3/5
 
"In Hamlet 2, the saccharine is a small if measurable price to pay for Coogan's unbelievably adept performance as Dana -- a sustained tour de force of comic acting comparable to the late, great Peter Sellers at his absolute best." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Hamlet 2 (2008)61%

3.5/5
 
"Any movie comedy that mounts such a full-frontal assault on so many fetish objects of contemporary showbiz sanctimony has earned the very wide audience Tropic Thunder will undoubtedly reach." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Tropic Thunder (2008)84%

"Burstein or an apologist would probably say that in the YouTube era, overt and even manipulative mediation is a fact of teen life, and that her movie is a reflection of that reality. If so...YouTube is better at being YouTube than American Teen is." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
American Teen (2008)69%

3.5/5
 
"Zenovich has made a feature worthy of its eccentric and reckless central figure at his most cynical and embittered." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)86%

4.5/5
 
"A paean to the art of storytelling as it existed before mass-produced visual media replaced the spoken word as the primary creative medium." -- Boxoffice Magazine

The Fall (2008)54%

"Meet the Browns is a typically affectionate, revealing and somewhat sprawling family comedy." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)31%

"Step Up 2 has only a few points of correlation with its predecessor. It’s also probably the single most racist movie that will be released by any major American studio in the first 10 years of the twenty-first century." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)24%

"A shaggy, not-all-that-good-but-good-enough gangster comedy...violent, intermittently amusing and very 1992." -- Boxoffice Magazine

In Bruges (2008)80%

"A Raisin in the Sun is a perfectly serviceable television adaptation of the recent Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansbury’s classic 1959 play, but why it got a press screening at the Sundance Film Festival is difficult to say." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Raisin in the Sun (2008)n/a

"Mia Trachinger’s thought-provoking lo-fi science fiction movie/rumination on mortality, memory and destiny, does what any low-budget independent film ought to do, which is to assure the viewer that its maker is capable of great things." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Reversion (2008)n/a
/
 
"Though Recycle fails to visually dramatize many of the issues it seeks to address, simply taking the viewer on a journey into a mundane reality that has been so sensationalized by the global press borders on something higher than a good film." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Recycle (2008)n/a

"When a director who is not yet 40 creates a masterful work that extends his own vocabulary while enlarging our appreciation of earlier masters, the time has come to start comparing that filmmaker primarily against himself." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 26, 2007
 
There Will Be Blood (2007)92%

"Where previous Sweeneys have found room in the character for both anguish and exultation amidst all the faraway looks and obsessional glowering, Depp skirts along the edge of the emotional chasm without ever really diving in." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%

"The Signal is a moderately subversive and very proficient splatter horror movie of the sort David Cronenberg used to make back in the ‘70s and ‘80s." -- Boxoffice Magazine

The Signal (2007)55%

"It’s cute and it’s funny and its comic view of adolescence as a series of changed alliances and curfew violations is, for the most part, refreshingly free of sentimental cant." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"As Stanley Phillips, Cusak’s embodiment of middle-class average-ness is complete and masterful, not only in the big emotional scenes but in the marginal details." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Grace is Gone (2007)58%

"It’s the stuff of primal phobia and nightmare, and, by presenting it in a way that makes us laugh as well as scream, Teeth actually takes it easy on us, no matter how explicit its presentation may be." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"Blandly surreal and mundanely terrifying -- a beautifully photographed glimpse inside a science-driven and machine-infested parallel reality as hypnotic as it is impersonal." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"Eschewing the geopolitical for the personal, Sheridan and Kim manage to tell a sweeping Cold War saga that is at its most undeniably powerful when it is focused tightly on the tracks of two parents' tears." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"If the film’s lack of emotionalism deprives it of dramatic energy, it also forces viewers to react to a highly charged issue intellectually and on the merits, rather than out of manipulated passion." -- Boxoffice Magazine

"In this Che Guevara t-shirt of a film, the same cliche 'them and us' shadow play that MTV and VH1 stage in everything they produce about the American 1960s is extended so excruciatingly that the era seems to occur year by year in real time." -- Boxoffice Magazine
