Around the Fire (1998, 107 min., R)

Simon (Sawa) has landed in strict rehab and he's barely out of high school. That's how Around the Fire opens, and it takes the rest of the movie for Simon to reflect back on his life ...

Around the World in 80 Days (2004, 125 min., PG)

Jackie Chan finally emerges as plausible English-language star in this international romp that's as light as a hot-air balloon.

The Arrival (1996, 109 min., PG-13)

Screenwriter Twohy (The Fugitive, Waterworld, Alien3) takes the directing helm in this above-average tale of alien invasion that's less concerned with the invasion itself and more worried about giving the junior Sheen a “departure role” (as ...

Art for Teachers of Children (1995, 82 min., NR)

For Jennifer Montgomery, there is no question that the personal is political. First-time director Montgomery calls her autobiographical film Art for Teachers of Children a “boarding school melodrama,” but the issues the film raises ripple far ...

The Art of Dying (2000, 102 min., R)

Slick and intermittently creepy, The Art of Dying is a sort of I Know What You Did in Spain Last Summer that borrows heavily from both American and Italian genre films, from its teenage protagonists who ...

The Art of Getting By (2011, 84 min., PG-13)

As coming-of-age dramas go, this one is flaccid and endlessly irksome.

The Art of the Steal (2010, 101 min., NR)

This documentary looks at the quandary faced in Philadelphia about moving the Barnes Foundation, home to a premier Postimpressionist collection.

The Art of War (2000, 117 min., R)

Wesley Snipes seems hell-bent on becoming one of the kings of the action film, with such recent films to his credit as Murder at 1600, U.S. Marshals, Blade, and now, The Art of War, in which ...

Art School Confidential (2006, 102 min., R)

This follow-up to Terry Zwigoff and Daniel Clowes’ transcendent Ghost World is too scattershot to be truly great, but their smarty-pants campus yarn is on fire with satire.

Artemisia (1997, 96 min., R)

Artemisia is an interesting meditation on the life of 17th-century painter Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the first women in the Western world to forge a successful career as a professional artist in a male-dominated field. Her ...

Arthur (2011, 110 min., PG-13)

The bubbles have gone out of Russell Brand's remake of the 30-year-old original.

Arthur and the Invisibles (2006, 94 min., PG)

Live-action/animation hybrid from Luc Besson features a host of hip vocal talent but little more.

Arthur Christmas (2011, 100 min., PG)

The folks at Aardman Animation, who gave us Wallace & Gromit, seve up an instant – and funny – holiday classic.

Arthur Newman (2013, 101 min., R)

Colin Firth and Emily Blunt star in this road picture about two people who try to escape their identities but fall in love and learn to accept their responsibilities.

Article Ninety-Nine (1992, 100 min., R)

Like Robert Altman's M*A*S*H, Article 99 aspires to be another anti-establishment film, rallying not against the Army itself, but instead the Veterans Administration, that sometimes shady mountain of bureaucracy, red tape, and steadfast inefficiency that purports ...

The Artist (2011, 100 min., PG-13)

It's a silent, black-and-white film for the 21st century, full of coy delights.

Arzak Rhapsody (2003, 70 min., NR)

Arzak Rhapsody is a gorgeous and easily digested slice of Gallic animé by Heavy Metal magazine creator Moebius. American premiere.

As Good as it Gets (1997, 138 min., PG-13)

Nicholson and Hunt both won Oscars for their respective roles as a rude and obsessive-compulsive writer and the waitress who grows to love him.

As Tears Go by (1988, 102 min., NR)

A stylish if formulaic addition to the seemingly endless onslaught of crime films that dominated the Hong Kong cinema of the late Eighties, As Tears Go By also marked the promising, if not entirely successful, debut ...

Ashes of Time (1994, 100 min., NR)

Easily the most ambitious picture of last year, this epic, action melodrama from director Wong Kar Wei (The Days of Being Wild) is so structurally complex in its unfolding of plot and characters, not to mention ...

Ashes of Time Redux (2008, 93 min., R)

Dreamlike, confounding, yet possessed of a stunningly complex sensual and narrative poetry, Wong Kar-Wai's Chinese film is absolutely gorgeous.

Asian Connection (1995, 110 min., NR)

If your culinary tastes run to wild boar cutlets served on polenta with green peppercorns and port wine sauce, you can definitely get that in Austin. But taken as a whole, this is still more of ...

Aspen Extreme (1993)

You've seen this fairy tale a hundred times before. Yearning to fulfill his dreams and follow his passion for skiing, little boy bluecollar (Gross) sets out in search of love and the meaning of life in ...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007, 160 min., R)

The Assassination of Jesse James may be the world’s first epic of misguided hero worship.

The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004, 95 min., R)

First-time director Niels Mueller tells "the mad story of a true man" in this tragic portrait of Sam Bicke, who tried to fly an airplane into the White House in 1974.

Assassins (1995, 105 min., R)

A surprisingly effective thriller, Assassins is much better than it needs to be, thanks mainly to a fast-paced script and two great supporting performances. Stallone, fresh from the not-as-bad-as-you've-heard, box-office flop Judge Dredd, takes on a ...

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005, 109 min., R)

This new version of John Carpenter's classic is superfluous in the extreme, and while it’s not technically a bad movie, per se, viewers unfamiliar with the film’s lineage will likely write it off as yet another midwinter also-ran, the sort of action film that never quite takes off and instead focuses on random gun battles and cheesy dialogue.

Assisted Living (2003, 78 min., NR)

Greenebaum's superstylized first feature attempts to mesh fiction with nonfiction while remaining a narrative, and it attempts to do it almost entirely in the confines of a nursing home, entirely in one day.

The Associate (1996, 114 min., PG-13)

Whoopi Goldberg's career machinations remain a mystery to me, and this new film from the director of Grumpy Old Men only heightens the terminal suspense: When will she pick a decent comedy script? Apparently Jumping Jack ...

Astro Boy (2009, 94 min., PG)

This American-bred Astro Boy remains true to the heart and soul of the Japanese original but lacks its raw animation and emotions.
