T-METER
/
8.5/10
 
" As disturbing as it is compelling, Ridley Scott has outdone himself with his first modern-day political thriller, delivering his strongest movie since Black Hawk Down." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Body of Lies (2008)53%
/
7/10
 
" If nothing else, it's two hours of fun, unadulterated entertainment like the kind only Guy Ritchie can deliver ... requires a small amount of patience before its second half pay-off." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 8, 2008
 
RocknRolla (2008)57%
/
9/10
 
" Strange but wonderful ... up there with some of Leigh's best movies, driven by riveting performances from Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 8, 2008
 
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)97%
/
5.5/10
 
" Never tries to go too far below the surface, instead taking a snide and cynical approach to the meet-cute romantic comedy, filling it with all of the most obvious clichés and stereotypes in its desperate attempt for yucks." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)33%
/
5.5/10
 
" Comes across like a 2-hour wedding video done by the world's worst cameraman with a few overly dramatic moments shoehorned in to allow the cast to flex their acting muscles." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Rachel Getting Married (2008)84%
/
7/10
 
" Ultimately, it's a satisfying character study, even if it ends much like far too many Romanian movies without a real conclusion or resolution." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Ballast (2008)76%
/
7/10
 
" A fairly satisfying story of an underdog taking on the corporations that anyone can get behind, although it rarely feels like something so cinematic you might feel the need to rush to see it in theaters." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Flash of Genius (2008)58%
/
6.5/10
 
" A sweet story of young love on the streets of New York thrives on the chemistry between its two young stars, but is marred by the needlessly low-brow comedy added to try to create comedy that appeals to a larger (i.e. dumber) audience." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)72%
/
2/10
 
" One can only assume that 'the blind leading the blind' best describes the decision to adapt this novel in such an abysmal manner." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Blindness (2008)41%
/
5.5/10
 
" If nothing else, at least Lee can feel some degree of satisfaction knowing he's made a movie about as ineffective and incoherent as Clint Eastwood's Flag of our Fathers." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 25, 2008
 
Miracle at St. Anna (2008)31%
/
6/10
 
" Take one or two good ideas and add a lot of political thriller clichés and you end up with a disappointingly predictable action movie that doesn't necessarily deliver on the promised goods." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 25, 2008
 
Eagle Eye (2008)27%
/
5.5/10
 
" A ten hanky movie that ends up being just enough to make a nice noose for yourself after sitting through such an inexcusably downer ending." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 24, 2008
 
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)29%
/
7.5/10
 
" A refreshing departure from the normal 'soldier's story' movies we've seen in recent years." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 24, 2008
 
The Lucky Ones (2008)33%
/
8.5/10
 
" Sweet and heart-warming without being overly saccharine and smart without forcing one's brain to work too hard ... one of those rare feel-good comedies that actually makes you feel good." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Ghost Town (2008)85%
/
9/10
 
" Both a departure and a welcome return to form for Wang as an indie auteur, a beautiful and incredibly moving story of real life relationships that exudes subtlety and self-control in a refreshing way." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2008)67%
/
7/10
 
" Trying to address important and serious social issues in this violent world rather than just creating something sensationalistic or exploitative gives Elite Squad an edge over normal police thrillers." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
Elite Squad (2008)50%
/
7/10
 
" An ambitious directorial debut from Irish actor Stuart Townsend that does an impressive job recreating the 1999 protests that accompanied the World Trade Organization's arrival in Seattle." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
Battle in Seattle (2008)55%
/
8/10
 
" A worthwhile addition to a genre that's been driven into the ground by weaker filmmakers who know where to rent the costumes, but don't understand the importance of storytelling." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
The Duchess (2008)60%
/
6.5/10
 
" There really isn't very much tension or the scares some might hope for ... the movie's last ten minutes try to overcompensate with lots of action after nearly 90 minutes of rather mundane mindgames." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
Lakeview Terrace (2008)42%
/
 
" I expect the cast, particularly Beckinsale, and Lurie's script to get a lot of attention in the next few months." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 10, 2008
 
Nothing But the Truth (2008)86%
/
2.5/10
 
" If Italians had their own term for 'schmaltzy', this awful, derivative and painfully cringeworthy piece of steaming crap would be the most loathsome example of such an adjective." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Everybody Wants to be Italian (2008)0%
/
7/10
 
" Despite its slow pace and excessive length, it's still a striking debut from the [first-time] filmmaker that thrives on the simplicity of the characters and storytelling." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
August Evening (2008)95%
/
7/10
 
" Such a different movie from the Americana Chris Smith has covered in his previous films ... but it's a refreshing departure that gives us a different glimpse at the people of India than we've seen in common Bollywood fare." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
The Pool (2008)96%
/
8.5/10
 
" A somber and haunting personal film told with the scope of The Godfather trilogy that's sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who sees it." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
A Secret (2008)91%
/
4/10
 
" Dull, predictable and unoriginal ... the main character is so annoyingly silly it's hard to put up with him for an entire movie." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Ping Pong Playa (2008)68%
/
7.5/10
 
