Tomato 3/5 |
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) |
"Loose-limbed, rubber-mouthed and poodle-hyper, Carrey is the screen's next great clown." |
John Wirt |
Splat 2/4 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"Across The Universe goes irretrievably off key thanks to thin, artificial storytelling and director Julie Taymor's hammer-handed approach to an already floundering script." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 3/5 |
After the Fox (1966) |
"Not one of the better Peters Sellers comedies, but still a fascinating failure." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
After the Sunset (2004) |
"Leading man Pierce Brosnan leaves his world-saving James Bond exploits behind, but he's still engaged in risky business." |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"After The Sunset is British actress Naomie Harris’ first brush with Hollywood." |

Tomato 8/10 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Keke Palmer's performance delivers on the script's promise." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Alexander (2004) |
"The amused twinkle in Anthony Hopkins' face suggests he knows he's crossed the line into parody with Ptolemy's memories of a conqueror "born from the loins of war."" |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Alfie (2004) |
"After wounding and dumping lots of ladies, Alfie finally faces the minor-key music, but he doesn't inspire empathy." |
John Wirt |
Splat 1/4 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"A good idea lurks in the latest Sandra Bullock comedy but it quickly falls into a deep hole." |
John Wirt |

All The King's Men (2006) |
"ALL THE KING'S MEN: Louisiana-shot film brings classic novel back to big screen" |
John Wirt |
Splat |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the King's Men has so much going for it, but this Louisiana political drama goes off the rails, wandering through a muddle of momentum-stalling flashbacks and poorly rendered accents." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 6/10 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Amazing Grace may not accomplish the depth of poignancy inherent in its subject, but it's a steady effort." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
American Hardcore (2006) |
"A film for the fans, especially if you were one of those sonic youths venting steam at a guerrilla show in someone's basement, a VFW hall or club that condescended to present a hardcore show. For once-upon-a-time kids now irrevocably middle-aged, the kick" |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
"Anacondas might provide some diversion for a rainy Sunday afternoon of TV viewing, but it's not worthy of the big screen." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"The big-screen rendition of The Phantom of the Opera resembles a ridiculously expensive installment of Masterpiece Theatre." |
John Wirt |
Splat 2/5 |
Antonia's Line (1995) |
"An amateurish, self-conscious film with a ham-fisted message." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 8/10 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"A simple story told in the most feverish extremes. Apocalypto is nightmare, morality play, triumph of human will and, most of all, virtuosic cinema." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Are We There Yet? (2005) |
"Ice Cube’s torturous misadventures inspire a major laugh or two, but more often than not, the jokes are lame and cruel." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
Art School Confidential (2006) |
"This sharply drawn satire gets so much about art school right." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"Depending upon your tolerance for cinema as meditation, this moody trek to the inevitable murder of the outlaw Jesse James may actually seem as long as its title. Yet there's much to admire." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"Penn's agonized performance in this under-the-radar drama is better than his Oscar-winning work in Mystic River." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
ATL (2006) |
"Before its predictable third-act resolutions, ATL presents a rich urban tableau.
" |

ATL (2006) |
""Atlanta is my hometown, born and raised," Tip "T.I." Harris said. "It's what I represent to the furthest."" |
John Wirt |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Atonement (2007) |
"A swoon of thwarted love, Atonement is missing something, the heartrending something that would make an otherwise gorgeous film a romance for the ages." |
John Wirt |
Splat 2/5 |
Avalon (1991) |
"An overstuffed family drama that’s not nearly as magical as it thinks it is." |
John Wirt |
