"It's really a kids' movie at its heart. And if you watch it with that in mind - as a film made for the Nickelodeon crowd - you'll see that it fills out rather nicely"

Air Bud (1997)

"There's an air of acceptance throughout the film, but the movie never stops to stand at a pulpit and preach this message."

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."

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

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 Teen (2008)

"While compelling and nostalgic, American Teen is also like high school because it's hard to sort out the pure motives of the film"

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

"Folks, you’ll know whether you want to see this movie or not by the title alone."

The Aristocats (1970)

"has a charm behind it that shines through"

After the Sunset (2004)

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

Alexander (2004)

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

Alpha Dog (2007)

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

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."

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

The Andromeda Strain (1971)

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