A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"The fake cartooning sets up a challenging distance between the viewers and the characters, bringing a degree of nonreality to something that's already hard to believe." |

Tomato 10/10 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A master work that will haunt and inspire filmgoers for years to come." |

Splat 4/10 |
Abandon (2002) |
"Utterly predictable -- the worst-case scenario for a thriller." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"You'd never guess About a Boy came from the filmmakers behind such a funny but infantile film." |

Tomato 6/10 |
Absolute Power (1997) |
"Lacks the consistency, depth and suspense that would put it in a league with Eastwood's best work." |
Jack Garner |

Accepted (2006) |
"So, despite a few early chuckles and a few points for youthful enthusiasm, Accepted is ultimately rejected." |

Tomato 10/10 |
Adaptation (2002) |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"Rocky and Bullwinkle's latest adventure is a fractured tale." |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"It's a bit like taking a first-grader's finger paintings off the refrigerator and submitting them for a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art." |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and exotic Caribbean locations are all a joy to look at. But the story that binds them together is little more than a distraction from all that eye candy." |

After The Wedding (2007) |

Air Force One (1997) |
"The latest in an overly long list of hijack films. But it's also the smartest and most appealing to date." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Without turning overtly preachy, Akeelah and the Bee puts forth a commendable message of the success that can follow hope and hard work." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"Despite much that's engrossing, the film falls short of a hoped-for epic stature." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 2/10 |
Alex and Emma (2003) |
"Jokes are forced and the subplots are superficial." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 4/10 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Instead of flowing one into the other, the scenes from Alexander's extraordinary 33 years of life too often come at the filmgoer like turned pages from Ptolemy's book." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Alfie (2004) |
"In an obvious nod to modern times, today's Alfie merely explores his lack of commitment. The result is entertaining, but in a more superficial, less meaningful way." |

Ali (2001) |
"Ali is played brilliantly by Will Smith." |

Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"'Alien Resurrection' does well by the classy series -- it's nowhere near as frightful and original as the first film, and offers less riveting action than the second." |
Jack Garner |

Aliens of the Deep (2005) |
"[Cameron] speculates that the ocean's depths contain mysterious life unlike anything else on Earth." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
All About My Mother (1999) |
"The filmmaker peppers the movie with stylistic references to the women-loving films of directors George Cukor and Douglas Sirk and pays tribute to Williams' greatest character, the tragic Blanche Dubois of A Streetcar Named Desire." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
All or Nothing (2002) |
"There's no denying the downbeat nature of All or Nothing -- it's not a frivolous night at the movies. But the story of Phil and Penny wins you with its heart." |

All The King's Men (2006) |
"Zaillian's script fails to build narrative power or delve deeply enough into character motivation to astonish or move filmgoers, at least to the degree that it should." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"A film with the grace, beauty and power of a stallion on the run." |

All the Real Girls (2003) |
"As the best anti-Hollywood romance I've seen in years, the film restores my faith in the independent film movement." |

Almost Famous (2000) |

Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Unlike Kiss the Girls, which was strongest in the first half and then got sloppy, Spider maintains its momentum and offers two surprises in the final reel." |

"The cinematic equivalent of a fabulous French souffle." |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"Without the pleasure of watching this star quartet at work, America's Sweethearts would barely be a footnote on the summer of 2001. With them, it's just barely worth staying till the end." |

American Pie 2 (2001) |
"American Pie 2 has a specific young audience in mind. What the rest of us think of this film's over-sexed, sophomoric hi-jinks makes no never mind." |
