American Teen (2008) |
"Burstein could be faulted for occasionally staging her 'plot points,' but she can't be accused of making anything but a riveting piece of film." |

Appaloosa (2008) |
"It isn't a bad film, but the pacing drags it down to the level of just another horse opera when it could have been so much more." |

After The Wedding (2007) |
"Who'd have thought a Danish soap opera would be as bad as an American one?" |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
American Gangster (2007) |
"Do we need yet another film about drug dealers? No, especially not one that takes 157 minutes to get where it's going." |

The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"[The film has] a plodding, pedestrian (at best) script, utterly uninvolving characters and easy potshots at the usual suspects." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Away From Her should be required viewing for caregivers, and perhaps for all of us who have aging relatives." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"An interesting idea, with which almost nothing is done." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"One could quibble about the need for another spelling bee film, but at least this one has some fine performances and a worthwhile message to recommend it." |

Art School Confidential (2006) |
"Unfortunately, Clowes' script is lame and littered with stereotypes, and the performances of Max Minghella, Sophia Myles, John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent and Anjelica Huston can't save it." |

After Innocence (2005) |
"Sanders has an important message, unfortunately diluted by unimaginative shooting and insufficient editing." |

America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"If you need a break from all the chatter about Iraq and Michael Moore's latest film, give America's Heart and Soul a try." |

Tomato |
The Aviator (2004) |
"It boasts competence all around, two boffo performances by DiCaprio and Blanchett (whose Hepburn is near-perfect), terrific directing (maybe this is finally Scorsese's year), great cinematography by Robert Richardson, and a fascinating subject." |

Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Anger Management (2003) |
"The plot is a little too thick for a comedy, but the extensive cast of interesting characters, many of them Rydell's anger patients, make it work and the end is definitely worth sticking around for." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Assassination Tango (2003) |
"It doesn't offer enough depth to command attention, sometimes even becoming downright soporific.enes, the old bag switcheroo, dim-bulb crooks and zany antics." |

About a Boy (2002) |
"A pleasant enough -- if slight -- comedy." |

All or Nothing (2002) |
"Not cheery, nor for all tastes, but it is extremely well done." |

American Adobo (2002) |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |

Ali (2001) |
"A 154-minute film that is both too much and not enough -- too much boxing, too many hours to sit, and too few connections." |

All About My Mother (1999) |
"All these characters are a bit beyond the pale, but Almodovar invests them with more humanity than he has in previous films. And all of them, despite the craziness of their lives, just keep on truckin.'" |
