Tomato 3/4 |
L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"It's a film that has substance and sweep to match its high sense of style." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C- |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"What it has is a tired narrative frame ... a lost ensemble cast, no depth of character and a series of situations taken straight from the land of obvious." |

The Lady and the Duke (2002) |
"Leave it to Rohmer, now 82, to find a way to bend current technique to the service of a vision of the past that is faithful to both architectural glories and commanding open spaces of the city as it was more than two centuries ago." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"These days, movie fans have grown accustomed to being force-fed a film's reality, to having it hammered home from first loud frame to last. Lady in the Water offers more subtle submersion, a baptism of soulful quirks and daringly sweet imagination." |
Tom Long |
Splat C+ |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"A cute but insubstantial exercise in stylish silliness that will likely be quickly forgotten." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 2/4 |
Lagaan (2001) |
"A one-stop shopping experience in the cinema of the subcontinent." |
Susan Stark |

The Lake House (2006) |
"The Lake House may float your boat if you're starved for romance, but really, love deserves better." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lake Placid (1999) |
"The funniest film of the summer!" |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"As Lakeview Terrace moves forward, it becomes clear this isn't a movie about the shuffling of black and white; it's a film about abusing power and desperately clinging to the status quo. It's a film about the fear of the future." |

Land of the Lost (2009) |
"When it comes to movies, there's good stupid and there's just plain stupid. Land of the Lost is just plain stupid, and that's not good." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 4/4 |
Lantana (2001) |
"The thorns in this film prick real blood, the color of which too few films can or care to examine. It is fine stuff indeed." |
Tom Long |
Splat D- |
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"A film as boring as its title is grammatically incorrect and long." |
Tom Long |
Splat 2/4 |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"Its heavily mined narrative throws all sorts of ridiculous twists into the mix in order to put Croft through her punishing paces." |

Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |
"It's the script by Nancy Oliver, the very idea of the thing, that steals your heart. Kink has never felt so sweet and decent." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B |
Lassie (2006) |
"You know people keep saying 'they don't make movies like that anymore'? Well, in the case of Lassie, they have. And they've made it well." |
Tom Long |
Splat C+ |
Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"A lightweight romance for the senior crowd, Last Chance Harvey does nothing in particular, but it does it fairly well thanks to stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson." |

The Last Kiss (2006) |
"... The Last Kiss is a simple movie, but it should spark a great many conversations between couples leading to potentially dangerous territory." |

The Last Mistress (2008) |
"There's a brittle pomp and circumstance to The Last Mistress, which suddenly turns into a sensual witch's dance, once star Asia Argento is let loose about a third of the way into the film." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Last Orders (2002) |
"This is human comedy at its most amusing, interesting and confirming." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato 2/4 |
Last Resort (2001) |
"There’s no denying that Last Resort is motivated by heart and solidly humane, altruistic intentions. The romantic glaze on the heartfelt core of the film, however, suggests commercial longings -- and naivete." |
Susan Stark |
Splat D |
The Last Samurai (2003) |
"This is one of those films that decries war while reveling in it, that praises the purity of the noble savage and then slays him, exulting in the blood while worrying over the act." |

The Last Winter (2007) |
"The problem is that the ghostly culprit, some sort of nature spirit, isn't nearly as terrifying as the arguments that Pollack makes, or the fact that the ice in such places really is weakening." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Late Marriage (2001) |
"A romantic comedy enriched by a sharp eye for manners and mores." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C- |
Latter Days (2004) |
"A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is." |

Laws of Attraction (2004) |
"Disappointingly tepid and lacking in essential chemistry, Laws of Attraction simply never adds up to much." |

Layer Cake (2005) |
"Bloody good fun a great deal of the time. Love the accents. Love the guns. Bang-bang." |

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) |
"Gentlemen is not in a league of its own, but in a league with too many others." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B- |
League of Ordinary Gentlemen (2005) |
"The film is part nostalgia, part wary tale of wasted youth and part underdog struggle." |
Tom Long |

Leatherheads (2008) |
"No one's saying George Clooney isn't a dashing fellow. But his charm and affability only go so far in Leatherheads." |

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"It may not be a great film, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sword." |

The Lemon Tree (2008) |
"This is a film about a problem, not a solution, and it's effectively upsetting." |
Tom Long |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"[It] may be the best live-action children's film of the year, a woven series of dark fairy tales that are witty and inventive enough for all ages." |
