A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

"Even if you don't much care for the experience, A.I. will ... plant ideas in your brain that can't be easily shaken loose."

About Schmidt (2002)

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

Accepted (2006)

"Accepted is enjoyable in spite of itself."

Adaptation (2002)

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

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."

Against the Ropes (2003)

"It is February, and this one is at least watchable. So go ahead and pick it up. Just don't expect it to be there when you get home."

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."

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."

Along Came Polly (2004)

"Unpromising premise proves an ideal showcase for the comic talents of Ben Stiller and, to a lesser extent, supporting player Philip Seymour Hoffman."

Amelie (2001)

"May be 2001's most charming, creative and ultimately touching film."

America: Freedom To Fascism (2006)

"If America: From Freedom to Fascism is right only 10 percent of the time, we're in big trouble."

American Pie 2 (2001)

"In this film, you just want something or someone to laugh at. On those counts, American Pie 2 is a rousing success."

American Splendor (2003)

"About more than just one surly individual. It's a celebration of cinema's possibilities, which here get a jaw-dropping workout."

American Violet (2009)

"Put on your outrage cap."

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"Ferrell makes this a movie worth your money, and you'll leave the theater laughing."

Animation Show - Volume 1 (2003)

"Less about yuks than about the fine-arts aspect of animation."

The Anniversary Party (2001)

"Where else are you going to see so many beautiful people acting in a way that makes the rest of us feel superior?"

Antonio Gaudi (1984)

"Don't be surprised if after seeing this movie you find yourself eyeing travel brochures for Barcelona."

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)

"There’s humor in all this misfortune. But the more you watch, the more you empathize."

The Aristocrats (2005)

"The results are unbelievably gross and -- once you get with the program -- side-splittingly funny."

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."

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

"My advice is to ignore such questions and go with the flow."

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."
