A	A Nous La Liberte (1931)	"If the notion of a 1931 semi-silent French movie doesn’t scare you off, this minor masterpiece might be worth checking out. Political historians and film fanatics will be especially interested."	Mark Robison



C	Abandon (2002)	"Nothing is more frustrating than a movie that banks on a twist ending that it telegraphs 30 minutes before climax."	Forrest Hartman



4/4	About a Boy (2002)	"The movie’s message is sweet and charming, but it’s presented so cynically it doesn’t seem saccharine. Unquestionably, it’s a breakthrough for directors Chris and Paul Weitz, whose first feature effort was American Pie."	Forrest Hartman



A	About a Boy (2002)	"I’ve seen a lot of single-disc DVD treatments, and this ranks among the best."	Forrest Hartman



3.5/4	About Schmidt (2002)	"This is the best type of comedy. In the theater, the material is worthy of gut-busting laughs, but reflection reveals the serious underbelly."	Forrest Hartman



3/5	Above the Law (1988)	"Seagal's best."	Mark Robison



1/5	Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)	"Among the stupidest of stupid comedies. Jim Carrey is typically manic, but shows none of the acting nuances on display in films like The Majestic."	Forrest Hartman



3.5/4	Adaptation (2002)	"The most bizarrely original film to hit theaters since Being John Malkovich, which not coincidentally was also directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman."	Forrest Hartman



A-	Adaptation (2002)	"A strange and fascinating movie."	Mark Robison



1/4	The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)	"It’s not only dull because we’ve seen [Eddie] Murphy do the genial-rogue shtick to death, but because the plot is equally hackneyed."	Forrest Hartman



5/5	The African Queen (1951)	"One of the best pictures of all time. Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn have remarkable chemistry, and the picture is a career highlight for each."	Forrest Hartman



C+	After the Sunset (2004)	"Folks who like these actors will probably have fun with the film. Just don’t go in with high expectations, as the script and direction are merely average."	Forrest Hartman



2/4	Against the Ropes (2003)	"It's one thing to make a predictable Hollywood movie. It's another thing to make a predictable Hollywood movie based on a fascinating life."	Forrest Hartman



1.5/4	Agent Cody Banks (2003)	"The premise and the casting are pure kids’ stuff, but Zwart and company have littered the film with enough adult images to merit a PG-13 rating."	Forrest Hartman



3/4	Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)	"While I prefer more even-handed approaches to documentary film, there’s no denying the power of the footage, particularly that featuring [Aileen] Wuornos. "	Forrest Hartman



3/4	Akeelah and the Bee (2006)	"Hollywood has finally realized academic competitions can be just as dramatic as athletics. "	Forrest Hartman



A	Aladdin (1992)	"Twelve years old and still charming."	Forrest Hartman



B	Alexander (2004)	"Interesting but flawed film about a fascinating character."	Forrest Hartman



C	Alfie (2004)	"It’s tough to warm to a guy who doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself, particularly when you’re supposed to be his closest confidante."	Forrest Hartman



3.5/4	Ali (2001)	"Michael Mann’s Muhammad Ali film is not only a terrific biography of one of the 20th century’s most important sports figures, it could well be the finest boxing movie ever made."	Forrest Hartman



A	Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974)	"A movie that's simple and honest. It plays universally and feels particularly relevent in 21st century America."	Mark Robison



A	All or Nothing (2002)	"Grim but really good."	Mark Robison



A	All the Real Girls (2003)	"“All the Real Girls” captures young love as well as any movie ever has."	Mark Robison



5/5	Amadeus (1984)	"Remarkable fictional account of Mozart's life. One of the best films of its decade."	Forrest Hartman



A	Amadeus - Director's Cut (2002)	"Approached with fresh eyes, Amadeus plays with the same grandeur as in 1984, and that’s a wonderful feeling."	Forrest Hartman



3/4	Amelie (2001)	"Amelie is filled with memorable characters brought to life by a terrific cast, and nobody is better than [Audrey] Tautou, the radiant beauty in the title role."	Forrest Hartman



2/4	American Dreamz (2006)	"Viewers are left with nearly two hours of dull, rather obvious gags."	Forrest Hartman



B-	The American Friend (1977)	"One of those movies that offers a nice viewing experience, but it definitely plays better when you’re watching than when you sit down for analysis."	Forrest Hartman



3.5/4	American Splendor (2003)	"Harvey [Pekar] may be an average guy, but he has the sort of cynical grace that sucks you in, whether you’re reading his work or watching the fantastic Paul Giamatti portray him on screen."	Forrest Hartman



A	American Splendor (2003)	"At first it seems gimmicky, but it's really rather brilliant."	Mark Robison



3/4	American Wedding (2003)	"As politically incorrect, rude and disgusting as it is, I just couldn’t help but laugh."	Forrest Hartman



4/5	An American Werewolf in London (1981)	"A strong black comedy that's still good 20-some years later."	Mark Robison



A+	Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003)	"A wondrous look at an artist and his work with lots of joyous surprises."	Mark Robison



B-	Angel - Season 2 (2000-2001)	"Hit and miss episodes with poor overall season story arc."	Mark Robison



A-	Angel - Season 3 (2001-2002)	"Nearly tops the best "Buffy" seasons."	Mark Robison



B+	Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)	"An archetype of 1930s and ’40s gangster films. The plotting and melodramatic storytelling are stilted by today’s standards, but classic movie lovers enjoy that. "	Forrest Hartman



B	Animatrix (2003)	"There is amazing artwork throughout, although many of the stories come up short."	Mark Robison



2.5/4	Annapolis (2006)	"Because the cast is interesting, Annapolis is watchable, but with so many better things in theaters it seems a waste to spend an hour and a half with such mediocrity."	Forrest Hartman



4/4	Antwone Fisher (2002)	"As an actor, Denzel Washington is excellent at fleshing out roles, and he shows the same ability behind the lens, fully developing his characters without allowing the pace to slow."	Forrest Hartman



B	Anything Else (2003)	"A return to form for Woody Allen."	Mark Robison



3.5/4	Art School Confidential (2006)	"[Director Terry] Zwigoff and [writer Daniel] Clowes take great joy in skewering the pretensions of the art world."	Forrest Hartman



2.5/4	Ask the Dust (2005)	"The characters are well drawn, but their relationships are not, making the viewing experience passive."	Forrest Hartman



3.5/4	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	"Eerie in the sense that it reveals an assassination plan peculiarly similar to the attacks carried out by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001."	Forrest Hartman



1.5/4	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	"A picture that has rented every fiber of its being."	Forrest Hartman



B+	Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)	"While the presentation of and extra features on Atlantis are extraordinary, the film itself is only slightly above average."	Forrest Hartman



A-	Auto Focus (2002)	"Even if you’ve never watched an episode of Hogan’s Heroes, Auto Focus is worth a spin in your DVD player."	Forrest Hartman



A	The Aviator (2004)	"A tremendous success."	Forrest Hartman
