L'Argent (1983) |
"While Bresson’s lens and Patey’s fine performance merge in a special, memorable way, L’Argent is much more than just a tightly wound character study." |

"A stirring immigrant’s tale starring impressive newcomer Oksana Orlenko." |

Tomato A- |
Laura (1944) |
"The effect of the film’s moral clash and divergence is still a dark, moody magnetism that feels as alluringly relevant today as it did more than six decades ago." |

Law & Order - The Third Year (1992) |
"[Orbach's] being introduced at a time when the show has a veritable 'dream team' of regulars." |
Tony Whitt |
Tomato B |
Layer Cake (2005) |
"The tradeoff for [its] unsentimental clear-headedness is that... the film sometimes suffers wrong turns and meandering detours." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato B- |
Layer Cake (2005) |
"Gets by courtesy of a fierce, wounded performance by Craig, whose icy blue eyes and serene pragmatism offer a convincing ballast to Layer Cake’s pop violence." |
Brent Simon |

Le Corbeau (1943) |
"The movie is a veritable masterwork of communal paranoia, self-loathing and general discontent..." |
Brent Simon |
Splat C+ |
The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"More of a rainy day diversion than a sunny morning matinee thrill ride." |
Brent Simon |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"It’s the children (Emily Browning and Liam Aiken as the confident Violet and the thoughtful Klaus) who really steal this show..." |

Leonard Pt. 6 (1987) |
"It’s hard to say definitively what the nadir of Leonard Part 6 is..." |

License To Drive (1988) |

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) |
"It hearkens back nicely to Rushmore..." |

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) |
"Surreal, self-aware, and hilarious..." |
Tony Whitt |
Tomato A- |
Lifeboat (1944) |
"Lifeboat's blend of morality and intrigue -- along with its then-revolutionary single location filming method -- make for a groundbreaking and entertaining film." |
Brent Simon |

Lila Says (2005) |
"Unabashedly sensuous and explicit in word but never in deed..." |

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch (2005) |
"While offering some enjoyable character moments [it] largely feels like a predetermined small screen exercise." |
Brent Simon |

Live Feed (2005) |
"You can often judge the quality of a low-budget flick that happens to have scenes in a strip club by the lithe attractiveness of its pole-dancers, and the girl in the opening scene of this sadistic Hostel rip-off is not exactly a toned beauty." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato B- |
The Longest Yard (2005) |
"Considerably darker and grittier than most of Sandler’s frothy comedies..." |
Brent Simon |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) |
"[The Extended Edition DVD] is an encyclopedia, a text book, a film school on four discs..." |
Scott Collura |
Splat C+ |
Lord of War (2005) |
"Lord of War lacks the major gravitational pull that a film of its scope should exert." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato B- |
Lords of Dogtown (2005) |
"Could have used a little more... melancholy and pain, as well as a starker sense of the Z-Boys as cultural forerunners." |
Brent Simon |

Lost - The Complete First Season (2004) |
"The show comes across to me as a smug honor student coasting on its laurels." |
Brent Simon |

A Lot Like Love (2005) |
"Just pay no attention to the obligatory, rushed happy ending." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato B |
A Lot Like Love (2005) |
"A fairly enjoyable movie, but one to be appreciated apart from ways in which it was probably intended." |
Brent Simon |

A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004) |
"With the audience so much farther ahead of the curve than its characters, the movie then becomes an exercise in tedium..." |
Brent Simon |
Splat C |
Lurking in Suburbia (2004) |
"Emblematic of what might be called the Ed Burns school of independent cinema -- full of angsty, young-adult jitters and cud-chewing ennui. For some folks, that's interest-piquing praise, others damning dismissal, others still neither here nor there." |

Lust For Dracula (2004) |
"If you’re searching for nouveau grindhouse titillation, Lust for Dracula is a good time." |
