Ladder 49 (2004) |
"There’s no “high concept” at work here - just a heartfelt, meaningful examination of simple everyday heroism." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Have you ever been approached by someone who was really drunk, and they tell you some rambling, incoherent story? Well, that's what watching this movie is like." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"When the Coen brothers are capable of making brilliant stuff like Fargo, should they really be spending their time making pictures like The Ladykillers?" |

The Lair of the White Worm (1988) |
"One of the worst films I've ever seen." |

Tomato 3/4 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"Reeves and Bullock bring the right balance of emotions to their roles. They give The Lake House its humor, its drama, and its undeniable romantic spirit." |

Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Aside from the weak final act, this is a movie about black and white that refreshingly focuses on the gray." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"The great irony of the new big-screen Land of the Lost adaptation is that the filmmakers have spent a reported $100 million to make a movie that looks like it cost $1.95. And you know what? In a weird kind of way, I actually appreciate that ethic" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"Game sequels generally rely on better graphics and better interactive play. This movie sequel has more imagination and situations that draw you in more. Again, that seems appropriate." |

Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"Last Chance Harvey is nothing you haven't seen before. It's just done with older actors, a bit more poignancy, and a bit more class" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Last King powerfully explores the duality between congeniality and brutality." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Last Samurai (2003) |
"The Samurai ethic is explored in the kind of detail that kept me involved even when the plot hit some bumps." |

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |
"The mixture of gruesome revenge picture and self-satisfied message movie is deeply off-putting." |

Leatherheads (2008) |
"It wouldn't be at all accurate to say that I disliked Leatherheads; I simply found myself kind of stunned that all the good stuff didn't somehow add up to more." |

Legally Blonde (2001) |
"Your parents warned you not to judge a book by its cover for a reason. Dismissing Legally Blonde would mean missing one of the funniest comedies of the year." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |
"Legally Blonde 2: Red White and Blonde does what all good sequels should do: it sticks with the same formula, but adds fresh elements." |

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"Imagination and creativity pop from every single frame. The visual style is so vivid that we can easily become lost in this dark world of mystery and misery." |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) |
"Say what you will about the film but it’s not cookie cutter. It finds its own rhythm to march to. The Life Aquatic surprised me every few minutes." |

Like Mike (2002) |

Lilo & Stitch (2002) |
"This is the traditional Disney magic wrapped in a wonderfully original and imaginative new package." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"This is an unapologetically liberal film. Does it preach to the choir? Absolutely. My own left-leaning views being what they are, I liked it on those terms, even as I acknowledge that some complexity would have been nice." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Little Children (2006) |
"Little Children is neither a sitcom nor a melodrama. Instead, it feels like real life, inhabited by real people with real problems. If this story actually happened, this is exactly how it would go down." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"Like Garden State or Sideways,
the film uses comedy to find the content in the lives of its characters. Little Miss Sunshine is funny, touching, and unexpectedly inspiring.

The Longest Yard (2005) |
"This new version ignores the inherent edginess of the material. There’s a huge disconnect between the plot’s unassailable darkness and the lightness of the film’s tone." |
