AUTHOR
  
  
C
     A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "The film is neither too cold nor too sentimental for its own good, and its ambitions remain fitfully engaging while its promise goes mostly unachieved."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
A
     A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "Its greatest fans will treasure it, and its detractors might even be willing to reevaluate it someday. If that isn’t the mark of a great piece of art, I don’t know what is"       Jason Clark  
  
C-
     ABC Africa (2002)      "Better to just call it ABC Kiarostami. For AIDS and Africa are nothing more than part of the scenery."       Joe McGovern  
  
C
     About a Boy (2002)      "Like its lead character, About a Boy exists in a stale vacuum of time-killing routine."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B+
     About Adam (2001)      "A vigorous exploration of yearning that is as liberating as it is fulfilling."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B
     The Adventures of Felix (2001)      "I can’t even begin to imagine what a crude American director would choose to do with it, and don’t want to."       Jason Clark  
  
D
     The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)      "A dreadfully unfunny hybrid of recycled science fiction and Eddie Murphy mugging."       Nick Schager  
  
short
     The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)      "Roger Rabbit, what did we do to deserve this?"       Chuck Rudolph  
  
C+
     The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)      "A movie that is certainly light and earnest enough to recommend -- but those adjectives should say more than enough to keep the die-hard fans away."       Joe McGovern  
  
C
     The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1999)      "A ponderous, uneven portrait of disaffected youth."       Jason Clark  
  
D+
     The Affair of the Necklace (2001)      "A crass, often ridiculously misguided period drama that spells everything out in nice, big block letters so even a small child could comprehend it."       Jason Clark  
  
C-
     The Affair of the Necklace (2001)      "The movie borders on parody even before its utterly clueless script is taken into account."       Joe McGovern  
  
B-
     Affliction (1997)      "Chilly, despite some remarkable components"       Jason Clark  
  
A-
     After Life (1998)      Click here to see the review.       Joe McGovern  
  
short
     Agnes Browne (1999)      "A rare movie that inspires no reaction whatsoever."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B
     Agnes Browne (1999)      Click here to see the review.       Joe McGovern  
  
short
     Ali (2001)      "An intimate, personal film, not a lumbering, mass-market paperback distribution of dates and names."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
A-
     Ali (2001)      "The supreme accomplishment in Mann's career."       Jeremiah Kipp  
  
A+
     All About Eve (1950)      "It is, unquestionably, one of America¡¯s proudest moments, and before you line up for tickets to the new Adam Sandler vehicle, you may want to remind yourself of what movies used to be able to accomplish."       Jason Clark  
  
B
     All About My Mother (1999)      "With its emphasis on uniquely female relationships and conflicts, the film gives us a taste of the freshness for which we look to foreign film in the first place."       David Nemetz  
  
B
     All About My Mother (1999)      "Affecting, wonderfully acted, but oddly quaint drama"       Jason Clark  
  
A-
     All or Nothing (2002)      "The Southeast London working class housing estate of Mike Leigh's All or Nothing becomes a melting pot for issues that this most humanistic of directors has continually returned to over the years: parents, children, secrets, love, resentment..."       Jeremiah Kipp  
  
short
     All the Pretty Horses (2000)      "A film of infinite possibility that somehow got reduced to tangible mediocrity."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B
     All the Pretty Horses (2000)      "The movie's fighting spirit is still there as well as Thornton's noble intentions, and in this year of crassness, I'll take a noble intention over shady condescension anyday."       Jason Clark  
  
3/5
     Alligator (1980)      No article available.       Chuck Rudolph  
  
C
     Almost Famous (2000)      "A relentlessly shallow film that approaches its subject matter with all the subtlety and grace of a sitcom."       Joshua Vasquez  
  
C
     Along Came a Spider (2001)      "No worse than the average police thriller, a silly but inoffensively bromidic flick."       Joshua Vasquez  
        Amelie (2001)      "Amelie’s only major crime is how dull it can often be even while being so deliberately elaborate."       Jason Clark  
  
D+
     Amelie (2001)      "Meant to be postcard-perfect, it rings false."       Jeremiah Kipp  
  
C-
     America's Sweethearts (2001)      "A hypocritical purveyor of the same schlock nonsense it pretends to lampoon."       Chuck Rudolph  
        America's Sweethearts (2001)      "The fact that this movie contains some of the most annoying, mannered actors on film today and still remains painless is quite a feat."       Jason Clark  
  
C
     American Beauty (1999)      "It wants to be an original beauty so much that it doesn't realize just how plain and ordinary it really is."       Chuck Rudolph  
        American Beauty (1999)      "When all is said and done, doesn't really offer anything new."       Jason Clark  
  
B
     American Movie (1999)      "The hook of the film is that it presents the ragtag Borchardt, a cantankerous, often disagreeable sort with the kind of freshness missing from most documentaries."       Jason Clark  
  
B+
     American Movie (1999)      Click here to see the review.       Joe McGovern  
  
short
     American Pie (1999)      "Repulsive filmmaking that shows nothing but a nasty, clear contempt for its viewers."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B
     American Pie (1999)      "It may not always be easy to watch, but only because we know how true it really is."       David Nemetz  
  
D
     American Pie 2 (2001)      "The fact that every principal cast member managed to find the time to come back is a commentary both depressing and euphoric."       Joe McGovern  
  
C+
     American Pimp (1999)      Click here to see the review.       Jason Clark  
  
short
     American Psycho (2000)      "Decidedly out of date."       Chuck Rudolph  
  
B-
     American Psycho (2000)      "It is entertaining and often very funny, even when you hope that director Harron will next find a subject that is truly worthy of her considerable talents."       Jason Clark  
  
B-
     An American Rhapsody (2001)      "A heartfelt movie; honest and straight from the heart."       Jason Clark  
  
B+
     Amores Perros (2001)      "Directed with energy and ferocity by eye-opening newcomer Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu."       Jason Clark  
  
B+
     Amores Perros (2001)      "While frequently hard to watch due to the brutality of its subject matter, Amores Perros benefits nonetheless from its own rip-roaring chaos."       Joe McGovern  
        Analyze This (1998)      "This one does nicely for a fitfully funny rental."       Jason Clark  
  
D
     Angel Eyes (2001)      "After enduring about 30 minutes of this near-deadly romantic drama, you begin to wonder where the radiant star of Selena and Out of Sight has gone to."       Jason Clark  
  
D
     Angel Eyes (2001)      "More a merchandized product than an actual film, it trivializes everything it touches."       Joe McGovern  
  
C-
     Angela's Ashes (1999)      "A dreary, ultimately punishing adaptation of Frank McCourt's memoir, where every other scene has somebody either getting sick, puking or dying."       Jason Clark  
  
C+
     Angela's Ashes (1999)      Click here to see the review.       Joe McGovern  
  
B
     Animal Factory (2000)      "It confirms that Buscemi is a director that's here to stay."       Jason Clark
