	"*Watching Gonzo, it's hard to like Thompson much, but even harder not to be dazzled by his talent." Posted Jul 3, 2008*	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	88%
	"Bigger, Stronger, Faster is not just an impressive first film, it's an impressive film." Posted Jun 1, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
	"The primordial image of [a woman] driving around with half of a man on her hood invokes titters of discomfort ... But director Stuart Gordon ... hasn't a clue what to do with this story." Posted May 22, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
	"Helen Hunt probably could have made this into a delightful little comedy or a thoughtful drama. But the clumsy mixing of those elements makes for an awkward mess." Posted May 9, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	55%

	"If McCarthy is the divinity of the universe he creates, its patron saint is Frank Capra ... The primordial truth about Capra's and McCarthy's characters is that if you scratch beneath the surface, just about everyone is decent." Posted Apr 7, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"... if Pierce is going to create a character who has the deep desire ... to resist the military- then she owes it to Brandon to let him be true to himself." Posted Apr 7, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%

	"Morgen's film suffers from two fatal flaws: prosaic story-telling and political naivete." Posted Mar 1, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
	"There Will Be Blood has no characters who repay our working to get inside them, and it has no thoughts beyond cliches about our country." Posted Dec 21, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
	"Brian DePalma has written and directed a deeply anti-American film, and that should be acknowledged, embraced, and defended as one legitimate reading of our country in 2007." Posted Nov 28, 2007	Redacted (2007)	44%
	"Alas, this isn't the first time that writer/director Haynes has created a film with a stunning conceit that never reels in its audience." Posted Nov 28, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%

	"Giacchino has created a film in which every practical question has ethical implications...The Camden 28 opens our thinking to the values and calculations which guided these noble activists and their equally noble attorneys." Posted Jul 23, 2007	The Camden 28 (2007)	88%
	"Based on their press materials, they think they have made a film damning capital punishment and exploring Britain's most famous executioner. In fact, they haven't. But they have made a film of artistic beauty and endless fascination." Posted Jul 10, 2007	Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)	78%
	""Manufactured Landscapes" is long on heart and short on brains. The result is a technically dazzling film with its heart in the right place. But it's just too thoughtless to become fine art." Posted Jul 10, 2007	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
	"August's screenplay for "The Nines" is fun, confusing, provocative...And if he isn't as edgy or daring as he might be, there's much to be said for a film that's as entertaining and thought-provoking as the best episodes of The Twilight Zone." Posted Jul 10, 2007	The Nines (2007)	69%
	"The most interesting thing about A Mighty Heart is why it became a mediocre film." Posted Jul 10, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
	"In stillness and frantic movement these characters somehow survive and endure. We aren't laughing out loud. But we are staring in stunned gasping delight." Posted Apr 23, 2007	L'Iceberg (2007)	71%
	"Brougher brings a particularly female sensibility to her work. I think most male writer-directors would structure this story around choices and actions. Will Stephanie accept a plea bargain? Will Lydie push her patient into facing the truth? Will" Posted Apr 23, 2007	Stephanie Daley (2007)	89%
	"By the end of his films- this idiosyncratic style, complex plotting, and core values about intimacy produce a combination of exhaustion, well-being, and a bit of unease. At the conclusion of "Jindabyne," while Lawrence's torturous journey has given more" Posted Apr 23, 2007	Jindabyne (2007)	65%
	"Red Road is a portrait of a voyeur, and it invites us to become voyeurs of the voyeur." Posted Apr 16, 2007	Red Road (2007)	89%
