Ladder 49 (2004)

"It's a hose-job of sentimentality and stereotyping. I give it 49 hankies."

Ladykillers (2004)

"A reach for artistic merit gets lost on the way to strained exaggeration."

Lakeview Terrace (2008)

"Such a hammer-on-anvil approach that it's clear LaBute and his writers place little trust in subtlety and damn near none in off-message complexity."

The Landlord (1970)

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

"Some romantic/sexual interplay is kept alive by hints and promises, always at arms length. We wouldn't want to gross out the prepubescent sub teenage audience, would we? These filmmakers know where boxoffice coin will be coming from."

Lars And The Real Girl (2007)

"Happily devoid of humor based on ridicule, it achieves almost excruciating concern and sympathy in an entirely stand-alone expression of romantic comedy."

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

"The sentimentality crowd will sup it up but my tougher-love wish was for these two to find better chances to explore their considerable talents."

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

"Whitaker's boundless performance demands attention and the safest bet in town at this pre-nomination time is that it will earn one."

The Last Mimzy (2007)

"O'Neil and Wryn convey the occult and the mysterious with greater depth than you'd expect them to possess at their respective ages of 13 and 7."

The Last Samurai (2003)

"Director Zwick has raised the effectiveness of combat scenes by tempering them with respectful homage to the sensitive side of Japan's unique history and culture."

Layer Cake (2005)

"Craig scores, but difficult accents plus uneven cutting are as deadly as the drug trade."

Le Petite Jerusalem (2006)

"Albou is adventurous in intermixing a young woman's coming-of-age with a search for secular belief but her story is a bit shy on drama."

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)

"Makes so many leaps of logic and doltish character choices, they strain an adult's ability to enjoy the tale and appreciate its source."

Let the Right One In (2008)

"A most original meal of magical horror and gothic fiction. I can't remember the last time I wanted a film to be longer."

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)

"One may argue with Eastwood's filmmaking strategies but the general just gravitates toward blazing new movie trails;it's in his genetic makeup as much as in his ammo belt."

Lila Says (2005)

"It's not so much that Giocante breaks new ground for candidness about sex, but that she does it with such dazzling and vital force."

Little Children (2006)

"Its dry-wit richness derives from every actor living up to the emotionally juicy opportunities furnished by the off-beat nature of the script and Field's wizardly direction."
