Amelia (2009)

"Though this traditional story about a defiantly nontraditional woman doesn't always soar, it fits Hilary Swank, its producer/star, like a jumpsuit. She and Nair thrill to the life of this American who broke records, hearts, and boundaries."

America's Heart and Soul (2004)

"A pumped-up, plotless montage of extraordinary landscapes, colorful wildlife, and interesting people performing feats of derring-do."

American Beauty (1999)

"American Beauty is able to burrow inside the cliche to understand how it came to be."

American Casino (2009)

"The documentary details in no-nonsense, talking-head style how commercial and investment banks moved high-risk mortgages out into the economy, dumping debt and reaping profits in the process."

American Gangster (2007)

"Both he [Washington] and Ruby Dee, as his mother, give Oscar-caliber performances."

American Outlaws (2001)

"As a western, American Outlaws is an utter failure. As the basis of a Mad TV parody, it is an unintentional hoot."

An American Rhapsody (2001)

"Johansson ... gets to the rebellious and thoughtful core of her character with a disarming ease."

American Teen (2008)

"An appealing and unexpectedly moving snapshot of 17-year-olds on the tightrope between family and future."

American Wedding (2003)

"A gagfest that makes viewers gag at least twice as often as they giggle."

Amores Perros (2001)

"An overpowering and original piece of bravura filmmaking that constitutes one of the most breathtaking and impressive directing debuts in years."

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

"Anacondas is to its 1997 Jennifer Lopez-starring forerunner what Jaws: The Revenge was to Steven Spielberg's shark monster original."

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"An engagingly knuckleheaded comic vehicle for former Saturday Night Live trouper Will Ferrell."

Angel Eyes (2001)

"On the heels of parts in Frequency and Play it Forward, [Caviezel] just exudes otherworldliness. This sends the physics of this romantic melodrama into the Twilight Zone from whence it never returns."

Angela's Ashes (1999)

"Parker has honored the core of the work and in the process turned a great memoir into a memorable movie."

Anger Management (2003)

"Unpredictably funny."

Annapolis (2006)

"Much as I enjoyed screenwriter Dave Collard's freshman effort, Out of Time, there's not much to say about his sophomore (and sophomoric) screenplay, which seems to have gleaned its insights from the fortune-cookie factory."

The Ant Bully (2006)

"... unnecessary ..."

Antichrist (2009)

"What is Von Trier trying to say?"

Antwone Fisher (2002)

"Watchful, flinty, unexpectedly vulnerable -- and so cathartic it could wring tears from a stone."

Any Given Sunday (1999)

"A turbocharged and pungently enjoyable take on the sport."

Anything Else (2003)

"This anxious comedy wobbles like a retread of Annie Hall."

Apocalypto (2006)

"Apocalypto is primal."

Appleseed (2004)

"The bizarre gulf between the realism of the backgrounds and the stylization of the characters undermines a story line about a conspiracy to rid Utopia of 'bio-roids.'"

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007)

"Daringly and surprisingly successfully attempts to hold viewers' interest in the (barely) animated triumvirate of Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad for six times the length of a normal episode."
