Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Akeelah and the Bee may spell it out for you, but it pulls few punches in its depiction of the hurdles a verbally gifted South Central L.A. 11-year-old (Keke Palmer) must clear." |

The Alamo (2004) |
"Never harmonizes into a cinematic experience any more resonant than the average, manly, why-we-fight pic, or coalesces into a stirring cry for freedom." |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
"The film is a cross between When Harry Met Sally... and The Princess Bride, says Kate Hudson ..." |

Alex and Emma (2003) |

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker is Agent Cody Banks played British and kinda straight -- that is, as straight as you can when your villain is played by a toothpick-chomping Mickey Rourke in purple eye shadow." |

Alexander (2004) |
"Everything we're told about Alexander remains an abstraction, an index-card idea for a character pasted onto Farrell's less-than-mythic presence." |

Alexander the Last (2009) |
"What looks like a drama of adultery turns out to be an exploration of how the spaces between people can separate them or join them, often at the same moment." |

Alfie (2004) |

Alien Trespass (2009) |
"That warm tone, along with the picture's bright, saturated, anti-CGI look, is a welcome respite from jokes, irony, and the postmodern malaise of know-it-all-ness." |

Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing." |

Alien: The Director's Cut (2003) |
"In space, the famous tagline went, no one can hear you scream. In Alien, you can hear lessons for the sci-fi future in a great milestone from the recent past." |

Tomato B- |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"The ensuing war of the worlds is waged with weapons as fearsome as a bubble blower, a skateboard, and a sort of anti-gravity grenade that, frankly, looks like a lot of fun." |
Adam Markovitz |
Tomato B+ |
Aliens of the Deep (2005) |
"It's good that a kid, and maybe even an adult, may want to 'touch' one of the so-called aliens thrust out for our inspection. But more important, a kid, and maybe even an adult, may want to become a human scientist." |

All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |

All or Nothing (2002) |
" With one exception, every blighter in this particular South London housing project digs into dysfunction like it's a big, comforting jar of Marmite, to be slathered on crackers and served as a feast of bleakness." |

Along Came Polly (2004) |
"I chuckled a few times at Along Came Polly, if only because Ben Stiller is willing to stoop as low as he can to turn himself into a clown prince of humiliation: the man who would be dork." |
