An American Carol (2008) |
"Using sledgehammer gags in the service of a dissent-bashing tale, Zucker aims for the flag-waving brio of Warner Bros. cartoons during World War II, but he succeeds only in ruining Farley’s big break." |

All About Steve (2009) |
"Movies don't get much worse." |

An Education (2009) |
"Mulligan might well remind you of Audrey Hepburn more than 50 years ago in Roman Holiday." |

Tomato 2/4 |
Astro Boy (2009) |
"Serious Tezuka fans will likely appreciate the sharp multi-dimensional presentation, even as they resent Osamu’s being pimped out for Obama." |

The Answer Man (2009) |
"First-time director/screenwriter John Hindman seems aware of how predictable his premise could be, and despite a plot hole or two, he's put together a smart script with likable characters and lively dialogue that subverts the obvious clichés." |

Amarcord (1974) |
"Seen today, Amarcord is something of a disappointment, clever and moving in places, but also sprawling, undisciplined, clumsy in patches, and decidedly overlong." |
Gerald Peary |
Tomato 3/4 |
Amreeka (2009) |
"The political ironies are obvious, and the American section is predictable, but Amreeka is winning all the same, because of the ensemble, and the humanism of its first-time filmmaker." |
Gerald Peary |
Tomato 4/4 |
Araya (1959) |
"Be grateful that Araya is here, in an exquisitely restored print, with images of struggling Venezuelan peasants as luminous as the Mexican photographs of Edward Weston." |

Anastasia (1997) |

Afghan Star (2009) |
"Director Havana Marking's work is quite moving, particularly when it follows two of the three women who compete with nearly 2000 male applicants for the title." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Even if many of the film’s individual characters aren’t worth remembering an hour after you see the movie, Anchorman is almost always hilarious." |

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) |
"Myers's charming goofiness lets him push even the most cliché'd jokes so far that they become funny." |

Abraham's Valley (1993) |
"When others would be retiring, Oliveira gives us movie after movie that begs to be indulged, with great affection, as the autumnal output of a codger deserving of, if not destined for, a Lifetime Achievement Oscar." |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A project nursed for years by Kubrick and bequeathed to his friend, A.I. is not only Spielberg’s least-pleasant film, it’s a willful self-deconstruction that will make it impossible to look at the director’s films the same way again." |

American Casino (2009) |
"Putting a face on the incomprehensible figures, the film takes a look at some of the victims, middle-class professionals who bought into the dream of home ownership and lost everything." |

Antichrist (2009) |
"I’m torn between dismissing the film as gross-out juvenilia and regarding it as raw religious mythmaking. Either way, you won’t find a livelier time at the movies these days, if only because of the outraged groans and dumfounded gasps from the audience." |

Anywhere But Here (1999) |
