Tomato 3/4 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"It bumps and thumps a bit, more simulated than real, but this odd blending of "Moulin Rouge" and "Bicentennial Man" eventually makes a spectacle of itself." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 4/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"This is a very fine movie -- go see it." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"Warm in its loving yet unforgivingly inconsistent depiction of everyday people, relaxed in its perfect quiet pace and proud in its message. I loved this film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"A lush, interesting mix of media - song, old-school psychedelic effects, acting & dance. It's a musical tribute to Rock's most loved British band that plays out in America." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"Stale first act, Scrooge story, blatant product placement, some very good comedic songs, strong finish, dumb fart jokes." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"Strong direction, solid acting, and a script as crisp and juicy as freshly picked apples. A solid "A" film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"The film is complex, intricate, interesting and almost hypnotizing, till Charlie gets stuck (the screenplay he's writing is the one you're watching). Glad he had the gonads to do what he did then, but it subtracts from the overall entertainment value." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Adrenaline Rush (2004) |
"Yes, the production spends some time discussing the biology of adrenaline in the human body & de Vinci, but the bread and butter falls from the sky with cameras mounted!" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Paced well for kids, heavy on puns, and plants a few "thought-proking" seeds, but never commits to more than surface depth." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 7/10 |
An Affair of Love (2000) |

After Life (1998) |
"meaningful, but sleepy." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Against the Ropes (2003) |
"Omar Epps, sporting a great physique and aggressive acting chops, opens up the ring bringing heart and drama to an intro that hadn't much more to offer than big names." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"Mostly fun and playful, but occasionally strays from its own sense of innocence." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Akira (1988) |
"While Akira's blood splattering is over the top for me, I did enjoy the surreal, and the interesting complicated departure from the often-oversimplified good vs. evil." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Alex and Emma (2003) |
"Not terribly exciting, but somewhat amusing nonetheless. Dull first act." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ali (2001) |
"Ali's unabashed determination and belief in himself through extremely trying times ... this is what really makes him "The Greatest."" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Aliens of the Deep (2005) |
"Some great shots of some odd (alien) deep sea fish and a good tie into space exploration, but other than that, the 3D isn't that great and reaction shots go too long." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
All Access: Front Row. Backstage. Live! (2001) |
"This is the way to see a concert!" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
All of Me (1984) |
""All of me" is very funny, but not too outlandish, risque (at times) but not disgusting. A quality comedy with a heart." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 8/10 |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"Almost one of my top ten titles for the year, this imperfect diamond still has much to enjoy." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 0/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"Perhaps hoping to be a sort of hybrid Matrix meets Indiana Jones meets Alien, Unfortunately, Alone in the Dark is just a bad movie." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Though a web is one of nature's most fascinating spectacles, watching a spider weave one can be less than thrilling." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"The emotional arc and climax aren't as dynamic as they could have been, low brow humor abounds, but still -- there is never a dull moment." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Amelie (2001) |
"Amelie understands our little insanities and appreciates us for them." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"Has its share of memorable funny moments.
" |

Tomato B+ |
American Beauty (1999) |
"I'd have preferred that this realization be stumbled across by means other than pot and lust, still, a great film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"With such acting talent and some of the creators of much better films, you may be expecting more than a good farce. However, the farce is pretty much what you're getting here." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
American Experience - Return With Honor (1999) |
"Its spirit is more than enough to scale a 70 foot screen." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"This initially hokey 70's-TV-style production determinedly matures into a motion picture with cinematic impact. Happily, climax/resolution detour from others in the genre." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
American History X (1998) |
"if you've forgotten how to stay calm while somebody probes you with a pointed object such as racism -- stay home or make sure you watch this film to the end.
" |

Tomato 3/4 |
American Pie (1999) |
"you'll want the ending delayed because you'll be enjoying the movie that much." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
""Pie" took a solid story and built in great laughs, "Pie2" takes big laughs and forces in some story." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Splendor (2003) |
"A rough grumpy, yet warm portrait of a self-proclaimed pessimist, with a hesitant yet hopeful outlook. And of course, Giamatti's performance is stellar. Sticky at the outset, but ripens well." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"In a way, "American Wedding" becomes a Stiffler of a film. INTERVIEW with Sean William Scott." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"Every bit as funny as "Analyze This."" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Analyze This (1998) |
"Good Fella on the couch." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Surprise surprise, the movie outplays its trailer. Picks up big well-deserved laughs in between ever decreasing non-funny moments.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"A romantic comedy with baggage.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"A film entitled Angels & Demons, touting a challenge between religion & science in the name of the "Illuminati" should be more illuminating than a simple puzzle." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"If this were a student piece, I would have told the makers that they had something here, but it needed further fine-tuning. I'd have handed it back for revisions with the comment, "Make the whole film sparkle like the bridge scene or the bar scene."" |

Anna and the King (1999) |
"Pictorially splendid, it's largely large, epic and expansive. It's long, pack a lunch." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Another Road Home (2005) |
"Though, at times a bit incomplete, this documentary is still quite endearing, engaging and extremely educational in matters of politics and heart." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 7/10 |
Antitrust (2001) |
"Never a dull moment, well paced and suspenseful to the end." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Hard, endearing, caring, warm. Bring tissues." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Any Given Sunday (1999) |

Anywhere But Here (1999) |
