	"The key image is a close-up of Murphy's gleaming choppers, but aside from that the movie is toothless." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
	"The edifying lesson -- that helping others brings out the best in us -- should sit well with everyone." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 1, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"Visually stunning, this documentary by Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Yung Chang is part travelogue, part social critique of China's economic miracle and the sweeping cultural changes it is forcing in its wake." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 26, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%
	"Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton tops himself with this adorably loopy Pixar animation that sends up consumerism, musicals, Apple computers, and 2001: A Space Odyssey." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
	"With its scatological humor, penis jokes, feeble puns, and middle-school ideal of love, this Mike Myers vehicle exemplifies American comedy's continuing slide into infantilism." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
	"Julianne Moore proves game for anything in this pitch-black true-crime reconstruction, where she stars as mercurial socialite Barbara Baekeland, wife of the taciturn heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune (virtuoso Stephen Dillane)." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 13, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
	"An example of advocacy filmmaking at its most inspired." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Dhamma Brothers (2008)	82%
	"Wahlberg turns in one of his worst performances ever, but then he's saddled with preposterous scenes (like one where he tries to placate a ficus) and such lame lines as "Could this really be happening?" Funny, I was wondering the same thing myself." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"*There's enough adrenaline pulsating throughout this bang-up Marvel Comics adaptation to erase 2003's Hulk* from memory (Ang who?).*" -- Chicago Reader* Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"Director Roger Spottiswoode uses the children and action sequences to good effect, but a lack of chemistry between Rhys Meyers and Mitchell makes the love story fizzle." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
	"Though a bunch of the jokes are milked too thin, there are some absurdly goofy sight gags, and a lineup of fun, silly cameos by guests from Chris Rock to Mariah Carey." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
	"Coying and manipulative." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 30, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	97%

	"The melodrama form allows Tornatore to examine such current issues as human trafficking and black-market babies within a yarn that, for all its sentiment, is never less than gripping." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 28, 2008	The Unknown Woman (2008)	59%
	"During their late-70s heyday the Muppets won huge TV audiences with their corny puns and showbiz in-jokes, but stretched to feature length the formula loses some of its snap." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 20, 2008	The Great Muppet Caper (1981)	71%

	"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)	27%
	"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)	77%
	"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)	29%

	"Feels derivative of 28 Days Later." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 11, 2008	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%

	"Profoundly moving." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%

	"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)	25%
	"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)	88%
	"This carefully observed film has lots of heart." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%

	"An exercise in dissonance." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	August Rush (2007)	38%
	"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%
