All About Steve (2009) |
" ... hopelessly harebrained ..." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"...too long and ponderous for its own good, but Howard and Co. gloss over or eliminate most of the more outlandish howlers in Brown's preposterous story." |
Jim Lane |
Tomato 4/5 |
Astro Boy (2009) |
" ... the familiarity gives it the elemental power of a fairy tale." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 2/5 |
An American Carol (2008) |
"...too unfocused and ill-disciplined to work either as Dickens pastiche or as political satire." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 2/5 |
American Teen (2008) |
"It’s diverting if you don’t mind the pretense, or if you believe everything you see at the movies." |
Jim Lane |

American Gangster (2007) |
"Once we ignore that nagging sense that American Gangster is sidestepping the best parts of the story...the movie has plenty of pleasures." |
Jim Lane |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |

"...a stark, clear-eyed picture of outlaw life in the real wild west." |
Jim Lane |
Tomato 3/5 |

Awake (2007) |
"It becomes more and more fun as the twists pile up -- not entirely convincing, but diverting, like something concocted by a bright eighth-grader." |
Jim Lane |
Tomato 5/5 |
Away From Her (2007) |

Tomato 4/5 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"This is the kind of movie that audiences gather to their hearts (see Finding Neverland, Good Will Hunting, etc.), and it seems almost churlish to resist." |
Jim Lane |
Tomato 3/5 |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"As a record of the Al Franken you already know and love, Hegedus and Doob's rather slapdash movie is fun." |
Jim Lane |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alien Autopsy (2006) |
"It’s a droll story, told with a straight face that makes the quintessentially British shuck-and-jive all the more hilarious." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 1/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"Zaillian’s movie is bloated, literary and highfalutin, looking and sounding like it’s been reverently adapted from the kind of novel Willie Stark’s hicks would never read into the kind of movie they wouldn’t be caught dead going to see." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 2/5 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"his movie, full of easy swipes at easy targets, comes off like that overly chummy guy at a party who got drunk too early and goes around taking too long to set up a joke that’s already been beaten to death." |
Jonathan Kiefer |
Splat 2/5 |
An American Haunting (2006) |
"Director Courtney Solomon’s script is a catalogue of the standard Exorcist-style special effects, hammered home by Caine Davidson’s musical score, one of the most irritating and nerve-wracking assemblies of noise in movie history." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 1/5 |
Annapolis (2006) |
"It’s never less than excruciatingly predictable, unintentionally funny and dripping with moldy clichés." |

Apocalypto (2006) |
"Apocalypto is assertive with its demand for suspended disbelief. Clearly Gibson has some powerful, elemental moviemaking stuff going on." |
Jonathan Kiefer |
Splat 2/5 |
Aquamarine (2006) |
"It’s silly and trivial but harmless enough for undemanding teenage girls, and Roberts and Levesque make a vivacious team." |
Jim Lane |
Splat 3/5 |
Art School Confidential (2006) |
"It’s fine that this film feels uncomfortable indulging the shopworn tropes of coming-of-age story or black comedy or romance or mystery thriller, but, well, ambivalence is self-propagating." |
Jonathan Kiefer |
Tomato 4/5 |
ATL (2006) |
"Director Chris Robinson maintains a light touch, giving the colorful, energetic skating scenes the benefit of his music-video roots, but he doesn’t neglect character, drawing sincere performances from his young cast." |
