Robert Wilonsky | |
|
|

|
|
ABCD (2001) |
|
"Despite the compelling subject matter and storyline, the film's execution isn't so persuasive: The dialogue is weak, much of the acting poor and the pace sluggish." | |
Jean Oppenheimer | |

|
Aberdeen (2001) |
|
"No matter how much insight we eventually gain into Tom and Kaisa one must ask exactly who would want to gain insight into these people." | |

Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|

|
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) |

Gregory Weinkauf | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |

Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
|
"An uneven, ultimately unsatisfying attempt to transfer the groundbreaking and boomer-beloved 60s TV exploits of Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose to the big screen." | |
Andy Klein | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |

Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Aeon Flux (2005) |
|
"At least half is brilliant and inspired; frustratingly, the rest frequently lets it down" | |
Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |

|
|
After the Sunset (2004) |

|
Airheads (1994) |

|
| |
4/5 |
|
Alice et Martin (1998) |
|
"The movie is long, but doesn't feel that way, and despite a dearth of interesting visuals after the first 20 minutes, it makes for a welcome change of pace from Hollywood" | |
Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |

|
All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
|
"While this has the making of melodrama, the filmmaker cuts against this natural grain, producing a work that's more interested in asking questions than in answering them." | |
David Ehrenstein | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
All About the Benjamins (2002) |
|
"Plays like a knockoff of Michael Bay's already derivative and much more fun Bad Boys, only with even less plot." | |
Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
All Over the Guy (2001) |
|
"It's better than the recent Hit and Runway, and not as good as Jeffrey, which still puts it in the top third." | |
Andy Klein | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |

Robert Wilonsky | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
|
"Not only is it tedious and insipid ... but its very existence hinges upon a plot point so ludicrous, unexpected and ill conceived the movie probably makes sense if you see only the last eight minutes." | |
Robert Wilonsky | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Amadeus (1984) |
|
"It reminds us of those rare occasions when an Oscar sweep is actually merited." | |
Gregory Weinkauf | |

|
|
| |
|
|
Ambush (1999) |

Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Amelie (2001) |
|
"If you're in the mood for a little sensory overload, some spirited intellectual gymnastics and an introduction to the most intriguing new actress Europe has produced in years, get in line with the rest of the thrill-seekers." | |
Bill Gallo | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
America's Heart and Soul (2004) |

"America's Heart & Soul could just as easily be called Stock Footage: The Movie." | |
Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
|
"As romance, America's Sweethearts is as heartfelt as a sitcom; as Hollywood satire, it's as pointed as an issue of Mad." | |
Robert Wilonsky | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
American Adobo (2002) |
|
"The film is reasonably entertaining, though it begins to drag two-thirds through, when the melodramatic aspects start to overtake the comedy." | |
Andy Klein | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The American Astronaut (2001) |
|
"Less engaging entertainment for us than perverse psychotherapy for writer-director-star Cory McAbee." | |
Gregory Weinkauf | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
American Chai (2002) |
|
"Though the climactic revelation and resolution is expected, the film is full of fresh and unexpected observations about the cross-culturally complex lives of second-generation Indians living in the U.S." | |
David Ehrenstein | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
American Outlaws (2001) |
|
"Set in a parallel dimension wild west in which cowboys have full unfettered access to modern-day gymnasiums, hair care products and state-of-the-art dentistry." | |
Luke Y. Thompson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
American Pie 2 (2001) |

"Eddie Murphy’s infamous objection to the original story still stands: Why don’t these white people just leave the house when they figure out there’s a ghost in the house?
