Adventureland (2009) |
"One of Mottola's best jokes involves Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus".... [I]t's hard to imagine a better use of nostalgia: to remind us of the many things we miss from a particular time, and the one reason we would never, ever want to go back." |

Angels & Demons (2009) |
"[T]he film does not conclude with Langdon being elected Pope himself, but, watching the spiraling inanities of the last 20 minutes, one might be forgiven for thinking it would be the next logical step." |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the story...of the moment in America when myth was murdered by mere celebrity and we were left, perhaps forever, with only the latter's meager consolations." |

Atonement (2007) |
"Atonement is a film out of balance, nimble enough in its first half but oddly scattered and ungainly once it leaves the grounds of the Tallis estate." |

Australia (2008) |
"Dear Baz Luhrmann: You have a problem, and the first step toward solving it is recognizing it: Despite your manifest gifts as a filmmaker, you can't do tragedy. And you need to stop trying." |

Away We Go (2009) |
"You may very well enjoy Away We Go more than I did. But rest assured that you will never love this movie as much as it loves itself." |

Aberdeen (2001) |

After Sex (1997) |
"Rouan's writing, as far as can be judged from subtitles, is pointed and vital. Her performance is superb." |

Air Force One (1997) |
"Up to this moment, every detail ... has been exact ... But, because of that initial realism, audiences accept the fakery of what follows ... a president who, in physical prowess and stamina, makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look limp." |

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"This film by Nick Doob and Chris Hegedus forces us to make some decisions about him. For myself, I find him generally gross, in person and in manner." |

American Beauty (1999) |
"It never justifies the blatancy of its opening, and it never does anything to freshen what is only one more journey through familiar fortyish unfulfillment." |

American Dreamz (2006) |
"A moderately engaging satire, some of it amusing and some of it strained, but in considerable measure it reflects a strange circumstance in all our lives." |

Anna Karenina (1997) |

Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |

As Good as It Gets (1997) |
"Nicholson struggles for the core of the man but never gets it; so, in most scenes, he resorts to working his face, with grimaces and sneering smiles and lip-pursings in place of acting." |
