Tomato 3.5/5 |
Adam (2009) |
"Sweet without being overbearing, boasting delectable visuals and a strong pair of lead performances, Adam is much better than what it could have been but still not quite a home run." |

Adventureland (2009) |
"Wants to be one of those great John Hughes movies, but it doesn't have the poignancy to pull something like that off." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Mottola gets credit for trying, and once again depicting teenagers with a thought or two in their head, even if sex and drugs are, as always, the main agenda." |

Splat |
Alexander the Last (2009) |
"A collection of indie movie clichés, the kind of film where every character is an actor or a musician or some sort of artist." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2/5 |
Alien Trespass (2009) |
"The movie's claim of being a "forgotten classic" gets less believable as the effects start looking more realistic." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"Nealon's bizarre, meandering Aliens in the Attic performance is almost, mind you only almost, worth seeing." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 1/5 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"An interminable series of gags based around the shrillest, most obvious characters imaginable." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2/5 |
Amelia (2009) |
"A cast full of actors who seem to believe that playing people who lived in the past requires affectations that make them all sound like newsreel announcers." |
Katey Rich |

An Education (2009) |
"Beautifully shot with era defining wardrobe and hair." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 4/5 |
An Education (2009) |
"An Education is the rare period piece that has a real heart beating underneath it." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 3/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"It appears that Ron Howard knew that he had to change the way everything was done in the previous film, and sending Tom Hanks to the barber was a very good start." |
Brian Holcomb |
Splat 2/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Like watching an Indiana Jones movie without any of the action, adventure, romance, or wit." |

Avatar (2009) |
"Aliens meets Lord of the Rings if it were written by Al Gore, with the battle of Endor thrown in for good measure." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Away We Go (2009) |
"Away We Go feels like a short story, an overwritten exercise, a twee idea dragged to feature length." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 5/5 |
American Teen (2008) |
"...Burstein takes time to let the kids honestly express themselves; what she finds is both surprisingly and painfully familiar to anyone who has ever survived high school." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 5/5 |
American Teen (2008) |
"Touted as a 2008 follow-up to The Breakfast Club, American Teen is a far smarter movie than either that 80s hit or the countless MTV shows that follow the lives of similar young Americans." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"A satisfying journey that doesn't require too much examination, just an appreciation of the scenery and what it took to get by during this period of American history." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato |
August (2008) |
"Has a gritty, edgy look and it helps propel the audience along with Tom as he rides the edge of the dot com bust." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 4/5 |
Australia (2008) |
"It sounds like a mess because it is one. A gorgeous, earnest, reckless, and brazenly captivating mess." |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"When I read that synopsis, all I come away with is the mental image of an aging hippy doing way too many drugs." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"A wildly foolish flick that takes the best elements of stand-up comedy and mixes them with good, old-fashioned rock 'n' roll." |
Lexi Feinberg |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"A movie every bit as awkward and laborious as its unwieldy, ridiculous title." |
Joshua Tyler |

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"Yeah they're making a sequel to a lousy, franchise-ruining movie which nobody liked." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |

"If you love The Chipmunks, this is a great new chapter to add to your memories." |
Scott Gwin |

American Gangster (2007) |

"So we now know that Ridley Scott saw The Departed." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"It's not too hard to imagine that the inspiration for this show came during a late night, cannabis fueled attack of the munchies. It's no masterpiece but that's the idea." |
Brian Holcomb |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"Works wonderfully when taking potshots at pop culture and not so well when it tries to make sense. Luckily, it doesn't try do that very often." |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"With a title that ridiculously long and simultaneously cool it's impossible not to be interested in seeing it." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"As overlaong and pretentious as its title, The Assassination of Jesse James is worth a look almost in spite of itself." |
Katey Rich |

Awake (2007) |
"Outlandish, preposterous, contrived,and implausible thriller which happens to be fun if you ignore the fact that it's outlandish,preposterous,contrived and implausible." |
Brian Holcomb |
Splat 2/5 |
Awake (2007) |
"A small, predictable mystery story that unfolds without reason as both the viewers and the primary characters act as flies on the wall." |
Rafe Telsch |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Good science fiction almost always holds a mirror up to present-day society and quite often, we may not like what we see." |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Live action photography is overlaid with an animation process called interpolated rotoscoping to create a highly stylized look." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Comes with a few funny moments, but probably not enough to justify going out of your way to verify their existence." |
