"David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do slip comfortably back into the roles that made them superstars in the 1990s, but the movie itself from director and X-Files series creator Chris Carter never feels like anything more than an extended episode." -- Associated Press
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)31%
/
 
"Except for some obvious staging on Burstein’s part, their ups and downs, doubts and dreams, all feel vividly real. Well, at least more real than anything you see on The Hills." -- Associated Press
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
American Teen (2008)67%

"Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are essentially playing the same person, which is the movie's fundamental, irreparable flaw." -- Associated Press
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)54%

"If Mamma Mia! works on any level at all, it's through the sheer radiance of Meryl Streep." -- Associated Press
Posted Jul 15, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
 
"An epic that will leave you staggering from the theater, stunned by its scope and complexity. It's also, thankfully, a vast improvement over his self-serious origin story, 2005's Batman Begins." -- Associated Press
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%

"Meet Dave. Or don't. Eddie Murphy doesn't particularly seem to care one way or the other." -- Associated Press

Meet Dave (2008)21%

"Words don't really do justice in attempting to describe the wondrous array of misfits and monsters Guillermo del Toro has concocted in Hellboy II: The Golden Army." -- Associated Press

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%

"Andrew Stanton is resourceful enough to find infinite ways for them to express themselves — amusingly, achingly, and with emotional precision. He's also created, with the help of a team of animators, a visual marvel." -- Associated Press
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%

"Sure, you've seen plenty of this type of amped-up nonsense before... That doesn't make Wanted any less enjoyable." -- Associated Press

Wanted (2008)72%

"The packaging looks good for the most part. But there's still some assembly required." -- Associated Press
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)80%
/
 
"Get Smart, which began its life on TV as a classic sitcom that cleverly satirized Cold War espionage, has been transformed for the big screen into just another standard action picture." -- Associated Press
Posted Jun 18, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%

"The inevitable comparisons to , Marvel Studios' first blockbuster this summer, serve as a glaring reminder of what this Hulk lacks: wit and heart." -- Associated Press
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Incredible Hulk (2008)67%
/
 
"For all its perceived shock value, all the concern that a comedy about conflict in the Middle East would offend just about everyone imaginable, You Don't Mess With the Zohan is really rather conventional and familiar." -- Associated Press
Posted Jun 4, 2008
 
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)34%
/
 
"At times, it verges on being overbearing, too much to watch -- and yet you can't turn your eyes away for fear of missing whatever excruciatingly awkward moment might come next." -- Associated Press
Posted May 28, 2008
 
The Foot Fist Way (2008)58%
/
 
"It's all really soapy, though, with only some smidgens of substance." -- Associated Press
Posted May 28, 2008
 
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%
/
 
"How does Uwe Boll keep getting work? Seriously, this is not a rhetorical question -- someone, somewhere surely must know the answer." -- Associated Press
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Postal (2008)9%

"It's admittedly a pleasure to see Harrison Ford back in the role. Once you get past the initial reintroduction, though, it's obvious that this fourth film in the Indy series really has no idea where to go." -- Associated Press
Posted May 19, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
 
"Ms. Reidel also deserves credit for depicting the possibility of finding love at all ages, something that larger and more mainstream movies so often shy away from showing." -- Associated Press
Posted May 16, 2008
 
How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)83%
/
 
"It's simultaneously darker and funnier, more substantive and more engaging, more violent and more technically accomplished." -- Associated Press

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)66%
/
 
"This whacked-out fairy tale for grown-ups is as stunning in its beauty as it is in its lack of logic." -- Associated Press
Posted May 9, 2008
 
The Fall (2008)53%

"What happens in Vegas is exactly what you would expect: It's formulaic, slapsticky, silly and loud, until it goes all gooey in the end." -- Associated Press

"The Wachowski brothers have tumbled into a matrix of their own with Speed Racer, one which has rendered them completely out of touch with the outside world." -- Associated Press

Redbelt (2008)71%

"Nothing is ever funny or cute or clever -- or romantic, the supposed point. It all feels recycled and trite." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 30, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/
 
"Beneath the requisite spectacle is an issue-laden storyline with heart to go along with its brains." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 30, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
 
"Deception collapses into such a ridiculous pile of plot twists and double crosses, that there's nothing pleasurable about it -- guilty or otherwise. It tries to deceive us into thinking it makes sense." -- Associated Press

