Tomato
A

The Abyss (1989)

"The movie was a bear to make and it shows onscreen, parading around a series of mesmerizing set-pieces that look deliciously hard-earned in ways our current CG-drenched filmmaking climate never allows."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Amreeka (2009)

"A fine film with much on its mind, and while suffering from occasional missteps, it holds together as a terrific expression of worry and relocation, inspecting the less illuminated side of the American Dream."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

An Education (2009)

"Material about two tantrums and a Gossip Girl cast member away from becoming a Lifetime Original event, making the nuanced accomplishments of the feature shine all the more brightly."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Angels & Demons (2009)

"Demons rolls up to bat three years after Code stormed the box office, and while Howard's promise of a snappier pace is kept, it's hard to sense much of a seismic difference between the two films. But that's fine by me."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Another Gay Sequel (2008)

"Any film that opens with a comical beheading and electrocution deserves at least some praise...Gone Wild takes this improbable franchise even further into comedic dementia."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Antichrist (2009)

"Antichrist is an original, gothic and combative; a perfect night at the movies for those who enjoy cold sweats and the inevitability of post-screening divorce proceedings."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)

"Anvil! is a stupendous document of perseverance and crushing musical industry realities, brought to life by the two men who somehow managed to keep the devil horns raised for over 30 years of disappointment."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Appaloosa (2008)

"Harris's adoration for the genre is clear, and his Appaloosa is a fine addition to a growing list of neo-westerns incorporating a respectful tone, ideal aim of violence, and heartfelt observation all in the same breath."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Armored (2009)

"A reasonably clean machine of escapist entertainment, directed resourcefully by Antal, who mines a generous amount of suspense out of a skeletal scenario."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

The Art of Travel (2008)

"It's a sturdy directorial job for a difficult movie; one that wants to spread the idea of travel as the ultimate cotton swab of life, but also engages in good times to keep the less spiritually open audience members awake."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Australia (2008)

"For the more inclined, Australia is a dramatically fertile, immersive gem: an epic with true epic intentions and execution, reinvesting in patient storytelling and widescreen magnetism."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Away We Go (2009)

"It's a lovely attitude in an engaging dramedy, and I hope Mendes has a few more of these within him before he lurches back to the dark side of human behavior."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D-

Ace Ventura Jr. (2009)

"Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective is a loathsome, exceedingly unfunny continuation of a once rewarding film series...a terrible motion picture, scraping the bottom of the barrel."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

Adam (2009)

"It's a gentle romantic dramedy, but misfires at every turn, making for a tedious motion picture that minimizes a fascinating subject."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Adam Resurrected (2008)

"The conclusion of the film conveys a sense of moderate relief over life-altering transformation, shortchanging the miracle Goldblum is working overtime to achieve."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Adventureland (2009)

"It's fantastic to observe Adventureland reach out and seek a timeless youthful uprising feel, but the film's eventual realization is a crushing disappointment."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D-

All About Steve (2009)

"Here's a scorching idea for the producers of the "Saw" franchise: a "Sandra Bullock Slapstick Comedy" death trap."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2009)

"Cluttered with obnoxious CW-scented teen characterizations, cartoonish parades of clumsy adolescent lust, and fruitless stabs of suspense, Lane is a rotten idea all around."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Amelia (2009)

"What the film offers is melodrama, more interested in the aviatrix's bedroom activities than her spirit. Amelia hunts for complexity, but it only achieves a tedious middle ground."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
F

An American Carol (2008)

"American Carol reinforces how needlessly divisive our country has become. Certainly there's a better way to say "Yay America!" than this lousy, hopeless movie, easily one of the worst films of the year."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

American Teen (2008)

"Teen yearns to expose the aching heart of high schoolers, but comes up short in rather impressive fashion, taking cues from MTV's "The Hills" to manufacture a documentary that doesn't appear to contain a living, breathing moment of reality."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Avatar (2009)

"The demand for awe starts to grind the film down after the introductory, new-car-smell period, soon left with only one-dimensional characters making predictable choices while the backgrounds flashdance to stave off dramatic inertia."

Brian Orndorf

-

Avatar (2009)

"It's impossible to tell overall quality of Avatar from a mere 15 minutes of fragmented footage, but it's safe to say James Cameron is off to a raging start."

Brian Orndorf
