Avatar (2009) |
"[Cameron] goes for it and damn it if it didn't leave me with a lump in my throat for much the film. There is so much passion in this work, it's just exhilirating. Take the trip." |
Josh Horowitz |
Splat 1/4 |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"[A] real-world movie that's essentially been spray-painted, Scanner has turned its back on one of animation's greatest strengths: the playful elasticity that allows characters to stretch and soar in impossible ways." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 7.5/10 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Apart from the consistently funny lines and situations that flow through the movie, there's an unusually perceptive appreciation of the part that music plays in people's lives." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Alexander (2004) |
"The picture is so thoroughly ridiculous, it's hard to know where to begin in listing its infelicities. But I'll try.
" |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
Alien Trespass (2009) |
"If you're not going to have fun with such a silly cinematic subgenre, what's the point in resurrecting it? Or, from the more pertinent audience point of view, in seeing it?" |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 0/5 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"Clueless." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 5/5 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"There are in fact no bad performances in this picture. The events depicted are often ugly and sometimes repulsive, but Cassavetes never flinches from depicting them fully" |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who (2007) |
"The documentary is straightforward in its chronology, and plump with concert footage" |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/5 |
American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006) |
"The picture is mesmerizing, in a crash-on-the-highway sense; but the fact that your worst suspicions about the people who cook up some of this stuff are confirmed is in no way gratifying." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
American Gangster (2007) |
"If nothing else, American Gangster exposes Brian De Palma's Scarface -- the most popular drug saga among gangster wannabes -- as the crude cartoon that it is." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"The movie's only aspiration is to be a jacked-up re-jiggering of a name-brand horror 'classic.' It sets out to be not just schlock, but pre-chewed schlock." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 7/10 |
An Education (2009) |
"The movie has a distinctively modulated tone. None of the period touches are overdone, and the central issue of Jenny and David's gaping age difference is never addressed by any of the characters -- as if to do so, in their world, would be boorish." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Anamorph (2008) |
"On a scale of one to Se7en, Miller's doomed rip barely rates." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Angels & Demons is humorless, and way too talky. It leaves Hanks, one of the most likable actors in movies, stranded, unable to use his skill and his warmth to turn the one-dimensional Langdon into an actual character." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
Antichrist (2009) |
""Antichrist" is a curious mash-up of cutting-edge torture-porn and good old porn-porn that fails on both fronts." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) |
"The movie is an intoxicating blend of blind faith and heartbreak, but while it's very funny, the abundant laughs are only half of what makes it such an unexpectedly inspiring document." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 4/5 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
""Apocalypto" isn't a movie for everyone, Lord knows. Those who dislike even the thought of a big, black jungle cat chewing the face off a fallen warrior should probably see another movie." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"If I were inclined to wheel out cliches like "Oscar-worthy," I'd certainly wheel them out in support of this movie, on several counts." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"The central problem with this [film] is its essential uselessness. It does its job, I guess. But the job was already done a lot better a long time ago." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
August (2008) |
"...the picture ... provides Josh Hartnett with one of his most interesting roles, and it elicits one of his sharpest performances." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Australia (2008) |
"Its story is such a fusty melange of Western-movie cliches that we might as well be camped out in the old cowpoke canyons of Utah, listening to the ghost of John Ford wonder who forgot to shoot the writers." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 3/5 |
Avatar (2009) |
"James Cameron's "Avatar" is the most amazing ... no, wait: the most staggeringly amazing, jaw-droppingly triple-awesome unbelievable movie ever made." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
The Aviator (2004) |
"Another of [Scorsese's] masterpieces, crowded with superb performances. It may be two and a half hours long, but it comes at you like a B-52 bomber, and it flies by.
