Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
"The result is a complete hash." |

Tomato B |
American Hardcore (2006) |
"Punk is dead, and the movie is ultimately just a hell of an autopsy." |
Alex Markerson |
Splat C |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"Apocalypto isn't forgotten quite so easily as your average nightmare, but there isn't much in it worth remembering, either." |
Alex Markerson |
Splat C+ |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"Emotionally Appaloosa shoots blanks." |
Alex Markerson |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"The low-rent, patchwork animation wears on the eyes really fast, and most of the comedic dead horses do exactly what dead horses usually do: lie there and rot." |
Alex Markerson |

Accepted (2006) |
"So messy that it feels like it was peeled off the floor of a bathroom stall. It's moldy and cold. Nobody smart is anywhere in sight." |
Caroline Kepnes |

Australia (2008) |
"The beautiful locations and production values can't compensate for all the thin characters and lack of originality." |
Chris Farnsworth |
Splat C+ |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"Sure, the jokes are obvious, the plot's a little corny -- but c'mon, it's a movie about talking chipmunks." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Tomato B |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"Even as the story drags a bit, it balances enough gross gags for the kids (poop jokes!) with verbal trickery for the adults, -- so every member of your colony will feel satisfied." |
JR Griffin |
Tomato B- |
Adventureland (2009) |
"...has an undercurrent of tragedy that makes it feel more authentic than most others" |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Splat C- |
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"Director Sax is unable to generate much tension in the action scenes, even rendering a nice bit of Donnie Yen martial arts choreography incomprehensible." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato B- |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"A surprisingly likable execution of a very thin premise" |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Splat C |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"Seems like every year around this time, a group of serious, mostly British actors decide to affect exaggerated Southern accents and don period costumes, in the service of making some popular novel look ridiculously affected onscreen." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Splat C+ |
Astro Boy (2009) |
"Hollywood's attempts to do the anime style never seem to get it ... That Astro Boy gets at least some of the elements right could be seen as some kind of triumph -- just not enough of one to induce us to recommend it." |
Luke Y. Thompson |

The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"...it would have been better set in the Polish brothers' allegorical, surreal world, rather than ours." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato A |
Avatar (2009) |
"Believe the hype. James Cameron's decade-in-the-making sci-fi dream project...is an immersive epic unlike any other." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato B |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"This slice of Franken's life feels just a bit on the slight side, but the fact it leaves you wanting more is a credit to his casual charm and snarky humor." |
Matt Stevens |
Tomato B |
Arctic Tale (2007) |
"No, it doesn’t stand up to March of the Penguins or soar like Winged Migration, but this family-friendly flick does manage the happy feat of raising eco-awareness." |
Matt Stevens |
Splat C |
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
"The film touts its 'dazzling' hybrid of live action and 'groundbreaking' CGI, but the visuals can't compare to Happy Feet or any Pixar release." |
Matt Stevens |
Tomato A- |
Atonement (2007) |
"The film digs deeper and becomes more complex as it goes along, with a coda that delivers a powerful message: Art has the potential to heal and redeem. It'd be hard not to find Atonement pretty damn therapeutic." |
Matt Stevens |
Tomato B- |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"If you’re willing to submit to the schmaltz and the clichés, then there is a fun anticipation in not knowing what creative imagery or long-loved song Taymor might use next." |
N.V. Cooper |
Splat C- |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"This diligent yet dull religious caper only adds to the long list of Tom Hanks throwaway features, movies best enjoyed on airplanes." |
N.V. Cooper |
Splat C- |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"An absolute misfire." |
N.V. Cooper |
Tomato B+ |
Away We Go (2009) |
"Krasinki is able to anchor the movie with a limber, melancholy performance -- and doesn't draw too heavily from his overflowing reservoir of nice-guy charm." |
N.V. Cooper |

Amelia (2009) |
"we're treated to little more than generic montages and lots of '30s-style news reels. Lots and lots of news reels." |
Peter Paras |
Tomato A- |
American Gangster (2007) |
"The beautiful/violent American Gangster has plenty of talent behind the camera, in director Ridley Scott, but the film's key player is Denzel Washington." |
Peter Paras |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"Don't expect classic screwball charm from this by-the-numbers family gagfest." |
Simon Glickman |
Tomato B+ |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Aside from an excess of female hysterics, there is solid acting throughout. (Accused of tweaking at work, Foster's Jake pulls off a tantrum on the level of Spud's job interview in Trainspotting.)" |
Skylaire Alfvegren |
Tomato B |
American Teen (2008) |
"Whether you consider high school the best years of your life or are happy to have left them behind, director Burstein brings it all back." |

Awake (2007) |
"Will he wake up? Will he die? Will his voice-over ever stop? Will the pain, the infernal pain, of this insufferable film ever end? All is revealed within 78 minutes, but it's doubtful you'll be awake." |
Tod Goldberg |

"Will Smith talks about being Muhammad Ali!" |
Veronica Mixon |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Very ambitious and only mildly engaging." |

Splat B- |
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"The story becomes increasingly disjointed and, by the end, inert." |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Ambitiously intriguing? Yup. Absolutely insightful? Sure. Almost intolerable? Yes." |

Abandon (2002) |
"A lot of confusion -- for not a lot of payoff." |

Aberdeen (2001) |
"Like all family reunions, this one's difficult to attend -- but worth it." |
|
Tomato A- |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Boy doesn't give in to the kind of sappy sentimentality most films like to lap up and barf out. Instead, this solid, smart comedy remains calm, classy and funny, as Grant gives the ladies another reason to fall for him." |
|
Splat |
About Adam (2001) |
"The sex may be great, but you're left feeling somewhat cheated by the rest of the story." |
|
Tomato A |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"Nicholson embraces his age and gives an understated, movie-carrying performance that constantly reminds us of his greatness." |

Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Are you looking for a gay romance where no one has to die tragically or suffer a loveless life alone? Then this fluffy indie should hit the spot." |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"For the non-Sandler faithful, the potty humor is execrable." |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"Woefully underprepared to make an impact with either adults who grew up watching the series or a gang of new, young, bright-eyed fans." |
