	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	"Linklater's low-key, meandering humanism is a bad match for Dick's obsessive, clammy suspicion. We never feel the desperation of these characters. They're merely painted figures on a screen -- shimmering somewhere far away. "	Sean Burns

	A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)	"Spielberg has never walked such a dangerous tightrope, never made a movie so fearless."	Sean Burns

	Across the Universe (2007)	"I saw a film today, oh boy."	Sean Burns

	Adaptation (2002)	"Playfully profound... and crazier than Michael Jackson on the top floor of a skyscraper nursery surrounded by open windows."	Sean Burns

	Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)	"In order to review a movie, the first step is to look at the screen, which is sadly something I could not bear to do throughout most of Sharkboy and Lavagirl."	Sean Burns

	After the Sunset (2004)	"Slack, ambitionless Elmore Leonard-lite. Brett Ratner has matured into one of the dullest young filmmakers working today."	Sean Burns

	The Agronomist (2004)	"Rousing, heartbreaking... and occasionally discombobulated. Still, the movie is aglow with its subject's clear-eyed optimism."	Sean Burns

	Alexander (2004)	"Alexander is Oliver's most stupidly awesome (and awesomely stupid) movie since The Doors."	Sean Burns

	Alfie (2004)	"This funnier, glossier Alfie is a mite too watered down. In the end, we're having so much fun we don't feel his soul-sickness. It's lightweight desolation. "	Sean Burns

	Ali (2001)	"A challenging, uncompromising film with the same hardheaded integrity as the man it profiles."	Sean Burns

	Alien 3 (1992)	"Fox's DVD restoration/mea culpa of Fincher's original edit is cause for celebration. The studio cut seemed glibly nihilistic --this time when she jumps, it means something."	Sean Burns

	Alien vs. Predator (2004)	"When not busy contradicting the lore we picked up in the previous pictures, Alien Vs. Predator is the world's murkiest, most incomprehensible video game."	Sean Burns

	All The King's Men (2006)	"Sometimes I wish they'd just cancel the Oscars, because then gaseous, lumbering elephants like All the King's Men would have no reason to exist."	Sean Burns

	All the Real Girls (2003)	"Girls is front-loaded with strange, offbeat non-sequitors subtly coloring in the lines of this community. Alas, the film shrinks as it goes along."	Sean Burns

	Along Came Polly (2004)	"Timid and predictable, yet almost worth seeing for two fantastic supporting performances (by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Alec Baldwin) that seem to have come from outer space."	Sean Burns

	American Gangster (2007)	"Even a stale old tune can sound great if it's covered properly..."	Sean Burns

	American Splendor (2003)	"But it's hard to shake the feeling that the movie is less than the sum of its parts. I called it 'brilliant' the day I saw it, and I haven't thought about it once since then."	Sean Burns

	Anything Else (2003)	"Unlike the wan doodles Woody's been cranking out for the past few years, this dark, often hilarious cacophony boasts a mile-wide ugly streak I found immensely satisfying."	Sean Burns

	Apocalypse Now Redux (2001)	"...a more user-friendly, politically correct Apocalypse Now with kinder, gentler characters, blabbermouth political diatribes, comic relief and mind-numbing repetition."	Sean Burns

	Apocalypto (2006)	"A work of searing, go-for-broke intensity... these relentless, lunatic ravings feel like what would happen if Werner Herzog directed Rambo IV. Mel Gibson might be a cretinous, bigoted drunkard, but he's a fascinating filmmaker."	Sean Burns

	The Aristocrats (2005)	"The movie is a scandal. It is an outrage. It is a joy."	Sean Burns

	Around the Bend (2004)	"...the kind of movie that gives sincerity a bad name."	Sean Burns

	Art School Confidential (2006)	"An admittedly amusing, completely miserable picture filled with too-easy yuks that make you feel cheap and dirty the second you're done chuckling. "	Sean Burns

	Ask the Dust (2005)	"Eventually, I was on the edge of my seat... wondering what kind of wrong choice Towne could possibly make next."	Sean Burns

	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	"The mosaic of moods conjures something that feels both ancient and startlingly contemporary -- with the same doom-laden DNA as great druggy, fatalistic 1970s anti-Westerns like McCabe & Mrs. Miller and Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid."	Sean Burns

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	"A case study devoid of empathy, it's Taxi Driver from Cybill Shepherd's point of view."	Sean Burns

	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	"...attempts to update John Carpenter's 1976 no-nonsense drive-in classic--primarily by adding an enormous amount of nonsense."	Sean Burns

B	Atonement (2007)	"It's impossible not to marvel at Wright's technical virtuosity."	Sean Burns

	Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)	"Every joke is repeated at least four times. Every joke is repeated at least four times. Every joke is repeated at least--annoying, isn't it?"	Sean Burns

	Auto Focus (2002)	"At times Auto Focus feels so distant you might as well be watching it through a telescope. Yet in its own aloof, unreachable way it's fascinating."	Sean Burns

	The Aviator (2004)	"Marty's most crowd-pleasing, well-behaved movie -- The Aviator is the first Scorsese picture that feels housebroken. "	Sean Burns

	Away From Her (2007)	"It's heartening that a movie so wise, patient and thoughtful can come from a filmmaker so young."	Sean Burns
