6.5/10	"A broad comedy that occasionally suffers for its leads' lack of comic chemistry...it takes the film a while to work through the stereotypes it traffics in before it can critique them." -- SpoutBlog Posted Jul 9, 2008	I'm Through With White Girls (2007)	n/a
	"[A] stunningly confident, category-defying, broken-down dream piece about loss and being lost...irresistible. " -- SpoutBlog Posted Jul 9, 2008	La France (2007)	100%
	"It's an infectiously personal work...a sterling example of animation meant resolutely for adults." -- SpoutBlog Posted Jun 23, 2008	Sita Sings the Blues (2008)	n/a
	"A pleasingly gauzy bit of nostalgia that feels softer and less cynical than anything I've previously seen in a [Shane] Meadows film." -- SpoutBlog Posted Jun 19, 2008	Somers Town (2008)	n/a
	"More convincing as sex fantasy than political allegory, Iron Man suggests the answer to combating Them is for Us to reestablish the link between mechanized killing and the body." -- SpoutBlog Posted Jun 19, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	"[Maddin]'s basically playing at being a Busby Berkeley for the chronically depressed and/or cheerfully repressed." -- SpoutBlog Posted Jun 19, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	97%

N/A	"Cannes Diary: The Movie That Wasn't There: The SEX AND THE CITY movie is not at Cannes but, thanks to VOGUE, it's on my mind on the way out there." -- SpoutBlog Posted May 16, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"The John Cusack 'comedy' (generic term used loosely) gives anti-war filmmaking a bad name." -- SpoutBlog Posted Apr 28, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
	"Standard Operation Procedure frustrates more than it enlightens, but to hear Morris tell it, that's part of the plan. 'It's not a movie that can provide an answer to every question%u2013%u2013far from it... It's a movie that raises questions, and i" -- SpoutBlog Posted Apr 25, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
	"With its full-on, fully uncritical glorification of adolescent male self-indulgence and permanent immaturity, The Wackness is a kind of cinematic embodiment of certain tendencies that make the sub-AICN movie web go round." -- SpoutBlog Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
N/A	"Mary Bronstein, Greta Gerwig and Amy Judd talk about the difficulties of female frienship, why movies don't have to make you feel good, and why sometimes, you just need a "cock punch."" -- SpoutBlog Posted Mar 17, 2008	Yeast (2008)	n/a

	"The DVD cover tagline is "sex is the ultimate weapon," but of course, it's only about sex at all insofar as it's about the relationship of sex to everything else." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 19, 2008	The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972)	77%

	"A shorter cut, stripped of some of the forced multiculturalism and contemporary political references, would play like gangbusters in middle schools." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
6.5/10	"Davenport seems to be projecting her disappointments concerning the entirety of the Iraq situation onto Muthana, thereby excusing herself from culpability in his individual plight." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	Operation Filmmaker (2008)	92%
	"An almost excessively beautiful aestheticization of misery." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%

	"Working through [Jason] Schwartzman as an alter-ego seems to recharge Anderson's ability to marry pitch-perfect style to emotional honesty." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
	"Probably the most lovingly photographed stripper movie of all time." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	Go Go Tales ()	50%
	"*Times Square may be a sanitized tourist trap to you and me, but in Jones, it's a blank screen for an actual tourist's fantasies of liberation." -- SpoutBlog* Posted Feb 4, 2008	Jones (2007)	n/a
	"Tim Burton's Goth opera may be bloody, but it's most disturbing when it's talking about love." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
	"Mounts a surprisingly sophisticated argument...that steroid criminalization amounts to hating the player whilst willfully ignoring the dynamics of the game." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 4, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%

	"Tells as powerful a story about the New Orleans diaspora as I've seen on film, from an angle unfamiliar. It plays out like a love story." -- SpoutBlog Posted Feb 2, 2008	Trouble the Water (2008)	n/a
7.5/10	"Appears at first glance to be either a violent attack on the white working poor, or not aggressive enough in its critique of the cultural degradation of that social class." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Bubble (2006)	71%
	"Something like a Luis Bunuel film, but with politics replaced by fashion. It is, essentially, a hipster wet dream." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Science of Sleep (2006)	69%
	"Will not please devotees of narrative closure, but it's a must for anyone who lives by our hero's credo: 'If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't try at all.'" -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Factotum (2006)	75%
	"There's a rawness to [it]...it paints slick composition and beautiful, bleeding color on the kind of story about sex and faith that no one has told well in a while." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Stephanie Daley (2007)	89%
	"Bobcat Goldthwait has produced a flm that understands something about the gulf between what men claim they want from women, and the way they behave when we give it to them. " -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)	63%
	"It's possibly Alan Berliner's most personal documentary ever." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Wide Awake (2006)	80%
	"A cheap Sisyphean metaphor literally drives the thing: at first played for laughs, it's recycled to the point of nausea. " -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	91%
