A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"It's an identity crisis wrapped in a mystery and smothered in freakout sauce, and it's relentlessly interesting. The grooviest scenes are the ones where the characters are clearly impaired and riffing on their own inner alpha waves." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|

|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"Spielberg. Osment. Two excellent reasons to sit in a movie theatre." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

|
About a Boy (2002) |
|
"Hugh Grant fans will appreciate this new flavor of Hugh; he overcomes his supreme, unwitting selfishness beautifully." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

4/5 |
|
About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Takes a person's life, with normal, big, personal tragedies or stressors, and makes them feel as huge and unmanageable as they really are." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) |
|
"Jim before he found his voice..." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"Two thirds amazing, one third off-putting and boring psychedelia, but the amazing stuff generally wins out." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Adaptation (2002) |
|
"I loved it - I got on the phone to tell everyone to see it right when I left the theatre." | |

Addicted to Love (1997) |
|
"The movie is filled with really innovative shots and use of light, both in the actual making of the movie and within the plot." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
3/5 |
|
Aeon Flux (2005) |
|
"Aeon Flux is not a instant classic or a pants-wettingly exciting adaptation of a forgotten graphic novel, but it is also not a Catwomanesque career killer nor a wasted 93 minutes." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|

|
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
|
"It is a pleasant, but forgettable film, worth seeing for the tale itself and for Baker’s and Price’s performances." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

|
Air Force One (1997) |
|
"Non-action movie fans will enjoy it, patriots will enjoy it, and Harrison Ford fans will enjoy it" | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
4/5 |
|
The Alamo (2004) |
|
"Meets the challenge of telling a tale with a known unhappy ending and keeping dramatic tension; narratively, you'll wish you had the seven pound 8th grade Texas History book." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Alex and Emma (2003) |
|
"Seems to be a vanity vehicle for Kate Hudson. Think "Tracy Takes On," written by a big fan of Kate & Leopold who didn't want to seem too derivative." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
1.5 |
|
Alien Resurrection (1997) |
|
"I didn't realize until later how stupid the whole thing was. Chalk up one more for Sigourney's acting and chalk up one more reason to stop with sequels already." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
4/5 |
|
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
|
"As chock full of “oh jeez” moments as it is full of genuine enjoyment for fans. But if you are not a fan, the “oh jeez” moments will far outweigh the enjoyment.

Almost Famous (2000) |
|
"If you haven't seen it and you have the slightest interest in writing, 1970's rock music, or touching fame, go see it." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Along Came a Spider (2001) |
|
"If Alex Cross is so intuitive and brilliant, why is he making a movie like this? It hurts me to see Freeman reduced to this mess." | |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |

Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
American Dreamz (2006) |
|
"So much potential left unused...frustrating. I walked out of American Dreamz feeling good, but it was the kind of fluffy good that this movie should have been mocking, not emulating." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|

The American Gangster (1992) |

|
American Pie 2 (2001) |
|
"Is it the greatest thing since apple pie? Certainly not, but it lives up to its predecessor without ruining the gestalt of the original – or the films that inspired it." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|

|
American Psycho (2000) |
|
"If you are offended by purposeless terrible deeds and unrepentant evil, skip it. Otherwise, it's a great movie to chat about over a nice, fluffy dessert." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
5/5 |
|
American Splendor (2003) |
|
"It's a self-reflexive paean to a self-reflexive peon who happened to turn lemonade into lemons and rocked the indie comic world." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

4.5/5 |
|
American Wedding (2003) |
|
"It's fun, silly, it's a good time. Go, enjoy it for pete's sake; especially after all the crap that's come out this summer." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
4.5/5 |
|
American Zombie (2008) |
|
"Besides managing to be a statement on racism, a parody of a documentary, and an enjoyable character conflict between two egotistical directors, it's also a straight up zombie comedy! " | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|

|
Amistad (1997) |
|
"The whole historical untouchability of a Very Important Film & the incredibly dry nature of the facts was what made this production a lose-lose proposition for Spielberg." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
2.5/5 |
|
Analyze That (2002) |
|
"I'll be honest - most of the movie I was smiling, not busting a gut. Like the last film, my companions liked it better than I did." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Analyze This (1998) |

"Analyze This could have been a terrifically horrible movie. It also could have been really really funny. It was definitely neither." | |

|
Anastasia (1997) |
|
"[They] think all the world wants is an inane plot to justify the drawing of it,and that's enough. Kids have never been that stupid & they will never be." | |

Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
|
"Beautiful photographt contextualizes his ephemeral artwork; but shows us little of the "crazy like an OCD fox" stirrings that take him there." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Angela's Ashes (1999) |

Anger Management (2003) |

The Anniversary Party (2001) |
|
"They are regular people with regular friends who happen to do larger than life things for a living, yet all the people are so real, so interesting, and so well-written." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|

3/5 |
|
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
|
"Fisher has a powerful story to tell about the failure of the System to protect children & the subtly devastating consequences of instability & neglect." | |

|
Antz (1998) |
|
"The best thing about Antz, I'll say it right away, is Gene Hackman (General Mandible). Just for him, it's worth seeing Antz." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

|
Apt Pupil (1998) |
|
"It's a story that has taken 10 years to get to the screen at least, but what kept it from the screen for so long was lost when it was finally filmed." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

The Aristocrats (2005) |

"...Can only hear about scatological incest so many times before it's just noise...so when someone drops in a new random thing it's fabulous." | |

Armageddon (1998) |
|
"Do you ride rollercoasters for insight into your psyche? NO. Do you see Armageddon to be lambasted with great special effects, & incredible acts of derring-do? Yes, you do." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

Around the World in 80 Days (2004) |

The Art of War (2000) |

Karina Montgomery | |

|
| |
2/5 |
|
Art School Confidential (2006) |
|
"The true merit of the movie is the momentary pleasures of the dialogue and the performances, but the story itself leaves you wanting. So, is it art? Looks like it." | |
Karina Montgomery | |

As Good as It Gets (1997) |

|
At First Sight (1998) |
|
"It's OK. It should not be fiscally encouraged, however. It's the greatest sin of Hollywood - competent but forgettable filmmaking." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|

|
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) |
|
"Just the kind of movie Disney set out to make in the old days, sans songs - imagination-firing fantasy coupled with humorous characters, lush visuals and a tight screenplay." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|
|
|
| |
4.5/5 |
|
Atonement (2007) |
|
"As a technical achievement, it's one of the better films I have seen this year. The story is old-school overblown and yet it is played so sincerely you hardly notice its old-fashioned fire." | |
Karina Montgomery | |
|

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |
|
"For every brilliant moment (for example, casting Michael Caine as Austin's father), there are wads of blecch barring your finding it." | |
