Tomato A |
About Schmidt (2002) |

Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Perhaps you would find more success at a direct-to-video institution. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"Just as often silly as it is clever." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"It may be dressed up with some clever language and A-list actors, but it's still the equivalent of the smart kid in class who ignored the assignment." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"A formulaic Hollywood 'crowd-pleaser' that can be summed up in three words ('Teenage James Bond!')." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"While it's not John Wayne caliber, it'll satisfy anyone looking for a sugar-coated history lesson." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"There are aliens. There are predators. They fight. What more do you want?" |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 5/5 |
Alien: The Director's Cut (2003) |
"It's scary, smart, well-acted and just as effective now as it was in 1979. Go see it." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"It's hard to believe that so many good actors can be put to such poor use." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"[It's] like watching 10 minutes of There's Something About Mary, followed by 10 minutes of High Fidelity, followed by 10 minutes of Friends." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Calls for more explanation and less posturing." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"If it's not Scott's Godfather, it's certainly as close as he's ever going to get." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"Adequately marking time until the next inevitable (and pointless) horror remake comes along." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"The barrage of very funny jokes makes up for any missteps, and by the end of the film you'll likely only remember the good parts." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"A gorgeous-looking film whose crisp, black-and-white photography is unfortunately much more thrilling than its simplistic, cloying story." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Yes, Antwone Fisher is a good movie, in the way that lima beans are good food. You may leave the theater feeling fortified, but you'll have a bad taste in your mouth." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Ararat (2002) |
"[Egoyan is] so careful telling the story of the genocide that much of the film feels cold and didactic, like watching a slide show in a lecture hall." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Aristocrats (2005) |
"It's funny and it makes you think; isn't that the definition of a good joke?" |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
Around the World in 80 Days (2004) |
"Consists almost entirely of people falling down and/or being hit on the head." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Art School Confidential (2006) |
"Feels forced and gimmicky." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 3/5 |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"Despite Penn's evocative portrayal of the desperate Bicke, you can figure out from the first five minutes exactly where the film is going." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"A cuddly mainstream film for weird outcasts everywhere." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Atonement (2007) |
"Epic and occasionally heartbreaking but never as powerful or cohesive as it ought to be." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2/5 |
August Rush (2007) |
"The leaden script is full of empty romantic pronouncements that sound neither believable nor wondrous." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato B |
Auto Focus (2002) |
"Crane's story is a modern Hollywood tragedy, and Schrader and Kinnear treat it with the utmost respect, creating a film that is both touching and bittersweet." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Avatar (2009) |
"It's rare to recommend seeing a movie for its effects alone, but that's exactly the case here." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Away We Go (2009) |
"It's Mendes' slightest, most inconsequential movie yet, but that's exactly what's so nice about it." |

A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"... not everything old is new again and techniques that were revolutionary in the '60s are merely curious 45 years later." |

Adam & Steve (2006) |
