About a Boy (2002)

"It seems Grant doesn't need the floppy hair and the self-deprecating stammers after all."

Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (1996)

"Sample dialogue: 'Over here!' 'What?' 'Arrrg!'"

After Life (1998)

"Like our most cherished memories, After Life is warm and intimate."

Alien (1979)

"...a seminal movie in the history of horror..."

Alien Resurrection (1997)

"Not the best Alien film, but unquestionably the most thematically ambitious"

All About My Mother (1999)

"...bold and lively filmmaking, which plumbs jewels from cinema’s past and builds on them to resonate in new directions."

Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein (1999)

"Its success or failure hinges solely on the viewer's individual tolerance for the sound of The Chipmunks' voices."

American Beauty (1999)

"A toothsome black comedy of mordant wit and surprising depth"

American Psycho (2000)

"The film never connects to its underlying sadness because it's off in the vapors cavorting in a mocking tone that severs any authentic emotional attachment to its characters."

American Splendor (2003)

"Profile and interview: Paul Giamatti"

Amy's O (2002)

"Amy and Matthew have a bit of a phony relationship, but the film works in spite of it."

And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)

"Monty Python's best known sketches reshot and compiled on film, with slight variations and occasional profanity. Great sketches, but a rather pointless exercise."

Angel Eyes (2001)

"Mandoki probably thinks he's trafficking in archetypal themes of love and loss, but he's really just shoveling hooey."

Animatrix (2003)

"Far from fleshing out the universe of THE MATRIX, this cynical, self-indulgent marketing tie-in renders it less coherent. Boasts only a few memorable visual moments, and suffers from a paucity of narrative."

Anna and the King (1999)

"the sort of film that would have contended for a Best Picture Oscar in the mid-80s and handily won in the early 60s"

Antonia's Line (1995)

"The magical realism in Antonia's Line is neither magical nor real."

Any Given Sunday (1999)

"As a sensorial evocation of football, Any Given Sunday acutely captures the bestial working conditions both on and off the field. It fails, however, to tell a compelling or believable story or to provide three-dimensional characters."

Armageddon (1998)

"Armabludgeon is like a roller coast--occasionally exciting, but in the end you've been taken for a long, nauseating ride."

Around the Bend (2004)

"Lucas discusses working with Christopher Walken, his relationship with his father, and some unusual experiences during the making of SESSION 9."

The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)

"Few things are as exciting as watching a great actor successfully turn off the star wattage and don the skin of an utterly weak, insignificant person."

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

"delivers the action movie goods [thanks to] adroit pacing...[and] a cast of extremely capable actors."

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)

"Recycled ideas and a weaker plot"

Auto Focus (2002)

"Instead of hitting the audience over the head with a moral, Schrader relies on subtle ironies and visual devices to convey point of view."
