The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)

"It's not a classic. But it's also nothing that the late Jay Ward, who developed the characters more than 40 years ago, would be ashamed of, either."

Angel Eyes (2001)

"The movie's ad campaign would have you believe that the couple's relationship is potentially dangerous. It's not, but it's pretty hard to swallow."

About a Boy (2002)

"The "American Pie" duo deserves credit for making a convincingly British comedy that is also charmingly universal."

Alfie (2004)

"If there was ever a film that begged not to be remade, the 1966 black comedy Alfie is screaming to be left alone in a loud Cockney accent."

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)

"From my view, after the war up until the '50s, everything was in black-and-white. In the '60s, everything burst into Technicolor."

Aeon Flux (2005)

"Charlize Theron has her Oscar. Now she has her Catwoman."

Ashes of Time Redux (1994)

"In the end, it’s not unlike a Jackson Pollock painting. No matter how close or how far away you stand from it, some people just get it and some people don’t."

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

"There are a few clever moments in Eight Crazy Nights, but they come after long stretches of repetitive, juvenile gags that can be found in most of Sandler's other films."

After The Wedding (2007)

"After the Wedding is a sad film in many ways, but it’s also surprisingly uplifting. Thanks to [director] Bier and her cast, any tears shed in the audience will be perfectly natural."

The Amityville Horror (2005)

"After a while, it's more annoying than scary, as niceties like suspense and atmosphere are ignored in favor of making people spill their popcorn. It's the laziest possible way to direct a horror movie."

The Ant Bully (2006)

"The Ant Bully is too flawed to be a true classic, or even the best of this busy year. But when it stops talking and starts moving, it reaches breathtaking heights that almost make up for its lows."

August Rush (2007)

"Although Williams seems to be in another film altogether, Russell and Rhys Meyers make an attractive and believable would-be couple, and Highmore may actually be the best child actor working today."

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

"A Scanner Darkly has virtually no action and is so slow to reveal itself that it dissipates whatever dramatic clout the novel may have had."

About Schmidt (2002)

"Takes us on a journey toward self-awareness that is both deadpan hilarious and profoundly moving."

Across the Sea of Time (1995)

Adaptation (2002)

"A brain twister, less a movie-movie than a funny and weird meditation on Hollywood, success, artistic integrity and intellectual bankruptcy."

Adventureland (2009)

"If his plot falls into a predictable pattern, Mottola is able to work some attractive variations with his strong cast."

An Affair of Love (2000)

Air Guitar Nation (2007)

"For every dork who has stood before the home stereo speakers and banged away on an invisible instrument, here at last is validation."

The Alamo (2004)

"This is the best Alamo movie ever -- the most accurate, the best-acted, the most sumptuously mounted."

Alexander (2004)

"There's no joy here, no fun, no excitement. It's a 178-minute-long wall hanging."

Alias Betty (2002)

"Some of what happens in Alias Betty is highly improbable. Yet Miller and his excellent cast sell the story by not overplaying their hands."

Alien: The Director's Cut (2003)

"Even 25 years later Alien still can make us jump."

All Over the Guy (2001)

"It says nothing new, but it says it painlessly."
