	" City of Ember would have functioned better as a five-minute theme-park ride than as a 94-minute family film." Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	45%
	" With its belabored gags, misfired pop-culture references and garish visuals crammed together like so many disjointed body parts, this manic kidpic cranks up the annoy-o-meter early on and rarely lets up." Posted Sep 15, 2008	Igor (2008)	28%
	" At once groaningly predictable and needlessly convoluted." Posted Sep 11, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	22%
	" A box of cannoli long past its sell-by date." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Everybody Wants to be Italian (2008)	0%
	" For all its luscious period trappings and Keira Knightley's spirited take on the title role, Saul Dibb's handsome biopic reveals little about how Georgiana Spencer Cavendish became one of 18th-century London's most celebrated and influential aristocrats." Posted Sep 2, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
	" Neither as extreme nor, for that matter, as interesting as its troublesome title." Posted Sep 2, 2008	YPF (2008)	43%
	" Moving ending won't satisfy all viewers, but shows admirable devotion to the film's notion that "Sometimes the poorest of men are the richest."" Posted Aug 8, 2008	Amal (2008)	100%
	" Graced with a gently cynical spirit and more brains than its average-Joe protagonist, Swing Vote applies a pleasing Frank Capra-esque glaze to the fanciful story of a blue-collar American whose vote ends up being the only one that counts." Posted Jul 29, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	38%
	" *While its genre-blurring may seem audacious by studio standards, in the end, Pineapple Express* still feels too safe, too constrained by buddy-comedy uplift, to have any real bite.*" Posted Jul 21, 2008*	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
	" An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by its hit predecessor and then some." Posted Jul 7, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
	" A patchy, uninspired eco-thriller whose R rating (a first for Shyamalan) looks more like a B.O. hindrance than an artistic boon." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	18%
No Rating	Click here to read article Posted Jun 5, 2008	Bunny Chow (2006)	n/a
	" A considerably better second installment than one usually encounters." Posted May 18, 2008	A Very Brady Sequel (1996)	48%
	" *The personal and mass chaos that would result if the human race lost its sense of vision is conveyed with diminished impact and an excess of stylish tics in Blindness." Posted May 15, 2008*	Blindness (2008)	41%
	" This nutty assemblage of art-history analysis, secret-society intrigue, amateur archaeology and paranoid thriller will be appreciated best by Da Vinci Code buffs and armchair conspiracy theorists in homevid and tube play." Posted May 9, 2008	Bloodline (2008)	30%
	" The film's flippant approach undermines the seriousness of its discourse, trading less in facts than in emotional appeals." Posted Apr 14, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	8%
	" Nim's Island is a picturesque adventure-comedy that quickly capsizes under the weight of its obnoxious slapstick, pedestrian dialogue and general unwillingness to rise above stock ideas and situations." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
	" The two leads have considerable screen appeal and decent chemistry, but are ill served by the material's sitcomish beats and mawkish resolution." Posted Mar 6, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	13%
	" A 23-minute movie dragged out, via some narrative gimmickry, to a punishing hour and a half." Posted Feb 21, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	" A work of both modest enchantment and enchanting modesty, grounded in a classically Spielbergian realm where childlike wonderment crosses paths with the tough realities of young adulthood." Posted Feb 12, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	" An in-your-face double helping of fat jokes, crude slapstick, wacky Southern-black stereotypes and occasionally inspired improv." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
	" A precocious if rather precious debut feature for writer-director Jennifer Phang." Posted Jan 31, 2008	Half-Life (2008)	n/a
	" An anemic grab-bag of Sundance cliches." Posted Jan 30, 2008	The Year of Getting to Know Us (2008)	n/a
	" *Contrived excess is rarely as entertaining as it is in the ironically titled Just Another Love Story, a furiously overheated romantic thriller from Danish writer-helmer Ole Bornedal." Posted Jan 30, 2008*	Just Another Love Story (2008)	n/a
	" Despite some clever virtual-reality concepts and projections about the next frontier of globalization, Alex Rivera's ambitious directing debut lacks the vision, or the budget, to pull off its fusion of sci-fi and aspirational saga." Posted Jan 28, 2008	Sleep Dealer (2008)	n/a
