3/5	"While your tolerance for Step Brothers will rely upon your willingness to find moronic behavior and potty-mouthed dialogue funny, I must admit that the film had me laughing consistently almost the entire way through." -- MSNBC Posted Jul 22, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%

2/5	"*Initially, it seems like Hancock* is going to have some fun with the superhero paradigm, but this dark, muddled and tedious noise machine winds up being an inferior copy of that genre's highlights.*" -- MSNBC* Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
4/5	"*While the film's most daring gambits pay off in full, the inclusion of a standard outwit-the-bad-guys storyline dulls the magic that WALL-E* so often achieves.*" -- MSNBC* Posted Jun 25, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%

2/5	"[I]f director Peter Segal and writers Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember didn't want Maxwell Smart to be a bumbling boob, fine, but they haven't given him much of a personality to substitute for the old one." -- MSNBC Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%

4/5	"[T]he first two-thirds of Kit Kittredge often resembles Spike Lee's underrated Crooklyn or even Fellini's Amarcord as a memory piece that mixes sentimentality and warmth with cruelty and heartbreak." -- MSNBC Posted Jun 17, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
2/5	"*If this was the movie to rescue the reputation of self-styled genius Shyamalan after the disaster of Lady in the Water,* then it's back to the old drawing board.*" -- MSNBC* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
2/5	"*Even if there weren't script and performance deficiencies -- and there certainly are -- the big problem with both Hulk* movies is that the lead character is an unconvincing CG creation.*" -- MSNBC* Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
2/5	"But really -- 113 minutes? Some judicious trimming might have made the jokes' hit-to-miss ratio way more tolerable." -- MSNBC Posted Jun 3, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%

2/5	"The Strangers is one of those inane fright fests that relies upon the victimizers being omniscient and omnipresent while the victims are complete morons." -- MSNBC Posted May 28, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%

1/5	"Any random five minutes from lefty talk-radio hosts Rachel Maddow's or Randi Rhodes' shows would provide more entertainment and deeper insight into current events." -- MSNBC Posted May 20, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
3/5	"*It's not that Crystal Skull* doesn't deliver the laughs and the thrills; it's just that they all feel incredibly calculated, and it's quite possible that you won't remember them after a day or two.*" -- MSNBC* Posted May 19, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
