"Simplistic as can be with its cliched squabbling-family dynamics offering little more than a hook for the 3-D technicians to hang their hats on. But for most audiences, this one included, that was plenty." -- Baltimore Sun

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)60%

B+
 
"Stop-Loss, a harrowing, emotional indictment of a war that has divided this country like no conflict since Vietnam, delves into what happens when the country doesn't do as well by its soldiers as they do by it." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%

"It is, at once, among the most riveting and hard-to-watch documentaries of recent years." -- Baltimore Sun

Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)100%

B
 
"Definitely, Maybe adds some welcome spice to a genre that rarely ventures beyond the predictable anymore." -- Baltimore Sun

Definitely, Maybe (2008)72%

"Screen couplings that work are things to be treasured. In that sense, Fool's Gold is as close to the real thing as we've come in a while." -- Baltimore Sun

"At once a tribute to one young woman's stubborn resilience and a reminder that people are people, regardless of how their governments may want them to behave, Persepolis is a film of great wisdom and welcome perception." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Feb 1, 2008
 
Persepolis (2007)96%

B-
 
"How She Move sure has got the moves. And even if we've seen so many of them before, its young cast delivers the goods with such gusto and drive that the familiarity breeds more enjoyment than contempt." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
How She Move (2008)66%

A
 
"A concert film featuring one of the world's premier rock bands in top form, shot using cutting-edge technology that gives the audience a better-than-front-row seat. What's not to love?" -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 23, 2008
 
U2 3D (2008)92%
/
B-
 
"The film's overriding sense of the unknown ratchets up the suspense, if not the terror." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Cloverfield (2008)77%
/
B
 
"Predictable but utterly engaging, 27 Dresses will likely be remembered as the film that made Katherine Heigl an A-list star." -- Baltimore Sun

"Adult horror returns to the screen with the crisp and frightening The Orphanage, a haunted-house tale about the dueling forces of childhood friendship and maternal love." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
The Orphanage (2007)86%
/
B-
 
"A charmer that boldly marches where lesser movies -- at least since the heyday of John Hughes -- fear to tread." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Sydney White (2007)37%
/
B-
 
"At times, it's a mawkish drama about a mother-son relationship that's uncomfortable to watch and too melodramatic to be believed. Then, it's a sprightly comedy about an innocent boy who hits the adolescent jackpot." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Introducing The Dwights (2007)52%
/
B+
 
"[A] lean, mean surviving machine of a film." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
Rescue Dawn (2007)90%
/
B
 
"The humor arises from the situations and the characters, not from an overeager screenwriter's determination to cram as many jokes and putdowns into the script as possible." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)91%

"The acting, by any measure, is superb." -- Baltimore Sun

"[Director] Verhoeven proves a sure-handed storyteller, which might come as a surprise, as well as a terrific visual stylist, which shouldn't." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
Black Book (2007)76%

"Away From Her is that rare movie that breaks hearts with finesse and reserve, not through brute force." -- Baltimore Sun

Away From Her (2007)95%

"Those willing to overlook its emotional grandstanding will find much to admire and even more to think about in this Oscar-nominated Danish drama." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
After The Wedding (2007)87%
/
B
 
"Citizen Kane, it isn't. But for 140 minutes in the dead of summer, it's a ton of dumb fun." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 3, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
B
 
"The film's action doesn't disappoint; if anything, it ups the adrenaline ante considerably." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jun 28, 2007
 
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)81%
/
A-
 
"There's not a false moment within the film's 88-minute running time, nor many that could be done any better." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jun 16, 2007
 
Once (2007)97%

"The designers behind Surf's Up give the film a warmth that's often missing from today's computer-dominated animation; the water sequences are especially impressive and beautiful." -- Baltimore Sun

"Like Vittorio De Sica, one of the great Italian neo-realists, Kravchuk populates his film with people, not paradigms; his characters are capable of good and evil, sometimes in equal measure." -- Baltimore Sun

The Italian (2007)91%
