	"It's a sweet, low-key charmer." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Grocer's Son (2008)	82%
	"The movie could be about koala bears or unicorns or leprechauns with just a few small revisions to the screenplay." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
3/4	"Ambitious and relentlessly dark and altogether better than its predecessor." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2.5/4	"The storytelling is still stuck in the 1950s, but the modern 3-D technology is pretty impressive at times in this family adventure." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/4	"Beastie Boy Adam Yauch shoots and scores with this documentary that follows eight elite high-school basketball players showcasing their skills along with 16 other prospects in an all-star game at Harlem's (in)famous Rucker Park court." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
2.5/4	"*Writer-director Peter Tolan has glibness down pat, but can't quite wring the intended pathos from his characters' desperate lives. He does, however, give Broderick his best part since Election." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 27, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
2.5/4	"It manages to be brutal, deranged, ridiculous and heart-rending, all at once." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Unknown Woman (2008)	62%
3/4	"It's Trumbo's words -- unfiltered and often unhinged -- that make this doc worth seeing." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Trumbo (2008)	71%
2.5/4	"Red-Bull-fueled adolescent male fantasy cribs from the past, while offering a few brain-splatting diversions of its own." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
3/4	"*But then, Kit,* written by Ann Peacock and directed by Patricia Rozema, is that rare all-ages movie that never talks down to its audience and isn't afraid to use history to illuminate current times.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
1/4	"It's a movie that spoofs intelligence in the most unintelligent way possible and stretches the boundaries of plot-free filmmaking into frontiers until now explored only by former cast members of Saturday Night Live." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3/4	"It's creepy, silly fun. And if it came from anyone else, it would be recognized as such. One thing is certain: The man hasn't lost his ability to entertain." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
3/4	"It's a great premise, and the movie rarely disappoints. (OK, we didn't need the song-and-dance number, but still ...) Hynes has style to spare and storytelling chops. The low-key Go-Getter is well worth discovering." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Go-Getter (2008)	40%
2.5/4	"Conrad has the humanity part down. Even if his little film is something of a mess, that counts for something." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
3.5/4	"*DreamWorks Animation's best movie since Shrek." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
3/4	"The raw power of this unassuming snapshot would make Vittorio De Sica proud." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	95%
3.5/4	"Going beyond merely being a devil's advocate, Bell makes for an intelligent, engaging presence, forgoing the annoying forced naivet� proffered by Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock for tough compassion." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	96%
2/4	"Flabby, unfocused reunion in which the emotional content is drowned out by the incessant pursuit and plugging of designer shoes, gowns and handbags." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"[Director] Bialis chronicles all this with perhaps too much thoroughness. But, given the nature of the subject, you get the sense that she doesn't want to leave out any voice, no matter if they add little in the way of new information." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 22, 2008	Refusenik (2008)	94%
	"It's a heroic story, but one delivered in a ploddingly familiar fashion with beautiful actors doing their best to give their noble characters a trace of humanity. The film's lack of emotional vibrancy is rather remarkable given the historical events." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 22, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
3/4	"*Ford, like Spielberg, is completely in his comfort zone here. That means no risks, but in the case of The Crystal Skull, that kind of safety can still yield plenty of old-fashioned fun." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	" Stylish thriller a return to form for New Wave vet Lelouch." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	87%
	"A bracing portrait of a country divided." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Unsettled (2008)	100%
3.5/4	"The movie also contains many moments of joy and humor, folded into a fantastic, shifting structure that keeps the film wildly alive. It's an impressive first film." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Reprise (2008)	89%
	"Director Michel Hazanavicius and screenwriter Jean-Francois Halin have steered the film away from the coarseness of the Austin Powers movies toward something a bit more elegant and cinematic, though still shamelessly silly." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)	77%
	"[This] movie symbolizes the continued erosion of the Merchant Ivory brand into an entity producing films that belong on cable television, not in movie theaters." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 9, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	43%
	"A PG-13 sitcom rom-com that desperately wants to be a Judd Apatow movie when it grows up, Tom Vaughan's flat film mixes screwball comedy with self-help clich�s to tired effect." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
3/4	"*Hunt writes, directs and stars in a rough-edged indie alternative to Baby Mama." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Apr 25, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
	"*The enjoyable-enough comedy Baby Mama* may appear to have a few women's issues on its mind, but it's really a female Odd Couple that gets by on the considerable comic talents of its stars.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Apr 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
1/4	"[Director] Perelman applies a rigorous visual beauty to this thin gimmick of a movie." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
1/4	"Spurlock's deliberately facile method might make his movie palatable to moviegoers resistant to serious documentaries that include actual information." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
	"It does pull off the neat trick of making each passing minute more idiotic than the last, which is nothing short of amazing since the movie is risible from the get-go." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
	"*The movie is writer-director Tom McCarthy's follow-up to his 2003 debut, the well-liked The Station Agent, and it shares that film's offbeat, humanistic spirit." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Apr 11, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"There's not a shot fired in the film, but it pierces the heart nonetheless." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 11, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	94%
3/4	"Originally made for AMC, its solid collection of clips does illustrate one salient point: Depicting evil poorly is a sin unto itself." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 4, 2008	Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2007)	86%
2/4	"The movie aims to be an unbridled sex farce, but the sex is never all that hot and the jokes are rarely all that funny." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 4, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	27%
	"It's a train-wreck turn in a dreary movie about a self-pitying loser responsible for murdering a beloved pop icon." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 4, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
1/4	"As we watch Irene and Jean prostitute themselves with their weathered, moneyed marks, the vibe isn't playful or mischievous but tedious and vulgar. The accommodations might be four-star, but the movie is strictly Motel 6." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 28, 2008	Priceless (2008)	83%
3/4	"*Adam Carrola makes for a pretty agreeable leading man in The Hammer, a movie tailor-made to the comic strengths of the radio/TV personality." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	71%
1.5/4	"Strictly infantile." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 21, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
	"Instead of inescapable, the ending seems perfunctory and somewhat ridiculous. You don't feel the horror when we get to those final shots -- only relief that the movie is over." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 14, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
	"*As long as it sticks to Seuss -- which, given the brevity of the book, amounts to about a third of the 88-minute running time -- Horton* makes for charming, kid-friendly entertainment.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Mar 14, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	"A pulpy piece of formulaic genre entertainment that couches its nonviolent message in a series of over-the-top, sweaty smack-downs designed to please YouTube's Backyard Brawl Bunch." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
2.5/4	"It's an imitation of life, all right, but without much to say about it." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 7, 2008	Married Life (2008)	57%
3.5/4	"Chow delivers a real heart-tugger full of comic invention and a genuine sense of wonder too often lacking in the fantasy genre." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 7, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
2.5/4	"This is a family movie that parents can actually take young children to see and not cringe while they're watching." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 7, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
	"This streamlined adaptation of Philippa Gregory's fanciful historical novel is fine fun." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
3/4	"[Director] Ruzowitzky refreshingly keeps the movie free from any pat answers, letting the audience members imagine what course of action they might take in similar circumstances." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 22, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
2.5/4	"An episodic fairy tale that dazzles the eyes and sometimes tries the patience." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 22, 2008	Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008)	60%
2.5/4	"The movie is all over the map in tone, and though Downey brings obvious empathy to his alcoholic character, his adversarial relationship with Charlie feels fake and forced. Bueller vs. Rooney was more believably bruising, not to mention much funnier." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
