A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"If you're looking for some sort of alternative to a three-hour sequel to a bad film based on an amusement park ride, Darkly might be the picture for you." |

Tomato |
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"Decent first and third act, but Now sags a bit too much in the middle. A must-see for fans of the black-and-white flicks, though." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Parts of the film get Phantom-Menaced down a bit, especially in one scene that features the voice of Robin Williams, but for the most part, it's all good." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005) |
"Just when you thought there weren't any more reasons to hate America." |

Splat 5/10 |
Abandon (2002) |
"A bit of an unwieldy mess." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"It's a confusing road-trip flick, but Headey's terrific outing is more than enough to hold the mess together." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Grant shines when finally given a role that situates him in the middle of his bumbling good guy and odious prick range." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"It's truly a thrill to see the steady yet remarkable (not to mention darn exciting) growth exhibited by young filmmakers like Payne" |

Acts of Worship (2001) |
"You'd be hard-pressed to find a better movie about addiction than this debut" |

Tomato 6/10 |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"The most stirring holiday film since Prancer, and the best animated musical since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"Adam ends up learning a lot of important life lessons, but this isn't sappy storytelling." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
Adanggaman (2001) |
"A somewhat exciting new film from the Ivory Coast that breaks the lame American cinematic slavery mold." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman don't just break down the fourth wall so much as completely obliterate it. The result is certainly the most original film of the year, if not since their very own Being John Malkovich." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Adrenaline Drive (1999) |
"A notable, tongue-in-cheek mélange of American action-film clichés, despite containing a baffling lack of most American action-film clichés." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"A typical arthouse road-trip flick, in that nothing exciting happens." |

Aftermath (2004) |
"I liked it a lot." |

Splat 2/10 |
Against the Ropes (2003) |
"Easily the worst film about boxing I've ever seen, and I've been trying to think of a sport-related flick equally as unappealing for the last week. I'm still drawing blanks." |

Aimee & Jaguar (2000) |
"Färberböck does a great job at capturing Lilly’s first nervous foray into lesbianism, as well as Felice’s cautiousness at becoming involved in a potentially dangerous relationship." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Represents everything that’s wrong with the big, bloated Hollywood pseudo-epic: Too much with the lavish and not enough connecting with viewers" |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Alexandra (2008) |
"The performance of 80-year-old Vishnevskay is priceless." |

Alfie (2004) |
"A remake that deserves to be put in a burlap sack and drowned like a litter of kittens." |

Ali (2001) |
"As an accurate biopic, Ali might not be that great, but visually, it's pretty damn amazing." |
Jon Popick |

Ali G Indahouse: The Movie (2002) |
"A cross between Spice World and Malibu’s Most Wanted, only much funnier." |

All The King's Men (2006) |

All the Real Girls (2003) |
"Has a much sharper focus than George Washington, making it a more accomplished picture." |

Tomato 8/10 |
Almost Famous (2000) |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |

American Beauty (1999) |
"Nothing short of perfection." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 2/10 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"You'd think the idea of a satire that combined politics and pop culture would be rife with possibility, but Weitz is more timid in the box than Jon Heder in The Benchwarmers." |
