La Ley De Herodes (2000) |
"Herod's Law is beautifully photographed, its imagery glazed with a sepia patina that suggests dust and neglect." |
Matt Weitz |

Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Doesn't plumb many depths, but it derives its power from the idea of unity in the face of danger, which also can be taken as a post-Sept. 11 theme." |

Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Hey, wanting a movie to compute is not the same as resisting fairy-tale eloquence." |

Ladykillers (2004) |

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"At least now we have a clue about what's in Pandora's Box: It's movies like this." |
Mark Wolf |
Tomato B |
Last Days (2005) |
"Van Sant has given us a kind of cinema of negation. Like it or not, it's probably something we need to make room for -- if a little grudgingly." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Macdonald knows how to hold our interest, and he gives his movie a dizzying sense of momentum, not unlike the mad whirl that surrounds Amin." |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"The movie's worth seeing for scenery, costumes, exoticism and a final battle sequence that more than delivers the goods." |

Layer Cake (2005) |
"An appropriately hard-boiled quality runs through the movie, and the cast (from top to bottom) brings its best, putting the frosting on this nasty bit of Layer Cake." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B+ |
Le Cercle Rouge (1970) |
"I can't say that Cercle Rouge is an overlooked masterpiece, but it's an amazing antidote to the current style of filmmaking in which silence and causal relationships are routinely disregarded." |

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) |
"A dreary and disheveled adventure that qualifies as one of summer's bigger disappointments." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
League of Ordinary Gentlemen (2005) |
"Manages to be funny, sad and as informative as you'd want any movie about bowling to be." |

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
" As it turns out, Legend of Zorro is a spirited, though fairly generic, action movie about a guy who habitually abandons his gorgeous wife, puts on black clothes and carries a whip." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"This spare-no-expense, inventive production provides constant visual stimulation, and it tries to teach a lesson: Life may be grim, but it offers small victories." |
Robert Denerstein |

Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2006) |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"Eastwood is now 76, and Letters has the feel of a movie made by a man of experience. Almost stately in its tone, Letters reflects the wisdom of living; it's interested in observing how men behave when they know they can't win." |

Lilo & Stitch (2002) |
"An entertaining and (three cheers) modest bauble that eschews most of the blockbuster trappings that have been strangling animated features in the past few years." |

Lilya 4-Ever (2003) |
"It tells a heartbreaking story, one of those tales that need to be told and about which only pain can be felt." |

A Lion in the House (2006) |
"I'm recommending the movie because it must be regarded as an extraordinary expression of will, endurance and fortitude." |

Little Black Book (2004) |
"Shrill and prone to annoying overstatement, Murphy poses the first of many problems with Little Black Book, a lame attempt to meld comedy, romance and satire." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B- |
Little Children (2006) |
"Well-acted and meticulously crafted, Little Children can feel less like a full-blooded representation of life than a disquieting literary exercise." |

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"Like all superior comedies, this one revolves around wonderful performances." |

Little Nicky (2000) |
"What could be worse than a bad Sandler comedy? How about a bad Sandler comedy with special effects?" |

The Lives of Others (2006) |
"Morally complex, beautifully shaded and filled with fascinating characters, this debut film from director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck brings us into a world that severely tests moral fiber." |

The Longest Yard (2005) |

Look at Me (2005) |
"Set in a sophisticated Parisian milieu, Look at Me becomes a fascinating study in moral compromise as well as an astute depiction of life among a small group of intellectuals ostensibly living the good life." |

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006) |
"Looking for Comedy may offend some, but compared to what you might have expected, it's powder- puff stuff, a wan journey that discovers virtually nothing about the Muslim world or anything else, really." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B+ |
The Lookout (2007) |
"Scott's script feels as economical and focused as an entry in Chris' diary, and it provides the framework for a thriller that, for the most part, has been hard-boiled to near perfection." |
