Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"The events that unfold in the new documentary Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story could have been told as fiction, but they would have seemed too much -- too unbelievable, too merciless." | |

Alexander (2004) |
|
"Sluggish, unsmiling, and almost as limp as the feather fans with which our heroes are gently aerated on their trip to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon." | |
Anthony Lane | |

|
All The King's Men (2006) |
|
"The director can’t seem to find a natural rhythm for the movie -- it’s portentous and vague at the same time." | |

Amazing Grace (2007) |
|
"As square as this movie is, it has been made with eloquence and jaunty high spirits, and it tells a good story that is virtually unknown here." | |

American Dreamz (2006) |
|
"Any attempt to defend American Dreamz for its political venom, or for the surfeit of its surreal conceits, is doomed to founder on a single, obstructive fact: this picture ain’t funny." | |

American Gangster (2007) |
|
"It’s Super Fly -- which also had a drug-dealer hero -- without the cartoon cruddiness and the put-on violence and with an enormous increase of range and detail." | |

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
|
"The plot is impressively free of anything that does not smell of unpasteurized melodrama." | |

Apocalypto (2006) |
|
"[Gibson] has learned how to tell a tale, and to raise a pulse in the telling. You have to admire that basic gift, uncommon as it is in Hollywood these days, though equally you have to ask what obsessions goad it on." | |

The Aristocrats (2005) |
|
"Exudes cheerfulness and expansive joy." | |

Army of Shadows (1969) |
|
"[Those] with a weakness for dry heroism, dark-toned humor, and storytelling of pantherish pace and grace -- in short, lovers of cinema -- should reach for their fedoras, turn up the collars of their coats, and sneak to this picture through a mist of rain." | |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
|
"It is no mean feat to make a boring film about Jesse James, but Andrew Dominik has pulled it off in style." | |

Asylum (2005) |
|
"The premise of the tale is thus grounded in an experience of some grit, yet the result, onscreen, is a loose compound of the predictable and the implausible." | |

Atonement (2007) |
|
"I hardly believed a word of it." | |

The Aviator (2004) |
|
"Superbly demonstrates, with abundant humor and obvious sympathy, that this very odd bird once soared on golden wings." | |
David Denby | |

|
Away From Her (2007) |
|
"The movie, [Sarah] Polley’s feature début, is a small-scale triumph that could herald a great career." | |
