A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"The characters look as though they have been flattened inside a glass slide, a perfect visual reflection of their political and psychological binds." | |
Desson Thomson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"Le Besco has an amazingly shaped face that, alone, takes you through most of the movie." | |
Desson Thomson | |

|
|
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"It's one of those rich girl/bad boy things that defy understanding and leave you on the outside. Fascinated, but on the outside." | |
Stephen Hunter | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"Its heart is in the right place. But the intelligence behind the rest of the movie is, well, a little too artificial." | |
Desson Thomson | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"Fascinating, if uneven and ultimately rather silly." | |

Abandon (2002) |
|

|
ABC Africa (2002) |

Michael O'Sullivan | |

|
|
Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"It sounds like something out of a Robert Ludlum novel, but it's heartbreakingly true, as the documentary makes clear by looking at the phenomenon not from the top down or the outside in, but from the bottom up and the inside out." | |
Stephen Hunter | |
|
|
|
| |
4.5/5 |
|
Aberdeen (2001) |

|
About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Nicholson ... produces the most understated -- and one of the most powerful -- performances of his career." | |
Desson Thomson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"The pleasures of About Schmidt are what might be called Midwestern pleasures: a sly sense of humor, sturdiness, self-discipline, solidarity." | |

"Woefully short on originality, intelligibility and anything resembling taste." | |
Hal Hinson | |
|

|
|
' Above the Rim (1994) |
|
"A stultifying cliche of a movie -- even by sports-flick standards -- this basketball allegory doesn't get anywhere near the rim." | |
Desson Thomson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"Does a good basic job of recapitulating the highs and lows of a career filled with restless energy and an outsize drive to achieve." | |
Peter Marks | |

Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"Across the Universe, in which Taymor shoehorns, contorts and otherwise bullies some of the Fab Four's greatest hits into a vapid Hollywood musical, is the kind of project that must have looked great on paper. On screen, eh, not so much." | |

The Addams Family (1991) |
|
"An otherwise very funny scene featuring Thing amounts to an extended ad for Federal Express, and the rap beats from Hammer's new album boom from passing cars in several scenes -- nothing will date this movie faster." | |
Joe Brown | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Addams Family (1991) |
|
"More than merely a sequel of the TV series, the film is a compendium of paterfamilias Charles Addams's macabre drawings, a resurrection of the cartoonist's body of work. For family friends, it would seem a viewing is de rigueur mortis." | |
Rita Kempley | |
