Adventureland (2009) |
"Sometimes, a critic is going to connect with a movie, even one they can admit has some major problems, because it so mirrors their own expereinces." |

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." |

Away We Go (2009) |
"John Krasinski talks "Away We Go" and his career" |
Edward Havens |

Another Cinderella Story (2008) |
"I guess the best thing that can be said about the direct-to-video release "Another Cinderella Story" is that it is not quite as bad as it should be." |
Edward Havens |
Tomato A- |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"Can Ed Harris, of all people, save the Western for this generation?" |
Edward Havens |
Tomato B- |
Across the Universe (2007) |

"Observations on "The Assassination of Jesse James"" |

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." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
Accepted (2006) |
"While his 28 year-old face has a hard time passing for a teenager, Long's gusto for the role really gives the film oomph when it needs it the most." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B- |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"The theme of educational growth against incredible odds is richly appreciated, but the payoffs lack dramatic gas." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D+ |
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." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D+ |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the polish, star power, and prestige can't save the film from becoming a gargantuan bore." |

American Dreamz (2006) |

Tomato A- |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"Here's something I haven't felt from a CG animated film so far this summer: pure delight. Ant Bully supplies this sensation over and over again." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
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.
" |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B+ |
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." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Shark Boy is a brave undertaking, but for anyone over 9 years of age, it’s also a complete chore to sit through." |

Aeon Flux (2005) |
"If you couldn't tell the difference between a Flux from an Aeon before you walk into the theater, be prepared to make this response to the picture: 'whaaa?'" |

Aliens of the Deep (2005) |

Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"If anyone were pondering what Ed Wood would be like today if he were armed with foreign financing and computer effects, look no further than Uwe Boll." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D- |
American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005) |
"Little more than a blatant attempt to cash in on brand name recognition." |
Edward Havens |
Splat D |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"The new Amityville is the same old circus of cheap shock scares, rambunctious editing, and lukewarm logic." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat F |
Are We There Yet? (2005) |
"Are We There Yet? is an appalling experience that no adult (or kid for that matter) should be subjected to. On the plus side, it makes for great birth control." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B- |
Ask the Dust (2005) |
"Anytime Farrell and Hayek decide to play up their sexuality, that's cause to dance in the streets" |
Brian Orndorf |

Ask the Dust (2005) |
"A stylistic triumph, one whose story and character shortcomings are overcompensated with lush visuals, a haunting score and a trio of strong performances" |
Edward Havens |

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"It’s a joy to see a gritty, take-few-prisoners film like Assault, and a relief to see it come together so magnificently." |

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"The nuances which made Carpenter's movie work are missing this time around, leaving little more than just another excuse to have people shoot at one another for two hours." |

After Midnight (2004) |
"A pleasure to behold and one any lover of cinema would be wise to keep on their radar of films to seek out." |
Edward Havens |

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." |

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

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." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"Maybe the Predators should spend a little less time hunting aliens, and more time trying to recapture some cinematic integrity." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"While malapropisms and anachronisms do have their places in cinematic comedy, it's very tough to make them the foundation for a story." |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"On paper, the teaming looks solid gold, yet the film is an experience that results in more yawns than goosebumps." |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"A flamboyant failure, unwilling and/or unable to open itself up to anyone who wasn't totally in love with the show already." |

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." |

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." |
