The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"Since Scream poured irony into the mix, it has become mighty hard to write a line of dialogue that doesn't elicit winks and nods. We all know where the mayhem's leading." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
An Education (2009) |
"The film is gentle with its judgments. Or most of them." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
"A lot better than a slapped-together sequel to a campy original has any right to be." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"Just a collection of this and that -- whatever fills time -- with no unified whole." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat |
Analyze This (1998) |
"Some good jokes but a bad plot." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Always affectionate toward its people, especially when they are at their most ridiculous, Anchorman meticulously builds America's dimmest news team. And we root for them." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003) |
"A beautifully crafted meditation on memory, fate, coincidence and yearning." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Director Schumacher understands what he has in Rossum and often frames her with the sort of close-up that evokes a Golden Age movie star in her budding glory." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 4/4 |
Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"Like Goldsworthy's art, it is primal, transcendent and truthful." |
Kyle MacMillan |
Splat |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"Features the dullest, most poorly matched romantic couple since Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron lit up the screen in Sweet November." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"Lacks the magnificence of his book, but it is worth seeing." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 2/4 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Howard seems to count on audience goodwill toward Hanks carrying over to Langdon, filling in the hero's many blanks." |

Anna and the King (1999) |
"What's missing, however, is the one element that would have made it work -- credible, developing romantic tension between Anna and the king." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Annapolis (2006) |
"Annapolis leaves you vaguely seasick from unearned adrenaline. The editing works to make the climaxes sharp, but in the end your stomach is too empty to keep it all down." |
Michael Booth |
Splat |
The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"A textbook example of why actors sometimes should just act." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Antichrist (2009) |
"Von Trier and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle use sumptuous black-and-white photography and saturated color. Few movies are as beautifully wrought as this." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat |
Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"Sunday is the latest example of this year's worst movie trend, in which hyperstylist directors attempt to force their way through flawed, poorly developed stories by 'showing their stuff.'" |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 2/4 |
Anything But Love (2003) |
"To borrow a word from another American standard, Anything but Love, is hardly unforgettable. But if you're looking for the movie equivalent of comfort food, then there's something to dig into here." |

Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) |
"Redux doesn't redefine Apocalypse Now -- rather, it adds archival material. But it's terrific to see the film back in theaters." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"Apocalypto wants us to believe there is an overpowering darkness in the land, while I can't quite get past a suspicion of overpowering darkness in the filmmaker." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 3/4 |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"Harris directs with a steady hand and sharp eye for the best in his fellow actors." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"Fans of Aqua Teen who couldn't wait for the next TV season? You'll likely love it. The uninitiated? It would be a lot cheaper to watch five minutes of the Cartoon Network. Save your money for some higher-quality, nonanimated fast food." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Architect (2006) |
"Too many "big" moments are happening to too many people for the movie to feel plausible, and Tauber tries to tie many of those plots together in a way that seems contrived." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 2/4 |
Arctic Tale (2007) |
"There's no Jane Goodall required. And the absence of humans proves we needn't be onscreen to make our presence known." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Are We There Yet? (2005) |
"How much sweeter Nick's heart-to-heart with Lindsey and Kevin would be if the movie was more than a clichéd journey." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Aristocrats (2005) |
"As The Aristocrats repeats its chorus of dirt again and again, one starts to weary. Call it filth fatigue." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Around the World in 80 Days (2004) |
"Is it any wonder [Chan] is aching for something different?" |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Art School Confidential (2006) |
"There's not a single person to like in Art School Confidential, a crucial mistake in a movie filled with mean, shallow and self-absorbed characters." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ask the Dust (2005) |
"What gives Ask the Dust its quiet vitality -- beyond Farrell's muscular yet delicate portrayal -- is the fear of failing to grasp the brass ring that appears through much of the movie." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"Awesome splendor and a striking essay on celebrity reward those who brave the 2 1/2-hour run time." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"The always remarkable Penn infuses Sam Bicke with more originality than the plot allowed. Mueller took a real-life incident now lost in the history books and re-created a sympathetic back story for Bicke." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 1/4 |
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"One of the few good things to be said about Assault on Precinct 13 is that, early in the new season, we get one of the year's worst movies over and done with." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Assisted Living (2005) |
"Assisted Living is a remarkably moving look at the prisons in our midst that most of us manage to ignore until we need them." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"It tries to be more than an amusing Disney sitcom about crazy dad and his big rocket. But it's somewhat less than a deep exploration of character and responsibility." |
Michael Booth |
Splat |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) |
"A film without an artistic vision to match its commercial one." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Atonement (2007) |
"Craft is everywhere in the film, in many touches that make it elegantly forceful." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
"With so many impersonations to keep track off, director Jay Roach winds up moving between Myers and Myers so often that the editing feels like a crude cut-and-paste job." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Australia (2008) |
"Even more than a Western, Australia is a musical without a songbook. Its emotions are large, its rhythms bold." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Auto Focus (2002) |
"Schrader, I think, has found an approach that suits the skewed cultural history of his material." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
The Aviator (2004) |
"Hughes is the conduit for a titan of moviemaking to meditate gloriously on the power of film and flight to transform a nation, a culture, a world." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Upon seeing Away From Her again, I'm content with my sense memory. I'm even more pleased with how much of this fine film's nuance and detail feel fresh." |
