	" It's a study in semisimilitude, more Google-Earthly than grounded in feelings." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
	" I don't know how Mike Leigh does it." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	95%
	" A provocation, thinly disguised as a documentary, that succeeds in being almost as funny as it is offensive." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	69%
	" If only the movie were more than intermittently interesting." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Flash of Genius (2008)	59%
	" The script was written by Jenny Lumet in a loose, graceful style that allows the story to flow -- or sometimes ramble -- freely, and gives the actors all the room they need to invent and discover as they go along." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	85%
	" It's an imperfect, sometimes familiar but always exuberant comedy with romantic resonance and a soundtrack that's as essential to the story as the dialogue." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
	" Richard Gere suffers less than Diane Lane. He gets by with a mixture of skill and self-irony. She acts up a storm in every scene, but you root for the hurricane." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	29%
	" Given the importance of that subject, the real mystery of Mr. Lee's movie is why it's so diffuse, dispirited, emotionally distanced and dramatically inert." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	32%
	" Mannered, episodic and slow." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	75%
	" Princess Di deserves livelier revisionism." Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
	" It's enlivened by the performance of Ricky Gervais as Bertram Pincus, a latter-day Scrooge for whom the living are no less annoying than the dead." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
	" The movie's only mark of restraint is the absence of an earthquake." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	42%
	" As a first-time feature director, [Ball] seldom lets the material speak for itself." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	49%
	" The movie's main appeal is its special comic flavor -- a zesty fusion of picaresque adventure, absurdist whimsy and Chaplinesque grace." Posted Sep 12, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	81%
	" **Burn After Reading could just as well have been called Forget After Seeing.*" Posted Sep 12, 2008*	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
	" There's never been anything like this densely detailed phantasmagoria -- groundbreaking in substance, damned near earth-shaking in style." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	100%
	" Part of what makes Man on Wire so enthralling, and so entertaining, is the filmmaker's skill in laying out the illegal caper's logistics, mainly through interviews with Philippe and his support team." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
	" This is a debut feature, though you'd never know it from the filmmaker's commandingly confident style, or from the heartbreaking beauty -- heartbreaking, then heartmending -- of Melissa Leo's performance." Posted Aug 1, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	86%
	" *The best news about this clangorous clunker is that it may well have vanquished the Mummy* franchise.*" Posted Aug 1, 2008*	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
	" If it's a choice between the movie's 135 minutes or the 659 minutes of the miniseries, I'd say it's no choice at all. The shorter version is the one that seems long." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	64%
	" A very short and cheerfully scruffy comedy-thriller by the Duplass brothers." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
	" A small, huge film about the harsh realities of rehabilitation, and the shimmering possibility of redemption." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Boy A (2008)	88%
	" There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
	" Christopher Nolan's latest exploration of the Batman mythology steeps its muddled plot in so much murk that the Joker's maniacal nihilism comes to seem like a recurrent grace note." Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
	" Likable, serviceable, and eminently danceable." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
	" Perfectly charming as well as predictably eye-popping." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	62%
	" If you didn't know that there's a Troll Market underneath the east tower of the Brooklyn Bridge, you need to brush up on your monstrosities with the help of Guillermo del Toro's hugely inventive -- and smashingly beautiful -- Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
	" Dumbfoundingly erratic, for the most part, but smart and funny from time to time, especially when Mr. Murphy, in the pseudo-person of the spaceship, tries to imitate earthling behavior." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
	" The substance of those letters, along with documentary footage and a touching appearance by Kirk Douglas, throws a baleful light on a bleak chapter of American history." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Trumbo (2008)	78%
	" *Thrillers aren't always so thrilling, but Tell No One* is -- and absorbing, sometimes perplexing and often stirring as well.*" Posted Jul 1, 2008*	Tell No One (2008)	92%
	" A new movie that makes the previous pandemonium seem downright restrained." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	" *I must drop my inhibitions about dropping the M word -- especially since I've already used magnificent -- and call WALL-E* the masterpiece that it is.*" Posted Jun 26, 2008*	WALL-E (2008)	96%
	" *Before Wanted* reaches the end of its wild course, the violence that's been nothing but oppressive becomes genuinely if perversely impressive.*" Posted Jun 26, 2008*	Wanted (2008)	73%
	" This autobiographical meditation is seductively funny, as well as deliciously strange, and hauntingly beautiful, as well as stream-of-consciousness cockeyed." Posted Jun 20, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	94%
	" It's not only fresh and unassuming, but a film that serves, very nicely, the severely underserved audience of young girls." Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	79%
	" *The road taken by The Love Guru* could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere.*" Posted Jun 20, 2008*	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
	" *Rather than the laugh a minute promised by old comedies, Get Smart* generates approximately one laugh per hour, and I can't remember either one.*" Posted Jun 20, 2008*	Get Smart (2008)	52%
	" Woeful clunker of a paranoid thriller." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	18%
	" This new production, starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, looks a lot better -- sometimes it looks great -- and it's a thunderously efficient enterprise, with a nice surprise at the very end." Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	" I don't know the Mongolian word for panache, but Mongol's got plenty of it. The battle scenes are as notable for their clarity as their intensity; we can follow the strategies, get a sense of who's losing and who's winning." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
	" The film settles into a succession of ritual spoofs of the kung fu genre, and peddles the sort of cloying preachments about self-esteem and human potential -- panda potential -- that little kids hear all the time on TV." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	89%
	" When Did You Last See Your Father? is an eloquent and affecting evocation of a man who remains bigger than life even as he approaches death." Posted Jun 6, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	72%
	" You Don't Mess With the Zohan is as messy as comedies come. Much of it, though, is an inspired, hilarious mess." Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
	" An exquisitely mysterious feature by the German-born Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin." Posted May 30, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
	" It's just that there's been an altitude adjustment -- fewer stilettos, more flats. Ask what women want of a chick flick and one answer may be this -- a pleasant reunion with cherished friends. Ask what women deserve and the answer is better." Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	50%
	" Sitting through Steven Spielberg's slog down memory lane means waiting for surprise, waiting for delight, waiting for daylight after turgid trudges through Peruvian caves, and waiting for an abstract story to coalesce." Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
	" If you're willing to go along with it, as I was, then being manipulated -- or at least actively misled -- becomes a pleasure." Posted May 16, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
	" It's a fine film by any standard, on any scale." Posted May 16, 2008	Reprise (2008)	86%
	" *I wish I could be more enthusiastic about Prince Caspian, an honorable and attractive adventure for children and families. But scenic beauty and spirited action can't conceal its dramatic defects." Posted May 16, 2008*	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
	" Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath is invincibly smug, occasionally smarmy and obsessed with food. If that whets your appetite, he's your homme." Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
