Ace Ventura Jr. (2009) |

Ace Ventura Jr. (2009) |
" ...if you're a fan of the Jim Carrey Ventura films, you're probably not going to like this kids' version." |

Adoration (2009) |
"Everyone has the same serious tone about them, and in a strange way it makes this film seem less than 3-dimensional, right from the start." |
James Plath |
Splat 5/10 |
Adoration (2009) |
"A stylish film with a solid cast and equally solid acting. But it feels like an exercise film, the kind of filmic monologue one might produce for an assignment not unlike the story that the young hero concocts." |
James Plath |
Tomato 7/10 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Though it may not rock with quirkiness or roll with side-splitting humor, Adventureland still is a respectable slice-of-life film." |
James Plath |
Tomato 7/10 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Apart from that second-act sag and writing that isn't quite as crisp and clever as it could have been, Adventureland is a pleasing-enough film." |
James Plath |

Affinity (2008) |
"...not a bad movie, just a slow, gloomy, oddly disjointed one." |
John J. Puccio |
Splat 5/10 |
Affinity (2008) |
"...while it breaks no new ground as a thriller or a romance, it should appeal to viewers interested in a story of complex interpersonal relationships." |
John J. Puccio |
Splat 6/10 |
The American Mall (2008) |
"Still, it's as good as "High School Musical 2."" |
James Plath |

American Teen (2008) |
"...the movie, while admittedly touching at times, hardly scratches the surface of teenage life." |
John J. Puccio |

American Teen (2008) |
"...has its heart in the right place, but I don't think it breaks any new ground exploring the teen years." |

Amusement (2008) |
"...the segment with the dolls has its moments. Give the movie an extra point for that." |

Amusement (2008) |

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008) |
"...a lot of it is frivolous and predictable, yet there is also enough in it that's funny and appealing to make it a pleasant viewing experience probably for all ages." |
John J. Puccio |
Tomato 6/10 |
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008) |
"...aimed at early-teen girls, but it's got enough warmth and charisma to attract a wider audience." |

""Appaloosa" doesn´t re-invent the Western, and thank goodness for that." |

Appaloosa (2008) |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"What I walked away with was a swirling blend of images and music and a sense that I've just re-experienced the Sixties. And without drugs? That's saying something." |
