Rating TitleYear Quote Author

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

An American Affair (2009)

"A cliché-ridden hodgepodge of film genres."

Mark Peikert

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

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

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

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

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

Splat

Adam Resurrected (2008)

"Watching an entire film revolving around Goldblum becomes an exercise in frustration."

Mark Peikert

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

American Teen (2008)

"This is a vile misuse of the intimate, verité and reportorial technique that the Maysles, Pennebaker and other doc pioneers worked so hard to justify."

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

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

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

Splat

Australia (2008)

"Baz Luhrmann’s Australia isn’t a history of the penal colony turned commonwealth, but Luhrmann’s absurd, cliché-ridden filmmaking ought to be a jailable offense."

Armond White

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

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

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

Tomato

Arranged (2007)

"Lays out the magic and messiness of friendship between women, and an outsider becomes a privileged insider."

Shahnaz Habib

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

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
