N/A	"Guy Maddin: 'I lost my virginity to Lorne Greene narrating Lorne Greene's Nature Wildlife Theatre. I think he was talking about how bugs gnaw each other's heads off while screwing. And here I was, not losing my head at all.'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 25, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	97%
2.5/4	"No classic, but it does hold interest, in part by dealing honestly with the intriguing religious themes and in part for its fine cast." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	71%
4/4	"*Despite the film's incredible specificity as one man's take on one city, the wistful My Winnipeg* achieves a powerful universality.*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jul 25, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	97%
2.5/4	"Interesting enough as a symbolic drama of conflicting and conflicted beliefs. But this is also supposed to be a spooky movie, right?" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
2.5/4	"*Though its comedy is nearly as undisciplined and juvenile as its heroes, Step Brothers* generates a fair number of laughs. Surprises? Not so much.*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%
N/A	"Matthew Goode: '[We] flesh out a few things in Adrian Veidt's past...So he has a kind of private, now, and a public persona. And may or may not have American and German accents.'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 24, 2008	Watchmen (2009)	n/a
N/A	"Matthew Goode: 'There's so many levels to Charles throughout that it's just--I mean, I would have been an idiot not to have wanted to have taken the role on.'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 24, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	71%
N/A	"David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson: [Duchovny:] 'There is a journey to be had. So you either have to start on top or on the bottom for a journey to happen. You can't start at the middle.'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 23, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
N/A	"Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz: [Carter:] 'There's a beef recall. Mulder's a cross-dresser. Aah, I'm not going to tell you, only because you really don't want to know...'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 23, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
2.5/4	"More of a marketing sensation than a cinematic one...a documentary shouldn't feel this packaged." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 22, 2008	American Teen (2008)	67%
3.5/4	"A bold and credible effort to dramatize contemporary political history. [DVD]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Deal (2003)	n/a
1.5/4	"Watchable...[but] a time-waster, with an insulting ending that unfortunately takes it down a few pegs. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 21, 2008	Urban Legend (1998)	21%
2/4	"A reasonably well-made low-end pic that serves as a cautionary tale for callow teens. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 21, 2008	I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)	38%
3/4	"Complete fluff, and proud of it...Once you adjust your senses, however, you're bound to submit to this vacation of a movie." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
4/4	"Ledger slips into the purple suit as if it were an animal skin for a primal, archetypal dance...Nolan's richly realized adaptation of a modern American mythology fulfills our faith in the material and its interpreters." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2/4	"Eddie, it's time to start thinking big again." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
2/4	"Competent but somewhat slack, modest (and modestly budgeted) shocker that doesn't work quite hard enough to justify its plot mechanics. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	47%
2.5/4	"The young lads in your family will thank you for taking them, but I'm not sure about anyone else." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/4	"The line from special effects whiz Ray Harryhausen to director Guillermo del Toro has never been so clearly visible..." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
3/4	"Ron Perlman--the Lon Chaney of our time--plays Hellboy with grit, humor, and a depth of feeling which, barely, grounds the movie." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 5, 2008	Hellboy (2004)	80%
3.5/4	"May not be the definitive doc for which Thompson's fans may be hoping, but it is a worthy contribution to the ongoing popular legend of a distinctive American personality." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 4, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%
2.5/4	"Wilson proves again that he's a quick-witted comedic treasure—he's the sort of actor who gets hired to make mediocre movies almost good by his sheer force of comic will. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 2, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
N/A	"Masi Oka & Nate Torrence: [Oka:] It's splitting Q into two parts. Bruce and Lloyd make up one gadget guy, in reality. They're just two different parts of one person..." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 1, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
N/A	"Masi Oka & Nate Torrence: [Oka:] It's splitting Q into two parts. Bruce and Lloyd make up one gadget guy, in reality. They're just two different parts of one person..." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 1, 2008	Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control (2007)	n/a
2/4	"Asks us to believe the terrorists would, after slaughtering countless people, risk their entire plan--and their very lives--on...well, I won't say. But from my vantage point, it was ridiculous." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 1, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
2.5/4	"Qualifies as a sort of cinematic comfort food: it's the mac and cheese of the cineplex." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 1, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
