	" Elite Squad succeeds at putting the worst of the violent spectacles on screen, primarily through a series of nicely staged shootouts and torture sequences." -- New York Press Posted Sep 17, 2008	Elite Squad (2008)	50%
	" **A Secret takes the tired approach of a child viewing history through the quirks of his family, which worked only slightly better in last year�s Blame it On Fidel.*" -- New York Press* Posted Sep 3, 2008	Un Secret (2008)	76%
	" [Director] Eska manages to superimpose downtrodden personalities on an authentic setting, making it a compelling exercise in atmospheric storytelling." -- New York Press Posted Sep 3, 2008	August Evening (2008)	95%
	" *Unfortunately, The Rocker, Wilson�s first lead role in a feature film, emphasizes the wrong quirks." -- New York Press* Posted Aug 20, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
3/4	" The subsequent plot offers little in the way of inspiration, but plenty in the way of amusement." -- Premiere Magazine Posted Aug 14, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	80%
3.5/4	" *This one could have the subtitle How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blockbuster." -- Premiere Magazine* Posted Aug 11, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
	" Step Brothers signals another era of American comedy: It�s the sort of thing that will assist future scholars in crafting histories of 21st-century stupidity." -- New York Press Posted Jul 30, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
	" X-Files: I Want to Believe is not a good movie, but its flaws are revealing. Carter�s intention of injecting topicality into the movie only testifies to his desperation." -- New York Press Posted Jul 30, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%

	" It's Boll's knuckleheaded misinterpretation of topical humor that really gets me." -- New York Press Posted May 21, 2008	Postal (2008)	8%
	" Forgetting Sarah Marshall crassly dissolves the gender balance in a vat of acidic testosterone." -- New York Press Posted Apr 16, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
	" *Some have said that Taxi Driver* has lost its immediacy because the city no longer carries an overtly dour impact; but Frownland finds it again.** " -- New York Press Posted Mar 5, 2008	Frownland (2008)	90%
	" Violent Saturday seems rooted in tradition, but as an exciting pulp story with a profound center, it manages to break all the rules." -- New York Press Posted Feb 27, 2008	Violent Saturday (1955)	n/a
	" *Gorgeously shot against a seaside backdrop and filled with local color, Jar City* unfolds like a noir from another planet.*" -- New York Press* Posted Feb 27, 2008	Jar City (2008)	94%

	" The times have changed, but [Romero's] unflinching portrait of humanity’s innately self-destructive tendencies hasn’t frayed a bit." -- New York Press Posted Feb 14, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
	" *Pretty, resonant and utterly approachable as a gentle comedy, The Band�s Visit* is conventionally low key.*" -- New York Press* Posted Feb 6, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
	" An unfunny and overlong sea romp." -- New York Press Posted Feb 6, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	11%
	" I wouldn�t say it�s particularly good, but certain measured elements of the genre create something surprisingly passable." -- New York Press Posted Feb 6, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	" If nothing else, Labaki suggests a calm alternative to the ugly pronouncements of Middle East disasters broadcast on CNN: the modern chick flick." -- New York Press Posted Jan 30, 2008	Caramel (2008)	92%
	" It�s particularly frustrating to watch Whittaker, the strongest thespian of the bunch, desperately mine for gold in a narrative landslide." -- New York Press Posted Jan 23, 2008	The Air I Breathe (2007)	14%
	" Too bad the movie is a less-than-satisfying experiment with contrived fake documentary aesthetics." -- New York Press Posted Jan 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	" A twisted inversion of the standard rampaging murderer story." -- New York Press Posted Jan 16, 2008	Teeth (2008)	82%
	" *Consistent with his other great works, Marienbad* transcends reality. Resnais� projects haven�t aged because they defy time.*" -- New York Press* Posted Jan 16, 2008	Last Year at Marienbad (1961)	93%
	" When it comes to scary movies, the Japanese have it figured out. Unfortunately, commercial filmmakers in the United States usually don�t." -- New York Press Posted Jan 9, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
	" The Signal has a cosmic sense of justice that's often hilarious; a sense of irony about the suggestion that we really could amuse ourselves to death." -- New York Press Posted Jan 8, 2008	The Signal (2007)	54%
	" *The originality of its design makes Tati's cinema unfold as it were a series of Looney Tunes* episodes envisioned by Robert Altman.*" -- New York Press* Posted Jan 2, 2008	Jour De Fete (1948)	100%

