A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"Dude, if your idea of fun is watching a group of drug-addled slackers rant and rave in graphic-novel-cum-cartoon, I've got just the movie for you ... To be graphic, A Scanner Darkly is one freaking bad trip." | |

The Agronomist (2004) |

Airplane! (1980) |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |

"Atchinson has a winning touch with his young cast, but he gets stung by the ethnic stereotyping and the one-dimensional portrayals by his adult leads." | |

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |

American Hardcore (2006) |

"For the record, Rachman's punk-rockology has its cracks. While he worships at the altar of Henry Rollins and Black Flag, he excludes such key West Coast bands as X and the Dead Kennedys." | |
