|
Abouna (2004) |
|
"With its use of nonprofessional actors and actual locations, this is neorealism via Chad. However, Abouna is more moving to describe than it is to watch." | |
Kent Turner | |

 |
| |
3.5/5 |
|
After the Life (2002) |
|
"The Trilogy’s narrative structure may be considered a gimmick, but it’s one that is thoroughly compelling... as all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3.25/5 |
|
Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) |
|
"This compassionate documentary should be of strong interest to viewers of the previous Wuornos film or the current Monster." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3/5 |
|
An Amazing Couple (2002) |
|
"...the fast-paced and unfolding plot will sustain interest." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
1.5/5 |
|
American Hardcore (2006) |
|
"For music that is loud, fast, angry, and in-your-face, the film's low-key tone and pace is more suitable for a PBS fund-raising drive." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
1/5 |
|
Anatomy of Hell (2004) |
|
"Not since Pia Zadora’s The Lonely Lady has a gardening tool been so violated." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
2.25/5 |
|
And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003) |
|
"Because the majority of scenes are drawn out and obviously improvised, this disjointed and rambling confection will have limited appeal to others." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Anything But Love (2003) |
|
"Without the bawdiness and irony of the Doris Day tribute Down With Love, Anything but Love will also bring to mind the comedies of Judy Holliday." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
'2.75/5' |
|
Apres Vous (2005) |
|
"Après Vous is light on its feet with an occasional kick." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3/5 |
|
Arctic Tale (2007) |
|
"On a flatulence scale of 1 to 10, it's an eight." | |
Kent Turner | |

3/5 |
|
Army of Shadows (1969) |
|
"Melville milks the tension for all its worth." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |

 |
| |
2/5 |
|
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
|
"With its Day-Glo colors and fast pace, this $80 million live action/animated film may be the first acid trip for kids." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3/5 |
|
Assisted Living (2005) |
|
"Assisted Living could be described as a small film, but it displays more thought and feeling than that moniker implies." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3/5 |
|
The Aura (2006) |
|
"The film's taciturn observer, played by Ricardo Darin (the strutting con man of Nine Queens), delivers perhaps the most inward performance of the year." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Avenue Montaigne (2007) |
|
"Director Danièle Thompson piles on enough pop culture references to please any Francophile in this love letter to Paris, so it wouldn't hurt to know Charles Aznavour from Gilbert Bécaud." | |
Kent Turner | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
3.5/5 |
|
The Awful Truth (1937) |
|
"The look of love [Grant] gives co-star Irene Dunne, captured not in a close-up but a medium-wide shot, could melt anyone." | |
Kent Turner | |
