Abandon (2002) |
|
"This is one of those movies that depends heavily on bonehead plot twists in which people behave inconsistently and idiotically." | |

About Adam (2001) |
|
"Adam's ability to go straight to the heart of each person's desire gives it a whimsical, almost magical tone that keeps it as light as a bubble." | |

Accepted (2006) |
|
"This movie doesn't have the intellectual heft to write its name correctly to get 200 points on its SATs, but the unpretentious good humor of its cast, brisk running time, a couple of funny lines, and the wish fulfillment fantasy give it some genial appeal" | |

|
Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"It is overlong and under-plotted, visually vibrant but thematically pale. The characters are more alive in the original Beatles songs than they are on the screen." | |

Against the Ropes (2003) |

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |

All the King's Men (1949) |
