The Adventures of Juan Quin Quin (1967) |
|
"A Cuban comedy classic spinning a playfully couched tale of misfortune, exploitation and guerrilla uprising that might be termed revolutionary lite." | |

Almost Famous (2000) |
|
"Check out Hoffman's upstaging turn as the prophetic rock philosopher thoroughly disgusted by the music's fatal wrong turn from poetry into profit.." | |

Amen (2003) |

American Revolution 2 (1969) |

American Revolution 2 (1969) |
|
"Long before cell phones, laptops and i-Pods, there is striking memory of a time when undistracted humans actually listened to one another intently, and engaged in pure forms of mutual enlightenment and the illumination of political consciousness." | |

Amu (2005) |
|
"1984 may have a certain negative meaning to Westerners ever since Orwell immortalized that futuristic dystopia. But for India's Sikhs, 1984 has a far more dreaded historical significance, and one oddly buried here deep within their collective memory." | |

The Animal (2001) |

Antonia (2007) |
|
"A euphoric celebration of the rough road to womanhood and at the same time a biting critique of machista culture, Antonia is a brave, inspired antidote to current misogynistic Brazilian film fare." | |

Arctic Tale (2007) |

The Art of War (2000) |
|
"..straining believability factor is Snipes escaping certain death every ten minutes. If you just can't be killed, or even mildly maimed, where's the suspense?" | |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |

The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
|
"The film manages something quite remarkable, both a compassion for Bicke's wounded sense of life's betrayals, and stark revulsion for the personal logic of his bloody remedy." | |
