A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"For science fiction fans who prefer ideas over laser battles, this is the most meticulous and faithful movie adaptation of Dick's work -- and one of the most thoughtful." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"An exceptionally perceptive film about what it's like to be 19 years old." |

Splat 1/4 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"The structureless, meandering, slow-motion endlessness of Kubrick combined with the fuzzy, cuddly mindlessness of Spielberg." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"Some movies are exercises in escapism, and this movie is no more and no less than that." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 3/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"An honest movie about childhood that avoids sappiness and sentiment and goes in unexpected directions." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"A seriously good movie, a challenge to viewers, a rebuke of the way many Americans live their lives." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Absolute Power (1997) |
"A first-rate thriller about arrogance at the top, a showdown between two kinds of Americans: the evil, omnipotent bureaucrat and the enterprising, mind-his- own-business loner." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
"As a piece of entertainment, there's no getting around the fact that the film rises or falls on the degree to which the clips from Wilson's productions grab the viewer's attention and the ideas they embody arrest the mind." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Absurdistan (2008) |
"Makes for a lovely hour and a half of old-fashioned storytelling." |
Reyhan Harmanci |
Tomato 3/4 |
Accepted (2006) |
"If you can lighten up for an hour and a half, the film delivers one good laugh after another." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"The movie succeeds on sheer catchiness, and [director] Taymor piles on enough visual extravaganza to conceal the fact that there isn't much of a story." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 3/4 |
Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Plays as urban farce, but thanks to first-time director Chester's light touch and affectionally observant eye and ear, it's also a genuinely affecting love story." |
Joe Brown |
Splat 1/4 |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"You've never seen a movie go from awwwww to ewwwww so fast." |
C.W. Nevius |
Tomato 3/4 |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"This oddball story is more than a one-joke concept. Its characters are sometimes cruel, sometimes sweet, but always recognizably human." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Splat 2/4 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"Gradually the movie's one joke plays out, and Charlie's doubts about inserting himself into his own screenplay prove to be well-founded." |

Splat 2/4 |
Adoration (2009) |
"Whatever mystery is here is not a function of the story but of how Egoyan chooses to tell the story. Once all is revealed, the reaction is, 'So what?'" |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |
"This clumsy, self-indulgent film veers from comedy to tragedy and is told in flashbacks, with treacly diary entries and unconvincing 'testimonies' from friends providing a window into the past." |
John McMurtrie |

Tomato 3/4 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"With Adventureland, Mottola is using some of the stock from his Superbad triumph to make the kind of personal film he should be making, that he probably would have liked to have made in the years following Daytrippers." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"Full of that wonderful junky, clunky, huggable smartness that has made Sesame Street an enduring phenomenon." |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Parental pride may have clouded Rodriguez's judgment." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 1/4 |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"One would figure, after 400 years of bad action movies, that leaders would learn: If a woman comes at you dressed in a tight jumpsuit, duck." |

Splat 2/4 |
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"[Swank's] out of her league here and her tendency to underplay -- as if she were afraid of the material and didn't want to risk anything flamboyant or bold -- makes her performance seem tentative, half-felt." |

Afghan Star (2009) |
"Like The Kite Runner novel and movie, the documentary Afghan Star succeeds at dramatizing the lives of Afghans, but those we see on screen are real flesh-and-blood characters -- people who let their true feelings emerge." |
Jonathan Curiel |

After Innocence (2005) |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"[A] mostly terrible heist comedy." |
Carla Meyer |

After The Wedding (2007) |
"There are no guarantees with this sort of thing, but it really is possible that one or two scenes in After the Wedding will stay with you for the rest of your life." |

Against the Ropes (2003) |
"By the end, everything that was initially serious about the film becomes silly and everything appealing about it turns sour." |

Tomato 2/4 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"An entertaining film for kids and young teens." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"The same young teens who cozied up to the first picture will probably enjoy the sequel, but it won't win many new fans." |

The Agronomist (2004) |
"What comes through more than anything is Dominique's resolve -- and the ways that Haitian leaders tried to stop him." |

Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) |
"Her intense denial is fascinating, and extremely sad, to watch." |
