B+	"The Duchess of Langeais is a romantic dance of death." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
B-	"Step Brothers is outrageous enough to acquire a cult. Complete with male nudity and dog poop, it's like a midnight movie you can catch at a matinee." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%
C	"The X-Files: I Want to Believe resembles those TV-series reunions that bring the cast of a hit together for a not-so-special occasion." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 25, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
A-	"Canny, refreshingly emotional and intuitive thriller." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 18, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	92%
C-	"A party where everyone is so desperate to have a good time that it makes you miserable." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
C	"It's the standard-bearer for the school of comic-book movies that confuses pompousness with seriousness and popular mechanics for drama." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
B+	Click here to read article -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 16, 2008	For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)	98%
C	"The main problem is the movie hems in Murphy." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
B	"Del Toro stuffs the film with wit and wonderments. Yet, coming out this superhero summer, it plays like a lovingly crafted synthesis of every fantasy saga we've seen in the past decade." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
C	"With all the good will in the world, I couldn't warm up to Kit Kittredge. The movie is like a 1930s or 1940s short about Americans pulling together, stretched out to feature length." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
B-	"The first half is diverting and inventive. But the filmmakers use the second half as a box-office insurance policy. They fill it with the conventional super-heroics and heartbreak that they spend the first 45 minutes gleefully deconstructing." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
B	"*Call it Hoop Daydreams: a whiz-bang frolic through the lives and skills of eight high-school basketball players who dribble, pass and shoot their way into the ultimate city-park game." -- Baltimore Sun* Posted Jun 27, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
a-	"Like Jules and Jim or Band of Outsiders blended with A Hard Day's Night." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 27, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%
c	"Kalin fails to sustain a single tone with his direction or make his vision of the high life as revelatory as it is luxurious. As a director, he's just a tony interior decorator - the swell settings are more seductive than the characters." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 27, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
B	"Up the Yangtze provides a devastating view of top-down, broad-stroke social programs." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 27, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%
A	"WALL-E conjures magical comedy out of the confusions of adolescence and the wrong turns of adulthood, as well as the exuberance of childhood. It's sometimes bright, sometimes gloomy, but always engaging and accessible." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
B+	"The film pulls you by the scruff of the neck and makes you thankful for it. It releases every ounce of pent-up frustration and rage in your body." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
B	"A semi-hilarious nonformula movie that makes you realize why formulas are born." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
B	"The movie would be an unbearably grueling endurance test for the audience and the hero were it not for the arid beauty of the Great Steppe and the sweep of the battles, rendered with splatters of gore that lend a Jackson Pollock-like excitement to [it]." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 20, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
B	"With so much ground to cover, Carroll's own story must hold everything together. And it just about does, because it's inherently fascinating." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 20, 2008	Constantine's Sword (2008)	83%
C-	"To judge from the crowd reaction, a phalanx of true believers might, indeed, go along for the ride, but newcomers to the Mike Myers experience will leave this love train early." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
B	"This movie will give true believers their money's worth. It's hit or miss -- yet when a legendary figure like the Hulk hits, the impact is startling, and even when he fans, he generates gale force." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
C+	"Screenwriter John Strysik could have written the script for Stuck on Post-Its. It slaps endless reminders of social significance over the fictionalized case of a female driver who hit a pedestrian and left him snagged and disabled in her windshield." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 13, 2008	Stuck (2008)	71%
C-	"Shyamalan wants the rustling of wind through greenery to evoke the same shudders in The Happening that the gathering of birds did in Hitchcock's The Birds" -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
B+	"Roman de Gare is the rare trick film in which all the tricks reveal something amusing, involving or poignant about its characters." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 6, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
A-	"Standard Operating Procedure catalyzes unexpected and often harrowing blends of outrage, sympathy and sorrow." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 6, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
B	"This movie leaves 'em laughing -- and gasping." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
C+	"At 113 minutes, the movie bloats, and the humor wears thin, but it's still one of Adam Sandler's sturdier vehicles. That's consumer guidance for Sandler fans -- not high praise." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
F	"*Opening against Sex and the City, it's counterprogramming that runs counter to any sane notion of art or entertainment." -- Baltimore Sun* Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
C-	"*Since it clocks in at almost 2 1/2 hours, you may think, sight unseen, that the movie version of the HBO smash Sex and the City* is guilty of wretched excess. Pathetic excess is more like it.*" -- Baltimore Sun* Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
B	"This wispy romantic comedy offers droll and charming proof of love conquering materialism." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 23, 2008	Priceless (2008)	83%
B+	"What gives the film a haunting and sometimes droll poetic unity is the way co-directors Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen trace all their characters moving in a jellyfish-like fashion." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 23, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	86%
B+	"Once again, the Indiana Jones series is the rare franchise that treasures knowledge and embraces the unknown." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 22, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
B+	"Lean and gritty, the movie eschews false sentiment, but in Alejandro (Alejandro Polanco), a tough, resourceful 12-year-old who stares down reality and bounces back from his own miscalculations, the movie boasts an anti-hero who inspires hopes." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 16, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	95%
B	"Son of Rambow is half a great movie. At its best, it is a comic epic for half-pints." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 16, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
A	"Prince Caspian, the second entry in the Chronicles of Narnia series, is a glorious medieval war movie." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
C	"Midler plays an extrovert with heart and brains, but the twists and turnarounds in this mother-and-child reunion arrive right on schedule; in the end, she's less a mother than a show-biz fairy godmother." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 9, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
C	"It is a trip, but it's a bad trip." -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
D	"What Happens in Vegas is the kind of terrible mistake performers as big as Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher usually make at the beginning of their careers, when they're anxious to break into the movies, or at the end, when they're struggling for a comeback" -- Baltimore Sun Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
A-	"*The ticklish fun of Iron Man* comes from watching a happy cast in fighting trim make a concept that should sink like a lead dirigible do cartwheels on the ground and barrel-rolls in the sky.*" -- Baltimore Sun* Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
B+	"Hip-hop fans should flock to Planet B-Boy to see what break dancing looks like around the world, but so should movie-musical and performance-art fans who love intelligent and aggressive improvisation and energy." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 25, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	91%
A	"The Visitor is a small film; it's also an incandescent one." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
B	"Girls Rock! is scrappy, but at its best, it shows you humans blooming with the speed of flowers in time-lapse photography." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 25, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	74%
D	"Williams has no chance to create a character, and McGregor's is one big -- no, slender -- cliche. And if it's fun at first to see Jackman acting urbane instead of all Wolverine-like, by the end he's just another brute in a suit." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	11%
C	"*By the time it reaches its supposedly crowd-pleasing finale, Baby Mama* may have self-respecting comedy fans (and even Tina Fey fans) crying uncle.*" -- Baltimore Sun* Posted Apr 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
C-	"A come-on in search of a movie, Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? is a failure even as a celluloid pamphlet." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
B+	"*Kung fu purists may scoff, but escapists with a sense of humor should romp through The Forbidden Kingdom." -- Baltimore Sun* Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
B	"Less like a party than a long night at a friendly saloon. Still, it's replete with wayward charms." -- Baltimore Sun Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
C+	"*Kate Beckinsale is too good for any of the guys in Snow Angels* and too good for this movie.*" -- Baltimore Sun* Posted Apr 11, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
B-	"*The most original parts of The Year My Parents Went on Vacation* vividly juxtapose melting-pot conviviality with political turmoil in 1970 Brazil.*" -- Baltimore Sun* Posted Apr 11, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	85%
