American Psycho (2000) |

American Splendor (2003) |
"Inventive and fascinating -- one of the strongest indie releases of 2003." |

Amores Perros (2001) |
"Amores would have been an amazing enough film, but learning it's Alejandro González Iñárritu's directorial debut is a little like getting the wind knocked out of you." |

Tomato 6/10 |
Amy's O (2002) |
"Surprisingly insightful" |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"It's a choppy mess. Comedy without rhythm is barely comedy, a point proven by the outtakes that run during That's closing credits. They're funnier than 90% of the film's actual content." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Analyze This (1998) |
"Great _bleep_ movie. Funny as _bleep_." |

Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"May have been more effective if the film had focused more on the stunning visuals and less on the weird New Age stuff flying out of Goldsworthy's mouth." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Angel (2007) |
"Ozon instead crafts the anti-Disney story about a self-centered, unsophisticated brat who treats everyone badly just because she can crank out chick lit with a surprising lack of effort." |

Angel Rodriguez (2007) |
"You never get a false moment in a Jim McKay film." |

Anger Management (2003) |
"Where Punch-Drunk Love emphasized incongruous romance, this film highlights bizarre comedy much the same way it was achieved in Planes, Trains & Automobiles." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Animal Factory (2000) |
"A scary and unflinching look at prison life." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"Anna and the King has a lot to offer." |

Tomato |
The Annihilation of Fish (2001) |
"A guaranteed crowd-pleaser, no doubt due to the fine performances from Jones (other than his poor accent) and Redgrave." |

The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"With few exceptions, people who produce and direct their own scripts and insist on casting themselves in the lead roles are a self-absorbed sort." |

Antonia (2007) |
"File this one under: Middling." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Yet another year-end, by-the-numbers, button-pushing biopic, but this one is sub-par even when compared to its sickly, tired brethren. It's a dime-a-dozen film that's being touted as a hit simply because it's Denzel Washington's directorial debut." |

Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"The game sequences are spectacular!" |

Anything Else (2003) |
"Surprisingly uneven for a filmmaker whose movies are generally tight, crisp productions." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Anywhere But Here (1999) |
"Anywhere But Here has an amazing look and feel." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) |
"If anything, it's an excuse to see the film on the big screen, and that's good enough for me." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"Beautiful and, at the same time, completely savage, and that's something you don't get too often at the holidays unless there's a new Rugrats movie in theatres." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Ararat (2002) |
"I kind of dug the way Egoyan structured his unique story." |

Arctic Tale (2007) |
"Far from captivating." |

Art School Confidential (2006) |
"This might have played better if the same riffs weren't already explored in Six Feet Under." |

Tomato |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"Loping, lyrical, contemplative, poetic, Malick-meets-David Gordon Green style." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"Based on a 1974 story involving a disgruntled American and his desire to hijack a commercial airliner so he can smash it into the White House. Sounds Christmassy, don't it?" |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
Assassination Tango (2003) |
"Imagine Larry King demanding CNN give his latest wife her own hour-long weeknight talk show, and you'll get a pretty good idea of the level of self-indulgence in Tango." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Assisted Living (2005) |
"Viewers who complain about the subject being “depressing” and “uncomfortable” are either missing the point, or simply haven’t been to a nursing home in a really long time." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 6/10 |
Asylum (2005) |
"Richardson is terrific, but not worth a trip to see this in the theatre." |
Jon Popick |

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) |
"Way too complicated for kids and just too dull for adults." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Atonement (2007) |
"Sightly better than average, unless you count Keira Knightley's lack of screen time as a positive (note: it is)." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Audition (2001) |
"Shows what could happen when you do diabolical things like listening to your friends and objectifying women (especially crazy ones)." |
Jon Popick |

August Rush (2007) |
"Think of it as a fairytale only with more of a ... oh, who am I kidding? I can't defend this." |

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
"I'm completely amazed that Mike Myers and crew are able to milk this many laughs from material that should be pretty stale by now." |

Auto Focus (2002) |
"I get about 30 e-mail messages every day trying to sell me services quite similar to what Crane did back in the early days of home video, which might be the reason why Focus fell disappointingly flat." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Aviator (2004) |
"Isn’t nearly as enjoyable as Gangs of New York, though it is flawed in many of the same ways." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Sarah Polley does well just to not let Her devolve into a Canadian version of The Notebook." |
