A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"This effort, while a failure, is an artsy, noble one. Scanning optimistically, an innovator can learn and move forward from that." | |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
|
"Sharkboy & Lavagirl, while noble, imaginative and a huge valentine to family involvement, unfortunately just isn't all that interesting." | |
Larry Ratliff | |
 |

1.5/4 |
|
Alexander (2004) |
|
"Stone appears to be assembling this ... jigsaw puzzle on the fly. There are more bottom-out scenes than high points. He drags it out for almost three backside-numbing hours." | |

|
Alfie (2004) |
|
" Law is a talented actor trapped in a male model body. He makes us care about this cad we shouldn't give a flip about through his ability to charm and disarm." | |

|
Alice's House (2008) |
|
"Very well-acted, especially by (Carla) Ribas, this is a tense drama of friendship, family and deceit that explores a wide spectrum of raw emotions." | |

Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
|
"Alien vs. Predator is a ton of alien-slobbering, bust-a-gut fun.

Aliens of the Deep (2005) |
|
"Cameron is no longer content to merely show what's down there. Aliens of the Deep also speculates about what might be up there. Way up there in outer space." | |

Alone in the Dark (2005) |
|
"(Christian) Slater and (Tara) Reid share quite possibly the most awkward love scene ever recorded on film." | |

American Gangster (2007) |

The Amityville Horror (2005) |
|
"Only the eerie relationship with youngest daughter Chelsea and an "imaginary" friend with a bullet hole in the forehead rings up any real psychological terror.
" | |

|
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
|
"This is a B-grade horror-thriller sequel with a no-name cast and more schlock than shock. For the record, the theme shed its skin seven years ago." | |
Larry Ratliff | |

2/4 |
|
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
|
"This is a wobbly comedy rooted too deeply in three- or four-minute TV-style set pieces, which misfire more often than not." | |
Larry Ratliff | |

3/4 |
|
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
|
"This spectacle of a musical is constantly visually stunning and, more often than not, musically enriched." | |

The Ant Bully (2006) |
|
"You'll likely step a little more carefully around an anthill after going on the delightful animated journey The Ant Bully." | |

3/4 |
|
Arctic Tale (2007) |
|
"Warm and fuzzy despite its frigid locale, Arctic Tale is the huggable nature film many people expected from March of the Penguins, but didn't get." | |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
|
"We were done in the first five minutes." | |

3.5/4 |
|
The Aviator (2004) |
|
"The Aviator, while not flawless, is, nonetheless Scorsese's Citizen Kane. Both are extravagant, melodramatic studies of brazen men out to change the world.
