A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"Never quite blows your mind, man, visually or thematically, but ... it's surely a head-trip worth taking." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"Trying to cram 33 songs and a reductive 'greatest hits' approach to '60s politics into one movie is a tall order." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
1/4 |
|
Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"As Beatles tunes are turned into schmaltzy goo, you'll learn nothing about Vietnam, hate the Fab Four, and still have no clue what it means to be an eggman or a walrus." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
1/4 |
|
Aeon Flux (2005) |
|
"A high-octane, indisputably terrible piece of futuristic silliness." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2/5 |
|
The Air I Breathe (2007) |
|
"A perfectly awful example of a certain breed of American indie film that brings together a lot of familiar faces for an ensemble drama about...nothing." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
3/4 |
|
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
|
"A feel-good movie that will bring you back to the days when you were excited about learning." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/5 |
|
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
|
"Despite what the harsher R-rating recommends, it's not really advisable that anyone over the age of 17 see this movie." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/4 |
|
All The King's Men (2006) |
|
"Jude Law must be tired: His accent logs thousands of frequent flier miles going back and forth between Law's native Britain and his character's native South." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/4 |
|
Alpha Dog (2007) |
|
"There's truth in the movie's point that when you're born with protective gloves on, you might not notice when you're playing with fire." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/5 |
|
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
|
"Thank goodness Alvin and the gang are back so they can fart in Dave's face, say things like ''Sup playa?' and sing 'Don't Cha' in the shower." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/5 |
|
The Amateurs (2007) |
|
"It's just not much fun to watch first time director Michael Traeger aim for Capra-esque comedy and wind up closer to crap." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/4 |
|
American Dreamz (2006) |
|
"No legitimate characters or performances here, just impersonations of the easy target clods that grace the stage of 'American Idol' and White House press conferences." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
American Gangster (2007) |
|
"First-rate visually but otherwise shooting blanks." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/4 |
|
American Hardcore (2006) |
|
"A better doc about punk music would contextualize the genre in the industry and interview kids who cried 'No!' when their parents told them to turn down that racket." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Anamorph (2008) |
|
"This serial killer movie is nothing but a copycat." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/4 |
|
Annapolis (2006) |
|
"It's a bland campaign for discipline that seems to want you to salute before leaving the theater." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/4 |
|
The Ant Bully (2006) |
|
"Plenty of the script's stabs at humor bugged me, but The Ant Bully is at its best when showing how insignificant insect problems look to the human world above." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/4 |
|
Apocalypto (2006) |
|
"While Gibson certainly doesn't prove he's not crazy, he reminds us that he sure is an accomplished filmmaker." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2/4 |
|
Aquamarine (2006) |
|
"JoJo can't act-act, and the same goes for everyone else in Aquamarine who isn't a dolphin." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/4 |
|
Arctic Tale (2007) |
|
"Turns these animals' tales into triumphs of endurance and dynamite parenting, which does become difficult when you're low on food and weigh as much as a car." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3.5/4 |
|
Army of Shadows (1969) |
|
"A morally ambiguous look at the necessity, the perversity and, sometimes, the generosity of death during wartime." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5/4 |
|
Art School Confidential (2006) |
|
"Cynically presents a culture of weirdos who wouldn't know talent if it poked them in the eye with a paintbrush." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/4 |
|
Ask the Dust (2005) |
|
"A lush ode to optimism, opportunity and the American dream." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
4.5/5 |
|
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
|
"Breathes vibrant, murderous life into a Western that's a welcome change from the usual group of guys wandering across the desert." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/4 |
|
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
|
"Celebrates kids who see their parents as heroes, and parents who fight tooth and nail to live up to that image." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
0.5/5 |
|
Asylum (2007) |
|
"No amount of lowered expectations can disguise what a piece of junk [Asylum] is." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/4 |
|
ATL (2006) |
|
"ATL never suggests that it feels good to be a gangster, nor is it a preachy morality tale peppered with gunshots and prison cells." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3.5/5 |
|
Atonement (2007) |
|
"Fortunately there's more to the film than epic romance. This really is Briony's tale and -- as embodied by [Saoirse] Ronan, [Romola] Garai and Vanessa Redgrave -- she becomes a captivating screen character." | |
Geoff Berkshire | |
|
|
|
| |
3.5/5 |
|
Atonement (2007) |
|
"A sweeping epic in the non-annoying, non-boring kind of way." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
3/5 |
|
August Rush (2007) |
|
"Even though August Rush is sappy, it's the kind of sweetness that everyone needs once in awhile -- like a big, honkin' ice cream sundae." | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Awake (2007) |
|
"For what it's worth: The best Jessica Alba movie of the year!" | |
Matt Pais | |
|
|
|
| |
4/4 |
|
Away From Her (2007) |
|
"Will make even the coldest hearts believe in love." | |
