	"The Matrix creators Andy and Larry Wachowski barrel through this adaptation of the 60s animated series, hoping perhaps that no one will notice the story is as flat as roadkill." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
	"The felicitous pairing of Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher overcomes the mechanical setup of this amiable screwball comedy about mismatched Manhattanites who wed in Las Vegas following a drunken first date." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	29%
	"Kofman includes real-life Holocaust survivors in his cast, a bold and unsettling stroke in a fictional story that's more challenging than most documentaries about the subject." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 7, 2008	The Memory Thief (2008)	83%
	"The comic scenes can be arch or shrill, but director Marcos Siega (Pretty Persuasion) does better when the story turns somber and the emotions feel genuine." -- Chicago Reader Posted Apr 11, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	30%
	"The celebrated Israeli author Etgar Keret and his wife, screenwriter Shira Geffen, directed this luminous foray into magic realism, Tel Aviv style." -- Chicago Reader Posted Apr 2, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	81%
	"Labaki elicits expressive performances from a cast of amateurs, aided by Khalad Mouzanar's entrancing score and Yves Sehnaoui's lush cinematography." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 28, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
	"This nuanced coming-of-age drama by Cao Hamburger exudes warmth without getting mired in nostalgia." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	84%
	"A macabre comedy of manners with the sting of dry ice, this 2007 ensemble piece captures the social climate of America in the late 40s." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 14, 2008	Married Life (2008)	55%
	"Jeff Wadlow directed this exploitation flick, which seems designed for students on spring break." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	" The tolerance and loopy poetry of the beloved book by Dr. Seuss have been nicely captured in this CGI adaptation." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 14, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	"The comedian Sinbad once said that Hollywood seeks out original talents but then tries to make them just like everyone else. A case in point is Martin Lawrence." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 10, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
	"Overblown and stupefyingly dull." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 7, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"In one slender documentary codirectors Shane King and Arne Johnson accomplish what Hollywood routinely bungles: incisively depicting the inner lives of complicated young females." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 6, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	76%
	"More tart than sweet, this contemporary fairy tale provides a worthy vehicle for the fearless Christina Ricci." -- Chicago Reader Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	53%
	"Meticulously rendered CGI creatures spike this dark adventure, shot marvelously by Caleb Deschanel." -- Chicago Reader Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	"This stale comedy about a vengeful ghost would be depressing if it weren't so disposable." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 31, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	13%
	"Feels derivative of 28 Days Later." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 11, 2008	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%
	"This heist comedy has a hackneyed introduction, and its feel-good ending lacks credibility, but the big, funny chunk in the middle marks writer-director-producer David E. Talbert as a talent to watch." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 10, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	15%
	"Profoundly moving." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
	"The bad guys' omnipotence at nearly every turn dilutes the film's suspense." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 4, 2008	Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	80%
	"How Posey's neurotic, self-destructive heroine finds her way to healing is the core of this generous film, whose moral is that happiness can't begin unless you're open to its possibility." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 3, 2008	Broken English (2007)	64%
	"Director Jay Russell grounds the fantasy in serious drama, with enough slapstick to keep it from getting too scary for tots." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 25, 2007	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
	"Fresh Manhattan locations prove as photogenic as the leads, and the supporting actors -- especially Tina Benko as a glacial, impeccably dressed amazon -- don't miss a beat of Maggenti's snappy dialogue." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 17, 2007	Puccini for Beginners (2007)	49%
	"Alvin, Theodore, and Simon have the only good lines or recognizable emotions, with Jason Lee and David Cross straining to flesh out their cardboard roles." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 13, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	24%
	"This 2005 story about a Russian boy whose mother has given him up may be derivative, but it's still engrossing, largely because of its appealing juvenile lead, Kolya Spiridonov." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 4, 2007	The Italian (2007)	91%
	"Sam Riley is fascinating as Curtis, a hypersensitive young man hobbled by his incurable disease, and Samantha Morton is poignant as his put-upon wife." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 3, 2007	Control (2007)	87%
	"This carefully observed film has lots of heart." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	53%
	"Disney goes meta in this witty, exuberant musical comedy whose parody and nostalgia serve a sweet and affecting romance." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	94%
	"An exercise in dissonance." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	August Rush (2007)	37%
	"This romantic drama by director Mike Newell preserves the odd playfulness of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's international best seller but sacrifices its eroticism and intricate nonlinear plotting." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 16, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
	"Like the store, the movie is chockablock with playthings -- puns, graphics, and music -- that make the life lessons easier to absorb." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 16, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"This offbeat biopic is driven by Ron Livingston's engaging performance as Richard Pimentel, a gifted public speaker who lost his hearing in the Vietnam war and then spearheaded the disability rights movement in the U.S." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 2, 2007	Music Within (2007)	31%
	"The strain is obvious in the story's last third, as the filmmaker struggles toward a resolution that fits the logic of the hero's netherworld." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 2, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	66%
	"A luminous, highly erotic treatise on art, love, and death." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Garden of Earthly Delights (2004)	67%
	"Almost every note in this insipid comedy is strident or false." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
	"A murky screenplay leaves most of the humans ciphers, save for Hal Holbrook in an exquisitely calibrated performance as the avuncular desert retiree whose advice McCandless should have heeded." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 27, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
	"A flimsy plot about Korean spies leads to a climactic sight gag involving an enhanced version of George W. Bush's forefinger, but it's all window dressing for the main attraction: lots of bouncing T & A." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)	30%
	"Scenes are thus punctuated by as many jump cuts as punch lines--a technique that amplifies the sly humor." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Boss of it All (2007)	73%
	"Rajnesh Domalpalli made this poignant 2006 drama as his thesis film for a master's degree at Columbia University, yet its technique and development of character and theme are far more accomplished than those of most student films." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 14, 2007	Vanaja (2007)	81%
	"This 2006 film heightens our sympathy for the photogenic young guys and underscores the inherent irony of their lives." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 7, 2007	9 Star Hotel (2006)	63%
	"The set-up is tediously slow, while the later murders are packed so tightly it's like watching a blender on high speed." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 4, 2007	Halloween (2007)	27%
	"Director Bendelack and writer-producer McBurney aim for the comedy of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati, relying heavily on sight gags and their star's pratfalls and facial contortions, but they vititate the comic payoffs by allowing scenes to run too long." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 23, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
	"The juvenile actors come off as movie brats, and the pacing is slowed by treacly speeches about father-son bonding. As a child star on The Wonder Years, director Fred Savage worked with some of TV's best, but you'd never guess it from this." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 9, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
	"Chan shows he still has the chops during a showdown at the Eiffel Tower, but you'd think the movie's reported budget of $140 million might have bought Tucker at least one side-splitting gag." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 9, 2007	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
	"Darkly satiric." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 3, 2007	The Ten (2007)	39%
	"Watching these endangered species evolve new approaches to hunting and shelter is fascinating, but the movie is seriously marred by a cloying screenplay and such kid-pleasing touches as shots of walruses belching and farting." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 3, 2007	Arctic Tale (2007)	62%
	"It's not scary because not one second is believable." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 16, 2007	Captivity (2007)	7%
	"Blethyn creates sympathy for a manipulative, prickly character who's struggling to redefine her roles onstage and off. Director Cherie Nowlan steers the comedy to a feel-good ending." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 13, 2007	Introducing The Dwights (2007)	52%
	"This is the bleakest Potter installment to date, and under David Yates's choppy direction, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Brendan Gleeson, and David Thewlis have little more than walk-ons." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 12, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
