Tomato
A-

La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet (2009)

"The effort of the Paris Opera Company is astonishing, but La danse is a documentary triumph, making the mundane components of perfectionism feel as tense and engrossing as any fireball-happy Hollywood blockbuster."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

Labor Pains (2009)

"The film is just a puddle of mediocrity from filmmakers who couldn't be bothered with putting some effort into their work, and a lead actress who's only trolling for a quick paycheck."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

Labor Pains (2009)

"Labor Pains is a dreary comedy, lazily going through the motions, accurately reflecting Lohan's current interest level in her own self-worth. There's nothing funny or sweet about it."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

Lakeview Terrace (2008)

"Granted, this is hardly Wicker Man 2: NOT THE BEES!, but LaBute should be counted on for a movie with more teeth than what Lakeview Terrace is prepared to offer"

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

"Perhaps not the most mesmerizing of love stories, Last Chance Harvey submits one of the most richly acted illustrations of attraction found this year."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

The Last Starfighter (1984)

"One of the few successful Spielberg clones, administering the usual routine of aliens and mouth-agape wonder with friendly determination and a perfect, just perfect, game boy screenwriting hook."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C+

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

"By the time a robot shows up in a graveyard to mow down the greater Philadelphia D.A. office, it'll take a heavenly force to keep most eyes from rolling."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Leatherheads (2008)

"Executed with a fizzy bang that Clooney pulls off with a prohibition stupor and some knee-slapping generosity; the man knows how to stage a bar fight and a game of verbal chess with the best of them."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Let It Ride (1989)

"Let It Ride limps to its conclusion, though it doesn't go down without a fight. Pytka struggles to keep the bottle rocket vibe of the movie engaged to the bitter end."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Let the Right One In (2008)

"Right One is a marvel: an ingenious genre film that manages to terrify and endear in the same instant, deftly erecting one of the most persuasive, haunting film experiences of the year."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

"One of the finest examples of the genre, and, in my humble estimation, one of the greatest sequels put to film. Perhaps deranged hyperbole, but rarely does a follow-up outgun the original film as swiftly as Lethal 2 does."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

Licence to Kill (1989)

"It's a strained, sexless, and overcooked film...Dalton's game, but the film is inert, perhaps unprepared to work with the new Irish Kiss direction of the series."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)

"The roles are superbly realized by Wood and Thurman, but the real backbone of the picture is Perelman, who takes great care to weave the small tragedies into a wounded whole."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Lilya 4-Ever (2003)

"A harsh dramatic brew, Lilya 4-Ever is a monumental, abrasive document of a young life flushed down the drain; it's an exceptional, deafening humanitarian alarm that will continue to overwhelm and outrage for years to come."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

The Limits of Control (2009)

"This is not a hollow motion picture, just an inert one, displaying a puzzling atlas of abstraction that seems sincere enough; there's just not a single reason to care about any of it."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Lock Up (1989)

"Director John Flynn keeps it all in check and creates a believable prison community, but the screenplay insists on cliché and idiocy to get by."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

The Longshots (2008)

"The guy who gifted the world Nookie is making movies these days, and much like the music he created with band Limp Bizkit, Durst's cinematic sensibilities are hackneyed, tiresome, and lack sorely needed rehearsal."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D-

Lost Boys - The Tribe (2008)

"As if the world needed another reason to celebrate The Lost Boys, The Tribe, and every second of its bumbling uselessness, just made me want to hug Joel Schumacher's film even tighter."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Lost in Translation (2003)

"A relationship picture with elegant connective tissue; it's brittle and real, focused on the nuances of body language and unspoken desire, while indulging in a cheeky bit of knowing absurdity when the mood strikes."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

The Love Guru (2008)

"We get it, Mike: testicles are hilarious. Move on, please."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Love Happens (2009)

"Hiring irritating actors Judy Greer and Dan Fogler to play buddy roles in Happens is a terrific way to state to the audience that filmmakers have little to no imagination, looking to the routine and the tiresome to squeak by"

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

Love Hurts (2009)

"It's bloodless material, sluggishly captured by Barra, who's trapped in directorial survival mode, terrified to color outside of the lines."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

The Lucky Ones (2008)

"Lucky might have its heart in the right place trying to soften the image of the average Iraq War soldier, but this is a clumsy, insufferable feature film of excessive formula and embarrassing dramatic development."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Lymelife (2009)

"It's awkward and transparent, inviting more confusion than closure. Lymelife is an attractive indie film package, but a desperately routine one that shock value cannot salvage."

Brian Orndorf