2.5/4	"Consistently stylish, dumb, and entertaining." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jul 1, 2008	Point Break (1991)	68%
2.5/4	"*The second half gets so worked up over itself that Hancock* becomes nearly unrecognizable as the movie we were all enjoying twenty minutes earlier.*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3.5/4	"You have a rendezvous with Dirty Harry's 62-year-old ass! And if you don't know what that means, you'd better figure it out!" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 30, 2008	In the Line of Fire (1993)	97%
3.5/4	"The impact is all in the broad strokes of Scorsese's design: the corresponding coming-of-age stories of three confused and violent adolescents: Amsterdam Vallon, New York City, and America. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 30, 2008	Gangs of New York (2002)	76%
3/4	"*After the wayward kids' stuff of Kids WB's The Batman, Batman: Gotham Knight's adult tone and visual wonderment are like (bat-)manna from heaven." -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jun 30, 2008	Batman - Gotham Knight (2008)	n/a
2.5/4	"Doesn't have a nuance in it, but it's pretty consistently amusing in its latter-day Woody Allen way. For most of the way, its morals are happily, believably wrong, but all bad things must come to an end." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 27, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
3/4	"A Discovery Channel production about Antarctica that breaks the mold with Herzog's eccentric musings and auteur's eye." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 27, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	95%
3/4	"*Disturbing in the extreme, Savage Grace* gives a guided history tour of a family as dysfunctional as they come.*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jun 27, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
3/4	"It's best not to ask too many questions during Wall-E...Take the film's outstretched hand and go with it. That's the best way to enjoy a film that's as charming as a tale of two robots falling in love can be." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3/4	"Delivers slam-bang action entertainment, and does it while putting a surprising twist on the archetypal heroic journey." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 24, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
3.5/4	"So satisfying because it works on a few complimentary levels: as a coming-of-age story tracking innocence to experience, as an accounting of revolutionary and feminist struggles, and as an artful visual experience in cartoon form. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 23, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	96%
3/4	"*For a movie about magical beasts, The Spiderwick Chronicles* does an awfully good job of pegging childhood emotional realities, particularly in a context of divorce. [Blu-Ray]*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jun 23, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
2.5/4	"As for Squires' outlandish behavior and Kingsley's theatrical performance, they're entertaining, but very hard to believe. The film lives more comfortably in the milieu of '90s youth culture..." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 23, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
3.5/4	"Profane, hallucinogenic, and wickedly satirical, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers mainlined a message from hell (a.k.a. modern America, as seen by Stone) into mall theatres and multiplexes. [Blu-Ray]" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 23, 2008	Natural Born Killers (1994)	50%
N/A	"Andrew Stanton: 'The big myth--I've been asked this for fifteen years. And we'll give it the same answer fifteen years from now. We never think of who our audience is. We always just made the movies we want to see.'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 23, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3.5/4	"Thomas Wolfe wrote, "You can't go home again," but the new film from Fatih Akin explores a number of ways one can." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
1.5/4	"Hello, police? I'd like to report a mugging. Oh, it was horrible, horrible! Yes, I'm safe now. The mugging took place in a movie theatre, but I fear the mugger will strike again!" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
2.5/4	"For the summer months, it'll do nicely, and we can all thank our lucky stars that we get Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart..." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3/4	"*In a Barbie world, American Girl Kit Kittredge is a hero, and Kit Kittredge: An American Girl* is heroic.*" -- Groucho Reviews* Posted Jun 18, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3/4	"Every time you see a comedic eye-gouging or an errant board swinging around and catching someone in the face, it's a passed torch that was held for decades by the Three Stooges." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 18, 2008	Three Stooges Collection - 1937 - 1939, The ()	n/a
2/4	"It's engrossing one minute and stupefying the next, off and on, off and on, for ninety minutes." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 16, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
3.5/4	"Like his wee alter ego, ten-year-old Huey Freeman, McGruder sees himself as hopefully out of step with society--radical, in fact--self-confident, and determined to effect change by any means necessary." -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 16, 2008	The Boondocks - Complete Second Season ()	n/a
N/A	"Chris O'Donnell: 'I've never been much of a car guy myself. And I've been known to crash a few. I think I crashed the Batmobile when we were filming, which I never heard the end of...'" -- Groucho Reviews Posted Jun 15, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
