The Accidental Tourist (1988)

"Beautifully-acted comedy-drama that doesn't overdose on its quirks."

Adoration (2009)

"Cinephiles who thought Atom Egoyan went off the rails with the tawdry cheese of "Where The Truth Lies" will be happy to see "Adoration," which shows the Canadian filmmaker once again in fine, austere form."

After the Life (2002)

"If I had to recommend just one film out of the three, it would be this one."

Against All Odds (1984)

"A decent film noir, mostly because of Woods and Bridges."

Air Guitar Nation (2007)

""Air Guitar Nation" does deliver the goods, with some extremely funny scenes and some honest-to-goodness rocking concert footage. Although I fear that the existence of "Nation" has nudged us that much closer to a karaoke documentary."

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

"Atchison finds a very clever and moving way in the final scene to illustrate the film's "it takes a village" message. "

Aladdin (1992)

"One of those rare animated films that really is for all ages."

Alien 3 (1992)

"Flashy, flawed sequel that doesn't deliver the chills of the first or the thrills of the second"

All The King's Men (2006)

"The fact that it falls short of the greatness it so obviously strives for doesn't mean it isn't a good film."

Amadeus (1984)

"Terrific entertainment"

American Dreamz (2006)

"It has the sunny, deceptively breezy tone of something like "Dick," or maybe one of the great Michael Ritchie satires of the mid-1970s, like "Smile" or "The Candidate.""

American Gun (2006)

"What we're left with after watching "American Gun" isn't a sense of who's right or who's wrong, but more of a sadness that so many people feel so powerless and afraid that they think owning a gun will set things right. "

American Storytellers

"Really, when you want to learn about the ins and outs of cinema, who else would you turn to but the auteurs behind "Analyze That," "Wild Things" and "Hope Floats"?"

Analyze That (2002)

"“Analyze That” is one of those crass, contrived sequels that not only fails on its own, but makes you second-guess your affection for the original."

Animation Show - Volume 1 (2003)

"Judge and Hertzfeldt don’t seem to have any criteria in mind beyond selecting stuff they like."

Antwone Fisher (2002)

"Fisher’s story is worth telling, and the few clunky narrative tricks he employs in 'Antwone Fisher' don’t come close to diminishing that."

Army of Shadows (1969)

"One of the masterpieces of its era and its genre."

The Arrival (1996)

"The aliens-among-us plot gets a very entertaining and inventive update."

The Assignment (1997)

"Stylish spy flick with a surprisingly good cast."

Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)

""Attack of the Glad Bags" might be more accurate."

The Aura (2006)

"The flavor is a decidedly mournful one, unusual to find in a crime thriller, but adding layers of rich atmosphere and psychological depth to a familiar but nerve-wracking genre tale."

Auto Focus (2002)

"Watching “Auto Focus” is like watching a man drown while he smiles at you and insists he can breathe seawater."

Away From Her (2007)

""Away From Her" is one of the great love stories of recent movies, striking because it takes place near the end of a love affair's long journey, rather than at the beginning as so many romances do."
