Tomato A	L.A. Confidential (1997)	"With every corner turned, the viewer feels that sinking feeling sink even deeper: everything's poisoned, everything's suspicious, everything's going down."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	La Vie En Rose (2007)	"... one of the best films about a great artist to be made since Milos Forman's Amadeus. Cotillard deserves an Oscar."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	The Lady and the Duke (2002)	"Who would have thought that in the year of Spider-Man and Attack of the Clones, the year's most innovative use of special effects would come in a film about the French Revolution?"	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B-	Lady in the Water (2006)	"[S]ome critics are failing to notice that this rather flawed film is set on the shoulders of Paul Giamatti who, with impressive stamina and spirit ... commands our attention more effectively than any other Hollywood leading man could."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A	Ladyhawke (1985)	"We need more fantasy like this: high adventure, brilliant swordplay, convincing magic, three-dimensional characters, arresting cinematography, and best of all, a good story."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	Lake Tahoe (2009)	"[Eimbcke finds] warmth, humor and grace in these ragged environments. Once we learn the cause of Juan's malaise, images we've already seen take on extraordinary significance."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	Lantana (2001)	"... boldly, thoroughly, and honestly explores the difficulties of unconditional love in a society that teaches us that we should never deny our base appetites and impulses."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B	Last Days (2005)	"Cinematographer Harris Savides manages to make these ... disintegrating environments and souls darkly beautiful. [But] Blake is a messiah ... dying for no one but himself."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C	Laws of Attraction (2004)	"... painfully predictable, full of super-sized implausibilities, and crowded with supporting characters that are underdeveloped and overplayed. "	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C	The Legend of Johnny Lingo (2003)	"The whole affair comes off as an after-school special filmed in the rainforest."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Levity (2003)	"... a bit heavy on talk and light on action, the film grapples with tough issues at the soul-level, instead of selling us feel-good lies or cynicism."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat F	The Life of David Gale (2003)	"The filmmakers work so hard to bewilder and to preach that they give us no opportunity to think clearly about the serious life-and-death issues that the film claims to address."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Lilo & Stitch (2002)	"... it unapologetically affirms that love can make good things happen in a broken family."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	The Limey (1999)	"Soderbergh's brilliant non-linear storytelling keeps us asking questions about this gunslinging Brit right to the end."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C-	Little Secrets (2001)	"These character live in an unblemished neighborhood, where everyone has bite-sized problems that can easily be resolved with a few kind words, a hug, and some tears."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	The Lives of Others (2006)	"... The Lives of Others illustrates, with only a dash of sentimentality, the truth that integrity leads to vulnerability and sacrifice."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C+	Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)	"If only it could have resisted revelry in its own style and violence, it might have been one 1999's best films, due to its performances and clever plot twists."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A+	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)	"The filmmakers have shown great respect for their source material. I was moved by Jackson's passionate, caring, and human portrayals of these characters and dramas."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	"Jackson finishes the epic with a flourish that leaves all other big screen fantasies thoroughly humbled."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Lost in La Mancha (2003)	"It's worth watching to catch glimpses of the Gilliam works, and to be strangely reassured that disasters and misfortune happen even to the best artists."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A+	Lost in Translation (2003)	"Sofia Coppola shows the eccentricity and subtlety of Jim Jarmusch, the poet's gift of Krzysztof Kieslowski, and a piercing sense of humor all her own."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C-	The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)	"If you liked Jurassic Park, you�ll probably like this one a little less. What the first film did poorly, this film does worse."	Jeffrey Overstreet
-	Love Me If You Dare (2004)	Click here to see the review.	J. Robert Parks
Tomato B	The Lovers on the Bridge (1991)	"I found the characters fascinating, and although they seemed far too melodramatic in their gestures of obsessive love, I enjoyed the spectacle of their adventures."	Jeffrey Overstreet
