Tomato B-	La Strada (1954)	"Leaves me cold… no critical account of it I have read has struck me as compelling or illuminating."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C	Labyrinth (1986)	"Plays like The Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland crossed with a middling episode of "The Muppet Show" guest-starring David Bowie … suffers from a distinct lack of charm."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	Ladder 49 (2004)	"Heartfelt, predictable, and finally surprisingly poignant."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D	Lady in the Water (2006)	"I haven't come across a fairy-tale premise calling for such childlike wonder and acceptance since the taxation of trade routes was in dispute and the greedy Trade Federation set up a blockade around the planet Naboo."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	Lancelot of the Lake (1975)	"Cuts to the heart of the Arthurian tragedy… strips away the early grandeur of Camelot, leaving only the demoralized foundering in the wake of the failed Grail quest."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	"Manages to be — yes — sweet and sincere without ever tipping over either into saccharine schmaltz on the one hand or grossout territory on the other."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Lassie (2006)	"Knows that kids live in a grown-up world, that they are not isolated from such realities as unemployment or war, and can relate to the problems of adult characters as well as those of children and animals."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Lassie Come Home (1943)	"As Old Yeller is the classic story of a boy and his dog, Lassie Come Home is the classic story of a dog and her boy."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat F	The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)	"Cross a certain line, and message overwhelms medium, substance overwhelms style, what you have to say drowns out how you might be saying it."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)	"The genre of the caper-gone-wrong crime comedy may have been invented circa 1950 in Ealing Studios… Mob avoids most of what became the clichés of the genre."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Lawrence of Arabia (1962)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
-	Left Behind - The Movie (2001)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D+	The Legend of Zorro (2005)	"A 'funny family action film' in the Fantastic Four mold — that is, a movie whose key qualification as kid entertainment is that it isn't good enough for grown‑ups."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)	"If you prefer movie reviews about pleasant films in which children are not placed in excessive peril or disagreeable circumstances, you may wish to read some other review."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	The Leopard (1963)	"Lancaster [comes] through majestically, bringing formidable presence and melancholy to the role of a still-virile great man who sees the writing on the wall."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ/From the Manger to the Cross (1905)	"A remarkable relic from the very dawn of cinema… [Like] an icon's lack of naturalism… the very staginess and pageant-like nature have a timeless quality that encourages reflection on the gospel events themselves."	Steven D. Greydanus
-	The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ/From the Manger to the Cross (1905)	"Recently I watched a century-old film with my three older children… It’s like exposing them to another culture; it broadens their horizons, expands their imagination, enriches their inner world."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Life Is Beautiful (1998)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D	Life or Something Like It (2002)	"Lanie's professional success means she must be a failure at life, because she's driven by ambition and Doesn't Know How to Have Fun."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	Lilies of the Field (1963)	"Despite the divergence in faith and culture, a tolerant ecumenical respect characterizes the relationship between Smith and the sisters."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	Lilo & Stitch (2002)	"Sharply creative and surprisingly human… Like Stitch's spacecraft crashlanding on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Disney's Lilo & Stitch is a bolt from the blue."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Little Women (1933)	"Part comedy of manners, part morality tale, Little Women is more interested in its heroines "conquering themselves" than in a man conquering their hearts."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Longford (2006)	"Though thematically similar to Dead Man Walking, Longford grapples more directly and thoughtfully with religious themes, and doesn't glorify its eccentric, somewhat tragic protagonist."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C+	Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	The Lord of the Rings (1978)	"At its best, Bakshi's visualization of Tolkien's world can be startlingly effective… Tolkien fans will appreciate what Bakshi managed to get right."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)	" ‘Here are beauties that pierce like swords or burn like cold iron; here is a [film] that will break your heart.’ "	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	"It's hard to overstate the soaring achievement of Peter Jackson and company... this film, and this trilogy, is a gift to be treasured."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)	"From the bravura opening that stunningly recalls and continues a central sequence from The Fellowship of the Ring, we feel that we're in good hands. It's a promise the subsequent three hours deliver on imperfectly."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D	Luther (2003)	"Relentlessly hagiographical in its depiction of Luther… distorts Catholic theology and history, consistently skewing its portrayal to put Luther in the best possible light while making his opponents seem as unreasonable as possible."	Steven D. Greydanus
