A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Too engaging, too ambitious and too bizarre to dismiss." |
|
Splat |
ABCD (2001) |
"Despite the compelling subject matter and storyline, the film's execution isn't so persuasive: The dialogue is weak, much of the acting poor and the pace sluggish." |
|
Splat |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"No matter how much insight we eventually gain into Tom and Kaisa one must ask exactly who would want to gain insight into these people." |
|
Tomato |
About a Boy (2002) |
"A knowing comedy with dramatic depth." |
|
Tomato |
About Adam (2001) |

Splat 2/5 |
The Addiction (1995) |
"Given all the talent involved, this should have been much more compelling." |

Tomato |
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) |
"A feast for the repressed senses of comic-book geeks the world around." |
|
Tomato |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"A film whose surface charm never gets in the way of its profound seriousness about living life to the fullest." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
"Possibly genius." |

Splat |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"The last time Murphy played a nightclub owner, we got Harlem Nights, which was actually better." |
|
Splat |
"An uneven, ultimately unsatisfying attempt to transfer the groundbreaking and boomer-beloved 60s TV exploits of Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose to the big screen." |
||
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"At least half is brilliant and inspired; frustratingly, the rest frequently lets it down" |
||
Tomato |
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"The Affair of the Necklace improves as it rolls along, owing much to its eminently appealing cast." |
|
After the Sunset (2004) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
Airheads (1994) |
"A bit of a mess, but one of Steve Buscemi's best performances before hitting the big time." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Airplane 2: The Sequel! (1982) |
"Contains possibly the best William Shatner performance ever committed to celluloid." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |

Ali (2001) |
"Ali lands a few solid blows, but, sadly, it's no knockout." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Alice et Martin (1998) |
"The movie is long, but doesn't feel that way, and despite a dearth of interesting visuals after the first 20 minutes, it makes for a welcome change of pace from Hollywood" |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Alien Nation (1988) |
"Fun gimmick cop movie with aliens" |
|
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |

Alien: The Director's Cut (2003) |

Tomato |
All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
"While this has the making of melodrama, the filmmaker cuts against this natural grain, producing a work that's more interested in asking questions than in answering them." |
|
Splat |
All About the Benjamins (2002) |
"Plays like a knockoff of Michael Bay's already derivative and much more fun Bad Boys, only with even less plot." |
|
Tomato |
All Over the Guy (2001) |
"It's better than the recent Hit and Runway, and not as good as Jeffrey, which still puts it in the top third." |
|
Splat |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"It all feels disorienting and truncated." |
|
Tomato |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"You don't just watch Almost Famous, you listen to it. You groove on it." |
|
Splat |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Not only is it tedious and insipid ... but its very existence hinges upon a plot point so ludicrous, unexpected and ill conceived the movie probably makes sense if you see only the last eight minutes." |
|
Tomato |
Amadeus (1984) |
"It reminds us of those rare occasions when an Oscar sweep is actually merited." |
|
Tomato |
Ambush (1999) |
"A beautifully shot and finely acted movie, thankfully slower in pace than the typical post-Private Ryan American war film." |
|
Tomato |
Amelie (2001) |
"If you're in the mood for a little sensory overload, some spirited intellectual gymnastics and an introduction to the most intriguing new actress Europe has produced in years, get in line with the rest of the thrill-seekers." |
|
America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"America's Heart & Soul could just as easily be called Stock Footage: The Movie." |
||
Splat |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"As romance, America's Sweethearts is as heartfelt as a sitcom; as Hollywood satire, it's as pointed as an issue of Mad." |
|
Tomato |
American Adobo (2002) |
"The film is reasonably entertaining, though it begins to drag two-thirds through, when the melodramatic aspects start to overtake the comedy." |
|
Splat |
The American Astronaut (2001) |
"Less engaging entertainment for us than perverse psychotherapy for writer-director-star Cory McAbee." |
|
Tomato |
American Chai (2002) |
"Though the climactic revelation and resolution is expected, the film is full of fresh and unexpected observations about the cross-culturally complex lives of second-generation Indians living in the U.S." |
|
Splat |
American Outlaws (2001) |
"Set in a parallel dimension wild west in which cowboys have full unfettered access to modern-day gymnasiums, hair care products and state-of-the-art dentistry." |
|
Tomato |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"American Pie 2, bless its dopey, trashy heart, is sweet, without venturing into the saccharine." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The American President (1995) |
"So-so fantasy about what a more courageous Bill Clinton might have been like." |
|
Tomato |
American Psycho (2000) |
"It's quite possible that American Psycho is a brilliant movie." |
|
Tomato |
An American Rhapsody (2001) |
"A tender and assured tale of bridging the gap within oneself." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
An American Tail (1986) |
