Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1973) |
"It's a truly amazing movie, an epic made from genius, stubbornness, and madness." |

Air Force (1943) |
"All of director Howard Hawks' skills are on display in this exciting, crackerjack WWII film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Airplane! (1980) |
"The definition of 'deadpan' starts and ends with Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker's Airplane!." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
AKA (2002) |
"Roy has told an engaging, complex story with masks under its masks." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"A few silly quibbles aside, this is mainstream, family filmmaking at its finest." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Akira (1988) |
"Not necessarily the first nor the best anime, but certainly the one that introduced most Americans to the genre." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Aladdin (1992) |
"A satisfying little gem." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
The Alamo (1960) |
"John Wayne doesn't appear for the first twenty minutes of The Alamo, his 1960 directorial debut, and that's a bad sign." |

Alexander (2004) |
"It's like being in school, pinned down by a monotone teacher; most of the movie gives off an almost irresistible urge to nap." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Alexandra (2008) |
"Sokurov's excellent new Alexandra begins with an almost laughable scenario." |

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974) |
"Fassbinder made this one on the cheap between bigger projects and scored with a beautifully observed, and even oddly gentle tale." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Alias Betty (2002) |
"It says a lot about a filmmaker when he can be wacky without clobbering the audience over the head and still maintain a sense of urgency and suspense." |

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) |
"Coming just after Mean Streets and before Taxi Driver, it's as good as either of them." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Alice in Cartoonland (1925) |
"They're nowhere near Who Framed Roger Rabbit quality, but they're very clever in their own way." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Alice in Wonderland (1951) |
"Disney's animated musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic is enjoyable and contains a few twisted touches and slanted visuals." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Alien (1979) |
"The sheer starkness of the filmmaking, Scott's brutal, inventive use of light, space and sound, and the stripped-down storytelling make this a classic." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"[Its] potentially Hawksian theme is ruined by inept horror scenes, staged with exactly the same setup and timing as thousands of other horror films." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Alien: The Director's Cut (2003) |
"Alien is a triumph of style over substance, of lean over fat." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Alila (2004) |

Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
"One thing is for sure: This movie does not tell you a whole lot about Lily Chou-Chou." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
All About My Mother (1999) |
"A weepie movie with a brainy sensibility, an open heart, and a wicked sense of humor." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
All About Steve (2009) |
"Bullock sells her part of the film, and Church throws in some good, hearty laughs, but ultimately, this is just an "eh."" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
All My Loving (1968) |
"Both an exciting time capsule as well as a fascinating -- and almost timeless -- comment on the form itself." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
All or Nothing (2002) |
"Sure, it would be nice to see more of the droll humor like that of Life Is Sweet or the toxic energy of Naked, but All or Nothing contains not one misstep." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
All That Heaven Allows (1955) |
"'Time, if anything, will vindicate Douglas Sirk,' wrote Andrew Sarris in 1968. He was right." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

All the Real Girls (2003) |
"Green, who co-wrote the story with Schneider, allows the characters to say and do whatever feels real -- or failing that, whatever feels beautiful." |

"I laughed. I was bored. I couldn't believe my own eyes." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"It's no The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and its final section chucks freedom in favor of formula, but it has moments of genuinely kooky energy." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Amadeus (1984) |
"Most costume epics come complete with a deadly seriousness, a dreary self-importance that demands respect but doesn't earn any love. Amadeus turns that notion on its side and introduces fresh air back into the stuffiness." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Amarcord (1974) |
"What's so surprising about this film is just how loose and effortlessly enjoyable it is, despite all its ideas and images. It's one of the director's very best." |

Ambrose Bierce's Civil War Stories - Occurrence at Owl Creek / Parker Addison Philosopher (1962) |

Amen (2003) |
"It goes without saying that no one will disagree with the movie's politics, but the movie itself -- the artistry and storytelling -- are as flimsy and clumsy as you can get." |
