Splat 1.5/4
Across the Universe (2007)
"A low-rent, off-Broadway spectacle that's desperately in need of a stage"
Sean O'Connell
Tomato 3/4
Adam (2009)
"Adam's disorder is but one piece of a tender relationship puzzle that's nurtured out of its shell by the performers."
Adoration (2009)
"A pretentious, naval-gazing pity party thrown for condescending, affected blowhards."
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)
"Movies this tiresome and obvious have no business in multiplexes."
Tomato 2.5/4
Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
"The message remains fantastic for kids, even if the director allows his events to teeter toward comical near the end."
American Dreamz (2006)
"Pokes fun at a program that doesn't take itself seriously, cutting down easy targets like an eighth-grade bully picking fights with first graders."
The Amityville Horror (2005)
"On almost every level, this remake is a marked improvement."
An Education (2009)
"A handsomely crafted and beautifully acted awakening story that's predictable but consistently rewarding."
Art School Confidential (2006)
"Takes some getting used to, but ends up being as bleak as Zwigoff's coal-blackened Bad Santa."

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
"Earns few points for originality but finds other small treasures."
Tomato 3.5/4
Atonement (2007)
"Smaller than you'd expect, though many may remember it for the exquisite period detail, production design or fluid camera work."
Away We Go (2009)
"The first film I've seen this year that made me feel something."
