A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"If you're up for something as dark as the Brothers Grimm can truly be, A.I.'s a trip worth taking." | |

|
"[A] frank father-daughter drama." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
About Adam (2001) |
|
"About Adam is simply a pleasant diversion rather the paean to crazy-in-love classics it would so like to be." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
|
"Optimistically explores how vastly different people can come together, and how any journey is more about what happens along the way than simply getting from one place to another." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |

 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
All Over the Guy (2001) |
|

Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
|
"It's as if Thornton and scripter Ted Tally are so concerned with big themes and Old West mythology that they forget they've got to present a real live cowboy in order for any of it to work." | |
Lawrence Terenzi | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Almost Famous (2000) |
|
"Story threads weave tightly together without effort or artifice, and line after line of dialogue is naturalistic, clever, or perfectly timed." | |
Cody Clark | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
|
"On some level, nearly every thriller asks viewers to suspend their disbelief. Along Came a Spider expects you to kick yours in the nuts, break both its legs, and not make hospital visits. You can't even send flowers." | |
Cody Clark | |
 |
 |
 |

|
|
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
|
"It's dull, two-dimensional, and totally toothless." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|

|
"One of the edgiest movies of the year." | |
Richard T. Jameson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American History X (1998) |
|
"A compelling, if somewhat choppy, tragic drama!" | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American Outlaws (2001) |
|
"It takes a special kind of stinker to turn an up-and-comer with the wily presence of a young Steve McQueen into a tousle-haired action figure." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American Pie (1999) |
|
"Most of American Pie just isn't smart or clever enough." | |
Jeffrey Wells | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American Pie (1999) |
|
"Irresistibly raunchy!" | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American Pie 2 (2001) |
|
"What was passably cute the first time seems much more puerile and shrill here." | |
Cody Clark | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
American Psycho (2000) |
|
"The film's details are spot-on, its tone ludicrously ironic." | |
Michael Atkinson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
An American Rhapsody (2001) |
|
"Its emotional sweep is ultimately undercut by murky characterizations and generic plotting." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Amores Perros (2001) |
|
"Though unflinching in its savagery, Amores Perros is always compulsive viewing." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Analyze This (1998) |
|
"A killer comedy!" | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |

|
"An emotionally honest effort." | |
Michael Atkinson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
|
"If Parker had aimed more at capturing the author's unique voice, and worried less about getting the details right, his movie might have been extraordinary." | |
Cody Clark | |

 |
| |
|
|
The Animal (2001) |
|
"Frequently it becomes boring." | |
Cody Clark | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Anna and the King (1999) |
|
"What it really lacks is dramatic juice." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Anniversary Party (2001) |
|
"The movie's loaded with funny scenes that mix and match its players to good effect." | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
10/100 |
|
Antitrust (2001) |
|
"Scripted with a subtlety befitting Tinkertoys, directed in a manner that would shame the small-screen union hacks who rap out Xena: Warrior Princess, and acted with the sleepy glumness of a therapy session." | |
Michael Atkinson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Antz (1998) |
|
"The computer animation is first rate and filled with the kind of "Wow! Look at that!" wizardry that is eventually going to make Toy Story look about as technically sophisticated as South Park." | |
Naomi Ryerson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Any Given Sunday (1999) |

Kevin Maynard | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) |
|
"The wealth of pure stuff here, as well as its new proximity to sociopolitical reality, makes Apocalypse Now Redux the best movie of the summer by far." | |
Michael Atkinson | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Apt Pupil (1998) |
|
"Flat, undistinguished workmanship!" | |
Michael Atkinson | |

|
"A crisp, suspenseful thriller!" | |
Kevin Maynard | |
 |

|
The Art of War (2000) |

 |
 |
 |
| |

 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Autumn in New York (2000) |
|
"A diaphanous daydream of clichés, predictable developments, strained romance, and frequently embarrassing dialogue." | |
Michael Atkinson | |
 |
