Peter Brunette |
|
 |
About Adam (2001) |
"There's more than enough freshness of place and keenness of observation to justify this movie's existence." |
Robert Horton |
|
 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"...the long and winding road that is Julie Taymor's opulent, eye-filling, and disappointingly uninvolving musical extravaganza..." |
Jonathan F. Richards |
|
 |
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) |
"...probably the purest expression of Gilliam's Rococo imagination..." |
Mark Bourne |
|
 |
The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"If you have an Elmo fan in your life, Elmo In Grouchland is a must." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) |
"The year's one clear candidate for future cult status." |
Lucy Mohl |
|
 |
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"Just take it as seriously as the filmmakers did, and you'll do fine." |
Sean Means |
|
 |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"One of the more interesting themes of this movie is the question of which is more important to a cause, the man or the money." |
Jonathan F. Richards |
|
 |
Aimee & Jaguar (2000) |
"Its series of quiet but moving realizations of the utter ubiquity of the Nazi horror in every single aspect of life, even something as hidden as a sexual sub-culture, is powerful indeed." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
Alice Neel (2007) |
"If the artist is an elusive target, the art is as sharp as a razor blade. The portraits are extraordinary." |
Jonathan F. Richards |
|
 |
Alien 3 (1992) |
"May satisfy fans of the earlier films ... but it won't win any new converts." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"So campy that it almost plays like a sendup of the series. It is to 'Alien' what 'The Bride of Frankenstein' was to other 1930s Frankenstein movies, and it even shares some of the same themes." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"A lot of fun to watch, and easy to surrender to in the moment." |
Mary Brennan |
|
 |
Aliens (1986) |
""Absolutely smashing!"" |
John Hartl |
|
 |
All About My Mother (1999) |
"Nothing short of a triumph." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
All Over Me (1997) |
"Less successful at portraying indecision than it is at inducing boredom." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
All Over Me (1997) |
"Its blunt reprocessing of contemporary sacred cows in film realism ... rings false, the work of a user opting out of the imagination business." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"It's like a bus tour of McCarthy's West, with Thornton the tour guide quickly driving past every landmark before his lunch break." |
Sean Means |
|
 |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"A triumph of personal filmmaking ... because it exhibits the care and specificity of an artist working through his own mind, not through a committee's idea of what a movie should be." |
Robert Horton |
|
 |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"In a wondrous, often beautiful way, that kind of [complete] honesty is the point of Crowe's new film." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Potter doesn't resemble a Secret Service agent in any significant way, but so little in this movie rings true that it hardly matters." |
Robert Horton |
|
 |
American Beauty (1999) |
"Hilarious, slightly sick, and super-edgy." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
American Beauty (1999) |
"If it is never really as profound as it seems to think it is, American Beauty is consistently entertaining." |
Robert Horton |
|
 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"How much truth we get in the movie version is hard to say...nobody much cares if it's gospel, as long as it's riveting. Here, alas, it is not." |
Jonathan F. Richards |
|
 |
American History X (1998) |
"American History X pulls open the wound of American racism and peers inside!" |
Norman Green |
|
 |
American Pie (1999) |
"The actors are pure Hollywood, with every grin, spoken line, or sad face springing from acting classes and the closely studied performances of other actors." |
Ernest Hardy |
|
 |
American Pie (1999) |
"Any kind of conversation, such as the boys' gatherings at a diner, is beyond the powers of filmmaking brothers Paul and Chris Weitz." |
Robert Horton |
|
 |
American Pie (1999) |
"American Pie is a pretty despicable slice of high-school life." |
Sean Means |
|
 |
The American President (1995) |
"Painless fun." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
The American President (1995) |
"The American President becomes a pretty darn entertaining and affecting movie after its first simpering 20 minutes." |
Paula Nechak |
|
 |
The American President (1995) |
"The American President will make you laugh and make you smile. But it probably won't make you change your vote." |
Sean Means |
|
 |
The American President (1995) |
"When it comes right down to it, high office does not guarantee high comedy." |
Susan Rathke |
|
 |
The American President (1995) |
"You can't dislike this movie, but you won't be swept away by it either." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
American Psycho (2000) |
"Harron's adaptation of Ellis's novel is brilliant, probably better than the book itself." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
Amores Perros (2001) |
"Amores Perros (Love's a Bitch) is a great new film from Mexico that proves that somebody, somewhere, is still making upsetting, enthralling movies." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
Analyze This (1998) |
"As the movie plods on, the jokes start to fall flat." |
Sean Means |
|
 |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"It's just that kind of movie, perfect for a certain mood, for guilt-free wallowing in a star-crossed tale of romance." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"Familiar situations and trite dialogue give this movie the feel of something freeze-dried and reconstituted." |
Jonathan F. Richards |
|
3/10 |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"I'm sure the producers of Angela's Ashes meant well, but they got the wrong guy to direct it." |
Peter Brunette |
|
 |
The Animal (2001) |
"It's just not funny." |
Mary Brennan |
|
 |
Animal Factory (2000) |
"The bleakness and myriad cruelties of the prison system are telegraphed with a graceful touch." |
Ernest Hardy |
|
 |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"Tennant seems genuinely unsure what mood he's striving for here." |
Gemma Files |
|
 |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"Disappointing." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"This may be the best and healthiest date movie of the season." |
Tom Keogh |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"Anne Frank Remembered tells the audience very little about Anne, but the film speaks volumes concerning the problematic aspects of Holocaust representation." |
Carrie Gorringe |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"The interviews constitute the emotional backbone. The mere existence of these survivors is eloquent testimony to events so cruel they defy belief." |
Dominique Dibbell |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"Anne's story of courage in the face of horrendous circumstances is a fine legacy, and Anne Frank Remembered reaffirms how relevant her message is today." |
Gillian Gaar |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"Of all the movies and television productions that have told her story, this is the most valuable and satisfying." |
John Hartl |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"If this is not the best film about the Holocaust, it does strongly chronicle the sad fate of one of its most famous victims." |
Keith Simanton |
|
 |
Anne Frank Remembered (1995) |
"In retracing the short life and grotesque death of the century's best known diarist, Anna Frank, it has its own private dignity." |
Lyall Bush |
