Tomato 3/4 |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"Sounds like a soap opera. But Danish director Susanne Bier builds a high-minded melodrama from this plot material." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"Often entertaining." |
Bill Stamets |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Allegro (2005) |
"[Director] Boe's technique has more flash than passion." |
Bill Stamets |
Splat 1.5/4 |
America: Freedom To Fascism (2006) |
"As if anticipating bad reviews, Russo ends his scattershot assault with a preemptive strike against the media: 'It's just the Federal Reserve System trying to save itself.' If you buy that line, then I'm the great-grandson of a 1913 conspirator." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 3/4 |
Angry Monk (2005) |
"This incisive film -- which opens with rare footage of angry monks throwing stones at Chinese troops -- nicely resists and complicates simpler views of the storied land." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Aura (2006) |
"Argentinian writer/ director Fabian Bielinksy (Nine Queens) creates a character with an intriguing set of traits that inspire an equally intriguing plot." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 3/4 |
Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
"Avenue Montaigne is a bon-bon for culture tourists." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"In a year when already we've been treated to a wonderful collection of animated films The Ant Bully is a delightful addition. It teaches us a lesson about acceptance without it cramming it down our throats." |
Bill Zwecker |
Splat 2/4 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"The movie doesn't aspire to be anything but a lightweight pastiche that rehashes your memories of other, better movies." |
Jim Emerson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Apocalypto (2006) |
"Filming in the state of Veracruz and on the Yucatan Peninsula, Gibson and his production team transport viewers six centuries back in time to create an amazing 'you are there' effect." |
Laura Emerick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"The movie's biggest surprise is Timberlake, who finds the heart and soul of the not-so-tough Frankie and makes him the film's most complete character." |
Miriam Di Nunzio |
Splat 1/4 |
Another Gay Sequel (2008) |
"Here is a film as bad as the recently released Disaster Movie. In a way, I guess this is progress; even gay filmmakers are now able to make very, very bad movies." |
Misha Davenport |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Away From Her isn't just a portrait of Alzheimer's. For a generation that doesn't have a lot of marital role models, it's also a lyrical portrait of what it means to stick with a person for the long run. There are no easy answers." |
Paige Wiser |
Splat 2/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the King's Men is miscast. The soundtrack is awful. The storyline is confusing. The cinematography is too slick and pretty, when we should be bathed in a sultry, sweaty, sticky, gritty atmosphere." |
Richard Roeper |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"One of the loopiest inspirational-dreamer movies you'll ever see. This is the kind of film where you're watching some strange madness transpiring and you're thinking, 'I'll bet this is a dream sequence' -- only it's not, it's just more cheery weirdness." |
Richard Roeper |
Tomato 3/4 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A movie both wonderful and maddening." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"The movie finally did not satisfy me, and so I cannot recommend it, but there is a lot to praise, beginning with Katie Holmes' performance." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Hugh Grant, who has a good line in charm, has never been more charming than in About a Boy." |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"That Jack Nicholson makes this man so watchable is a tribute not only to his craft, but to his legend." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Above the Law (1988) |
"It contains 50 percent more plot than it needs, but that allows it room to grow in areas not ordinarily covered in action thrillers." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
' Above the Rim (1994) |
"The movie lives easily on the streets where it is shot, and the performances -- especially by Martin, Shakur and Pinkins -- are convincing." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Absence of Malice (1981) |
"I not only liked this movie despite its factual and ethical problems -- I'm not even so sure they matter so much to most viewers." |
Roger Ebert |

Adam (2009) |
"Adam wraps up the story in too tidy a package, insisting on finding the upbeat in the murky, and missing the chance to be more thoughtful about this challenging situation." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Adam & Steve (2006) |
"There is an underlying story here, and some comic ideas, that in the hands of a better director (or more ruthless editor) could have become an entertaining romantic comedy." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"If there was ever a movie where the upbeat ending feels like a copout, this is the one." |

Adaptation (2002) |
"What a bewilderingly brilliant and entertaining movie this is." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
The Addams Family (1991) |
"There are a lot of little smiles in The Addams Family, and many chuckles and grins, but they don't add up to much." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Addams Family Values (1993) |
"Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston are given a lot of one-liners and payoff gags, of course, but what's funny is the stuff that comes in between -- the real affection with which they embrace each other, and the way they delight in their unspeakable lifestyle." |

Adoration (2009) |
"Why does Egoyan weave a tangled web? Because his characters are caught in it." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Director Greg Mottola, who made the rather wonderful Superbad, is back now with a sweeter story, more quietly funny, again about a hero who believes he may be a virgin outstaying his shelf life." |

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) |
"It's too bad that the requirements of plotting require movies like this to crank up the event count, when actually what works is just the daily minutiae of Bernadette's life." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) |
"In these cynical days when swashbucklers cannot be presented without an ironic subtext, this great 1938 film exists in an eternal summer of bravery and romance." |
