A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"A Scanner Darkly doesn't quite live up to the promise of its opening sequence, but it's still an audacious offering during a season of brain-dead blockbusters." | |
Lou Lumenick | |

|
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"French director Benoit Jacquot is fascinated by American crime drama, but pays homage to the form by removing most of the drama and nearly all the crime." | |
Kyle Smith | |

|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"The combination of genres -- science fiction with fairy tale -- often triumphs but sometimes misfires." | |
Jonathan Foreman | |

|
| |
2.5/4 |
|
A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005) |
|
"How the feds inadver tently resurrected the performing career of stoner comic Tommy Chong by busting him is the ironic subtext of Josh Gilbert's one-sided documentary a/k/a Tommy Chong." | |
Lou Lumenick | |

Abandon (2002) |

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"Abduction uses interviews, vintage photos and re-creations to tell the sad story of love and hope in riveting, suspenseful style. So powerful is this film, it brought tears to my eyes." | |

Abouna (2004) |
|
"Suffers from largely rudderless direction, relying for any sense of profundity on the breathtaking beauty of Abraham Haile Biru's cinematography." | |

About Schmidt (2002) |

Accepted (2006) |
|
"A campus comedy that's as dull as bong water, Accepted is like the product of a community college filmmaking class, remedial division." | |

Acts of Worship (2001) |

|
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
|
"There are a handful of genuinely comical moments in Eight Crazy Nights, but the whole thing reeks of a super-indulgent, cobbled-together vanity trip by a star whose ego obviously leads him to believe he can put anything on screen." | |
Megan Turner | |
|
|
|
| |

|
Adam's Apples (2007) |
|
"I'm sure there's a decent black comedy in the material, but Adam's Apples, by Danish director Anders Thomas Jensen, isn't it." | |

Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |
|
"Not only is Adored amateurish and mawkish even by the standards of American 'gaysploitation' cinema, it's weirdly shy about showing nudity and sex." | |
Jonathan Foreman | |

Adrift in Manhattan (2007) |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |

Afraid of Everything (2004) |

After Innocence (2005) |

Against the Ropes (2003) |
|
"This lethargic, pseudo-feminist biopic is barely a notch above a bad TV movie, with one-dimensional characters, cliché-ridden dialogue and fight scenes that are badly choreographed and edited." | |

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |

Agnes and His Brothers (2006) |

Agni Varsha: The Fire and the Rain (2002) |

The Agronomist (2004) |

Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) |
