C-
     A Scanner Darkly (2006)      "a trippy movie that doesn't make it easy for the audience to follow. The story is complex and confusing and theanimation keeps the viewer from entering the tale emotionally or intellectually."       Ted Murphy  
  
B
     Aberdeen (2001)      "Under the guiding hand of co-writer-director Hans Petter Moland, the leads offer beautifully realized performances."       Ted Murphy  
  
B+
     Adam & Steve (2006)      "Chester's script is a series of set pieces that all contain exaggerated characters for comic effect. There are numerous one-liners that hit the mark and the central relationship follows its ups and downs along the lines of a conventional romantic comedy w"       Ted Murphy  
  
C+
     Adrenaline Drive (1999)      "The film's humor arises mostly out of the flouting of Japanese social codes which admittedly don't necessarily translate to belly laughs for American audiences. Some of the supporting roles are played broadly and the seemingly indomitable bad guy is one o"       Ted Murphy  
  
B+
     An Affair of Love (2000)      "AN AFFAIR OF LOVE is that rare and much sought-after commodity, -- an adult love story presented with intelligence and craftsmanship."       Ted Murphy  
  
A-
     Affliction (1997)      "Schrader has skillfully turned Banks' novel into a compelling character study."       Ted Murphy  
  
B
     After The Wedding (2007)      "On its own terms and apart from the awards hoopla, AFTER THE WEDDING is a decent, if flawed feature that works mostly due to the efforts of its talented cast."       Ted Murphy  
  
B-
     All Over the Guy (2001)      "In my humble estimation, what several of my colleagues have missed is the almost groundbreaking manner in which this relationship is presented. There are no recriminations, and no one is struggling with the issue of "coming out." In fact, being gay"       Ted Murphy  
  
B
     Amazing Grace (2007)      "Apted directs with a firm hand and the film has been gorgeously shot by Remi Adefarasin. The large cast is generally good, with Gruffudd serving as the strong anchor."       Ted Murphy  
  
C+
     America's Sweethearts (2001)      "Joe Roth steps back into the director's chair after nearly a decade and AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS suffers the same diffused focus that his earlier efforts. After the tightly-paced opening, the film flounders until all the major players have been introduced."       Ted Murphy  
  
B
     American Outlaws (2001)      "Instead of treating it as a serious work of art, one should look at AMERICAN OUTLAWS as an old-fashioned B Western and one won't be disappointed."       Ted Murphy  
  
C+
     Angel-A (2007)      "While ultimately there's a repetitive quality to the film's dialogue (the couple appear to be having the same arguments), there's still something pleasant and enjoyable in the performances."       Ted Murphy  
  
C
     The Architect (2006)      "In my opinion, the film tries to cover too much ground. The plot strands don't exactly coalesce into a tight story. Perhaps that was [the director's] intent, but for me something was missing. The cast does yeoman work but I somehow couldn't exactly get ca"       Ted Murphy  
  
A-
     Army of Shadows (1969)      "ARMY OF SHADOWS is a remarkable and superb film, and American audiences should be rejoicing that is finally (if belatedly) has reached theaters."       Ted Murphy  
  
B
     Avenue Montaigne (2007)      "While AVENUE MONTAIGNE is something of a trifle (which makes it easy to understand why it did not garner an Oscar nomination when there were far more deserving features), it still is a pleasant and enjoyable movie."       Ted Murphy  
  
B+
     Away From Her (2007)      "Under Polley's polished direction, the actors deliver superlative performances."       Ted Murphy
