"Eight Crazy Nights is a shallow, crude, mean-spirited and painfully unfunny excursion into lunacy..." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"...a fabulous, daring, intelligent and wild experience, electric down to the finest details and polished by its own shrewd sense of comic intensity." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Adventures in Babysitting (1987) |

David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Much like the title character himself, this is an endeavor that strives for greatness but is too burdened by its own ego to live out the full potential." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 4/4 |
Alien (1979) |
"...a movie so good, so involving and so jolting that it not only takes is place among the great science fiction films of our time, but also the great thrillers." |
David Keyes |
Splat 1/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"A brainless, clueless concept. And it's not even a fun one, either." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 4/4 |

David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"The cinematographers are brilliant in their quest to evoke cold and cruel atmosphere." |
David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"Just as the film's characters need anger management, so does the movie itself need comedy lessons." |
David Keyes |
Splat 2/4 |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"So unbelievably bloated that staring at Don King's hair is likely to have a more plausible payoff." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Here, Washington has taken a real-life memoir and turned it not into a sappy melodrama, but an honest, respectable and engaging character study in which the dramatics are just as important to the plot as plot itself." |
David Keyes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Antz (1998) |
"...beautiful and visually appealing, but uninspired in the script department." |
David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |

David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Anywhere But Here (1999) |
"A sappy soap opera-style drama with absolutely no necessity to develop believability." |
David Keyes |

The Apostle (1997) |
"Walking away from The Apostle, I felt renewed and reborn..." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Appleseed (1997) |
"...it's choppy and simple, with characters inked underneath hard edges, but little of that matters when you compare it to the compelling premise." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Apt Pupil (1998) |
"Apt Pupil is about as great as a modern Stephen King horror flick could get." |
David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Arlington Road (1999) |
"So filled with moronic intentions and illogical ideas that, had there been any truth to them, might have led audiences to believe that we live in the Twilight Zone." |
David Keyes |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Armageddon (1998) |
"...a waste of 100 million dollars and the talent of great actors..." |
David Keyes |

David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
"...though there is an occasion when a wisecrack results in dead stares rather than laughs, the result is pleasing enough for die-hard fans of this ambitious spy trilogy." |
David Keyes |
Splat 2/4 |
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) |
"Something of mixed reaction, a movie in which Myers remains an influencing screen presence, but the script doesn't do him justice." |

The Avengers (1998) |
"The movie is so disorganized that I'm not even sure what it was supposed to be about." |
