A.Li.Ce (1999)

"...manages to reel the viewer in early with its admittedly oddball premise."

The Abandoned (2007)

"An admittedly stylish piece of work that's ultimately undone by an overly deliberate pace and increasingly confusing screenplay."

Abel Raises Cain (2005)

"...a fun, easy-going documentary..."

Abominable (2006)

"Thoroughly uneven yet undeniably entertaining..."

Absence of the Good (1999)

"This is a story that could have been told in about 25 minutes but has excrutiatingly been stretched out to an hour and 45 minutes."

Accepted (2006)

"Sporadically entertaining but relentlessly lightweight..."

The Acid House (1998)

"If I could give this movie a negative rating, I would."

Across the Universe (2007)

"Visually and thematically audacious..."

Acts of Worship (2001)

"...just not all that entertaining..."

Adam Resurrected (2008)

"...a wrong-headed and surprisingly interminable failure from prolific filmmaker Schrader."

Adam's Apples (2007)

"An odd, blacker-than-black comedy that's almost impossible to describe."

Adoration (2009)

"...ultimately overcomes an almost disastrously plodding opening half hour to become a slight yet somewhat engaging piece of work."

Adventures of the American Rabbit (1985)

"...[makes] even the most quickie straight-to-video Disney release look astounding by comparison."

Affliction (1997)

"Despite some great performances, Affliction never really takes off."

After Midnight (1989)

"...how can you go wrong with a flick that features the girl from Mr. Belvedere being mauled to death by crazy dogs?"

After the Sunset (2004)

"...a fluffy time-killer."

The Age of Ignorance (2007)

"...a staggeringly disappointing effort from a genuinely talented filmmaker."

Agent Cody Banks (2003)

"...essentially a mediocre rehash of various spy flicks."

Agora (2009)

"...terminally uninvolving virtually from start to finish."

Airborne (1999)

"Airborne wants desperately to be a big-time action flick, but with a budget that was apparently lower than an episode of V.I.P., it just doesn't work."

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

"...a sporadically engaging drama."

Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)

"...distinctly underwhelming..."

Alexander (2004)

"...it seems fairly clear that [Alexander's] life just isn't interesting enough to warrant an entire movie (particularly one that runs almost three hours)."

Alfie (2004)

"...Alfie - when you get right down to it - isn't a terribly likable character, something that certainly makes it difficult to actually care about his fate."

Alice (1990)

"Supposedly whimsical fantasy by Woody Allen feels forced and underdeveloped. Great performances by Joe Mantegna and Mia Farrow are lost in Allen's bizarre dream world."
