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." |
Michael Atkinson |
Tomato 3/4 |
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." |
Lance Gould |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alice's House (2007) |
"[The] restrained, elliptical style, focused on details rather than confrontations, and the nuanced performances make this house a home." |
Peter Keough |
Tomato 0.5/4 |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"Agonizingly lame." |
Shaula Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
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 |
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." |
Peter Keough |
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 3.5/4 |
An Education (2009) |
"Mulligan might well remind you of Audrey Hepburn more than 50 years ago in Roman Holiday." |
Brett Michel |
Tomato |
Anastasia (1997) |
"In a fall season that's already given us its share of turkeys, there should be room for any film as handsome and touching as this one." |
Jeffrey Gantz |
Tomato |
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." |
Mark Bazer |
Tomato 3/4 |
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." |
David Wildman |
Tomato 3/4 |
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." |
Peter Keough |
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." |
Gerald Peary |
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." |
Chris Faraone |
Tomato |
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." |
Mark Bazer |
Splat |
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." |
Peter Keough |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Adam (2009) |
"Adam doesn't go in for tidy resolutions, but the unintended moral is that gazing at the stars sure beats empathizing with tiresome people." |
Peter Keough |
Splat |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"The screenplay from Neil Cuthbert feels lackadaisical in his hands and loses its playfulness early on." |
Tom Meek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Aliens of the Deep (2005) |
"Though the experience is mind-boggling, it can also spark blurry optical overload." |
Tom Meek |
Splat 0/4 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"Movies don't get much worse." |
Brett Michel |
Splat 1/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"In this chintzy video-game blow-up, Christian Slater battles zombies and transmogrified beasties, revealing the horror of a once-promising career turned miserable." |
Tom Meek |
Splat 1/4 |
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." |
Betsy Sherman |
Splat |
An American Werewolf in Paris (1997) |
"The humor isn't funny, the horror isn't scary, and the digital wolf f/x look cheap." |
Rob Nelson |
Splat |
Anywhere But Here (1999) |
"The delicate, devastating pas de deux between Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman demonstrates that great actresses are still available, even if Hollywood doesn't want to use them." |
Peter Keough |
Splat 2/4 |
Armored (2009) |
"Simpson's dialogue flies like a flat-footed homage to Mamet or Tarantino." |
Tom Meek |
Splat 2/4 |
Avatar (2009) |
"Avatar might well be, as some have speculated, the future of movies -- in this case, the longest, loudest (James Horner with the 3-D equivalent of a soundtrack), most expensive ad for a video game ever made." |
