3/5
 
" It's refreshingly snarky and quick." -- New York Daily News
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Breakfast with Scot (2008)55%
/
3/5
 
" Is it possible to enjoy the company of the world's most irritating woman? Mike Leigh's surprisingly sunny dramedy makes a pretty good case that, in fact, it is." -- New York Daily News
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)95%
/
2.5/5
 
" The actual plot is so uselessly convoluted you'd get a headache just reading it -- but you might want to pull out the Advil anyway, given Ritchie's reliance on flashy editing, a blasting soundtrack and fetishized gunplay." -- New York Daily News
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
RocknRolla (2008)55%
/
3/5
 
" And though the film ultimately falls short of its considerable promise, there's more than enough here to keep thoughtful moviegoers - of any age - intrigued." -- New York Daily News
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
City of Ember (2008)45%
/
5/5
 
" A film that is both deceptively modest and deeply resonant." -- New York Daily News

3/5
 
" A premise this promising should have developed into something more." -- New York Daily News

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)72%
/
2.5/5
 
" It's an increasingly rare pleasure to see two naturally aging adults onscreen, and it's not exactly hard work to watch this still-gorgeous pair fall in love. Especially if you're overdue for a little vacation from reality yourself." -- New York Daily News
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)29%
/
2.5/5
 
" Lee takes nearly three hours to tell this sad tale, but he never makes the most of the opportunity." -- New York Daily News

Appaloosa (2008)75%

3/5
 
" There's a gentle beauty in these long, anguished silences, and Wang and his actors make the most of it." -- New York Daily News

A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2008)67%

1/5
 
" Rarely has there been a movie as misguided as Hounddog, which self-righteously indulges in exploitation while loudly decrying it." -- New York Daily News

" Leave it to the unfailingly brilliant Gervais to breathe new life into an expiring genre." -- New York Daily News

4/5
 
" When film critic Godfrey Cheshire decided to make a movie of his own, he found the ideal subject right in his backyard." -- New York Daily News
Posted Sep 11, 2008
 
Moving Midway (2008)92%
/
1/5
 
" Is it an exaggeration to call The Women the worst movie of the year? Well, yeah, probably. But it may be the most disappointing, given all the effort that went into it." -- New York Daily News
Posted Sep 11, 2008
 
The Women (2008)10%
/
2/5
 
" A decidedly lightweight amusement, the first comedy from documentary filmmaker Jessica Yu is the sort of movie that works best if you keep your expectations low." -- New York Daily News
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Ping Pong Playa (2008)68%
/
1/5
 
" With a title like this, shouldn't Jason Todd Ipson's comedy celebrate Italian culture? Instead, it aggressively insults the heritage it pretends to admire." -- New York Daily News
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Everybody Wants to be Italian (2008)0%
/
1/5
 
" An abysmal French thriller in which everyone -- Diesel included -- speaks as if they've learned their lines phonetically." -- New York Daily News

/
1/5
 
" Why would you watch a bad movie about better movies, when you could just rent the originals instead?" -- New York Daily News

Disaster Movie (2008)2%
/
4/5
 
" A film as unique as this is a gift that shouldn't be ignored. And if Menzel once again finds the audience he deserves, we won't have to wait years for another." -- New York Daily News

" A lightweight goof that feels a little dashed-off, the latest from cult director Takashi Miike won't earn him any new fans, but might entertain the many he's already got." -- New York Daily News
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)58%
/
3/5
 
" David Kaplan's sweet, if superficial, fairy tale won't change the world, but it makes nice use of its setting (Chinatown) and visual style (rotoscope animation)." -- New York Daily News
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Year of the Fish (2008)55%
/
4/5
 
" A little miracle, Azazel Jacobs' lovely story of a life lost and found tackles big issues -- love, maturity, fulfillment -- in deceptively modest fashion." -- New York Daily News

Momma's Man (2008)96%
/
2.5/5
 
" Fortunately, Coogan remains impressively unafraid of humiliation, pushing every joke just far enough to keep us watching. But he deserves more." -- New York Daily News

