Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Air Force (1943)

"Howard Hawks finds a perfect vehicle for his study of the male group. William Faulkner polished the dialogue, but as a silent it would still be tremendously exciting and evocative."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Airplane! (1980)

"The gags aren't exactly clever, but there are a lot of them, and the cutting finds a fast, effective tempo."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Akira (1988)

"Grade-school violence freaks may find a few kicks here, but even they may have trouble coping with this ugly movie's ending about eight separate times."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Al Capone (1997)

Aladdin (1992)

"The results are fun and fast moving, but far from sublime."

Alexander Nevsky (1938)

"Edouard Tisse's superb photography and Prokofiev's stirring score contribute to a rhythm that is well-nigh irresistible."

Dave Kehr

-

Alexander the Great (1956)

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Alexandra (2008)

"At least one critic has called this Sokurov's most political film, but on its deepest level it considers not a particular war but the complex feelings between mothers and the young men they send out into the world to kill or be killed."

J. R. Jones

Don Druker

Tomato

Alice (1988)

"Not necessarily for young kids, this is a surrealist version with a great deal of attention accorded to objects."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Alice Adams (1935)

"Stevens's talent for stepping away from the plotline and creating intimate, casual, and naturalistic moments is given plenty of opportunity here, as it would not be in his later superproductions."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)

"Not always successful, but packed with energy and a lively Oscar-winning performance by Burstyn."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Alice et Martin (1998)

"The sheer neurotic intensity of Techine's characters -- characteristically stretching both backward and forward in time, as in a Faulkner novel--holds one throughout, as does Techine's masterful direction and many of the other performances."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Dave Kehr

Splat

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

"What's really disappointing is the undistinguished animation: the film looks and plays more like the Disney shorts than the Disney features."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Alien (1979)

"An empty-headed horror movie with nothing to recommend it beyond the disco-inspired art direction and some handsome, if gimmicky, cinematography."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Alien Trespass (2009)

"Sinks under the weight of its homage."

Andrea Gronvall

Splat
0/4

Alien vs. Predator (2004)

"Expensive claptrap."

Cliff Doerksen

Tomato

Aliens (1986)

"One sequel that surpasses the original."

Dave Kehr

Splat
2/4

Aliens of the Deep (2005)

"Here we know only that Cameron and his bright-eyed young scientists (who take turns narrating) are heading to the deeper parts of the Atlantic and Pacific to observe the environment and life-forms down there."

Brian Thomas

Tomato

All About Eve (1950)

"The hoped-for tone of Restoration comedy never quite materializes, perhaps because Mankiewicz's cynicism is only skin-deep, but the film's tinny brilliance still pleases."

Dave Kehr

Splat

All About My Mother (1999)

"For me it felt like a good many weeks at a politically correct summer camp."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

All About Steve (2009)

"Packaged as a romantic comedy but devoid of comedy or romance, this baffling train wreck stars Sandra Bullock as a tediously kooky constructor of crossword puzzles for a Sacramento newspaper."

Cliff Doerksen

All I Desire (1953)

Don Druker

Tomato

All of Me (1984)

"Martin has become a superb physical comic, and Tomlin brings some unexpected warmth to a cruelly written part. A manic fuzziness takes over in the last reel and spoils some of the pleasure, but it's still a sympathetic effort."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

All of Me (1984)

"All in all, an unusually amiable and well-made comedy..."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

All of Them Witches (1995)

Tomato

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

"Deserves its reputation as a classic."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

All That Heaven Allows (1955)

"A masterpiece (1955) by one of the most inventive and recondite directors ever to work in Hollywood, Douglas Sirk."

Dave Kehr

Splat

All That Jazz (1979)

"Almost every scene is excruciating (and a few are appalling), yet the film stirs an obscene fascination with its rapid, speed-freak cutting and passionate psychological striptease."

Dave Kehr

Splat

All the King's Men (1949)

"Today, its realism seems bland, its moralizing forced."

Dave Kehr

Splat

All The King's Men (2006)

"The unfocused story is so bereft of any clear sense of period or location that the political melodrama sometimes seems to be taking place inside a cigar box."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato
3/5

All the Little Animals (1999)

"The adoption of 19th-century-melodrama conventions seems motivated mainly by a desire to tap into the emotional intensity they offer. I was enthralled by these tactics, but some viewers might gag."
