AUTHOR

FRESH B A Scanner Darkly (2006) "Would be significantly more wearisome...were it not for Linklater's ability to tap into his source material's atmosphere of unsettling paranoia." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C Absolute Power (1997) "Dunderheaded fantasy about noble thieves and corrupt commander-in-chiefs." Nick Schager

ROTTEN After the Sunset (2004) "Behind the curve." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C Afterschool (2008) "Once made ... Afterschool proceeds to regurgitate its thesis with all the grace of a lumberjack leveling a redwood." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C+ Agnes and His Brothers (2006) "Fitfully engaging but narratively messy." Nick Schager

FRESH B+ Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (1994) "A damning portrait of cold-hearted greed." Nick Schager

FRESH B+ Akira (1988) "A furious spectacle of lush colors and dynamic movement." Nick Schager

ROTTEN The Alamo (2004) "Laborious mush." Nick Schager

FRESH B+ Alice (1988) "Svankmajer's surrealist adaptation is a welcome antidote to the cute and cuddly Disneyfication of Carroll's iconic tale." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C Alien vs. Predator (2004) "Unsurprisingly mediocre." Nick Schager

FRESH B- All the King's Men (1949) "While [Crawford's] full-bodied performance still holds up nearly six decades later, the rest of Robert Rossen's Best Picture winner has lost a good deal of its fierce luster." Nick Schager

ROTTEN D+ Along Came Polly (2004) "Inane, inorganic and predictable from the start." Nick Schager

ROTTEN Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) "Deserves to be locked up in a dank, water-filled dungeon and left to molder." Nick Schager

FRESH B+ Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) "An absorbing portrait of a unique artist’s professional and personal communion with nature." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C Any Which Way You Can (1980) "Perhaps the most disposable film Eastwood has ever made." Nick Schager

FRESH B- Apocalypto (2006) "Overflowing with hackneyed but thrilling blockbuster-familiar moments, the majority of which, in another context, could have proven entirely comfortable in a mid-'80s Schwarzenegger vehicle" Nick Schager

ROTTEN D April Fool's Day (1986) "I’ve seen this film before…as an episode of The Golden Girls." Nick Schager

FRESH A- Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) "There's ultimately something exhilarating -- and, dare I say, liberating? -- about the film's chaotic avant-garde energy." Nick Schager

ROTTEN B- Art School Confidential (2006) "Fails to find a suitably funny or illuminating target at which to direct [its] mordant negativity." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C- Ask the Dust (2005) "Generates all the heat of a snow cone." Nick Schager

FRESH The Asphalt Jungle (1950) "A preeminent example of tough-guy cinema." Nick Schager

FRESH A- Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) "As formally compact and rigorously efficient as anything the genre filmmaker ever made." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C+ Atonement (2007) "A lushly shot, proficiently performed, and largely stultifying period piece that invites only mild, detached admiration." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C- Audrey Rose (1977) "A possession thriller...that replaces Christian claptrap for Hindi hokum." Nick Schager

ROTTEN C- Awake (2007) "Makes one want to assume a state of mind opposite to the film's title." Nick Schager