Hamlet 2 (2008)63%
/
1.5/5
 
" Well, you've got to say this for Death Race: It knows what it is and doesn't apologize for it. What it is, incidentally, is junk." -- New York Daily News

Death Race (2008)43%
/
2.5/5
 
" While nobody's expecting This Is Spinal Tap, both the audience and the cast -- which is strong all around -- deserve better than the generic script and bland direction here." -- New York Daily News

The Rocker (2008)35%
/
3.5/5
 
" The steady spray of jokes ricochets with machine-gun force, hitting dozens of worthy targets." -- New York Daily News

Tropic Thunder (2008)83%

" Be warned: The opening ceremonies for the 2008 Olympics might look a ­little different if you see Makoto Sasa's disturbing documentary beforehand." -- New York Daily News

2/5
 
" More enthusiastic than genuinely entertaining." -- New York Daily News

Bottle Shock (2008)45%
/
2/5
 
" How ironic that a biopic about charismatic punk legend Darby Crash -- lead singer of the Germs in the late '70s -- would be so unmemorably bland." -- New York Daily News
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
What We Do Is Secret (2008)46%
/
1/5
 
" Where the biker films of the late '60s and early '70s offered edgy, amusingly cheesy thrills, this sputtering effort is as rusty as an unrestored Triumph Bonneville." -- New York Daily News

Hell Ride (2008)11%
/
3/5
 
" No matter how serious the subject matter, this is an unabashed fantasy for tweens and teens." -- New York Daily News

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)63%
/
3/5
 
" By the end, Holdridge has captured the bittersweet complexities of romance with a wisdom that proves surprisingly seductive." -- New York Daily News

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)85%

Baghead (2008)78%
/
3/5
 
" In Nanette Burstein's high school documentary, every kid is either a brain, an athlete, a basket case or a princess. Still, Burstein makes a strong case that there's a lot of truth to those clichés." -- New York Daily News
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
American Teen (2008)69%
/
3/5

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)32%
/
2/5

A Very British Gangster (2008)67%

3/5
 
" Who could have guessed that nearly 35 years after its release, Lou Reed's once-reviled concept album Berlin would inspire a sold-out concert, shot with loving awe by Julian Schnabel?" -- New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)76%
/
2.5/5
 
" The costumes look cheap, the choreography is clunky, and the cinematography's terrible - a real shame, given the gorgeous setting." -- New York Daily News

Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
2.5/5
 
" Zeta-Jones and Pearce don't have much chemistry, the script lacks any significant depth and the direction feels oddly uninspired." -- New York Daily News

Death Defying Acts (2008)46%
/
3/5
 
" There's not much to it, but Austin Chick's hyper-focused indie does serve as a nicely assured showcase for lead Josh Hartnett." -- New York Daily News

August (2008)35%
/
4/5
 
" The inventive del Toro creates visual fantasies unlike any other, and the creatures on display here are truly extraordinary. But amid all the costumes, all the action, and all the special effects, it's the humanity that makes his work so memorable." -- New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%
/
2/5
 
" There's a great idea here, but it's buried within a muddled story that lurches between dark comedy and maudlin drama." -- New York Daily News

Hancock (2008)38%
/
3/5
 
" Though Argento and Aattou lack the searing chemistry needed, the social politics are consistently intriguing, and everything -- not to mention everyone -looks absolutely stunning." -- New York Daily News
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
The Last Mistress (2008)76%
/
2/5
 
" Friedlander offers a nicely subtle performance, but the other actors -- including Alan Cumming, Deborah Harry and Amy Sedaris -- appear to have turned up as a favor to the director. Don't feel obliged to follow their lead." -- New York Daily News

Full Grown Men (2008)40%

" Tolan writes regularly for smart shows like Rescue Me, but his best instincts deserted him when he set his sights on the big screen for the first time." -- New York Daily News
