A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

"The fissures lurk throughout the film, but A.I. works around them quite admirably... until the unfortunate concluding sequence."

ABC Africa (2002)

"An awkward, superficial travelogue about Iranians on a publicity excursion to Africa, providing no more insight into Uganda than a Sally Struthers heart-pull."

Absolute Power (1997)

"Eastwood labors in a role that calls for someone far less forceful, while Hackman is positively embarassing. These were the same guys who made Unforgiven?"

Acacia (2003)

"Park is adept at cranking up the tension, imbuing seemingly pedestrian scenes of family life with a dark and sinister undercurrent."

Addicted to Murder (1995)

"Addicted to Murder has an uneasy, nightmarish quality that never lets up."

The Addiction (1995)

"Captain! The Pretense-O-Meter's gone off the scale!"

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990)

"It's bad, it's been forgotten, and we can all move on with nary a second thought."

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Vols. 1-5 (1984)

"So many great actors have played Sherlock Holmes, and yet the late Jeremy Brett may have trumped them all."

Aeon Flux (2005)

"Not even the sight of Theron in stylized bondage gear can atone for the muddled story, hackneyed action, and dulled-down effects."

After Life (1998)

"A true oxymoron, at once endlessly fascinating and terminally dull."

The Alamo (2004)

"A lot of pretty postcards and some nice fellas we don't mind hanging out with -- okay for a historic landmark, but thin soup for a would-be epic."

Alexander (2004)

"A great thunderous wreck, loud as a gong and just as hollow."

Ali Zaoua (2000)

"This lovely urban fable transcends realism, conjuring a waterfront Casablanca that reminded me of Roald Dahl at least as much as Buñuel."

Alien 3 (1992)

"Gorgeous sets and another great turn from Weaver vie with a repetative and desperate structure. It also commits an unforgivable sin by rendering the events of the first two films utterly irrelevant."

The Alien Agenda: Endangered Species (1997)

"Just wait till you see the computer-generated flying saucers. Ed Wood would have been proud."

Alien Nation (1988)

All of Me (1984)

"A wonderful showcase for Steve Martin's physical talents, and Lily Tomlin is a scream."

All The King's Men (2006)

"All we're left with is some bayou postcards and Penn screaming from the pulpit: sound and fury that, like too many other pieces of Southern Gothic, signify nothing."

Almost Famous (2000)

"Cameron Crowe has made a heartfelt piece of work that stands among his best: a love song to anyone who ever wanted to be cool...and never quite found their way."

Along Came a Spider (2001)

"With the post-Silence glut of serial killer films, it takes a lot to make an impression, and Along Came a Spider lacks that all-important spark."

Alphaville (1965)

"New Wave classic. Set bold new standards. Whatever."

Amelie (2001)

"Probably the most easily enjoyable movie of the year. It's a ragtag blend of surreal images and good-natured, quirky charm that's both visually and emotionally intoxicating."
