1.5/5	"Quirky and undisturbed, unaffected and unaffecting." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Kabluey (2008)	86%
3/5	"Gonzo director Gibney frees himself from the heady topicality of his recent documentaries...and dives right down into the deep -- and dark -- end." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%
3/5	"*Taken for what it is, Brick Lane* is something entirely its own.*" Posted Jul 18, 2008*	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
2/4	"*Unfortunately, like so many movies that celebrate a historical hero, Children* is plagued by an overblown sense of its own importance.*" Posted Jul 3, 2008*	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
3.5/4	"Full of the kind of collective passion and struggle and yearning for freedom that makes viewers well up with pride at their shared humanity." Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Singing Revolution (2007)	83%
1/5	"*If Maxim magazine ever decides to branch out into filmmaking, Wanted* is just the kind of ear-throttling nonsense it�s bound to produce.*" Posted Jun 26, 2008*	Wanted (2008)	72%
1/5	"Unlike Dr. Evil, who wasn�t afraid to be unlikable, Pitka�s schtick is one giant cry for acceptance -- eccentric but not challenging, therapeutic but not cathartic -- which is absolute death to comedy." Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
2/5	"Total and forgettable and unforgivable blandness." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
3.5/5	"*Bigger, Stronger, Faster may prove to be more than just a good time at the movies; it could be another Super Size Me � only bigger. Muscle, after all, weighs more than fat.*" Posted Jun 6, 2008*	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
3/5	"After years of skulking around in Hollywood�s shadows, fan-boy culture finally has a movie hero to call its own." Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
3/5	"A coming-of-age story about a young man who � like the era he was born into � has no idea how to come of age, except by violent fits and starts, in all directions, to varying ends, and ready to change course whenever the mood strikes." Posted May 16, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
3/4	"Purposefully disheveled and expertly ramshackle, as if its filmmakers decided to celebrate their monetary limitations rather than fight them � a bold move artistically and a clever one dramatically." Posted May 9, 2008	When is Tomorrow (2008)	n/a
2/5	"Just like it is in the world of SNL, the choice gets made time and again to aim not for the high road but for the great, big, fat, juicy, unchallenging, uncontroversial middle ground, where everybody�s laughing but nothing is all that funny." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
2/5	"There is no need for a scene in which your hero loses touch with reality via cockeyed camera trickery and thumping techno music." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Dark Matter (2008)	34%
3/5	"Kudos to Spurlock for going into enemy territory and coming back with the message that there really is no enemy territory." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
3/5	"A documentary that somehow manages to capture the anarchic spirit of those topsy-turvy times without devolving into anarchy itself." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	76%
3/5	"*Where The Bank Job* really thrives is in its depiction of the cold, hard realities of a life spent dipping your hands in other people�s pockets.*" Posted Mar 6, 2008*	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
2/5	"Entire plot strands crop up from out of nowhere only to disappear without explanation, never to be heard from again. It�s as if [director] Caveny had so many ideas that she simply couldn�t bear to leave any of them crumpled up on her office floor." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
1/5	"*If [basketball] must be mocked it deserves to be mocked well, and Semi-Pro, unfortunately, isn�t up to the challenge." Posted Feb 28, 2008*	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
3.5/5	"Virtuosic, assured, and possessed of undeniable aesthetic force, it�s also hard not to turn away from." Posted Feb 22, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
2/5	"You get four decent comics plucked from obscurity and given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play big venues packed with eager fans who would probably have roared at a 20-minute set by Alan Greenspan if Vaughn had deigned to give him his blessing." Posted Feb 8, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
2.5/5	"It�s capable at times of real subtlety and warmth and humanity, but not confident enough in itself to stay away from fart jokes or empty acts of sassiness for very long." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
1/5	"A movie that manages to be everything -- romantic comedy, adventure film, family melodrama, farce, gangster movie, and history lesson -- and absolutely nothing all at once." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
2.5/4	"Just when I thought there was no way a movie like this could possibly show me anything new, Money goes and makes Ivan Boesky out of Annie Hall, paints redemption green, and paves the road to heaven with gold. Color me surprised." Posted Feb 1, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	21%
3/4	"Honeydripper's story isn�t anything you haven't seen a dozen times before, but where Sayles succeeds is in his ability to dramatize the psychological and linguistic details that give identity to a subculture struggling for survival." Posted Feb 1, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	68%
