie (2004) |
"Jude Law is perfect for the role in every way, matching Caine's charms note for note, and only besting the maestro with his disarming good looks." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |

The Ant Bully (2006) |

Aquamarine (2006) |
"Aquamarine is a frothy, cute feature film that (for at least a good 70 minutes) should be painless for adults, and manna from heaven to girls.

Ask the Dust (2005) |

ATL (2006) |
"This is a superb film with a lot to say about people, not stereotypes. And it does so with vigor and intelligence, not a crushing need to play to the lowest common denominator." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B+ |
Aurora Borealis (2006) |
"Borealis constantly dodges formula by taking little asides with the characters that are unpredicted, and exercising the Minneapolis setting to investigate the literal and symbolic thawing of a wounded soul." |

The Aviator (2004) |
"Amongst contemporary American filmmakers, it can only be said perhaps of Martin Scorsese alone that a good movie from him is a disappointment." |

Away We Go (2009) |
"For my money, the new dramatic comedy "Away We Go" is the first serious contender for Best Picture of the Year consideration." |

Awesome! I... Shot That! (2004) |
"The result is a free-flowing, hyper-edited pastiche of sight and sound, real and unreal, and the occasional bathroom break. It's a lot of things, but it stays true to the title: it is awesome." |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Dick fans will find more to play with here than the average viewer. But as a rotund demonstration of visual imagination and social insight, the absence of focus just murders the effort." |

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"Stormbreaker isn't a sour film, but it doesn't have a pulse; limping through extended action beats with cookie-cutter authority and often horrific direction." |

Alexander (2004) |
"It’s been five years since Stone helmed a feature film, and the question must be asked: has anybody missed him?" |
