A LOT LIKE LOVE (Nigel Cole)
3/10
'It's funny (not the film)..... but a lot like love, looks a lot like clichéd cack'


THE ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND (Griffin Dunne)
2/10
'The concept behind this sham was actually fairly promising but the finished product is a complete waste of time; almost everything seems sloppy and second-rate'


THE ADVENTURES OF SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3-D (Robert Rodriguez)
2/10
'It looked nice but what the hell was going on, did Rodriguez's kid write the script?'


AEON FLUX (Karyn Kusama)
2/10
'Interesting concepts ruined by over-used CG and annoying sexy whisper acting; avoid'


THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (Martin Scorsese)
7/10
'Marvellous period piece that shows off Scorsese's directorial diversity'


AKRIA (Katsuhiro Otomo)
10/10
'Landmark anime that gave rise to a whole decade of sci-fi thought processing. No Akira, No Matrix; it's that important'


ALEXANDER (Oliver Stone)
7/10
'Misunderstood brilliance'


ALEXANDER [DIRECTOR'S CUT] (Oliver Stone)
8/10
'Misunderstood brilliance'


ALIEN AUTOPSY (Jonny Campbell)
3/10
'Not without laughs, but not enough to save TV's geordies from an ultimately stupid film'

ALIEN (Ridley Scott)
10/10
'Suspenseful SF classic'

ALIENS (James Cameron)
10/10
'Sublimely original reinvention of the series'

ALIEN 3 (David Fincher)
6/10
'A worthy effort from Fincher, if only the studio execs had left him to it'

ALIEN: RESURRECTION (Jean-Pierre Jeunet)
8/10
'Yet again, another interesting reinvention of the series from the hands of a great director'


ALIEN VS PREDATOR (Paul W.S. Anderson)
5/10
'Ridiculous and doesn't even compare to its predecessors but still worth a watch'

ALIEN VS PREDATOR II: REQUIEM (Colin Strause & Greg Strause)
2/10
'Utterly pointless'


ALONE IN THE DARK (Uwe Boll)
1/10
'A disgracefully laughable mess'


ALPHA DOG (Nick Cassavetes)
3/10
'Less resembles Blow and edges more toward John Q; this is an average tale of kids on the wrong side of the law, doing stupid things, with too many flaws to be greatly enjoyed, saved only by promising performances'


ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS (Tim Hill)
2/10
'Stupid, boring, annoying… pretty much everything I expected'


AMADEUS (Milos Forman)
10/10
'Triumphant cinematic gold'


AMERICAN BEAUTY (Sam Mendes)
9/10
'Thought provoking analysis of contemporary middle-aged frustrations'


AMERICAN DREAMZ (Paul Weitz)
3/10
'It was bound to be made with Pop/American Idol's popularity but it's far too tame, stereotypical and flag waving to be interesting or funny'


AMERICAN GANGSTER (Ridley Scott)
8/10
'I wouldn't say this film is as wondrous as its being heralded but it is still a fine example of Ridley Scott's genius'


AN AMERICAN HAUNTING (Courtney Solomon)
4/10
'A truly one-shock wonder. Repetitive and banal, to the last. Sometimes films are so bad that they become viewable, this is not the case here'


AMERICAN HISTORY X (Tony Kaye)
10/10
'Dark, poignant and utterly moving'


AMISTAD (Steven Spielberg)
7/10
'Much more than those that panned it would have you believe'


ANACONDAS: THE HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID (Dwight H. Little)
2/10
'Badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom; OH, IT'S A SNAKE! A SNAKE! OH, A SNAKE! Yep, that sums up my thoughts about this film'


ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES (Michael Curtiz)
10/10
'Cagney's best performance and quite possibly the greatest gangster movie, next to The Godfather'


ANGUS, THONGS & PERFECT SNOGGING (Gurinder Chadha)
6/10
'The narration and the ending didn't exactly work but other than that it was a lot better than I had originally predicted'


THE ANT BULLY (John A. Davis)
4/10
'Mundane and ultimately disposable, there are far too many plasticy looking CG films out now... it irritates me'


APOCALYPSE NOW (Francis Ford Coppola)
10/10
'As a Vietnam flick, pretty pants; as an adaptation, not too bad; and yet, possibly one of the greatest films ever made'


APOCALYPTO (Mel Gibson)
6/10
'A fascinating look at a dying Aztec world but may be far too gory for audiences to tolerate'


APOLLO 13 (Ron Howard)
8/10
'Gripping and intelligent'


AQUAMARINE (Elizabeth Allen)
2/10
'Desperately straying from sexual content at the same time as portraying sappy perfect teens ruins any hope the film has of being entertaining, just watch 1984's Splash'


ARE WE THERE YET? (Brian Levant)
2/10
'The man that brought us The Flintstones entertains us with another flaming pile of shite'


ARE WE DONE YET? (Steve Carr)
1/10
'Seriously, are we?'


ARMAGEDDON (Michael Bay)
6/10
'Nonsense but somehow enjoyable nevertheless'


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A.I. (Steven Spielberg)
5/10
'One big, expensive, colourful let down'


ASHES OF TIME REDUX (Kar Wai Wong)
7/10
'Probably Kar Wai Wong's best flick since 2046, showing off rich layers of style but audiences will no doubt be split'


THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD (Andrew Dominik)
9/10
'Classy, visually stunning and truly exceptional follow-up from the director of Chopper'


THE ASSASSINATION OF RICHARD NIXON (Niels Mueller)
8/10
'Provocative and absorbing'


ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (Jean-François Richet)
2/10
'WHY!? An atrocious remake of a classic 80's hit!'


ATONEMENT (Joe Wright)
10/10
'Sterling work; a truly moving and magnificent piece'


THE AVIATOR (Martin Scorsese)
9/10
'Excellence from Scorsese, surely worthy of that Directorial Oscar'


AWAKE (Joby Harold)
4/10
'Interesting concept but due to medical inaccuracies and a piss-poor script, the whole thing seems absurd'


AWESOME; I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT! (Adam Yauch)
6/10
'This unfortunately named yet innovative Beastie Boys documentary is going to be more for fans than anyone else, but still provides an interesting (if not highly stylised) take on the on-stage trio'
