Splat	Across the Universe (2007)	"Across the Universe feels like something entombed on Broadway, made to instruct bored tourists while grasping after Importance. It�s an anomalous musical epic: a Pop movie without the excitement of pop."	Armond White
Splat	Adam Resurrected (2008)	"Watching an entire film revolving around Goldblum becomes an exercise in frustration."	Mark Peikert
Tomato	Adventureland (2009)	"Adventureland adds appreciable humanity to the genre, improving the adolescent egotism inflected by Dazed and Confused and the vulgar excesses of Superbad."	Armond White
Tomato	Adventures of Power (2009)	"For all the cheap shots in Gold�s script, Adventures of Power views air-drumming with a surprising affection."	Matthew Connolly
Splat	The Air I Breathe (2007)	"It�s particularly frustrating to watch Whittaker, the strongest thespian of the bunch, desperately mine for gold in a narrative landslide."	Eric Kohn
Tomato	Alexandra (2008)	"Sokurov�s sentimental poetry embroiders a nation�s personal connections to the military; he shows the ineffable grace that contemporary American filmmakers are too pent up to grant us -- truths about fealty that our movies neglect."	Armond White
Splat	An American Affair (2009)	"A clich�-ridden hodgepodge of film genres."	Mark Peikert
Splat	American Gangster (2007)	"American Gangster�s simultaneous celebration of crime, punishment and upward mobility should be titled Cry Capitalism. That�s the code of the new Western."	Armond White
Splat	American Teen (2008)	"This is a vile misuse of the intimate, verit� and reportorial technique that the Maysles, Pennebaker and other doc pioneers worked so hard to justify."	Armond White
Tomato	Amreeka (2009)	"Amreeka isn't great, but it's a relief when a movie that touches on America's post-9/11 unease regarding Muslims and the Arab world isn't full of condemnation."	Armond White
Splat	An Education (2009)	"The plot�s a cynical/sentimental rip-off of Flaubert�s novel Sentimental Education, yet full of commercial calculation -- including Scherfig�s romantic view of the Paris assignation."	Armond White
Splat	Anamorph (2008)	"A grimy, ugly film about death and the living dead in New York City, without the redeeming ambition of Seven or even the cultural commentary of Summer of Sam."	Mark Peikert
Splat	Angels & Demons (2009)	"This overwrought chase/final-countdown movie is as banal as the genre comes. It�s not a well-made action film; it�s just expensively made."	Armond White
Tomato	Antarctica (2008)	"Manages to combine sizzling sex scenes with an actual heart, putting all of the low-budget gay trash that American audiences must suffer through to shame."	Mark Peikert
Splat	Antichrist (2009)	"The quasi-religious title is misleading provocation; Antichrist is really anti-cinema."	Armond White
Tomato	Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)	"After 1984�s heavy-metal satire This Is Spinal Tap started the mockumentary craze, most documentary makers pandered to audiences through sarcasm and propaganda. But the true-life heavy-metal Anvil finally -- beautifully -- restores the genre."	Armond White
Splat	Appaloosa (2008)	"Appaloosa demonstrates a better sense of history than Paul Thomas Anderson�s hysterical There Will Be Blood. But Harris isn�t a good enough director; he loses the mythical air that drives home a great Western�s point."	Armond White
Tomato	Arranged (2007)	"Lays out the magic and messiness of friendship between women, and an outsider becomes a privileged insider."	Shahnaz Habib
Splat	Art & Copy (2009)	"By narrowing his focus to just the cream of the ad crop, [director] Pray comes across as a Madison Avenue huckster himself, one who�s selling the public on the classiness of smart ads."	Mark Peikert
Tomato	Ashes of Time Redux (1994)	"Ashes of Time has such emotional, aesthetic intensity that its title -- one of the greatest in movie history -- is fulfilled."	Armond White
Splat	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	"Fact is, The Assassination is nothing more than a misreading of Hollywood mythology."	Armond White
Splat	Atonement (2007)	"Done-in by his own self-importance, Wright overwhelms the story�s personal tragedy with extravagant depictions of his love triangle�s different fates."	Armond White
Tomato	August Evening (2007)	"[Director] Eska manages to superimpose downtrodden personalities on an authentic setting, making it a compelling exercise in atmospheric storytelling."	Eric Kohn
Splat	Australia (2008)	"Baz Luhrmann�s Australia isn�t a history of the penal colony turned commonwealth, but Luhrmann�s absurd, clich�-ridden filmmaking ought to be a jailable offense."	Armond White
Splat	Avatar (2009)	"The corniest movie ever made about the white man's need to lose his identity and assuage racial, political, sexual and historical guilt."	Armond White
Splat	Away We Go (2009)	"Away We Go is as calculated as any summer tentpole blockbuster."	Armond White
