La Perdicion de los Hombres (2000) |
"Like something out of a Happy Gilmore dream sequence (save the lack of a lingerie-clad Julie Bowden brandishing pitchers of beer)." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Baltimore’s firemen are way less interesting than their cops (see The Wire and Homicide: Life on the Streets), or New York’s finest (see Rescue Me)." |

The Ladies Man (2000) |
"The script abandons ideas like comic timing and, well, common sense." |

The Lady and the Duke (2002) |
"As visually arresting as it is distractingly odd" |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Mysterious and sweet. It's scary and it's funny, and it's deeply moving, too. That makes Water a rare exception in terms of cinematic hybrids, but it also represents Shyamalan's best effort since 2000's Unbreakable." |

Tomato |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"Hands down, the best conclusion to a trilogy, and easily the best triptych since the original Star Wars." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Hanks has never been better than he is here, as a Colonel Sanders with fake teeth who constantly uses 40 words when two or three would do just fine." |

Tomato |
Lake of Fire (2007) |
"Here's a fun game you can play: Try to guess the political stance of the interviewee before Kaye slams their name and affiliation. You'll be right way more often than you'll be wrong." |

Tomato |
Land of Plenty (2004) |
"Williams eats the camera in a way you only get to see every year, if you're lucky." |

Lantana (2001) |

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"There's a ton of stuff that makes absolutely no sense, and the bad guy could be a bit more colorful but again, please grade using The Bond Curve." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"Tomb Raider is full of the things that made Raiders of the Lost Ark a cool ride." |

Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |

Last Resort (2001) |
"Pavlikovsky ... does a great job wielding his handheld camera to make this film feel like a documentary." |
Jon Popick |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"A lot of stuff you've seen a hundred times in other movies, all fronted by a guy who has played this exact same role in a bunch of other films." |

Late Marriage (2001) |
"A very funny look at how another culture handles the process of courting and marriage." |

Le Cercle Rouge (1970) |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"It's totally refreshing and, honestly, almost a little unnerving to see (a film) where the protagonists don't get to high-five each other before walking off into the sunset." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Levity (2003) |
"Blessed with so much talent in front of and behind the camera, I'm pretty sure even Joel Schumacher wouldn't be able to make a total mess of it." |

Liam (2001) |
"Borrows, like most of the actors in the film (other than Hart), has no acting experience, but does a remarkable job." |

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999) |
"The film opens and closes with the Marx Brothers singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' in Yiddish. And how could you resist something like that?" |

Life or Something Like It (2002) |