	" Persepolis creates a fresh approach to interpreting the graphic novel format, taking cues from the experiences of illustrator Marjane Satrapi." -- New York Press Posted Dec 19, 2007	Persepolis (2007)	96%
	" *If Schrader was willing to enliven the pace, The Walker* would easily become a riveting thriller, but the situation gets resolved with too much ease.*" -- New York Press* Posted Dec 19, 2007	The Walker (2007)	52%
	" There�s a charm to the way the innocence of its design is challenged only by the elegant individualism of its memorably cynical protagonist. " -- New York Press Posted Dec 12, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
	" The whole thing feels so heavily scripted that it brings down the overarching impact. The misguided route raises the question of what kind of juicy stories might be produced by the real thing." -- New York Press Posted Dec 12, 2007	Look (2007)	61%
	" The movie marks the directorial debut of Jennifer Venditti, whose ability to convey the innocence of youth and the universal anguish of being an outsider suggests a natural ear for the emotional rhythms of growing up." -- New York Press Posted Dec 5, 2007	Billy The Kid (2007)	88%
	" Sure, it�s a tearjerker with more than a few mushy moments of unhindered grief, but they match the situation. So does Cusack." -- New York Press Posted Dec 5, 2007	Grace is Gone (2007)	58%
	" There are names that fill in the cracks of Hollywood myth, and Norman Lloyd�s story seals several gaps." -- New York Press Posted Nov 28, 2007	Who Is Norman Lloyd? (2007)	67%
	" Yu�s analytical documentary has an intentionally narrow view of human narratives, lumping together the misguided journeys of four men to highlight the conceptual parallels between them." -- New York Press Posted Nov 28, 2007	The Savages (2007)	90%
	" The selling point of Oswald�s Ghost, Robert Stone�s documentary about the enigmatic blue collar Texan generally regarded as the assassin of President John F. Kennedy, is its refusal to dispute the safest assumption." -- New York Press Posted Nov 28, 2007	Oswald's Ghost (2007)	74%
	" [Director Jessica] Yu�s analytical documentary has an intentionally narrow view of human narratives, lumping together the misguided journeys of four men to highlight the conceptual parallels between them." -- New York Press Posted Nov 28, 2007	Protagonist (2007)	84%
	" IT IS FINE! allows an outsider�s plight to define the mood and give significance to the art. Yet it�s hard to take that endeavor seriously when the movie operates under the guise of exploitation." -- New York Press Posted Nov 21, 2007	It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE (2007)	80%
	" Harden�s Mrs. Carmondy would bring the whole production down if it weren�t already flawed for other reasons." -- New York Press Posted Nov 21, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
	" *Uninspired despite its various attempts to find inspiration, Magorium* is itself like a toy: Shiny, mystifying and completely expendable.*" -- New York Press* Posted Nov 14, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	" The movie offers both intriguing portraiture and probing cultural analysis." -- New York Press Posted Nov 14, 2007	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	62%
	" Despite its temporal range, the biggest pratfall of the movie is its outdated aura. Newell gives us fabulous scenery and a classic narrative, but none of it becomes involving in the present." -- New York Press Posted Nov 14, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	28%
	" *For all its enticing dramatic hooks, Choking Man* has a fairly unrewarding conclusion.*" -- New York Press* Posted Nov 9, 2007	Choking Man (2007)	43%
	" Ohayan creates a fluid pace, matching the account of the survival with present day footage of the couple lecturing younger generations to raise Holocaust awareness." -- New York Press Posted Nov 9, 2007	Steal a Pencil For Me (2007)	95%
	" Unable to sustain its one-note premise, the story foolishly revels in the mythology of Christmas to mask comedic vapidity. The trick doesn�t work." -- New York Press Posted Nov 9, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
