American Pastime
Full of interesting characters and placed in a charged setting, but the preachy and obvious spin it takes is ultimately melodramatic and predictable.

It’s rare that a movie can inspire genuine awe but Cameron has succeeded in another landmark technical achievement.

Armageddon
It’s easy to be sucked in by all the glossy, nostalgic images that flash across the screen like some sort of psychological experiment, but like most of the director’s other films, most is forgettable shortly thereafter.
American Son
Several anti-war films have come along in the past couple of years calling out the war in Iraq. They’ve covered various conspiracies, big personalities and the front lines. But, perhaps, none have been as human as Neil Abramson’s American Son.
Adventureland
Adventureland finds much of its comedy in its often brutal honesty.
Angel of Mine
With its subject matter, it could have easily delved into the depths of a TV movie of the week filled with melodramatics and distant characterizations.
American Teen
American Teen presents itself as getting inside the lives of America’s current youth culture. But the very idea of individuality is lost because it doesn’t go deep enough into the lives of its subjects to fully convey the idea.
The Art of Travel
Part The Graduate, part Fitzcarraldo, The Art of Travel is a tribute to living on the road less traveled. Filmed entirely on location, it offers a more rounded portrayal of culture outside of the standard Hollywood clichés
The Aristocats
The Aristocats is largely an up-scale cat version of 101 Dalmatians minus the deliciously dastardly villain.
Arctic Tale
Capitalizing on the successes of both March of the Penguins and An Inconvenient Truth, the sappy Artic Tale is more akin to a commercial for a McDonald’s Happy Meal.
