3/4	"First-time director Chico Teixeira, an accomplished maker of documentaries in Brazil, brings a similar nonfiction feel to this melodramatic milieu, which is kick-started when Alice contemplates having an affair of her own with a former sweetheart." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Alice's House (2008)	90%
2.5/4	"It's a one-of-a-kind cinematic wreck: I couldn't wait for it to end, and yet I'm strangely longing to see it again." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
3.5/4	"It's proof that popcorn entertainments don't have to talk down to their audiences in order to satisfy them. The bar for comic-book film adaptations has been permanently raised." Posted Jul 15, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3.5/4	"It's the path del Toro takes to get there that gives the film its propulsive kick: You literally never know what's coming next, and what does is always better and cooler than you could have imagined." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
3/4	"A thoroughly satisfying and engaging children's picture that never forgets those kids probably didn't get to the theater by themselves." Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3/4	"The battle sequences are tremendous, and the performances are captivating, making for the sort of rousing, giant-scale entertainment that a figure as towering as Genghis Khan deserves." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
2.5/4	"Even if the game isn't entirely successful, it's fun to play along." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
4/4	"WALL-E is Pixar's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial or its Pinocchio: an archetypal fable about loneliness simple enough -- yet deep enough -- to instantly captivate anyone who sees it." Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2.5/4	"Careful not to repeat the past, The Incredible Hulk does a lot of things Lee's The Hulk didn't: It's lighter and faster-paced, it's funnier and it embraces (instead of ignoring) the 1970s TV series that furthered the character's popularity." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
3/4	"A subtle, measured work, which means there will be many who find it dull and pointless." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
3/4	"*As unappetizing as the subject may seem, Errol Morris' Standard Operating Procedure* exerts a hypnotic pull anyway.*" Posted Jun 6, 2008*	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
3/4	"The movie has lean, to-the-point simplicity, which is refreshing in an era when so many films take needlessly bloated, talky routes into their story (for more on this, see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
3/4	"*Essentially, You Don't Mess With the Zohan* isn't all that different in tone and sensibility from Sandler's previous films, but he's really trying in this one, and the effort pays off.*" Posted Jun 6, 2008*	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2/4	"This is a stunning coffee-table book, but it's not really a movie." Posted May 30, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
2/4	"*After a while, the suspense starts seeping out of The Strangers, because you realize that's all there's going to be to the movie." Posted May 30, 2008*	The Strangers (2008)	41%
3/4	"Its range of subjects and emotions cuts a surprisingly wide swath." Posted May 23, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%
2.5/4	"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may be the slightest, least memorable entry in the franchise, but it's a franchise with a rather high bar, and the film's plentiful flaws do not overwhelm its pleasures." Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
3/4	"*With apologies to Mr. Stallone, no one would ever argue First Blood* was an essential part of any healthy childhood. But the ability to make-believe certainly is.*" Posted May 16, 2008*	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
1/4	"*Were Larry and Andy Wachowski just really, really lucky when they made The Matrix?" Posted May 9, 2008*	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
2.5/4	"The movie takes the familiar scenarios of high school angst and adolescent crushes and gives them a wonderful musical spin, complete with elaborate sets and choreography." Posted May 1, 2008	Were the World Mine (2008)	n/a
3/4	"[It's] an absolute blast to watch, a consummate piece of popcorn entertainment made with wit and class, and it leaves you so pumped for a sequel that it is practically guaranteed to become a huge hit. The bar for the summer movie season has been set." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
2/4	"*The bad news about My Blueberry Nights* is that it feels like an exaggeration to call it an actual movie.*" Posted Apr 25, 2008*	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
3/4	"The Visitor is a small movie, but its emotions could not be writ any larger." Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
3/4	"*What makes Young@Heart* such an ingratiating experience goes far deeper than the novelty of seeing old people singing hard rock tunes.*" Posted Apr 25, 2008*	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
1/4	"This is easily one of the silliest, most preposterous thrillers ever made, and the only reason it didn't go straight to video has to be that it stars Pacino." Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
