2/4	"Come to think of it, maybe the reason the movie spends so much time patting the band on the back is because it is obvious movie audiences aren't likely to." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 25, 2008	CSNY D�j� Vu (2008)	66%
3.5/4	"*If poetry is about finding the perfect words to say something, then movie poetry is about finding perfect images. And Water Lilies* has several of them.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jul 25, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	79%

2/4	"*When they get to space, though, Space Chimps* turns shrill and ugly. The film's designers seem to have run out of money.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
3/4	"Giddy, brainless fun." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
3.5/4	"*Among this summer's action films, Dark Knight* is easily the best in show.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3.5/4	"*If Up the Yangtze* makes you think, 'How can a film so lovely be about something so horrible?' then it has done its job.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jul 11, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%
3/4	"Although filmmakers James and Maureen Castle Tusty haven't figured out how to make historic tidbits come alive, they do know how to make them sing." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Singing Revolution (2007)	83%
2/4	"The material is as facile and phony as any Meg Ryan romcom." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
2.5/4	"It's not a great movie, but Burstyn fans shouldn't miss her subtle performance." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Stone Angel (2008)	47%
2/4	"If you really want to understand and appreciate [Thompson], you'd be better off reading his books." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%

3/4	"Brick Lane is so lovely that even a simple shot of empty hangers in a closet shimmers." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%

3/4	"There's so much beauty and imagination on display in Hellboy II: The Golden Army that it's sometimes hard to tell if you're watching an action movie or a museum exhibit called 'The Artistry of Guillermo Del Toro.'" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
	"Watching its use of a couple of the better bits from Hello, Dolly! could make you think you should put that '60s musical on your Netflix queue. You shouldn't. That movie is as lousy as Wall-E is terrific." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 8, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3.5/4	"A vibrant, character-filled mystery-comedy set during a Depression that resembles the present all too much." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3.5/4	"Hancock leaps fluidly from comedy to action to romance. And it has bigger surprises in store." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3/4	"The result is Maddin's most personal film and his easiest to love." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 27, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	97%
2	"Kalin makes some smart choices -- knowing the material is perverse enough, he doesn't amp things up with flashy editing or crazy camerawork -- but he doesn't care about these people." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 27, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
3/4	"*Smartly, Father* never ties up all its loose ends, but along the way, it is blessed with dozens of scenes in which a couple of actors connect in ways that feel deeply, humanly real.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jun 27, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
3/4	"None of this adds up to much, but Bekmambetov executes it with verve, capping it all with his most inventive kill." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
2/4	"*A gruesome drama enacted by a cast that speaks English with a bewildering variety of accents, Mother of Tears* is reliably gruesome and occasionally startling but not particularly scary.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jun 26, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
2.5/4	"I liked it, even though the one-bloody-battle-after-another deal is not my sort of thing. If it's your sort, I bet you'll like it even more." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 20, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
4/4	"Surfwise is a graceful, searching film that seems to have missed no opportunity to reveal truths about parents and children and how they come to understand each other." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 20, 2008	Surfwise (2008)	100%
2.5/4	"The movie just barely works because it's so sure of the buoyant appeal of its title character." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
2.5/4	"*Although it's ideally cast and consistently semi-amusing, Get Smart* takes its cue from the wishy-washy lead character.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3/4	"It's a wisp of a thing, but it's a lovely wisp." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 13, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	86%
14	"*Don't get attached to the actors in The Incredible Hulk. All of them are sidelined for the last half-hour of the drab, monotonous film." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
3/4	"Shyamalan movies demand that you surrender to his way of telling stories. If you're up for that, you should go." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
1/4	"The Promotion tries for the dry, low-key vibe of Election, but its humor is not so much dry as evaporated." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
	"*The characters in The Children of Huang Shi* can conquer famine, war, disease, natural disasters and addiction but not a truly horrible script.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
1/4	"Google the trailer. That should be enough." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
3/4	"As fizzy and non-nutritive as a glass of sparkling wine, Roman de Gare is a crowd-pleasing blend of romance, farce and mystery that plays out a little like a Ruth Rendell mystery novel with Rendell herself as the chief suspect." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 6, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
2/4	"The movie's tone shifts all over the place until it's such a blur you're not sure which parts are working and which aren't." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 6, 2008	Stuck (2008)	71%
3/4	"It transcends its subject matter to ask provocative, disturbing questions." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 6, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
3/4	"The movie may not win Sandler many new fans, but it's a baby step toward making comedies with a bit more substance than, say, The Waterboy." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
3.5/4	"The Rape of Europa is conventionally made, but it doesn't need cinematic sizzle because it's packed with so many fascinating factoids." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 30, 2008	The Rape of Europa (2007)	78%
2.5/4	"*It looks spectacular, but a book of The Fall* photographs would be just as compelling as the movie.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted May 30, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
3/4	"The Strangers is still entertaining but, just so you know, Them came up with a sharper, more disturbing way to finish things off." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
2/4	"It's unpleasant, as it should be, but not very illuminating." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 23, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
3.5/4	"*Every single second of O.S.S. 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies* is fun, and I'm talking about the opening credits, too.*" -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted May 23, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)	78%
3/4	"The film, which is set in the late '50s, is bathed in a golden glow that instantly transports us to another era, an era when the movies thrilled us with the daring exploits of human beings, not binary codes." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
3/4	"It's an unusually intimate portrait." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 16, 2008	Body of War (2008)	71%
3/4	"My Brother Is an Only Child is a buoyant, handsomely crafted film." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 16, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
1.5/4	"*At least we're already acquainted with the kids, so we know their story, but Caspian, loosely based on C.S. Lewis' novel, misses the opportunity to deepen it." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press* Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
1/4	"One of those dopey romantic epics in which many lives are ruined with gorgeous scenery in the background." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press Posted May 16, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	45%
