A Secret (2008) |
"The almost egregiously deliberate pace with which Miller has infused the production ultimately turns out to be far more problematic than one might initially have suspected..." |
David Nusair |
|
 2.5/4 |
A.Li.Ce (2004) |
"...manages to reel the viewer in early with its admittedly oddball premise." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"The film's final twist is admittedly quite effective, though it doesn't even remotely justify the interminable build-up leading into it." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"An admittedly stylish piece of work that's ultimately undone by an overly deliberate pace and increasingly confusing screenplay." |
David Nusair |
|
|
0/4 |
Abducted |
"...incredibly cheesy "thriller"..." |
David Nusair |
|
|

"...a fun, easy-going documentary..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Aberration (1997) |
"If...you rent [Aberration] expecting [a] suckfest, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Abominable (2006) |
"Thoroughly uneven yet undeniably entertaining..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
3/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"[Schmidt is] one of the most compelling characters to come around in a while (and Nicholson's performance is certainly up there
with his best)." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Absence of the Good (1999) |
"This is a story that could have been told in about 25 minutes but has excrutiatingly been stretched out to an hour and 45 minutes." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Acceptable Risk (2001) |
"...Acceptable Risk just doesn't work." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Sporadically entertaining but relentlessly lightweight..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
3/4 |
The Accused (1988) |

David Nusair |
|
|

The Acid House (1998) |
"If I could give
this movie a negative rating, I would." |
David Nusair |

David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Acts of Worship (2001) |
"...just not all that entertaining..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
3/4 |
Adam Had Four Sons (1941) |
"...the high sleaze quotient ensures that Adam Had Four Sons remains engrossing enough to warrant a recommendation." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"...ideal for Adam Sandler fans who were confused by Punch-Drunk Love." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"An odd, blacker-than-black comedy that's almost impossible to describe." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"...trying way too hard to be unique." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Adoration (2008) |
"...ultimately overcomes an almost disastrously plodding opening half hour to become a slight yet somewhat engaging piece of work." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"Though my expectations for the film were exceptionally low, it turns out that The Adventures of Pluto Nash is just diverting enough to recommend it." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Adventures of the American Rabbit (1985) |
"...[makes] even the most quickie straight-to-video Disney release look astounding by comparison." |
David Nusair |
|
|
.5/4 |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"A thoroughly awful and unusually incoherent piece of work." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Affliction (1997) |
"Despite some great performances, Affliction never really takes off." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
After Life (1998) |
"A potentially intriguing concept undone by flawed execution." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
After Midnight (1989) |
"...how can you go wrong with a flick that features the girl from Mr. Belvedere being mauled to death by crazy dogs?" |
David Nusair |
|
|
3/4 |
After the Hole (2001) |
"The last 45-minutes of The Hole are so entertaining, so creepy that it's easy to forget how lame the first hour is." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
After the Sunset (2004) |
"...a fluffy time-killer." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
The Age of Ignorance (2007) |
"...a staggeringly disappointing effort from a genuinely talented filmmaker." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
The Age of Innocence (1993) |
"[Age of Innocence] is a veritable feast for the eyes, but the story's about as entertaining as a fourth grade adaptation of a Neil Simon play." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"...essentially a mediocre rehash of various spy flicks." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"...content to exist as a movie that holds appeal only for small kids; parents of said kids will no doubt be scratching their eyes out somewhere around the film's midpoint." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
Air Buddies (2006) |
"...it's clear that small children will delight to the over-the-top antics of the various talking animals..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
Airborne (1999) |
"Airborne wants desperately to be a big-time action flick, but with a budget that was apparently lower than an
episode of V.I.P., it just doesn't work." |
David Nusair |
|
|
3/4 |
Airplane! (1980) |
"How can you go wrong with a film that features Leave it to Beaver's Barbara Billingsly as a jive-talking passenger?" |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"...a sporadically engaging drama." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Aladdin (1992) |
"...earns its status as a Disney classic..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996) |
"...distinctly underwhelming..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"...the movie is curiously flat, void of any emotional context." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"...it seems fairly clear that [Alexander's] life just isn't interesting enough to warrant an entire movie (particularly one that runs almost three hours)." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Alexander the Great (1956) |
"...even more ineffectual and dull than Oliver Stone's recent attempt." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Alfie (2004) |
"...Alfie - when you get right down to it - isn't a terribly likable character, something that certainly makes it difficult to actually care about his fate." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1.5/4 |
Ali G Indahouse: The Movie (2002) |
"...a cliched and somewhat tedious comedy..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
0/5 |
Alice (1990) |
"Supposedly whimsical fantasy by Woody Allen feels forced and underdeveloped. Great performances by Joe Mantegna and Mia Farrow are lost in Allen's bizarre dream world." |
David Nusair |
|
|
3.5/4 |
Alien (1979) |
"...Ridley Scott isn't interested in creating another slice-'em-and-dice-'em scary movie." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2.5/4 |
Alien Apocalypse (2005) |
"By the time the Spartacus-inspired finale rolls around, it's clear we're not meant to take any of this seriously..." |
David Nusair |
|
|
1/4 |
Alien Siege (2005) |
"...initially comes off as a low-budget yet basically entertaining science fiction tale that eventually (and quickly) wears out its welcome in a big way." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"While...the movie isn't good exactly, it's certainly not the trainwreck everybody's been expecting." |
David Nusair |
|
|
2/4 |
Alila (2004) |
"...Gitai has populated the story with one unlikable character after another, making it impossible for the viewer to connect with anything on screen." |
David Nusair |
