Ali (2001) |
"[The director] picks scenes of little interest and lets them drag on and on, long past the time the audience has already gone to sleep for the count." |

Splat 2/4 |
Alias Betty (2002) |
"Like a three-ring circus, there are side stories aplenty -- none of them memorable." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 5/10 |
Alice et Martin (1998) |
"A combination mystery and character study in which the more we learn, the less we care." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 4/4 |
Alien (1979) |
"One of the finest examples of the scary sci-fi genre, with its sequel, Aliens, being the absolute best." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1/4 |
Alien 3 (1992) |
"Reeks with despair and hopelessness." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"Being sometimes grotesque but never scary, the movie gives up and decides, correctly, that it can be a very funny space comedy." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Alien Trespass (2009) |
"While it never rises to the level of Galaxy Quest, my gold standard for funny sci-fi films, Alien Trespass consistently delights and amuses." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"Who wins? Who cares in the slow and silly AvP?" |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
All About My Mother (1999) |
"After a while, I just got tired of all of the overly cute twists and turns in the plot. Some of the acting is good, but that's about it." |

All About the Benjamins (2002) |

All the Real Girls (2003) |
"A handsomely photographed movie of little consequence." |

Tomato 3/4 |
All You Need (2001) |
"The picture manages to pack much more of an emotional wallop that you initially suspect." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"The music is great, the concert footage is energetic and John Toll's cinematography is luscious. A completely entertaining film." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat .5/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"so far off the scale bad that the only possible reaction is to laugh at it -- and I do mean at it and not with it." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"From the gripping action sequence that opens the movie until the last twist, director Tamahori keeps the audience on the edge of their seats." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"When the laughs are long gone, the characters will stay with you, especially Polly. She's a real one of a kind whom you'll be glad you met." |

Alpha Dog (2007) |
"It's like an actor's workshop at a community college where the instructor keeps screaming "Emote! Emote!" to the students." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"The movie manages to charm us, solely because of the inherent cuteness of its CGI stars, the famous singing chipmunks." |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"A real crowd pleaser with laughs so big and often that you're going to miss some of the lines." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The American Astronaut (2001) |
"Camp is tricky. The very real problem in making a movie that's so bad that it's good is that you can easily overachieve and create a genuine stinker by mistake." |
Steve Rhodes |

American Beauty (1999) |

American Dreamz (2006) |
"So do you think the war on terror is one big joke? ... Even if you do, this is comedy that, for all its heavy-handed political satire, just isn't funny." |

American Hardcore (2006) |

American Outlaws (2001) |
"Starring a bunch of relatively indistinguishable young male leads and one token female, it is a formulaic film carefully designed to appeal to just the right demographics." |

American Pie (1999) |
"While never fully satisfactory at either, it is a comedy with some nice laughs, and a romance with some sweet moments." |

American Splendor (2003) |
"There's a lot to admire in the innovative cinematic construction of American Splendor but not much to like unless you're a fan of the autobiographical comics on which it is based." |