Deception (2008)11%

"Mommy culture, with its capacity for smugness and solipsism, seems like a ripe topic for parody, but Baby Mama approaches it with kid gloves." -- Associated Press

Baby Mama (2008)61%
/
 
"As Spc. Jeremy Sivitz puts it with great understatement, 'When you're in war, things change.' Morris forces us to ask ourselves what we would have done in their position, whether or not we like the answer." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
Standard Operating Procedure (2008)78%

"So curious, and such a disappointment." -- Associated Press

"For all its implied weightiness and melancholy, My Blueberry Nights is a confection that leaves you feeling empty." -- Associated Press

My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%

"A sufficiently entertaining diversion." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)63%
/
 
"As he jets from place to place, he provides glib, oversimplified tidbits about Mideast history along the way." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 16, 2008
 
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)35%
/
 
"It has just the right balance of the salty and the sweet. It also signals an introduction of sorts to a couple of engaging talents." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 16, 2008
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)85%
/
 
"Novelist-turned-screenwriter Mark Poirier gives the capable, eclectic cast some real zingers to play with, but he also loads his script with some plot contrivances that are simply too hard to accept." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Smart People (2008)49%
/
 
"The cliches and laughably hammy dialogue are scattered about just as liberally as the spent bullet casings in Street Kings." -- Associated Press

Street Kings (2008)36%
/
 
"Nim's Island is a movie for kids who like to think and read and use their imagination, and for parents who may be tired of family fare that's nothing but a litany of cutesy pop-culture references." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 3, 2008
 
Nim's Island (2008)49%
/
 
"There is no such thing as a blank slate with such cultural icons -- too much informs our viewing experience -- and that's both one of the film's biggest strengths and weaknesses." -- Associated Press
Posted Apr 2, 2008
 
Shine a Light (2008)86%
/
 
"Peirce (with co-writer Mark Richard) also vacillates between earnestness and superficiality, making Stop-Loss too often feel like eye candy with a message." -- Associated Press
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
 
"Director John Schultz's movie is as lame and predictable as you'd imagine, and it's chock full of orphanage cliches." -- Associated Press
Posted Mar 25, 2008
 
Like Mike (2002)56%
/
 
"Do you hear that? That shrill, shrieking sound coming from your local multiplex? That would be the Judd Apatow machine slowly, steadily winding down after humming along so brilliantly for so long." -- Associated Press
Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%
/
 
"After a slow and tiresome start, Miss Pettigrew forges ahead with true British fortitude and class, an endearing bond forming between McDormand and Adams, who are ably backed by a top-notch supporting cast led by Ciaran Hinds and Shirley Henderson." -- Associated Press
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)78%

"A mix of vast CGI spectacle and small, silly moments, the prehistoric saga 10,000 BC is an epic in name only." -- Associated Press

10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
 
"It’s all sufficiently brisk and engaging as it’s going on, and afterward you certainly won’t feel ripped off. But you won’t feel any differently, either." -- Associated Press

The Bank Job (2008)78%

"Your eyes will probably roll before anyone's head does." -- Associated Press
Posted Feb 27, 2008
 
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)42%

"Unlike Eternal Sunshine, in which Gondry achieved real poignancy about a different kind of erasing, Be Kind Rewind falls into the same category as his The Science of Sleep: It's too silly, and straining too hard to be weird." -- Associated Press
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Be Kind Rewind (2008)68%
/
 
"[Sitting through] Charlie Bartlett makes you feel as if you've just watched three episodes of a new TV series you can't wait to see more of -- one that's so funny and smart and unpredictable, it would probably only survive one season on the air." -- Associated Press
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Charlie Bartlett (2007)55%
/
 
"The message is muddled, but the zombie master still knows how to make a gripping, graphic, grossly funny horror flick." -- Associated Press
Posted Feb 15, 2008
 
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)60%
/
 
"Jumper had potential, though. It's got a clever premise. And at its best, in the beginning, it almost feels like the pilot for a prime-time series you'd like to see more of. But now we're jumping ahead of ourselves." -- Associated Press
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Jumper (2008)16%

"A surprisingly clever romantic comedy that starts brightly but unfortunately loses its spark at the end." -- Associated Press
