A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"It is not a great film, but an insidious one, the sort that gets under your skin. It leaves you scrabbling at aphids, hoping they really are in your imagination." | |
Robert Hanks | |

|
The Accidental Husband (2008) |
|
"A plot of insufferable silliness contrives to keep the lovers on tenterhooks and the audience in a permanent cringe, none of it helped by Thurman's thoroughly phony performance." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

"This is like watching a car-crash in slow motion." | |

The Aerial (2007) |
|
"The Tim Burtonish retro design and the blatant references to silent masterworks don't amount to a style; and even if they did, wouldn't make up for the kitsch story." | |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
|
"The film has an important, uplifting message; shame it couldn't be encased in a less faked-up story." | |

Alice in the Cities |
|
"The fragmentary approach could never be called exhilarating, but it has a sly humour, and the mood is sustained by Vogler and Rottlander as the unlikely companions." | |

Alice in the Cities |
|
"Hauntingly photographed by Robbie Müller, it's one of this hugely uneven filmmaker's crispest, finest moments." | |

All About Eve (1950) |

Allegro (2005) |
|
"A slight, pretentious Danish sci-fi romance, notable mainly for the former supermodel Helena Christensen's acting debut." | |

|
Alpha Dog (2007) |
|
"Nick Cassavetes' film combines an aimless ramble through juvenile depravity in the affluent suburbs of LA and a quite disturbing evocation of the true-life murder of an adolescent boy in 1999." | |
Anthony Quinn | |

American Gangster (2007) |
|
"Ridley Scott's American Gangster offers both belated history-lesson and demented hero-worship, and seems to be intended as a kind of gift to black America. One hopes that black America will have nothing to do with it." | |

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008) |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
|
"Oh, I do hope so. Why Ice Cube thought his wretched family outing Are We There Yet? deserved a sequel is baffling, since all it revealed was his complete ineptitude as a light comedian." | |

As You Like It (2006) |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
|
"Compared to Walter Hill's 1980 movie The Long Riders, also about the James gang, this feels an underpowered affair. Indeed, compared to Dominik's own previous movie, Chopper (2000), it is impossibly meek." | |

Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
|
"There is even a shot of lovers embracing against the backdrop of an illuminated Eiffel Tower. How corny can it get? More than is probably good for you, but it does have the unfeignable virtue of charm." | |
