A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"I was not completely caught up in the allegorical implications of the story; perhaps I was too much aware of the
director’s attempts to be profound too much of the time." |
John J. Puccio |
Tomato 8/10 |
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) |
"...the second-least-expensive film Universal made in 1948 and their second-biggest-grossing film of the year. They got their money's worth.

Aladdin (1992) |
"Williams makes 1992's Aladdin appealing for adults as well as for children and establishes the musical-adventure as a Disney classic." |
John J. Puccio |
Tomato 8/10 |
Aladdin (1992) |
"When you factor in Disney's attractive 2-D animation, the music, the colorful characters, and, of course, Robin Williams, Aladdin becomes a must-see cartoon." |
John J. Puccio |
Tomato 7/10 |
Ali (2001) |
"It was glitzy (performances, visuals), but lacked some substance (storytelling). The DVD is much the same way. It is glitzy (audio, video), but lacks substance (supplements)." |
Dean E. Winkelspecht |
Tomato 7/10 |
Alice in Wonderland (1985) |
