Rating	Title Year	Quote	Author

Splat 2/4	Antwone Fisher (2002)	"Rings false, belittling instead of honoring its sensitive subject with its twinkly score, kid-glove nobility and cloying payoffs. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Any Given Sunday (1999)	" Stone isn't interested in merely bashing modern football: Any Given Sunday looks at the best and worst of the sport. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Apocalypto (2006)	"As in The Passion of the Christ, Gibson's empathy extends only as far as feeling his characters' pain...It is, however, a rip-roaring, ultraviolent action picture."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Appaloosa (2008)	"Harris has made himself a reputation as a mark of quality...Like Pollack, Appaloosa has the best of both worlds, with Harris both in front of and behind the camera. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Splat 2/4	Appleseed (2004)	"[A] warrior babe cradles [an] injured cyborg bunny in her arms and weeps for him. Take that, Hotel Rwanda!"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Apres Vous (2005)	"Pierre Salvadori's consistently engaging Apr�s vous... begins with an interesting situation and complicates it into delightfully excruciating farce."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1.5/4	Arctic Tale (2007)	"Arctic Tale isn't a documentary. They say it right there in the title, see? It's a tale. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Are We Done Yet? (2007)	"Ostensibly, the message...is the difference between an expensive house and a priceless home, but since the message is taught by a greedy psychopath, it rings a bit hollow."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2/4	Are We There Yet? (2005)	"[Alternates] rocket-fueled slapstick with soft-piano sentiment....Then again, it's not every day you see Ice Cube, on a horse, charging after a train."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	The Aristocats (1970)	"Proves that even the studio's halfhearted larks still have life in them, thanks to golden-age animators...tunesmiths...and vocal talent."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3.5/4	The Aristocrats (2005)	"Gilbert Gottfried�s version at a Friar�s Roast just after 9/11 reminds us that irony will never be dead. It�s the role of comedy to test our ...boundaries of comfort."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 4/4	Army of Shadows (1969)	"Melville outlines the valorous and dirty deeds of heroes in taut action sequences that reach unusually existential heights."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2.5/4	Art School Confidential (2006)	"Zwigoff too often picks up his putty knife when he should be running with scissors...doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts, but some of the parts are pretty amusing all the same."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Ask the Dust (2005)	"Despite its flaws, this story of love and self-discovery is still more smart, stylish, and sexy than the usual fare."	Peter Canavese
-	Ask the Dust (2005)	"Robert Towne: 'Self-absorbed, narcissistic, manic depressive, mean-spirited because he's jealous and angry that nobody knows who he is....How can I not identify with that?'"	Peter Canavese
-	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	"Niels Mueller on The Assassination of Richard Nixon"	Peter Canavese
Tomato	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	"Puts Sean Penn through his actorly paces, which would be enough for most movies, but also intelligently explores the development of a [desperate] man."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2.5/4	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	"Plays more like Die Hard 2 on a budget than a remake in spirit of Carpenter's scrappy original....When the remake is so flavorless...it's time to hit the video shelves."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Astro Boy (2009)	"What Astro Boy has in spades are energy, good humor, and the demolition-derby action of a superhero smash-up, reasons enough to recommend it to grade-school boys."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	The Astronaut Farmer (2007)	"The perfect film for all those delusional, self-entitled American Idol rejects...darn it, this is America, where any man can lead a horse around his ranch in a spacesuit..."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 4/4	Asylum (2005)	"In the callused hands of director David Mackenzie...the rigorously tough-minded Asylum lives up to its potential as a modern masterpiece of psychological terror."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	ATL (2006)	"It's heartening to be able to report that ATL is as much like Diner as it is like Boys in the Hood....Robinson may overdose on style, but he also respects the homegrown origins of this ATLanta-bred tale."	Peter Canavese
-	Atonement (2007)	"James McAvoy: 'All the actors stayed in one house together, with some of the key crew members and Joe, the director...I decided not to--partly because I'd been to drama school, and I couldn't be bothered with it...I've lived in a madhouse.'"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3.5/4	Atonement (2007)	"In the story's nooks and crannies are ideas to savor...the human-condition horrors of unpassable distances of space, time, and reconciliation."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 4/4	Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987)	"As ever, Malle's sensitivity is supreme and his delicate style evocative."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3.5/4	The Aviator (2004)	"Scorsese keeps a good handle on the turbulent material of Hughes�s sprawling life... spectacular... fleet... admirably eccentric."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 4/4	Away From Her (2007)	"A profound and poignant requiem for our preferred human conditions."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2.5/4	Away We Go (2009)	"Its dull colors and folk-rock soundtrack...attempt to achieve the oft-chased feel of '70s cinema--in this case, Hal Ashby or Mike Nichols. It's a game try, but the transparently schematic result too often gets under the skin in the wrong way."	Peter Canavese
