After The Wedding (2007) |
"Yes, they throw more than rice at this Wedding, but it's all in service of an astutely observed and sometimes shattering human drama." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Nick Cassavetes' new film, Alpha Dog, has a compelling, ripped-from-the-headlines vibe." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"If you seek a movie that is uplifting, enlightening and ennobling, then Grace is for you." |
Phil Kloer |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"The big question for fans is does Aqua Teen Hunger Force have enough gags and giggles to translate to 86 minutes on the big screen? And the answer is ... yeah, sort of, well, maybe. ..." |

Splat C- |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"The film feels fraudulent -- not deceitful, but hard to swallow. We're told Farmer is $600,000 in debt, yet a $300,000 windfall solves everything." |

Tomato A- |
August Rush (2007) |
"However predictable, a good ol' fashioned happy ending is always welcome. But bring a box of tissues: A good cry is to be expected as well." |
Jennifer Preyss |
Tomato B |
Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
"If you're not going to Paris this spring -- and let's face it, so few of us are -- the next best thing might be Avenue Montaigne." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |
Away From Her (2007) |
"[A] modest yet infinitely moving film of love, loss and memory." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C+ |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"The film as a whole may be lacking in coherence and emotional punch, but there are some marvelous sequences." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"... a feel-good movie that also feels genuine, even when it's at its most rah-rah." |

All The King's Men (2006) |
"It's appalling. Mostly because Penn is appalling." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
American Blackout (2006) |
"A powerful piece of political cinema that effectively documents the disenfranchisement of black voters in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato A- |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"20 years from now, Dreamz will be a fine time capsule of who we are, and of everything that we think is 'so cool.'" |

Annapolis (2006) |
"... Annapolis is ordinary in every way." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato B |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"The Ant Bully is the first of the summer's many animated features that doesn't somehow feel familiar." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"There's no denying Gibson's talent behind the camera. He knows what he's doing, and does it with tremendous skill and conviction." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C |
Aquamarine (2006) |
"If you are now or ever have been a girl of 8 to 13, you'll be occasionally charmed by the giggly bonds of girlfriends and 'guppie love' the film portrays -- but also occasionally green at the gills." |
Melinda Ennis |
Splat C- |
Art School Confidential (2006) |
"It's often as naive as it is knowing and can feel as unfocused and sketchy as a film one of Strathmore's students might make." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C- |
ATL (2006) |
"ATL is not interesting. Nor compelling. Nor lively. Nor always comprehensible." |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"A half-baked world no kid would want to visit." |

Aeon Flux (2005) |
"Paramount Pictures and MTV Films blatantly tried to keep the movie, which debuted Friday, away from critics to prevent opening-day reviews. For good reason. Hollywood suits didn't want anyone to know how utterly boring the movie is." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato B |
After Innocence (2005) |
"Eye-opening." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D- |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"Alone in the Dark co-stars perpetual party-girl Tara Reid as an archeologist. That alone should give you some clue as to how bad this movie is." |
Bob Townsend |

The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"There's nothing this Amityville won't beg, borrow, steal from or fabricate in trying to make your neck hairs sit up and quiver." |

Another Road Home (2005) |
"Becomes an odd companion piece to the stunning Capturing the Friedmans, one of the most disturbing chronicles of family dysfunction ever documented." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C- |
Are We There Yet? (2005) |
"Feels more like 'Is It Over Yet?'" |
Jon Waterhouse |
Tomato A- |
The Aristocrats (2005) |
"Staggeringly obscene and very funny." |
Phil Kloer |
Tomato B |
Ask the Dust (2005) |
"Towne and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel beautifully capture Fante's city of the dispossessed, where the seasons never change." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato C+ |
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"The cheese factor is satisfying and the no-frills approach has a gut-level appeal." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Asylum (2005) |
"Richardson is the reason to see Asylum. A lot of what happens doesn't really make sense, yet her intensity hooks us." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat F |
At Last (2005) |
"You might buy it if the film convinced you this was a love story for the ages, that Sara and Mark are so made for each other it would be a crime against heaven if they weren't together. But it doesn't." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
After the Sunset (2004) |
"An occasionally amusing but generally dull heist movie." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato B+ |
The Alamo (2004) |
"A superlative character-driven epic that honors both the varied truths and the varied myths surrounding a battle that pitted less than 300 Texans and Tejanos against General Antonio López de Santa Anna and several thousand Mexican troops." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D+ |
Alexander (2004) |
"A sprawling epic that truly sprawls." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato |
Alfie (2004) |
"Did we really need an Alfie remake? Probably not. Will you enjoy this Alfie remake? Probably so." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C- |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"[AvP] is in desperate need of a bigger steel cage and a whole lot more smackdown." |
Bob Longino |
Splat C+ |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"Runs out of steam about the time the Stiller-Aniston romance is supposed to be creating some." |
Melinda Ennis |
Tomato B |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"It solidifies Ferrell's place alongside Jim Carrey, Jack Black and, when called on, Johnny Depp, as our best comic actors." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Bottom line: If you love the show, you'll most likely love the movie. But if you think Webber's cash cow is a bloated monstrosity, well, there's always Lon Chaney." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
Around the Bend (2004) |
"A somewhat predictable tale of family bonding, given some grit and grace by Christopher Walken and Michael Caine." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C- |
Around the World in 80 Days (2004) |
"A dead-on-arrival movie idea." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato B+ |
The Aviator (2004) |
"It's a wonderful showcase for Scorsese's passion for making movies, which, in a sense, parallels the passion Hughes had for making movies." |