3/4	"The Forbidden Kingdom may be nothing but disposable fun, but it is a great, heaping, overflowing helping of fun. If you're 10, it may also seem like Citizen Kane." Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
2.5/4	"*The inspired pairing of Demi Moore and Michael Caine as a pair of thieves in the diamond-heist semi-caper movie Flawless* goes a long way toward overcoming the film's slack, leisurely pacing.*" Posted Apr 11, 2008*	Flawless (2007)	59%
3/4	"A perfect match of material and sensibility." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
2.5/4	"The picture may feel more than a little familiar, but [director] Ayer knows how to cook up intense setpieces, and Reeves keeps getting better at the weary hero role he continually gravitates toward." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
2.5/4	"There are cheesy special effects and even cheesier gags, and the schmaltz eventually piles on neck-deep." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
2.5/4	"*The finale of The Ruins* makes the film feel like a cheap cop-out � a claim no one would ever make about the novel.*" Posted Apr 4, 2008*	The Ruins (2008)	47%
3.5/4	"The singer's energy remains awe-inspiring: He flails his sinewy limbs around the stage like a man possessed, and there isn't a single song in the show that he doesn't invest himself in whole." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
3/4	"An endearingly sweet fable about a hotly debated subject." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	73%
2.5/4	"Leatherheads goes on a good 20 minutes too long, and there's very little in it that makes a lasting impression, but it's easy to watch while it's unspooling -- much like, you know, a lot of Cary Grant comedies." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
3.5/4	"Paranoid Park, Gus Van Sant's mesmerizing new movie, melds the dreamy languor of his last few films with a page-turner of a plot." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
3.5/4	"*The experience of watching Funny Games, be it the original or this version, is never forgotten, whatever your ultimate impression of the film." Posted Mar 14, 2008*	Funny Games (2008)	50%
2/4	"*Shot on a low budget with mostly unknown actors, Diary of the Dead* isn't exactly involving on a dramatic level: You really never care who lives or dies, a fatal flaw for any horror film.*" Posted Feb 15, 2008*	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
1/4	"The best stuff in Jumper comes early, while the movie is still busy explaining its scenario. It's only when all the pieces are in place and the story actually kicks in that things start to fall apart, and quickly." Posted Feb 15, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
3/4	"A refreshingly spry, modest adventure." Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
2/4	"[The film] forces its characters to ask themselves what they are able to live with and how far they are willing to go to attain personal happiness. It's a worthwhile theme, except Allen has explored it before, in an infinitely more engrossing manner." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	51%
2/4	"If you're going to make a heist picture, then at least have the decency to make the heist itself interesting." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	21%
3/4	"Cloverfield delivers exactly what its memorable coming attractions trailer promised, and it doesn't chicken out when it counts, either. Considering the state of horror movies today, that's something." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
1/4	"Although it's easy to admire what [Coppola] was attempting to do with Youth Without Youth, the movie fails on such a thorough and complete level that to call it a noble attempt isn't really fair: It's really a colossal miscalculation." Posted Jan 11, 2008	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
4/4	"Anderson is attempting to harness the old-fashioned American Western epic with the probing psychology and intimacy of a modern-day character study. The fact that that character happens to be so repellent is one of the film's many strokes of genius." Posted Jan 11, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
3/4	"The movie is so good at using its horror elements to explore deeper, less fantastical emotions. For all its bump-in-the-night suspense, The Orphanage is ultimately as much about motherhood and grief as it is about apparitions and shadowy corridors." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
2/4	"The Kite Runner is earnest and sentimental and formulaic and obvious. Watching it, I could understand the fuss over Khaled Hosseini's bestselling novel, but the film didn't make me want to read it." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
3/4	"Juno comes on all wisecracking and aren't-we-clever, but don't be surprised if you find yourself getting choked up -- with happy tears -- by the end." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
3/4	"The humor in The Savages is born out of the performances by Linney and Hoffman, two actors who can convey as much about their characters as the ones around them with a seemingly effortless, instinctual ability." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Savages (2007)	91%
3/4	"It is so much fun watching these actors enjoy bouncing off each other, it's almost too easy to forget the importance of the story being told." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
3.5/4	"The wait for a good Tim Burton movie is finally over." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
