	" Maher's journey's not about finding out what makes religious people tick, but about using the tics of mostly fringe religious people to prop up the thesis Maher came in with." -- SpoutBlog Posted Sep 16, 2008	Religulous (2008)	71%

	" 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)	67%

	" A stilted satire of teenage passion and apathy, sex and death and crime...so concerned with aping style that it never bothers to consider its characters as people." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	Art School Confidential (2006)	36%
	" Loaded with easy cynicism and even easier sadism, it's a beautifully orchestrated ideological disaster that shoots for social commentary but settles for lowest-blow shock." -- Cinematical Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005)	44%