1/5	"There�s just no end to America�s love affair with blandness, is there?" Posted Jan 31, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	14%
4/4	"In his brilliant new film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, painter/sculptor/director Schnabel (Basquiat, Before Night Falls) defies dozens of moviemaking conventions to tell the true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
1.5/4	"It�s safety-first adventuring and safety-first filmmaking, both of which should be mortal sins." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Bucket List (2007)	42%
1.5/5	"I can�t say for sure what the 'Requiem' in the film�s title refers to, though we can only hope it means it will be the last in the series." Posted Dec 28, 2007	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	14%
2/4	"[G]uilty of the most mortal of all movie sins: It's dull." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Walker (2007)	52%
2/5	"Poor Depp isn't up to the challenge of a musical. He may look menacing with his ivory skin and flashing eyes, but he sings like he's three drinks into a night at the local karaoke bar." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
1.5/5	"The film descends into a monster-movie malaise starring a horde of balding CGI monsters that look like refugees from a video game and that will scare absolutely no one, save those who worry that green-screening is ruining the movies." Posted Dec 12, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
2/5	"*I have to ask: What could possibly explain the presence of two first-rate actors like Lindo and Elba in a movie as bland as This Christmas?" Posted Nov 21, 2007*	This Christmas (2007)	54%
1/5	"An incomprehensible, self-indulgent mess of post-apocalyptic anxiety and political paranoia, a confusion of half-baked social critiques, pop-culture references, sci-fi whimsicalities, and anti-corporate satire straining for significance." Posted Nov 19, 2007	Southland Tales (2007)	34%
2/5	"*A film that�s right up there with Crash, The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996), and the Kennedy White House for sheer wasted potential and misguided ambition." Posted Nov 17, 2007*	Sleuth (2007)	35%
2/5	"If you�re going to make a comedy about suicide, you�d better make sure the jokes land. There are people out there who could use a laugh." Posted Nov 17, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
1.5/5	"With his incessant cackling and jigging and adorable lisp, Hoffman is an unbearable force of nature, while Portman is disappointing as a young adult stuck in neutral." Posted Nov 14, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
3/5	"With a cast as good as this one, you�re willing to look past the occasional glaring improbability." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Reservation Road (2007)	37%
1/5	"The fact that The Comebacks makes fun of another sports parody, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, doesn�t make it a good movie, but it does say something about the pilfering, postmodern, post-ironic age of cinema we live in." Posted Oct 26, 2007	The Comebacks (2007)	10%
2/5	"It�s hard to fault a screenwriter for cramming every idea he�s ever had about anything into his first movie for fear there won�t be a second." Posted Oct 20, 2007	Feel the Noise (2007)	14%
3/5	"I walked away from Into the Wild feeling that Penn was too in love with the idea of Christopher McCandless the free-spirited hero to excavate the soul of Christopher McCandless the lost man." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
4/5	"[Benicio Del Toro's] managed to top even himself; this most recent performance is right up there with the best screen turns, not just of his generation but of all time." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)	64%
3/5	"Its head may be in the sand, but Outsourced is a good-spirited idyll, an escape from reality, naive to a fault, and all but unconcerned with the troubles of the world but almost � almost � convincing in its innocence." Posted Oct 6, 2007	Outsourced (2007)	76%
3/5	"I�ve been got and I�ve been had. And I admit that with all due shame and humiliation. I�ll never forgive myself for this." Posted Sep 26, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
2/5	"A syrupy fable about love and family? What happened?" Posted Sep 22, 2007	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
1.5/5	"If sex, gangsters, and killing Nazis are three of the most enlivening topics in the movies, then let us count friendship as one of the most tiresome, right up there with grooming horses and sharing for sheer thrills." Posted Sep 22, 2007	My Best Friend (2007)	75%
3/5	"Instead of a nice, clean movie about parental regret we�re forced to suffer through an unnecessary biblical metaphor stretched way past its limits of applicability." Posted Sep 21, 2007	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
3.5/5	"...The Assassination of Jesse James grabs on to many of the classic tropes of the Western -- the meandering passage of time, the imposing landscapes, the abiding loneliness, the casual violence -- and sets about mapping their furthest edges." Posted Sep 21, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
2/5	"Mr. Woodcock is funny for exactly five minutes, during which time Woodcock is shown throwing basketballs at boys� heads and mocking them for having dead parents." Posted Sep 13, 2007	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	13%
