L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"Admiration will likely extend for years to come." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"There's a riveting tale within this awkward litany of pivotal moments. Still, despite the film's uneven nature, Cotillard's extraordinary performance is worth experiencing." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Needs cogent drama or star power, but it doesn't have either." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007) |
"The con they carefully plan is perilous and close to impossible, but the outcome is surprisingly heart-warming and satisfying." |

Splat 2/4 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Though the result is too idiosyncratic to be regarded as just one more summer-movie whiff, those who see it may feel a need to act like a pool lifeguard and blow the whistle on Shyamalan." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Those seeking a quirky and clever comedy should hightail it to The Ladykillers forthwith." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"The Lake House is one of the more befuddling movies of recent years. The premise makes no sense, no matter how you turn it around in your head." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat |
Lake Placid (1999) |
"Pullman once made a career playing bumbling idiots, but now he seems to play only dashing leading men. He was better at bumblers." |
Andy Seiler |
Splat 2/4 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"As social commentary, it doesn't go deeply enough, and as a psychological thriller, it peters out in silliness." |
Claudia Puig |

Land of the Lost (2009) |
"See Land of the Lost's Sleestaks!" |

Tomato |
Lantana (2001) |
"A very adult picture with adult concerns that lingers in the mind the way so many of this year's Hollywood releases have not." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 2/4 |
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"For a movie based on a video game, the story is as far-fetched and the characters as one-dimensional as one might expect." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"If only the story that surrounds this watchable heroine were as well-stacked." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Splat 2/4 |
Larger Than Life (1996) |
"Manages to eke out only infrequent, peanut-size pleasures along its lumbering way." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |
"Lars and the Real Girl is a tenderly observed and affecting Capra-esque fable that is well-acted and gently funny." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat |
The Last Castle (2001) |
"Hefty star power is wasted in this overheated drama." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Last Dance (1996) |
"If this is a dance, the band has left the stand, and the bus boys are already mopping up melted ice." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Last Days (2005) |
"Last Days is unconventional and artistic but also ponderous." |
Claudia Puig |

Last Holiday (2006) |
"The frothy Last Holiday serves its purpose: amusing escapism." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1/4 |
The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"Not only is it plodding and completely predictable, the carnage is rendered slowly and quasi-reverentially, making the whole brutal experience come off like torture porn." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Whitaker is formidably compelling as a man whose quixotic temperament and larger-than-life persona both fascinate and repel." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Last Kiss (2006) |
"... the movie occasionally reveals truths about relationships that, while not earth-shattering, are nonetheless entertaining and worth considering." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
The Last Mimzy (2007) |
"The movie grows muddled with too many tedious segments involving adults." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat |
The Last Samurai (2003) |
"It's all so stolid and humorless, even the scenes in San Francisco, without compensating epic sweep." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Last Station (2009) |
"Every second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Last Supper (1995) |
"A delectable black comedy." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Tomato 3/4 |
Laurel Canyon (2003) |
"All the performances are strong, but McDormand, Bale and Nivola's are most powerful." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |
"The exploration of right and wrong, and its complicated lack of clarity, gets trammeled amid the bevy of explosions, volley of bullets and mounting body count." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War (1995) |
"Mowing the lawn might be more involving than watching this subpar sci-fi sequel, which manages to be complicated and witless at the same time." |
Andy Seiler |
Splat 2/4 |
Laws of Attraction (2004) |
"You have to admire Pierce Brosnan, Julianne Moore and Frances Fisher for never giving up in Laws of Attraction. But watching actors labor so strenuously to re-create the feel of vintage Hollywood deflates the cause rather than exalts it." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Layer Cake (2005) |
"This is one of those movies in which you simply pluck out what there is to entertain you and forget about the rest." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) |
"This movie is so boring that the mind floats to extraneous matters ..." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
League of Ordinary Gentlemen (2005) |
"Its 98 minutes are as easy to enjoy as picking up a spare, and we don't mean a tire around the waist." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Leatherheads (2008) |
"More amiable than witty and relying heavily on the likability and charm of its lead actors, Leatherheads scores more points as a retro romantic comedy than a football saga." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Leave it to Beaver (1997) |
"The result is depressingly halfhearted." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Leaving Las Vegas (1995) |
"Tough to watch, but haunting enough to deserve its initial praise." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato |
Legally Blonde (2001) |
"A near-laugh riot thanks to an irresistible leading lady whose comic instincts are as impeccable as her manicure." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |
"The first one was silly fun, amusing and oddly inventive; the second is plodding, unfunny and almost cringe-worthy." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"Though there's worse entertainment around, there may be more people rabid for the return of Prohibition than for a Zorro sequel seven years after the fact." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"Though the movie is a literate adventure story, the series' dark tone is lightened up in the film just enough to make one yearn for the darkly twisted witticisms and pervasive anxiety that made Handler's books uniquely appealing." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3/4 |
Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2006) |
"The raspy-voiced troubadour is celebrated in the mesmerizing documentary Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man." |
Claudia Puig |

Les Miserables (1995) |
"Exasperatingly overstuffed, the movie finally proves disarming (to a point) on spectacle alone." |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"It takes a filmmaker possessed of a rare, almost alchemic, blend of maturity, wisdom and artistic finesse to create such an intimate, moving and spare war film as Clint Eastwood has done." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Levity (2003) |
"It's an intriguing movie, and Thornton's performance is both fascinating and maddening." |
Claudia Puig |

Liam (2001) |
"Its warning of how religious intolerance can fester into hatred is one to be heeded more than ever." |
