1.5/4	"The movie is so routine that you welcome offbeat things like an alien who makes incredibly high-pitched noises. It's the sort of thing that might jolt you out of your sleep." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
2.5/4	"*At times, Journey* has an enjoyably stupid feel. At other times, it's simply stupid. But it does have one thing going for it: being released in 3D in many theaters.*" Posted Jul 11, 2008*	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/4	"*The plot has its share of holes, but for those who like shutting off their brains but discovering they might be thinking deeply anyway, Wanted* is a worthy diversion.*" Posted Jul 10, 2008*	Wanted (2008)	72%
2/4	"Any positive messages are practically drowned out by the film's relentless crude humor, much of which is too dumb to be all that funny." Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2.5/4	"In steering the film closer to his own vision, director Adamson steers it away from C.S. Lewis's, and so it loses some of the book's core spiritual themes." Posted May 18, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
3.5/4	"Unsettled raises all sorts of messy but important questions%u2014and it does so by immersing the viewer in the personal experiences of others in a most compassionate way." Posted May 9, 2008	Unsettled (2008)	100%
2.5/4	"The wounds of Abu Ghraib are still so fresh, we may not be ready to transcend them just yet." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
2.5/4	"All of this is packaged fairly entertainingly, and the action sequences are a marvel to behold, expertly combining physical stunts with computerized effects." Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
3/4	"Raunchy humor and genuine emotion typical of Apatow's films, but it lacks the moralizing and social commentary found in 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up" Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
3/4	"*While it is not quite of the same caliber as L. A. Confidential* and Dark Blue, it works well enough as a standard meat-and-potatoes example of its genre.*" Posted Apr 11, 2008*	Street Kings (2008)	36%
1.5/4	"It promises spectacle and action but fails to deliver all that much of either, and ends up being so dull it can't even be enjoyed for its camp value." Posted Mar 7, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
2/4	"*The film . . . ends up promising more than it can deliver. For all its epic locations, Jumper* remains pretty small-scale.*" Posted Feb 14, 2008*	Jumper (2008)	16%
2.5/4	"The film does affirm the basic message of the best kind of fairy tale: as with water, so with other things: there is more to this world than what we see on the surface." Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
2/4	"You will probably want to spend some time with Wikipedia after watching this film, and you may never look at famous monuments and presidential furniture in quite the same way again" Posted Dec 21, 2007	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
2.5/4	"There is a compelling movie in this somewhere, but the film as made lacks a certain momentum." Posted Dec 14, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
3/4	"It taises important questions about the relationship between honesty and kindness, and ends on a powerful note that asks whether there can ever be true mercy without, well, truth." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
2.5/4	"The Golden Compass wraps things up in less than two hours -- zipping from one plot point to the next -- and it feels rather rushed as a result." Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
3.5/4	"Juno has an implicit pro-life sensibility: Life is life, and deserves to be nurtured, even -- if not especially -- when everything around it is broken." Posted Dec 5, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
2/4	"A light, fanciful touch at times bolsters its "fairy tale" feel, but at times the story incorporates just enough "realistic" elements to drag the whole thing back down to earth." Posted Nov 21, 2007	August Rush (2007)	38%
1.5/4	"If there was ever a film that not only preached to the choir but threatened to put it to sleep, this is it." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
2/4	"The film feels lazily conventional. There are truths to be had here, but much of the film still rings false." Posted Nov 2, 2007	Martian Child (2007)	30%
3.5/4	"The film encourages us to look beyond the surface when we are dealing with people, and it just might be one of the more heart-warming and redemptive movies this year." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	81%
2.5/4	"As a straightforward introducition to the biblical story, it is arguably better than some of the splashier or more sensational movies out there." Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Ten Commandments (2007)	15%
2/4	"The Golden Age recycles much of the same basic material without offering any real insight into the woman or the times in which she lived" Posted Oct 12, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
