Ladder 49 (2004) |
"A reasonably good, if predictable, meat-and-potatoes tearjerker." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat D+ |
The Ladies Man (2000) |
"The director wants his film to be as smooth and as infectious as the funkadelic music he highlights throughout, but a string of bad decisions prevents that from happening." |
Christopher Smith |

Ladykillers (2004) |
"The film offers several big laughs, some of which are so outrageous, audiences will likely be talking about them after the show." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Some moments are satisfying and they linger, and then it all becomes so ridiculous, the film falls apart." |

Land of the Lost (2009) |
"Saying it's slop is sort of like saying that entering a dank subway restroom at the height of the lunch rush hour is like wandering into a French perfumery. This baby stinks from start to finish." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato A |
Lantana (2001) |
"As a mystery, "Lantana" is memorable. But as a study in human relationships and the human condition, it's unforgettable." |
Christopher Smith |

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"A vast improvement over its impenetrable 2001 predecessor." |
Christopher Smith |

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"All the world can blow up around Lara Croft--and it does here--but who cares when there's no reason to fear for her life?" |

Larry King Live: Greatest Interviews Collection (2007) |
"King isn't the toughest interviewer around--his penchant for sensation and scandal can be offputting. Still, people trust him, which allows for pockets of insight." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B- |
Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"Some movies you want to hang for their contrivances, others you're able to overlook in spite of them. Joel Hopkins' "Last Chance Harvey," from his own script, is the latter." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B- |
Last Days (2005) |
"Don't send out the condolences just yet. The movie isn't about the director's death--if anything, it proves that Van Sant is very much alive." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B+ |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"There is surprise in Whitaker's step, with a curtain of menace running beneath it. His is one of the fiercest, least predictable performances of 2006, so fully on edge that he becomes the movie's edge." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C |
The Last Samurai (2003) |
"It's a film at war with itself. Worse, it's a mixed bag of carefully packaged entertainment, with little room for spontaneity or surprise." |

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |
"It should be put under citizen's arrest as it's one colossal disappointment." |

Laws of Attraction (2004) |
"Sometimes in the movies, the laws of attraction can only lead to a misdemeanor." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C- |
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) |
"A summer blockbuster as overstuffed as a WWE locker room, but with none of the fun and all of the odor." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B- |
Leatherheads (2008) |
"In the wake of "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day," we have yet another screwball comedy. And this one, while it has its problems, isn't so bad, either." |

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"Some will make compelling arguments that Eastwood doesn't give us a complete picture of the Japanese or their atrocities, but the director still is betting that right now, perhaps the world could benefit from another perspective." |
Christopher Smith |

The Libertine (2005) |
"Disagreeable, unlikable, unwatchable." |

Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"The new Robert Redford movie, "Lions for Lambs," is nothing if not nostalgic and well-intentioned, and that's part of its problem." |

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"Little Miss Sunshine is all about failure--personal failure, public failure, professional failure, romantic failure, car failure, eye failure, even heart failure. And yet the film, from newcomers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, is a winner." |

The Longest Yard (2005) |
"Laced with crude racial stereotypes and a rash of homophobia that's akin to a minstrel show, "The Longest Yard" makes Sandler's "The Waterboy" look like an oasis." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C |
The Longshots (2008) |
"Ice Cube is good, but the story has been done so many times in so many better movies, there's little here to recommend." |

Looney Tunes - Golden Collection: Vol. 3 |
"Warner Bros. pulls out all the stops here, including 60 Looney Tunes shorts, a good deal of which are uncut and (bleep-bleep!) uncensored." |

Looney Tunes - Movie Collection: Vol. 3 (2005) |

Lord of War (2005) |
"Amid all the spent bullets and criticisms of our current president, there still is room for irony in "Lord of War." Unintentional, yes, but it's there." |

Lost in Translation (2003) |
"Has the languid intensity of a dream." |

Love Actually (2003) |
"The year's busiest and most relentlessly shameless comedy. It's also among the year's funniest and most disarming." |
