B+	"Watching skinny-armed little Will pretend to be the spawn of Sly Stallone in a series of botched feats of derring-do is a treat, as is much of this film." Posted May 9, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	77%
	"They call movies like this eye candy because they don't necessarily seek to nourish. Nevertheless, when they turn out looking like this, they can taste pretty good for empty calories." Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
	"There are more compelling stories to be found in the comic book world, and there are more expressive directors than Jon Favreau. But on the bases of wit, verve, spirit and whiz-bangery, it's pretty tough to find fault with." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
B	"It's a stylish and sweet film with moments of affecting brilliance that counterbalance its flaws." Posted Apr 25, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
	"A daring experiment that succeeds not only in shattering familiar forms but in providing an apt shape for its unique story." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Last Year at Marienbad (1961)	93%
	"Small but sincere." Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
B-	"He's a decent fellow on a worthy quest, but despite the willingness to make a fool or, indeed, a target of himself, he never seems truly serious." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
C+	"Hey, Hollywood: When somebody dreams up a dumb idea, you're allowed to say 'no.'" Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
C+	"There are small pleasures, but not many. It especially underwhelms when you consider how Penn seemed to have found a new paradigm for this now-hoary comic form." Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Grand ()	42%
A-	"An altogether astounding testimony to the band's longevity, vitality and verve." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
	"A completely charming film that comes a few inches from being a great one." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
C+	"There's a gap between what we're told about its characters and what we can see for ourselves, a gap that gets larger and more frustrating as the film goes on." Posted Mar 28, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
B-	"Alternates moments of real power with confused and lifeless sequences." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
B+	"*Speaking generically, Paranoid Park* is the 12th feature film from Portland director Gus Van Sant and his fourth in a row that might be called, for want of a better term, arty.*" Posted Mar 21, 2008*	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%
F+	"It's awful. Awful. That's all. Keep walking. For the love of all that's holy. Keep. Walking." Posted Mar 21, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
B	"It can overwhelm you and puzzle and repel you, sometimes within moments." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Summer Palace (2008)	68%
B+	"Joelsas does an incredible job carrying a movie on his tiny shoulders." Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	84%
B+	"Morgen recaptures the unreal air of the whole chapter; you can imagine young audiences understanding, perhaps for the first time, what the fuss was about." Posted Mar 14, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
B+	"Taking a premise that could give rise to either slapstick or hand-wringing, [director Kolirin] produces a charming little film built of bits of music, romance, cultural conflict and the simple human need to connect." Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
B	"The film doesn't have the punch of City of God (few films do), but it's energetic and occasionally inspired. Its gritty, sweaty, shiny feel deepens the case that there's a vital new essence to Brazilian cinema." Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
B-	"For the most part, the film races boldly past this material, but it never quite transcends it. Still, it's good fun while the clock is ticking back and forth." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
B-	"*It may be mindless and sexless and humorless, but Jumper* jumps.*" Posted Feb 15, 2008*	Jumper (2008)	16%
B+	"[Director] McDonagh got winning performances from all of his cast, and the film exudes a charming sense of fun." Posted Feb 15, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
	"It's a vexing film that teases with sex and serves up radical politics. But it has extraordinary alchemical powers, turning the most ordinary environment -- a young couple's suburban flat -- into a minefield of ideas." Posted Feb 8, 2008	Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1967)	92%
B-	"*By and large, Starting Out in the Evening* is smart and considered and grown-up and credibly human filmmaking.*" Posted Feb 1, 2008*	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
C+	"Strangely, and perhaps due to the music, the film moves with more verve than much of Sayles' recent work. But it's still flat and disappointing." Posted Feb 1, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	67%
B+	"Persepolis represents a novel kind of animated feature and a worthy addition to the growing canon of fine films made from graphic novels." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	95%
B+	"A smart and convincing film with a lot to say about the power of female sexuality and the cultural forces that try to stifle it." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Teeth (2008)	79%
B+	"A smart and convincing film with a lot to say about the power of female sexuality and the cultural forces that try to stifle it." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Teeth (2008)	79%
	"A sharp and vivid film, filled with moments of tremendous ingenuity and characterized by a persistent avoidance of the expected tropes." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
A-	"It's an unthinkable fate, but Schnabel's film manages both to give us a palpable sense of it and to lead us to appreciate the humanity of it. In that sense, it's a tale of triumph." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
B-	"*Coppola is still a master image maker, and there are moments of genuine beauty and cinematic power in Youth Without Youth* that cannot be waved off with a shrug or a laugh.*" Posted Jan 11, 2008*	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
	"At its best, There Will Be Blood feels possessed of elements of Days of Heavhen, Chinatown and Lawrence of Arabia. And if it doesn't quite stand with those films, how remarkable that it can be mentioned alongside tem." Posted Jan 11, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
B+	"For a great deal of its relatively brief running time, this is smashing entertainment." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
	"Burton is one of the truest of originals in the business of big-budget filmmaking, with a baroque imagination, a fetishistic love of detail, a perverse sense of humor and the courage to see his inspirations through to their most outlandish extremes." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
B-	"As a manipulator of images and emotions, De Palma has few equals, and this is his most gripping film in at least a decade." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Redacted (2007)	44%
B	"It's entirely estimable moviemaking about an entirely estimable man who just so happened to have been president once upon a time." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
C+	"For all the straining efforts of the star and overheated action and warmed-over emotionalism, this is a grim and flat and too often listless film." Posted Dec 14, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	68%
A-	"Be prepared to be fully immersed in it." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Hear and Now (2007)	88%
B+	"The film is somewhat scattered in construction, but it's an eye-opener." Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Rape of Europa (2007)	78%
B	"Atonement is a handsome film, an earnest film, a film with taste in music and photography and a real sense of intelligence. But too often it feels like an exercise." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Atonement (2007)	82%
A-	"This film insists on being taken on its own terms -- the sort of demand, in other words, that defines the best art." Posted Nov 21, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	"A muscular, exact and thrillingly cool movie." Posted Nov 16, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
A-	"Emotionally brutal, ferociously acted, crafted with unflagging expertise and relentlessly locked in its vision of human darkness, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is as grim and despairing as any tragedy by Sophocles or Shakespeare." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
B+	"The film is utterly rousing and transporting -- sufficiently, in fact, to make you forgive, if not forget, the somewhat clumsy telling." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
B+	"Corbijn creates an extremely empathetic atmosphere, and Riley ranges richly and deeply over a whole world of emotions -- which, yes, includes massive continents of depression and hopelessness." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Control (2007)	87%
A-	"Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten is that rarest of movie biographies: a warts-and-all exploration of the life and times of its subject." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	87%
B+	"The film always teaches and entertains in equal, ample measure. It's a treat -- and it's good for you." Posted Nov 9, 2007	King Corn (2007)	95%
C+	"The film is undistinguished visually. Worse, it isn't especially funny." Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	53%
B-	"Wristcutters: A Love Story is a twee little movie that may have appeal for a cult audience but few others. And I bet that cult will wind up growing from its affection for the film before long." Posted Nov 2, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	66%
