[movie review]      Slant Magazine            Across the Universe (2007)      "A baby-boomer masturbatory center" [movie review]      CinePassion            Act of Violence (1948)      "Fred Zinnemann's best movie" [movie review]      CinePassion            An Actor's Revenge (1963)      "There's a visual slash every minute" [movie review]      CinePassion            Adoration (2009)      "Moody, gliding filmmaking and ripples of quizzical humor save it from being a lugubrious game of therapeutic musical chairs." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Adventureland (2009)      "Observant, soulful, often achingly attuned to clashing emotions" [movie review]      CinePassion            An Affair to Remember (1957)      "An Affair to Remember and a movie to treasure." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      An Affair to Remember (1957)      "Often regarded (or dreaded) as the ultimate chick flick, due in no small amount to its fetish-object role in Sleepless in Seattle, An Affair to Remember deserves better than to be the receptor of Meg Ryan's crocodile tears." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Alexandra (2008)      "Eccentric and tender, it is a picture out for grace rather than polemics, and it finds enough to make one see emotional intimacy anew" [movie review]      CinePassion            Alexandria... Why? (1978)      "Chahine's Alexandria is as fervidly distinctive as Fellini's Rome" [movie review]      CinePassion            Alibi (1929)      "An alternately arresting and creaky curio for students of the gangster genre." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Alibi (1929)      "Alibi is awkwardly suspended between the gliding camera of silent cinema and the stagnant medium-shot of early talkies." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Alice, Sweet Alice (1977)      "Every composition is more ornate than at first expected" [movie review]      CinePassion            All The King's Men (2006)      "Static and dreary, drained of juice and drenched in "respectable" lighting" [movie review]      CinePassion            Allegro Non Troppo (1979)      "Bozzetto's satire serves both Darwin and Genesis." [movie review]      CinePassion            Amelia (2009)      "Smotheringly conventional" [movie review]      CinePassion            American Dreamz (2006)      "The pieces are all in place for a slashing Preston Sturges jamboree. All that's missing are balls" [movie review]      CinePassion            American Gangster (2007)      "Flattened by Scott's cardboard evocation of New York in the '70s, Zaillian's shallow criticism of corrupting power, and weirdly bloodless performances" [movie review]      CinePassion            The American Soldier (1970)      "The phantoms of Old Germany are everywhere" [movie review]      CinePassion       1.5/4      American Teen (2008)      "Documentary focus is something that, like car keys, should not be given unquestioningly to high schoolers." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Amityville Horror (1979)      "An astonishing number of fumbled frissons" [movie review]      CinePassion            An Education (2009)      "The old "stay in school" adage has rarely been trotted out to such cop-out effect" [movie review]      CinePassion            And Then There Were None (1945)      "A tightly self-winding contraption" [movie review]      CinePassion            Android (1982)      "Erudite, low-tech sci-fi" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Andromeda Strain (1971)      "Disquieting" [movie review]      CinePassion            Angel-A (2007)      "A better grubby guy/hot chick fable than Knocked Up, certainly much more honest about its male-fantasy status" [movie review]      CinePassion            Angels & Demons (2009)      "Glum adaptation" [movie review]      CinePassion            Annie Oakley (1935)      "George Stevens amply appreciates the showbiz synergy of performers and audiences in the carnival arena" [movie review]      CinePassion            Antichrist (2009)      "A hoot" [movie review]      CinePassion            Antonio Gaudi (1984)      "Teshigahara lets Gaudí's works speak for themselves, and what strange music they make." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Antonio Gaudi (1984)      "Had Lewis Carroll switched from jotting down his visions to carving them in stone, his works might have looked a lot like Antonio Gaudí's." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Apocalypto (2006)      "Nothing if not visceral" [movie review]      CinePassion       2/4      Appaloosa (2008)      "While he thankfully avoids the actor-filmmaker avenger fantasies of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Harris doesn't have the genre chops to fill Appaloosa's empty spaces." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Aquarium (2008)      "In The Aquarium, a fishbowl carved out of desert rock gives Yousry Nasrallah's film its title as well as its presiding image of urban malaise." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Art School Confidential (2006)      "Messy, squalidly funny" [movie review]      CinePassion            Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)      "A candy-colored fusion of Dahl, Dr. Seuss and the director's own mischeviousness" [movie review]      CinePassion            Artists and Models (1955)      "Nothing beats Jerry's face on TV, simultaneously the poster boy for pop culture and a warning sign of its fallout" [movie review]      CinePassion            As Tears Go By (1988)      "The pinwheeling, phosphorescent spirit is undiluted Wong Kar-wai" [movie review]      CinePassion       3.5/4      Ashes of Time Redux (1994)      "Wong heightens action tropes the way Sergio Leone found arias in western showdowns, though in his version of the Hong Kong martial-arts netherworld the mandatory melees play second fiddle to the characters' melancholic languor." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Ask the Dust (2005)      "Airless, joyless" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)      "Cinematic aerophagia" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Astronaut Farmer (2007)      "Self-fondling Americana" [movie review]      CinePassion            At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1963)      "The birth of Brazilian horror as a direct act of blasphemy" [movie review]      CinePassion            At the Circus (1939)      "Beguiling" [movie review]      CinePassion            Atom Age Vampire (1960)      "Wretched dubbing and chainsaw edits can't dim Anton Giulio Majano's assorted cinematic aperçus" [movie review]      CinePassion            Atonement (2007)      "Figurines in a teacup set, shipped over in boxes labeled 'For your consideration'" [movie review]      CinePassion            Australia (2008)      "Luhrmann just piles quotation mark on top of quotation mark" [movie review]      CinePassion
