A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"For science fiction fans who prefer ideas over laser battles, this is the most meticulous and faithful movie adaptation of Dick's work -- and one of the most thoughtful." | |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"The structureless, meandering, slow-motion endlessness of Kubrick combined with the fuzzy, cuddly mindlessness of Spielberg." | |

Abandon (2002) |

About a Boy (2002) |

About Schmidt (2002) |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"As a piece of entertainment, there's no getting around the fact that the film rises or falls on the degree to which the clips from Wilson's productions grab the viewer's attention and the ideas they embody arrest the mind." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

"The movie succeeds on sheer catchiness, and [director] Taymor piles on enough visual extravaganza to conceal the fact that there isn't much of a story." | |

Adam & Steve (2006) |

"Plays as urban farce, but thanks to first-time director Chester's light touch and affectionally observant eye and ear, it's also a genuinely affecting love story." | |

Adam's Apples (2007) |

Adaptation (2002) |

"Gradually the movie's one joke plays out, and Charlie's doubts about inserting himself into his own screenplay prove to be well-founded." | |

Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |

"This clumsy, self-indulgent film veers from comedy to tragedy and is told in flashbacks, with treacly diary entries and unconvincing 'testimonies' from friends providing a window into the past." | |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
