Across the Universe (2007) |

The Alamo (2004) |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
|
"Alex & Emma is so flat -- so lifeless, so desultory in concept and execution -- that it practically retreats to one corner of the screen and takes a nap." | |

All the Pretty Horses (2000) |

"It has the truncated, jumpy feel of a sprawling epic novel shoehorned into a space far too small for it to comfortably breathe." | |
Donald Munro | |
|

|
| |
|
|
Almost Famous (2000) |

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |

American Pastime |

American Splendor (2003) |
|
"Wildly original, fiercely funny, refreshingly unsentimental and so loyal to its source material that it splashes the real Harvey Pekar with abandon across the screen." | |

Anything Else (2003) |
|
"If Allen feels compelled to continue with his time-honored bundle of tics, New Yorkerisms and sexual insecurities, at least he's trying to pass it on to another generation rather than carry the torch all the way to the nursing home." | |
