Splat
2.5/4

Apres Vous (2005)

"The story crash-lands in contrivance, losing its way in the third act."

Lisa Rose

Splat
2/4

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007)

"It's one thing to catch Aqua Teen in 15-minute increments on TV, but sitting through a feature-length onslaught is an endurance test even for devoted viewers."

Lisa Rose

Splat
1.5/4

Aquamarine (2006)

"Girls deserve a fun time at the movies, but they also deserve movies with a better message than Fib, Flirt and Shop."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
2.5/4

Are We Done Yet? (2007)

"For all his scowling bluster, Ice Cube long ago turned into a bit of a teddy bear. (Is this really the guy who rapped on N.W.A.'s 'Straight Outta Compton'?)"

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

Are We There Yet? (2005)

"Delivers on some pretty basic childhood fantasies -- chiefly, kids seeing themselves in control, and watching adults in comical pain. And it does it too quickly and competently for their grown-up chaperones to mind much."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

The Aristocrats (2005)

"There's something fascinating in its experiment of giving 100 comics the same joke to tell. Something provocative in what it has to show us about good humor and bad taste and taboos."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

Army of Shadows (1969)

"The cast of characters is small and well-drawn by an ensemble of veteran actors."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Around the Bend (2004)

"It's a shame we only get a hint of substance at the close of the story, and have to sit through so many lame jokes and so much labored symbolism to get there."

Lisa Rose

Tomato

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

"A journey worth taking."

Lisa Rose

Splat
2/4

Art School Confidential (2006)

"Every teacher is a burn-out, every student is a fraud and experimental artists are the worst burn-outs and frauds of all."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

Ask the Dust (2005)

"The hard-boiled prose is translated into a schmaltzy movie with too much sap and not enough grit."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
4/4

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

"...an epic film that's part literary treatise, part mournful ballad, and completely a portrait of our world, as seen in a distant mirror."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2.5/4

The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)

"There's little here to make his movie truly dramatic, or even different from those that have gone before."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

"Making a B-movie out of an old A-movie -- which is what Carpenter did -- is smart and fun. Making an A-movie out of an old B-movie -- which is what director Jean-Francois Richet tries to do here -- is just sort of silly."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

Assisted Living (2005)

"He makes a few misguided choices, but the intentions are admirable and the film ultimately wins audience sentiment."

Lisa Rose

Splat
1.5/4

The Astronaut Farmer (2007)

"What could have been a sagebrush Fitzcarraldo wants to be a feel-good fable."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

ATL (2006)

"A good message isn't enough to justify a $10 ticket. You also need a good movie."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

Atonement (2007)

"A gripping film."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

The Aura (2006)

"The movie's mood is haunting, and its central image of a man able to shed his morality as easily as an old raincoat hints at a filmmaker who had deeper concerns than mere thrills."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

Aurora Borealis (2006)

"Aurora Borealis is Duncan's story, and it's picked up some of his bad habits; like him, it's not sure what it wants to be."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

Australia (2008)

"This film is a long love song written in two parts, and these actors duet nicely."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
1.5/4

Automne (2004)

"Unfortunately, the story of Ra'up McGee's pigheaded perseverance is a better story than the one he filmed."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

Autumn Spring (2003)

"Charms, due chiefly to the wonderful talent of Brodsky."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

Avatar (2009)

"Even if this is old-fashioned storytelling, there’s a lot of it -- and it has Cameron’s directing DNA in every scene."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
2.5/4

Avenue Montaigne (2007)

"Its cozy pleasures will do just fine."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3.5/4

The Aviator (2004)

"Another director would have made an uplifting picture about a great American success. Scorsese, instead, has made the only picture he could, risking studio millions on an intensely personal epic about a dark, complicated failure."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
2.5/4

Away From Her (2007)

"With luck, [more] skills will develop in Polley, and we'll have the opportunity to watch them. For now, though, we have Christie to look at. And the heartbreaking slow-motion tragedy of a vibrant woman being buried alive under the shifting sands."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2.5/4

Away We Go (2009)

"Away We Go promises a funky emotional road trip, and delivers a few funny snapshots. But it takes too many detours, tarries too long in nothing-to-do backwaters, and finally arrives at a destination that was inevitable from the start."

Stephen Whitty