2/4	"*As comedies go, The Game Plan* is srictly by the playbook, but Johnson is game for anything, and he does a fine job of entertaining the child in all of us.*" Posted Sep 29, 2007*	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
1.5/4	"If this film were one of his students, Mr. Woodcock would have every reason to tell it to take another lap." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	13%
2/4	"This movie, for all its quasi-realism, is never as inspiring, interesting, or disturbing as the stories to which it points." Posted Aug 18, 2007	The Last Legion (2007)	17%
2/4	"The bigger problem with this film is that it simply isn't very scary." Posted Aug 18, 2007	The Invasion (2007)	19%
3/4	"That rare threequel that stands up quite well to the movies that came before it, and it is easily one of the most satisfying action movies of the summer." Posted Aug 4, 2007	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	93%
1.5/4	"If ever there was a ceremony or ritual that needed to be called off, it is the one that begins with the act of buying a ticket for this movie." Posted Jul 11, 2007	License To Wed (2007)	8%
2/4	"A dark, grim, serious film, with little of the joy or whimsy that animated the first four movies." Posted Jul 11, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
3/4	"*Winterbottom's films are often shot in a gritty, realistic fashion, and A Mighty Heart, much of which was shot on location in Pakistan, is no exception." Posted Jun 22, 2007*	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
3/4	"Penguin lovers, rejoice. Your favorite flightless fowl have returned in what just might be one of the more innovative animated films to grace the multiplex in recent years." Posted Jun 20, 2007	Surf's Up (2007)	78%
1.5/4	"Some of the key players tend to be either off-putting or unconvincing." Posted Apr 30, 2007	The Invisible (2007)	19%
2.5/4	"While some moviegoers will want to talk about some of the really cool concepts the film explores, others will want to rip the movie apart." Posted Apr 27, 2007	Next (2007)	29%
1.5/4	"Once the actual fighting begins, the film turns dull and lifeless. From beginning to end, the film plods when it should pulse." Posted Apr 16, 2007	Pathfinder (2007)	11%
2/4	"*There is a strong sense around Meet the Robinsons* that the folks at Disney are trying to find their bearings. Which leaves the film itself looking kind of lost.*" Posted Apr 4, 2007*	Meet the Robinsons (2007)	66%
0/4	"If this is what the guys who run the studios think movies ought to be like, it's a wonder that anything good comes out of the studios at all." Posted Mar 23, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
2/4	"Pride has its heart in the right place, but it is so eager to conform to the demands of its genre that it misses the opportunity to explore the more unique aspects of swimming." Posted Mar 23, 2007	Pride ()	n/a
3/4	"*One of the most remarkable things about Beyond the Gates* is its refreshingly positive view of the role that faith can play even in the darkest of times.*" Posted Mar 16, 2007*	Beyond the Gates (2007)	83%
2.5/4	"Premonition has its merits, as a film about the need to love one's spouse today, for you never know what tomorrow will bring." Posted Mar 16, 2007	Premonition (2007)	8%
3/4	"A decent adaptation of Paterson's novel, and at times it is quite moving." Posted Feb 16, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	85%
2/4	"As a window into an older culture, or an evening's entertainment with the family, you could certainly do worse." Posted Feb 9, 2007	The Last Sin Eater (2007)	19%
3/4	"At first glance, it looks like it might be just another one of those films in which a white idealist liberates her non-white pupils, but thankfully, it's better than that." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Freedom Writers (2007)	69%
2.5/4	"Hudson goes over-the-top, then tops her over-the-topness, and it is entirely possible the Academy will reward her for her intensity -- but still, is this really acting?" Posted Jan 2, 2007	Dreamgirls (2006)	78%
3/4	"The purpose is to show us that Stallone and his creation have both still got it. All they ask is that we give them a chance. Thankfully, the new film rewards our indulgence." Posted Dec 20, 2006	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
2.5/4	"Gibson has made a bloody flick about death and social decay in a pagan culture, and he hints ever so obliquely that the world has not fared any better under we Christians." Posted Dec 8, 2006	Apocalypto (2006)	65%
3/4	"A family-friendly Christmas pageant, a Christmas cr�che brought to theatrical life." Posted Dec 1, 2006	The Nativity Story (2006)	39%
3/4	"Bobby may not make the case for its messiah as much as it would like to, but on its own terms, it is a reasonably moving portrayal of a society in need of salvation." Posted Nov 23, 2006	Bobby (2006)	45%
