Splat 1/5 |
Ladyhawke (1985) |
"Weak pacing makes for a difficult watching, despite the talented leads." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Splat C+ |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Skimming the surface of its subjects, The Ladykillers is really little more than an acting showcase for its ensemble." |

Tomato A- |
Last Dance (2002) |
"Stripped of pretentions, Last Dance offers up a wholly human, tantalizingly imperfect struggle to create beauty and resonance." |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"Lacking authenticity, history, or understanding of its subject, Zwick, Cruise and Company have simply ripped off Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai." |

Late Marriage (2001) |
"...arouses the audience's sympathy for a character who appears in the film for no more than ten minutes, while the 'hero' deserves nothing but our contempt." |
Jill Cozzi |
Tomato B+ |
Latter Days (2004) |
"Even as it subscribes to the conventions of modern romantic comedy, it never compromises its characters' truths." |
Gabriel Shanks |

The Legend of 1900 (1998) |
"Sometimes I sit through a movie and it feels like one of those old Mad Libs - cobbled together pieces of every other movie ever made. Then, along comes something like Giuseppe Tornatore's THE LEGEND OF 1900 and restores my faith in the magic of film." |

The Legend of Leigh Bowery (2003) |
"More hagiography than critique, smoothing out Bowery's rough edges to paint him as an irrepressibly charming svengali." |

Tomato B- |
The Limey (1999) |
"Stamp is the elder statesman of intelligent counterculture cinema, and his performance here makes what is otherwise a lackluster project come energetically alive." |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) |
"A dreamy marriage of myth and special effects, of great literature and popcorn entertainment." |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) |
"Jackson has matured as a filmmaker, trusting his story, his cinematographer, and his actors to convey a story of this size in a small and intimate manner." |
Jill Cozzi |
Tomato A+ |
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) |
"The most exciting vision captured on cinema, two years running." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Tomato A |
Lords of Dogtown (2005) |
"Reaches beyond the cinematic frame as far as it can to catch big air, giving its audience a you-are-there viscerality." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Tomato A |
Lost in Translation (2003) |
"Never rushed, never pushed, Coppola's steady hand is felt in almost every frame, gently coaxing her subjects and story to a deeper, invigorating resolution." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Tomato B+ |
The Louisiana Story (1948) |
"...worth a look as a relic from a time when industry meant progress instead of corruption, and as a profound influence on today's documentarians" |
Jill Cozzi |
Splat C |
Love Actually (2003) |
"Any love these characters may or may not actually share is so innocuous, and so downright false, that it sadly becomes invisible." |

Lovely & Amazing (2002) |
"...self-indulgent, self-destructive women ... who end up congratulating themselves on merely being able to get through the day" |

Tomato |
Lumiere & Company (1995) |
"Even the gamest of viewers will want to indulge her nostalgia judiciously, to avoid getting sour on the narcissism of the exercise." |
