Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

"Classic horror movie spoof."

Adventureland (2009)

"I'm sure the film will have a certain appeal to a certain audience, namely other college-aged kids in crappy jobs struggling to learn about life and love."

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)

"If I were eight years old, I probably would think this movie was the greatest film ever made. However, being an adult, the movie just irritated me."

After the Sunset (2004)

"After the Sunset tries to be two different films."

Air Buddies (2006)

"This is nowhere near the level of Air Bud, but was anyone really expecting this?"

Alexander (2004)

"There’s nothing that quite compares to the pain of passing a kidney stone... except perhaps Oliver Stone’s Alexander."

Alien Raiders (2008)

"What could have been a fairly rote monster movie gives us a level of suspense that you normally don't get for a film that comes in under the radar."

Aliens in the Attic (2009)

"I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone over the age of fifteen who isn't trying to relive their youth from the 1980s."

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

"What better way to celebrate Christ's birth than watching two warring alien races kicking the holy hell out of each other?"

Alpha Dog (2007)

"A minefield of stupidity and degradation -- and not in a good way."

Alvin and the Chipmunks - The Chipettes!

"It definitely has the look, feel and quality of a mid-80s Saturday morning cartoon. But it's still entertaining for kids and has a bit of nostalgia for parents."

Amazing Grace (2007)

"There's a lot of good intentions behind Amazing Grace, but the movie's a bore, swirling into the minutia of antiquated British law."

An American Carol (2008)

"It's neat to see a movie from another point of view... Still, the movie has a message, and that message gets in the way of the comedy at least half of the time"

American Dreamz (2006)

"the appeal of the movie so disintegrates with every second of resolution that I found myself hating it by the ending credits"

The Amityville Horror (2005)

"One of the funniest films I’ve seen all year."

Amusement (2008)

"a cat-and-mouse game, without any of the strap-to-a-chair-and-torture shock attempts"

The Andromeda Strain (1971)

"A great book, but a mind-boggling boring movie."

Annapolis (2006)

"If you like cliches, you'll love Annapolis."

Arctic Tale (2007)

"The photography of Arctic Tale is what makes it so good. The nature documentary style of this movie is brilliant and breathtaking at times."

The Aristocats (1970)

"A Conversation with Composer Richard Sherman"

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

"For a night of family entertainment, you could do a lot worse"

Arrested Development - Season 3 (2005)

"the writers had abandoned all hope for making the characters likeable in the traditional way... and let's admit that it's fun to watch bad things happen to awful people."

Asphalt Wars (2004)

"If you have that affinity for ultra-low budget films that struggle to reach the lowest standards of Hollywood, you might like this movie."

The Astronaut Farmer (2007)

"The cinematic equivalent of lasagna -- plot ground up with meat, characters that lay there like limp noodles and the whole thing slathered in cheese."

Australia (2008)

"I liked the characters, and I liked the actors, even if it didn't sweep me away."