" A striking film but certainly more of one that grows on you rather than one that's immediately compelling." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Mister Foe (2008)75%
/
8/10
 
" Combining the imaginative visuals of Jeunet and Greenaway with the quirky characterizations of Kaurismaki ... a sumptuous feast of delicious food and sexy women." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
I Served the King of England (2008)80%
/
2/10
 
" Like a futuristic remake of "XXX" no one ever asked for, this atrociously lame and redundant sci-fi flick may be the dullest action movie of the year." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Babylon A.D. (2008)7%
/
8/10
 
" A thought-provoking addition to the current wave of real world political thrillers." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 26, 2008
 
Traitor (2008)53%
/
4.5/10
 
" As much as the word 'vapid' is thrown around in the movie, it's also the perfect adjective to describe it. There are much better comedies out there right now to waste time on this one." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
The House Bunny (2008)39%
/
6.5/10
 
" An average doc that far too often turns into a showcase for Roberts' burgeoning career as a rapper, something that often takes away from its potential as a real human and emotional story." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Trouble the Water (2008)97%
/
7.5/10
 
" This sweet inspirational story while familiar at times, keeps you thoroughly entertained by mixing healthy doses of humor into the real world drama." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 20, 2008
 
The Longshots (2008)38%
/
7/10
 
" Exactly what you might expect, a mindless action flick that allows you to cheer as people get slaughtered while racing around in armored cars ... anyone expecting anything [else] is obviously in the wrong movie." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 20, 2008
 
Death Race (2008)43%
/
8/10
 
" Is to the country's troubled economy what An Inconvenient Truth was to global warming ... it's extremely effective at getting its message across." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 20, 2008
 
I.O.U.S.A. (2008)87%
/
8/10
 
" You might leave the theatre wondering whose minds were more twisted and demented, those who wrote this movie, or your own?" -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
Hamlet 2 (2008)63%
/
7.5/10
 
" A great cast, solid writing, some poppy head-bopping tunes and a story full of warmth and laughs often makes up for its sometimes predictable high concept plot." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 18, 2008
 
The Rocker (2008)36%
/
7.5/10
 
" Another intriguing take on affairs of the heart from the master of the artform with some solid performances, most notably from Javier Bardem and Rebecca Hall." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)80%
/
6.5/10
 
" May be a better-than-average Saturday morning cartoon, but as a theatrical feature, it has limited appeal to young kids and the few diehard fans who'll be able to overlook some of the silliness inherent in the story." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 14, 2008
 
The Clone Wars (2008)19%
/
7/10
 
" The movie is certainly flawed, but if you're able to suspend disbelief for the spiritual premise and can appreciate quiet little character-driven films where not much happens, you can do worse than this innocent and often lovely film." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 13, 2008
 
Henry Poole Is Here (2008)36%
/
9/10
 
" It's the funniest movie of the year by far, one that can be watched repeatedly to gain more insight into its unmatched brilliance." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 12, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)83%
/
10/10
 
" One of the most amazing cinematic experiences and achievements in terms of recreating a single event in history in the most comprehensive way." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 9, 2008
 
Man on Wire (2008)100%
/
7.5/10
 
" Probably could have cut out 15 to 20 minutes without losing anything, but if you're even remotely interested in this fascinating and enigmatic artist or the influence she's had on the world of rock, then you might want to check it out." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)68%
/
4.5/10
 
" Since it's fairly obvious where things are going, it's somewhat of a waste of time when all's said and done ... unless you're REALLY into wine." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
Bottle Shock (2008)45%
/
7/10
 
" Not nearly as dramatic or visually captivating as last year's Control ... it does offer an interesting piece of the puzzle from the L.A. hardcore scene that hasn't been explored." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
What We Do Is Secret (2008)46%
/
7/10
 
" A gorgeous looking film with a wry and clever script and a talented cast giving stellar performances, but one that suffers greatly from the painstakingly slow pace." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
6.5/10
 
" Invariably, you may find yourself stopping to wonder whether what you just laughed at was actually funny, and that's a good way to kill any comedy right there." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Pineapple Express (2008)68%
/
7.5/10
 
" Sweet, sentimental and funny in a warm and fuzzy way, even if it's somewhat predictable and few of the actors seem very Jewish." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Jul 30, 2008
 
Sixty Six (2008)64%
/
5.5/10
 
" For those in the Red States anxiously awaiting a political comedy just for you, here comes an extremely erratic and disjointed attempt at mixing comedy with a message movie that fails on both counts." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Jul 30, 2008
 
Swing Vote (2008)38%
/
6.5/10
 
" Could have been a lot worse, but should have been much better ... it's a movie you can watch once and be entertained, but it probably could never sustain multiple viewings like the best summer fare." -- ComingSoon.net
Posted Jul 30, 2008
 
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)13%
/
8/10
 
" If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you might want to give up on comedy altogether." -- ComingSoon.net