	" Canadian queer-cinema provocateur Bruce LaBruce continues his trademark blend of sexual explicitness and shoddy technique with his numbing necro-porno, Otto; or, Up With Dead People." Posted Jan 28, 2008	Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008)	n/a
	" Gets off to a clunky start, grows on the viewer through its leisurely midsection, then bogs down in an over-edited jumble of flashbacks, hallucinations and labored symbolism." Posted Jan 25, 2008	North Starr (2008)	n/a
	" An impeccably mounted survey of voices from across the spectrum of African-American accomplishment." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Black List (2008)	n/a
	" *Basically Brick* for remedial viewers.*" Posted Jan 25, 2008*	Assassination of a High School President (2008)	60%
	" An alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility." Posted Jan 24, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	87%
	" An alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility." Posted Jan 23, 2008	The 4th Life (2008)	n/a
	" A brooding, atmospheric exercise in upscale psychological horror." Posted Jan 23, 2008	Broken (2008)	n/a
	" *An exceedingly odd meeting of the minds (and bodies) occurs in Quid Pro Quo, a strikingly original and provocative first feature from scribe-helmer Carlos Brooks." Posted Jan 23, 2008*	Quid Pro Quo (2008)	66%
	" Music-themed fests and Mideast programmers should make room on their playlists." Posted Jan 22, 2008	Slingshot Hip Hop (2008)	n/a
	" Pic succeeds to an impressive degree." Posted Jan 22, 2008	The Great Buck Howard (2008)	86%
	" This beguiling wisp of a film charms and maddens in equal measure." Posted Jan 22, 2008	The Guitar (2008)	n/a
	" This is conventional dramatic material played with an occasionally heavy hand, but sculpted with care and quiet assurance by helmer Neil Abramson." Posted Jan 22, 2008	American Son (2008)	100%
	" A fleet-footed study of human communication and its limitless structural and functional possibilities." Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Linguists (2008)	n/a
	" This strained heist comedy about three cash-strapped femmes is watchable enough for a few reels, but lacks the requisite wit and amoral energy to capitalize on its get-rich-quick premise." Posted Jan 14, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	21%
	" This second bigscreen adventure from the popular VeggieTales franchise should easily win over tots with its reliable menu of silly songs, easily digestible morals and wholesome (if not always fresh) produce-based characters." Posted Jan 10, 2008	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - A Veggietales Movie (2008)	41%
	" This diminishing-returns sequel sends Nicolas Cage on another quest to strike it rich, get young auds excited about history and solve puzzles that are generally less stimulating than yesterday's Sudoku." Posted Dec 21, 2007	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
	" *Though it strikes some predictable coming-of-age notes, this moving, well-wrought adventure should appeal to fans of E.T.* and Carroll Ballard.*" Posted Dec 13, 2007*	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
	" The film can't sustain this momentum en route to a highly calculated ending that departs from King's more ambiguous denouement to mostly shrug-worthy effect." Posted Nov 12, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
	" For all its visual sweep and propulsively violent action, this bloodthirsty rendition of the Old English epic can't overcome the disadvantage of being enacted by digital waxworks rather than flesh-and-blood Danes and demons." Posted Nov 12, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
	" A wanly likable road-trip comedy-drama about a young man's Peter Pan-like refusal to let go of his childhood." Posted Nov 7, 2007	Full Grown Men (2008)	40%
	" *Smart characters don't always mean smart movies, and The Genius Club* is no exception.*" Posted Nov 1, 2007*	The Genius Club (2006)	17%
	" Given the potentially unwieldy nature of the enterprise, [director] Benton juggles the multiple narratives with considerable grace, and succeeds in creating a warm (if somewhat improbable) sense of community among the principal characters." Posted Sep 25, 2007	Feast of Love (2007)	41%
	" *There's more genuine humor to be gleaned from saying 'Woodcock' over and over again than from watching Mr. Woodcock." Posted Sep 13, 2007*	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	13%
	" Draggy stretches in the first few reels could easily have been pruned from an already tight 83-minute running time." Posted Sep 11, 2007	Hatchet (2007)	47%
	" *Julie Taymor has delivered an audacious, idiosyncratic creation that plays like a riff on Hair* with Fab Four cachet, stretching a thin love story across one tumultuous decade.*" Posted Sep 11, 2007*	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
