A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

"While it does not coalesce perfectly, the movie does offer some disturbing images."

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1972)

"A wonderful horror outing for Vincent Price; a genre film with wit and style as well as goosebumps."

The Absent-Minded Professor (1961)

"Disney life-action for the simple-minded."

Adaptation (2002)

"And while the transfer of the film to DVD is superb, it is most disappointing that such a quirky and offbeat creation does not contain a commentary track from either director Spike Jonze or screenwriters Charlie or Donald Kaufman."

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939)

" The stories, set in their proper Victorian Age, provide ample evidence as to why Rathbone and Bruce became so associated with their roles. "

The African Queen (1951)

"Bogie and Hepburn, a dynamic duo! A love story, adventure story and comedy, all rolled into one rollicking and perilous river ride. You never get tired watching it."

Agent Cody Banks (2003)

"The youngsters will enjoy this action-adventure outing. It should make a fine DVD baby sitter."

The Alamo (1960)

" . . . The best part of this MGM Home Entertainment disc, is the documentary, “John Wayne’s The Alamo” . . ."

The Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955)

"A wonderful TV series highlighting Hitchcock's brand of black, dark humor."

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

"Extras include a recently discovered song by the Cheshire Cat, “I’m Odd,” that was cut from the film; . . . and other bonus material that will please the youngsters."

Alive (1992)

"An overlooked gem, made even more powerful by the fact that it is based on a factual incident."

All That Jazz (1979)

"Fosse at the top of his game; self-indulgent, but totally engrossing with Scheider doing a wicked impersonation of the director-choreographer."

Along Came Polly (2004)

" It’s not a bad movie, nor is it memorable. The feature just came along to fill some screen space. Stiller and Aniston have done better work -- and worse."

American Gangster (2007)

"American Gangster is as impersonal and clinical as a police report. It lacks fire, passion and the operatic bravura you would expect from the clash of these ... acting titans."

American Outlaws (2001)

American Teen (2008)

"Even as you watch, though, you begin to wonder how much is real life and how much of what you see was "staged" because the teens knew a camera was watching."

Amityville 2 - The Possession (1982)

"Should have torn down the house after the first movie."

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

"... The transfer from stage to screen is a disappointment; a musical elephant stomping around ... bellowing and trumpeting instead of making sublime music of the night. "

The Angry Red Planet (1959)

"Very bad special effects mar this only-average s-f excursion. Only the giant rat-bat-whatever creature has any flair."

Anna and the King of Siam (1946)

"Rex Harrison is sexy, Irene Dunne is prim, but the racism is evident."

Annie (1982)

"Huston's biggest misfire; ponderous and sluggish."

The Apartment (1960)

"A classic comedy, showing Billy Wilder at his cynical best."

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

"Not one of Capra's best. Grant is too hammy and out of control, and without Boris Karloff as Jonathan Brewster, the joke is lost."
