A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"The movie isn't for those seeking a run-of-the-mill Hollywood film and it can't be viewed with a trace of passivity." |
Christopher Smith |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"What "About Schmidt" gets right are the small details of a life not so much lived as existed." |

Tomato A |
Adaptation (2002) |
""Adaptation" will find an audience in everyone as its story - at its core - is about everyone." |
Christopher Smith |

Adventureland (2009) |
"One of the best, most satisfying teen-oriented coming-of-age comedies to come along in awhile." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"What the movie gets exactly right is its knowledge that for some, realizing their first major accomplishment has nothing to do with throwing a touchdown or getting on base. For someone like Akeelah, correctly spelling a difficult world can prove the earl" |

American Gothic - The Complete Series (1995) |
"A tense, effective melodrama with echoes of "Twin Peaks."" |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato A |
Amores Perros (2001) |
"A harrowing, powerful and often disturbing movie about three seemingly unrelated stories that collide after one horrific car accident in Mexico City." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B+ |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"A crude, funny satire that tackles local television anchors and their newscasts. Those are easy targets to skewer, but the movie mines more truth from its subject than some in the biz will want to admit." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato 5/5 |

Anna and the King (1999) |
"A grand retelling of an iconic story." |

The Ant Bully (2006) |
"The new computer-animated movie, "The Ant Bully," knows a few things about bullies, most of which we already know--all of which bear repeating." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato A- |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Although Antwone Fisher is formulaic and at times predictable, it's also beautifully measured and assured, a confident, extraordinarily well-acted film about a man overcoming a dark life of murder, incest, abuse and abandonment." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato B+ |
Anything Else (2003) |
"Filled with the sort of sharp, dirty laughs and biting observations on life, love and sex for which the director, in his youth, was once fearlessly known." |
Christopher Smith |

Army of Darkness (1992) |
"Camp isn't just an undercurrent here--it's the grindhouse force that drives the movie, with Bruce Campbell clearly happy behind the wheel." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato A- |
Arrested Development - Season 2 (2004) |
"Well-developed lunacy backed by some of the best writing on television." |

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
"Thank God for Fat Bastard." |

Tomato A- |
Avatar (2009) |
"The year's most ambitious film is so breathtaking, it detracts you from the fact that Cameron's characters are caricatures, and too much of the dialogue is stock. The good news? None of it matters." |
Christopher Smith |
Tomato A |
The Aviator (2004) |
"This hugely entertaining film about reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, combines drama, action and comedy into such a compelling form, it lights the screen as if from within." |

Aeon Flux (2005) |

Alexander (2004) |
"Big, grand, messy. If you enjoy a nice slice of Hollywood miscalculation every now and then--and who doesn't--you might have a good time." |

Alfie (2004) |
"So, what's it all about? Is it still for the moment we live?" |

Along Came Polly (2004) |

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) |
"Yes, it's probably a good film for children. But when films far more sophisticated and enjoyable like "Up" or "Where the Wild Things Are" come out, a film like this merely seems trivial." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C |
Amelia (2009) |
"Amelia is a film that could have been great, but instead is an average film about an extraordinary person." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat D- |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"Paul Weitz's American Dreamz assembles a sumptuous buffet for the viewer, but since Weitz isn't hungry, he just stares at the spread, dumbly refusing to eat when really he should gorge." |
Christopher Smith |

An American Haunting (2006) |
"More like "An American Hanging." It slips a big noose of banality around its audience's necks and then tightens the rope until unconsciousness sets in." |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Even the most die-hard "Phantom" aficionados might be struck dumb by the sheer level of the crescendo and camp Schumacher achieves here." |
Christopher Smith |
Splat C- |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"The new Ron Howard movie, "Chaos & Disorder"--sorry, "Angels & Demons"--is a sequel to 2006's "The Da Vinci Code," and like that latter film, the news surrounding it is as dull as the luster on Miss California's crown." |
Christopher Smith |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"We're finished." |

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) |
"When compared to Disney's best animated films, "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" doesn't compare." |
Christopher Smith |

Atonement (2007) |
"There's no sinking into "Atonement," no losing yourself to it, no moment when the screen fades away and the story and the characters come to the fore to overcome you." |

Australia (2008) |
"This is a movie that doesn't just want to take over the cineplex--it wants to own it. For better and worse, it has a hell of a time doing so, though not without belching and hicupping along the way." |
