The Amateurs (2007) |
"Never less than watchable, thanks to its superb cast, but it could and should have been so much better. A sadly wasted opportunity." |

Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Impressively directed, politically relevant and occasionally inspirational, this is an enjoyable, engaging drama with strong performances from its talented cast." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Amelia (2009) |
"Amelia is never less than watchable thanks to gorgeous cinematography and strong performances but the script's insistence on playing it safe prevents it from becoming the film it could have been." |

Tomato 3/5 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"American Gangster tells a fascinating story with impeccable production design and two powerhouse performances, but Ridley Scott is no Scorsese and the film never really comes together." |

An American Haunting (2006) |
"Disappointing horror film which fails to generate any suspense or horror and is occasionally downright laughable." |

American Teen (2008) |

The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"Reynolds is well cast in the lead - it's genuinely upsetting as the house starts to chip away at his Nice Guy persona. He also spends a huge amount of the film either half-naked or dripping wet, if you like that sort of thing.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Doesn't quite live up to the promise of its admittedly funny trailer, though it does have several good laugh-out-loud gags." |
Matthew Turner |

Andrew and Jeremy Get Married (2004) |
"A good soundtrack, which employs different types of music to subtly distinguish each character and finds a brilliantly moving use for Aretha Franklin’s 'Never Loved A Man'." |

Angel-A (2007) |
"The film looks terrific - Besson shoots his beloved Paris in gorgeous black and white photography that recalls both Wings of Desire and It's A Wonderful Life, both of which Angel-A happily steals from." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Enjoyable thriller, thanks to a strong cast, a decent plot, some good set-pieces and some surprisingly pacey direction from Ron Howard." |

Anita & Me (2002) |
"There's good support too, especially from Kathy Burke, who steals the film with a short, under-stated burst of classy acting in a key scene ..." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Año Uña (2008) |
"The fact that the film unfolds entirely in still photographs may seem excessively arthouse, but this is a surprisingly engaging, impressively directed and ultimately moving coming-of-age drama." |

The Ant Bully (2006) |
"Enjoyable, brightly animated adventure with strong characters, superb gags and a script that isn't afraid to throw in a spot of political subtext." |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"Basically, the title says it all and if you're unlucky enough to end up seeing this, you'll be repeating that title for the entire 96 minutes. Avoid." |
Matthew Turner |

Are We There Yet? (2005) |
"The problem is that, if anything, [Ice Cube] is too likeable - he's never allowed to really get angry with the kids, which severely hampers the comic potential of the premise." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Aristocrats (2005) |
"Frequently amusing documentary with an impressive array of talking heads, though the joke wears thin way before the end of the film." |
