A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Linklater has adapted Philip K. Dick's 1977 novel faithfully, and his unusual technique seems a valid choice for the world Dick created in that book." |
Andy Klein |

Abominable (2006) |
"It has the requisite number of scary moments, but, as is often the case, keeps the jeopardy up by having people behave inexplicably stupidly." |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
" ... presents the general chronology of Wilson's life, which is certainly interesting ... but it's unclear whether the movie serves his work well..." |

Adam Resurrected (2008) |
"It seems to have been written in a tone of magical realism, but the director is Paul Schrader, a filmmaker who has many talents, but no feel for whimsy, let alone magic." |
Andy Klein |
Tomato |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"For most of its length it's wonderfully wicked -- Jensen actually forces us to sympathize with the neo-Nazi's attitude toward the minister -- but the ending unfortunately mitigates the nastiness ..." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |

Alexandra (2008) |

Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"[Uwe Boll] makes things on the cheap...so people keep giving him money, even though he doesn’t seem to know how to point a camera at his actors, let alone operate it." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Splat |
Alone With Her (2007) |
"Despite its cleverness, however, nearly everything is predictable; in a sense, this is a higher-tech version of The Collector, and it doesn't really take us anywhere we haven't been many times before." |

Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
