Adam (2009) |
"Adam is As Good as It Gets with a dash of Rain Man, movie comfort food, but still charms us through the familiar rhythms of its story." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Adoration (2009) |
"A gimmicky, sad and beautifully acted mystery that keeps its secrets even when it loses its grasp of the logical." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"The only adventure here will be for kids too young to know what 'coming of age' means. And they can't get into an R-rated movie." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"Stupid movie, right? But kid-friendly." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"All About Steve, an unfunny, annoying, badly written, badly acted comic fiasco, may be the worst movie in Bullock's career." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Amelia (2009) |
"Amelia earns a pass, corny as it sometimes is. The lady earned her wings, and Swank, especially, more than does right by both the woman and the legend." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Amreeka (2009) |
"The immigrant experience gets a fresh, post- 9/11 Palestinian spin in Amreeka, a film that has all the familiar ingredients but is such a well-acted, winning re-combination of those that we see them with fresh eyes." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"It's doesn't quite pay off, but Angels & Demons does a much better job of balancing the blasphemy and blood, heresy and heroics that were Brown's ticket to eternal wealth if not eternal life." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) |
"Cute if predictable." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Armored (2009) |
"Over-familiar and industrial, a factory film made because a recycled script, minimal budget, a location, a grab-bag cast and some armored trucks were available." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Avatar (2009) |
"As visionary tour guide, Cameron has no equal. Predictable story, clichéd dialogue and logical lapses aside, he’s still the man we want leading us into his Pandora’s box." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Away We Go (2009) |
"Away We Go makes a nice metaphor for a rootless, self-involved culture of parents trying to get it right and getting all the wrong advice as they do." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
An American Carol (2008) |
"It's a polemic, a screed, a combination comic rant and sentimental flag-waver that doesn't work as either." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
American Teen (2008) |
"The whirl of hormones, high hopes and hysterical drama that is high school earns its close-up in American Teen, a smart and revealing look at the Class of 2006 in Warsaw, Indiana." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Animation Show 4 (2008) |
"The high points are few and far between in Judge's second Animation Show." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"Ed Harris, working from a Robert Parker novel, has crafted a meticulously detailed, newfangled old-fashioned morality tale of hard men who go soft when a woman comes between them." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Australia (2008) |
"It's messy and overwrought. But ambition this grand is worth two hours and 40 minutes of Aussie scenery, history (fudged), romance and war." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |

Tomato 5/5 |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"Lovely, dense and surprising." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"It's a limited movie, from the musical palette the performers choose, to the number of players the movie spends time with." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"[Writer/director Cassavetes] never masters the tone and lands as many unintentional laughs as intentional ones. But he still manages, on occasion, to chill you to the bone." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"Thanks to Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Fab Fur make a comeback any pre-K kid would love." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Amazing Grace arrives Hollywood-slick, a polished British period piece. It manipulates, but then again, so does the song that gives it its title. Movies, like hymns and history, should give us a good cry." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"It's not just Oscar bait for its two dazzling leading men. It's a fascinating look at the Land of Opportunity as seen through the eyes of its most amoral opportunists." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"Besson's black-and-white angel fantasy is a weak homage to Wings of Desire, if that's what he was shooting for." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"To think we laughed at Boston. Then. They knew a bomb when they saw one." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Arctic Tale (2007) |
"See this in a cool theater on a hot summer day." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"Are We Done Yet? isn't funny or original enough to recommend. But it's amusing to watch Ice play straight-man to McGinley's perky, needy, too-helpful Chuck." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
"There's a reason American animated filmmakers don't use the great Robert De Niro, Jason Bateman and Madonna to voice their cartoons. These big names add nothing to this frustrating goulash of fairy tales and fantasy-film ingredients." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"It's a view of the West beyond the myth that's worth enduring, if not relishing." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"A dreadful mismatch of indie 'arty' filmmakers and a Hollywood popcorny family formula script. The [directors] copy shots, icons and themes from The Right Stuff, but plainly never got a handle on how to make their quirky screenplay work." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Asylum (2007) |
"[An] utterly inept follow-up horror of a horror film by Snakes [on a Plane] director David R. Ellis." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Atonement (2007) |
"A film that instantly joins the ranks of the great screen romances." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
August Rush (2007) |
"For all its patently absurd situations, its occasionally cloying characters and its naked tugs at the old heartstrings, August Rush still finds a way, every so often, of dropping a lump into your throat." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
"Even if this fine French meal isn't as rich or feels a little less than it might have been, it's still delightful to sit through, course after winning course." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Awake (2007) |
"[Joby] Harold's script has a surprise or three in it, a biggy near the end. But he's a director with no poker face. He tips his hand early and often." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Beautifully written, from an Alice Munro short story, this movie directed by an actress rarely missteps, even when it bravely includes the dark humor inherent in this situation." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Linklater's willingness to experiment ... is laudable. But I'm not sure he's reinventing animation here, or even adequately serving that older-than-children animation audience." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Half-witted it may be, but as back-to-school time-killers go, Accepted's right on the edge of acceptable." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Starting your film with a display of public incontinence isn't the best way to win over the audience." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"... a delight to sit through ..." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"Nobody wants to see a violent James Bond send-up, with a British teen risking life and limb for Jolly Olde England, matched against a toothpick chomping 'computer genius' villain played by Mickey Rourke." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the King's Men is the noblest kind of film failure -- high-minded, literary, cautionary, well-cast and pretty well-acted." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Altered (2006) |
"Too many of the arguments are whispered, too many settings are missing the horrific atmosphere the movie requires." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"American Dreamz isn't mean enough or funny enough." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |

Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Annapolis (2006) |
"From the obviously fake shipyard to the repeated violations of what most of us recognize as the 'Code' of the Academy, to the absurd casting of people who couldn't physically hack the Academy's physical requirements, Annapolis fails." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Ant Bully (2006) |

Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"Mel Gibson's Apocalypto passes the only movie test that's important. It's the 'I'd pay to see that' test." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Aquamarine (2006) |
"Aquamarine really is just an adorable movie. And along the way, life lessons about love, friendship, adjusting to bad news and overcoming grief -- are passed along in a not-that-obvious fashion." |
Roger Moore |
