2/4	" There's shockingly little plot in this tale of the denizens of the titular city." Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	47%
2.5/4	" Body of Lies has its share of exciting moments -- Scott remains a master at directing physical action -- and it certainly couldn't be more timely. But it's also a safe and predictable movie about a subject that is neither." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	53%
0/4	" I can't imagine anyone -- Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, red-state or blue-state, earthling or E.T. -- finding An American Carol anything other than 'not funny.' And idiotic. And demeaning. And aggressively, persistently crummy." Posted Oct 6, 2008	An American Carol (2008)	13%
3.5/4	" Director Sollett adds a humanistic layer of insight and wisdom to the story that transcends teen-pic formulas." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
2/4	" It's not the message in Religulous that's a turn-off, but the way in which it's delivered." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	68%
3.5/4	" It's Ball's complex and frank approach to subject matter normally depicted in black-and-white terms that distinguishes Towelhead from so many coming-of-age dramas before it." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	49%
2/4	" A ridiculous wrongly-accused-guy-on-the-run thriller." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
1/4	" The movie is purportedly a thriller, a la Unlawful Entry or Pacific Heights, but the whole thing is so listless and mechanical, watching it is a curiously dispiriting experience." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	42%
1/4	" It's not every movie that makes you wish Vin Diesel would run in and start blowing up stuff." Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	10%
3/4	" *A cartoonish spoof of espionage thrillers, Burn After Reading* comes on so goofily that you don't notice the pessimistic undertone right away.*" Posted Sep 12, 2008*	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
3/4	" There are moments of poetry on display." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	86%
3/4	" A refreshingly brisk and modest salvo from the American independent film front, proving there's still interesting life in the scruffy, shot-on-video genre." Posted Aug 29, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
2.5/4	" The action-thriller stuff is serviceable, if unremarkable, but there's no denying the sense that the filmmakers lost their nerve." Posted Aug 27, 2008	Traitor (2008)	53%
2/4	" The people who made Bottle Shock obviously love their wine. They're not that crazy about the French. And they are firm believers in the screenwriting rule of leaving no underdog-formula clich� unused." Posted Aug 22, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
3/4	" *Director Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me) keeps the focus on Kepesh, played by Kingsley in a performance that brings sympathy and humanity to a selfish, imperious, predatory man." Posted Aug 22, 2008*	Elegy (2008)	74%
3/4	" American Teen finds the truth in the trite and the cliched: It's a wonderful look at why growing up is so hard to do." Posted Aug 7, 2008	American Teen (2008)	69%
3/4	" This is an endearingly slovenly, profane movie with bursts of startling violence, but it's all played for nyuk-nyuk laughs, and it has been directed with more care than it might initially appear by David Gordon Green." Posted Aug 7, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
2/4	" Full Grown Men doesn't even make childhood seem like all that much fun." Posted Aug 1, 2008	Full Grown Men (2008)	40%
3/4	" This story about two aspiring writers in their early 20s has the fearlessness and vivacity of a first novel, and its playful approach to chronology and voice-over narration serves to amplify its themes instead of coming off as a show-off trick." Posted Aug 1, 2008	Reprise (2008)	86%
	" As the shape-shifting baddie, Li spends most of the movie running around under extensive digital makeup, which renders his casting pointless, since it could be anybody under there. He also, at one point, turns into a giant three-headed dragon. No, really." Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
2/4	" The Wackness marks a step up in ambition, but it is also self-indulgent and needlessly complicated for what it ultimately delivers: a somber John Hughes picture scored to A Tribe Called Quest and Mary J. Blige." Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	67%
2.5/4	" This is ultimately Ferrell and Reilly's show, and although the two actors have played plenty of stooges in the past, they've never done it with quite the same abandon they do here." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
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)	53%
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)	88%
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)	79%
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)	18%
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)	89%
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)	35%
2/4	" This is a stunning coffee-table book, but it's not really a movie." Posted May 30, 2008	The Fall (2008)	58%
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)	43%
3/4	" Its range of subjects and emotions cuts a surprisingly wide swath." Posted May 23, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2007)	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)	77%
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)	74%
1/4	" *Were Larry and Andy Wachowski just really, really lucky when they made The Matrix?" Posted May 9, 2008*	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
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)	93%
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)	89%
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)	5%
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)	64%
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%
