Alien Apocalypse (2005) |
"By the time the Spartacus-inspired finale rolls around, it's clear we're not meant to take any of this seriously..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
Alien Siege (2005) |
"...initially comes off as a low-budget yet basically entertaining science fiction tale that eventually (and quickly) wears out its welcome in a big way." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"While...the movie isn't good exactly, it's certainly not the trainwreck everybody's been expecting." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"...an utterly needless sequel that's sure to disappoint fans of both franchises..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Alila (2004) |
"...Gitai has populated the story with one unlikable character after another, making it impossible for the viewer to connect with anything on screen." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
All Hat (2007) |
"...the film is ultimately lacking in elements designed to hold the viewer's interest for more than a few minutes at a time." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
All New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy: For Love or Mummy (1999) |
"...aimed squarely at the under
10 crowd (with no apologies for it)." |
David Nusair |
Splat 0/4 |
All Revved Up (1997) |
"Avoid [All Revved Up] at all costs, even if you've got to watch a three-hour Celine Dion concert or plunge nails into your thighs." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos (2005) |
"...the film's positives are ultimately undone by some seriously uneven pacing and a screenplay that places far more emphasis on backstory than necessary." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
All That Heaven Allows (1955) |
"The enjoyability of All That Heaven Allows is hampered by the fact that there's no real plot here." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"...it's just so dull..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |

David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"...asking the viewer to accept Tara Reid as a scientist is pure insanity, requiring a staggering leap of faith that I can't even begin to contemplate." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Along Came a Spider isn't a smart thriller like Se7en or Copycat; instead, it's more of a watchable idiotic thriller." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Sporadically intriguing but ultimately ineffective..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Already Dead (2007) |

David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Altered (2006) |
"...generally comes off as an engaging and genuinely creepy little horror flick..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"...has clearly been geared exclusively towards younger viewers (indiscriminating, undemanding younger viewers at that)." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
The Amateurs (2007) |
"...ultimately finds itself unable to hold the viewer's interest for more than a few minutes at a time." |
David Nusair |

American Gangster (2007) |
"...generally possesses the feel of a rough cut that's in dire need of trimming..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Gun (2002) |
"Right up until [the] fatal last reel, American Gun is a mostly engaging and intriguing character study of an expectedly determined man." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
American Gun (2006) |
"...an overblown and surprisingly tedious polemic." |
David Nusair |
Splat .5/4 |
American Kickboxer 2 (1993) |
"...with one-liners like "your *** is grass and we're the lawnmowers!", the movie would surely work better amongst friends and a lot of booze." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
American Outlaws (2001) |
"...instantly forgettable." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
American Perfekt (1997) |
"[American Perfekt] wants to get by on quirkiness and so-called charm alone, and it just doesn't work." |
David Nusair |

American Pie (1999) |
"With no storyline to fall back on, the film essentially sinks into mediocrity." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"...even though the majority of the jokes fail completely, the movie still manages to be entertaining enough to be considered an
inoffensive time-waster..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005) |
"...a shoddy and blatant cash grab." |
David Nusair |

American Wedding (2003) |
"American Wedding supposedly marks the end of the American Pie series, which is something of a shame, considering each successive film seems to improve upon its predecessor." |

Splat 2/4 |
American Women (2000) |
"...an innocuous, thoroughly forgettable comedy..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Americano (2006) |
"Americano certainly succeeds as a romanticized travelogue, and if this doesn't make one want to grab a backpack and head for the hills of Spain, nothing will." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
Amityville 2 - The Possession (1982) |
"The rampant silliness of the movie's first half is certainly preferable to the utterly dull second half..." |

Amityville 3-D (1983) |
"...thoroughly bereft of any interesting ideas, as evidenced by the film's absurdly underwhelming climax..." |

The Amityville Horror (1979) |
"...certainly looks a whole lot better when compared to its sequels." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"...if nothing else, The Amityville Horror deserves kudos for eschewing teenagers and self-referential bits of comedy in favor of ambiance and flat-out horror..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Education (2009) |
"...the film's appeal ultimately lies in its irresistibly evocative visuals, Nick Hornby's snappy, clever dialogue, and, in particular, the splendid performances from an almost flawless cast..." |
