A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006) |
|
"As the puzzle interlocks, the composite truth is terrifying. A second horseman of social collapse is pounding towards us--peak oil." | |
Brian Gibson | |

About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Payne pokes fun of these people and these places because they're what he knows best. And, to my eye, he's also not above finding redeeming virtues in every last one of them." | |
Josef Braun | |

Acts Of Imagination (2006) |
|
"Suffers from dramatic black holes, but also from creaky dialogue and overly intense camerawork." | |
Brian Gibson | |
|
|
|

|
|
Adam's Apples (2007) |
|
"A film that asks us to have a pretty high tolerance of easy stereotypes and most of its comedy comes because you're not sure what else to do but laugh. When the ironic reversal kicks in, the film turns semi-serious and gets, if anything, a little boring." | |
Brian Gibson | |

Adaptation (2002) |
|
"Try as you might to scrutinize the ethics of Kaufman's approach, somehow it all comes together to create a very compelling, sensitive, intelligent and almost cohesive piece of film entertainment." | |
Josef Braun | |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |

An Affair of Love (2000) |
|
"wonderfully mature look at adult relationships" | |

Afro Samurai (2007) |
|
"The curious fusion of sex, tech and death mostly slathers into carnage, and the ending doesn't so much hint at the pointless cycle of vengeance as set up a sequel." | |
Brian Gibson | |
|
|
|

|
|
American Psycho 2 (2002) |
|
"One of the oddest and most inexplicable sequels in movie history." | |
Paul Matwychuk | |

|
The Amphibian Man (1961) |
|
"A simmering borscht of a Soviet scientific romance . . . Most intriguing are the film's choppy political undercurrents." | |
Brian Gibson | |
|
|
|

|
Analyze That (2002) |
|
"The stupid title alone reeks of an astonishing level of laziness on the part of the film's creative team." | |

Angel-A (2007) |
|
"Angela's Oprah-ish effort to change Andre's lying ways becomes a tedious mix of self-help and pop-philosophizing . . . the film's black-and-white look is two shades more complex than its gender politics." | |
Brian Gibson | |

Anger Management (2003) |
|
"This is a hackneyed, sprawling mess of a comedy, rarely funny and never interesting." | |
Brian Gibson | |
|
|
|

|
|
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
|
"Antwone Fisher certainly does the trick of making us care about its protagonist and celebrate his victories but, with few exceptions, it rarely stoops to cheap manipulation or corny conventions to do it." | |
Josef Braun | |
|

|
|
The Aristocrats (2005) |
|
"A venting of taboos and prejudices by white comics for white comics . . . should be subversive, anti-establishment and thought-provoking, but it’s half-witty and half-hearted." | |
Brian Gibson | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Audition (2001) |
|
"The Audition DVD includes a director's audio commentary for the final half-hour. You may as well turn the commentary on—you'll be clamping your eyes shut for most of it anyway." | |

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
|
"Myers never knows when to let a gag die; thus, we’re subjected to one mind-numbingly lengthy riff on poo and pee jokes after another." | |
Josef Braun | |

Azumi (2006) |
|
"What will slay you first--the often histrionic acting or the drag-out boredom of that hulking, two-hour-plus thing in the distance that faintly resembles a plot?" | |
