The A-Team - Season 1 (1983)

"Okay, so it's cheeseball. [But] the set's here and it looks good considering it's TV from twenty years back."

Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953)

"While the sci-fi genre seems like a natural for Bud & Lou to tackle...it almost feels like they had two (or maybe three) scripts that they tried to cobble together. "

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

"This pairing certainly works better than [anything] by Stephen Sommers, right?"

Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer (1949)

"This is a mixed bag of gags, plus the real draw of the title--Karloff--is a few steps above a cameo."

Absolute Power (1997)

"This film, although watchable and enjoyable, makes me wonder if Eastwood burned himself out after the masterpiece of Unforgiven."

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

"More than sufficiently entertaining."

Adaptation (2002)

"As it stands, if you missed it in cinemas, it's worth a rental just to see what you didn't miss."

Adventures in Babysitting (1987)

"Aw, c'mon, who can't like a movie that has The Mighty Thor as a major component?"

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)

"It was always worth tuning into Banzai's world, because the quirky sci-fi canon that it has created is essentially a cosmic game of Calvinball played by Richter and Rauch."

The Affair of the Necklace (2001)

"Fans of costume dramas or those who make a study of such things will want to pick this up."

Airline - The Complete Season One

"[Airline] is more about observing people, but in a natural environment and not in a fabulously appointed living space with a confessional and night vision camera."

Airwolf - Season 1 (1984)

"If you’re a hardcore fan, plonk down the money. But if you just want to revisit the past, give it a rental. "

Aladdin (1992)

"Charming and decent Disney, wisely buoyed up by Williams and his frenetic self."

Alias - The Complete First Season (2001)

"When television is overflowing with frivolous reality television and sit-coms desperate to be the next Friends, Alias is like a breath of fresh air."

Aliens (1986)

"What happens when you take a premise, soak it in a combination of adrenaline and kerosene, then light the sucker."

All About Eve (1950)

"Fox has done an admirable job of trying to put a special edition together for this thing, and they should be rewarded. Just as the viewer shall be."

Amelie (2001)

"Even troglodytes who fear subtitled films will find evolving to greet this film worthwhile."

American Beauty (1999)

"Exhibits a stable, consistent tone and style, using brilliant direction, incredible acting and a smart screenplay that balances the comedy with the morbidity."

American History X (1998)

"What brings it above the problems with its source material is fine acting all the way around."

Amistad (1997)

"Despite some unevenness it is a good show indeed."

Angel - Season 3 (2001)

"Strong performances are another trademark that Angel inherited from Buffy. Boreanaz and Carpenter, now quite familiar with their roles, ably handle their new leading roles."

Animal Farm (1954)

"Basically, if you're an animation buff, then this is a no-brainer to own. It's a piece of animation history and Home Vision has beefed it up with a few tasty bonus bits."

Apollo 13 (1995)

"The story alone is strong enough to not need a lot of embellishment. Howard sticks with that, and then populates the film with strong, strong actors."

Archives of War Six-Volume Boxed Set (1998)

"So unless you are an extremely patient, multilingual history enthusiast, I would find another source of historical film than Archives of War."

Arthur (1981)

"Simply comedy cold."
