4/4 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"If A.I. is sometimes maddening in its circuitous approach to the subject, that is only because it is filled with big ambitions." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"Once I realized that Abandon was going down a different path, I really started to admire it." |

4/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Movies like this are why I became a film critic in the first place." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
4/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"Nicholson has intentionally de-Jacked himself to for
this film, and the result is a performance that ranks alongside any this
veteran actor has ever given." |
Mike McGranaghan |

Accepted (2006) |
"Think about it too much and the whole thing falls apart; sit back, relax, and don't analyze it and the movie is pretty darn entertaining." |

Adaptation (2002) |
"I have a feeling that as I see this picture a few more times - which I absolutely will - it is going to take its place among my favorite films of all time." |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"Despite the long shelf time and the staggering amount of money lost, this is not one of the all-time cinematic disasters." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2.5/4 |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Considering the fact that Sharkboy and Lavagirl is packed wall-to-wall with fantastic worlds of imagination, I’d rather have seen them in [full] color than in 3-D." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
1.5/4 |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"The movie should have been called Aeon Sucks." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2/4 |
After the Sunset (2004) |
"After the Sunset looks great and has good actors, but it generally fails at what it really wants to do." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"Somehow, after most of the other 2007 movies have faded from memory, I have a feeling that I will still remember the passion and commitment of the people I met in Air Guitar Nation." |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
"You name a level and Alex & Emma bombs on it. This is a physically painful movie to watch." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
1.5/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"I have a confession to make: I gave up on this movie. By the time the second hour was up, I realized that I was no longer paying attention." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
1.5/4 |
Alien vs. Predator (2004) |
"The film has many problems, but here's the biggest: It's rated PG-13 and it should have been rated R." |

0.5/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"The film looks like it was made for $1.05 with its murky cinematography, sloppy special effects, and cheap sets." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"As with a magic show, you know you are being fooled but you sit back and enjoy the illusion anyway." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"Along Came Polly is not the sharpest movie ever made about a mismatched couple, but it made me laugh consistently." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2.5/4 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"Nostalgia counts for something, I suppose, so while I wouldn't exactly recommend this thing, I at least found it kind of innocuous." |

2/4 |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"As a romantic comedy, America's Sweethearts is atrocious. As a skewering of Hollywood ego, it's actually quite funny." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
0.5/4 |
An American Carol (2008) |
"Forget politics: An American Carol sucks simply because it's ridiculously, painfully unfunny." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"What's interesting about the movie is that, while it's only moderately funny, it's extremely amusing...It held my interest throughout." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
4/4 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"Ridley Scott carefully controls the tone so that we almost feel like a fly on the wall of an era in crime." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
American Mullet (2001) |
"This is a fun documentary, aiming only to provide insight into a haircut that has moved beyond fad into cultural permanence." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
8/10 |
American Pie (1999) |
"The no-holds-barred rowdiness of American Pie makes it worth seeing." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2.5/4 |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"Watching American Pie 2 is like going to a party where only half your friends have shown up." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
4/4 |
American Splendor (2003) |
"American Splendor is one of the best cinematic depictions of an artist and his work that I ever recall seeing." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"It takes the characters we have come to know and love and it plugs them into an original situation." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
1/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"The Amityville Horror throws one gruesome image after another at the audience, without the benefit of any context. It doesn't help that the acting is really bad." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2/4 |
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
"When the snakes do attack, there’s not much originality or surprise to their methods. No one gets spun up and down like a yo-yo, or puked back up." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
2/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"When all is said and done, Analyze That turns out to be the lamest, most unnecessary sequel since...well, since The Santa Clause 2, which came out last month." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3.5/4 |
Analyze This (1998) |
"An enormously appealing comedy." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"I think Anchorman has the potential to achieve Austin Powers-like status as a highly quotable movie." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3.5/4 |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"There aren't enough grown-up relationships on screen these days. Angel Eyes is refreshing in its refusal to stoop to easy cliches." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"Not a classic comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly one of the few Adam Sandler movies that sent me home feeling good as opposed to feeling…well, angry." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3.5/4 |
The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"The Anniversary Party is like watching a great exercise in social psychology - funny, surprising, fascinating. I couldn't take my eyes off it." |

The Ant Bully (2006) |
"There's quite a bit of inventiveness here, which I found myself getting caught up in, even though it was a foregone conclusion where the film was heading." |
Mike McGranaghan |
|
3/4 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"I found
myself getting choked up by the ending, which evokes the joy of knowing that
a lot of people love and care about you." |
