2.5/4
 
"Mixed with the flashes of absolute brilliance are long dead sections. The film left me more often bored than entertained. It's a certain candidate for my list of this year's most overrated movies."
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
2/4
 
"A disappointing mishmash."
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%

4/4
 
"It is one of the best movies ever made!"
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%
/
3/4
 
"A gorgeous film, it's funny, wacky and consistently entertaining. It's also nothing like any other travel film you've ever seen before."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Encounters at the End of the World (2008)95%
/
2/4
 
"A pretentious art house flick, the movie tries way too hard to be hip. But, if you're in the mood for a depressing drug movie about teenage angst, The Wackness does fit the bill."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)63%
/
.5/4
 
"It's a disgusting film that obviously should have been rated NC-17 for its obnoxious level of gross and excessive violence. ... But, even if the movie were properly rated, it would still be absolutely awful."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)72%
/
3/4
 
"Consistently entertaining, the movie turned out to be much better than the excessively silly 1965 television series upon which it is based."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%
/
2.5/4
 
"A weepie that alternates between the poignant and the trite ... The acting is good, but the script is overwrought."
Posted Jun 17, 2008
 
Brick Lane (2008)62%
/
3.5/4
 
"Blake is not ready to let his father go. You'll have trouble letting the movie go too, since the characters are those you grow to care about dearly."
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)73%
/
2.5/4
 
"When it's fighting, it's fun -- but, when it isn't, it's not."

"With its clunky dialog and wooden acting, the film never rises above being a gorgeous tableau."

3.5/4
 
"The magic is back! ... Director Steven Spielberg knows how to dazzle us, and he certainly does it here."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%

2.5/4
 
"In a perfect antidote to this summer's pretentious, superhero extravaganzas, Sidekick is a sweet, indie spoof of the genre. ... It's consistently cute."

"The magic is gone."

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)66%
/
1/4
 
"Scream, scream, scream. When did writers get the idea that what audiences find really funny in comedies is screaming? A full-out assault on your senses, the film isn't just bad. It's painful."
Posted May 9, 2008
 
What Happens in Vegas (2008)27%
/
.4/5
 
"I wanted to race to the exits after 10 minutes of this unwatchable, would-be eye candy, which is so nauseating that it could induce vomiting. There is nothing speedy about the film, as it runs a horribly bloated 136 minutes."
Posted May 8, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)36%
/
3/4
 
"Okay, so it's only minor Mamet, but, for loyal devotees of the master, like me, it is still sublime. Rich in Mamet's signature staccato cadence, the dialog is pure poetry."
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Redbelt (2008)71%
/
1/4
 
"Pretty awful and awfully predictable ... it's a sappy and stupid romance about characters who feel about as real as plastic action figures."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/
2.5/4
 
"Its thin script suggests that the movie is more interested in setting up a franchise than entertaining us, which it does do sporadically."
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's not an awful movie, but, although it has its moments, it is not a particularly good one either. [Still] every scene with the Monkey King in it is magical and mesmerizing."

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)63%

"[88 minutes? It feels like 3 hours!] ... The only thing I cared about was when my sentence would be ended and I could finally escape the theater."

"Ranging from pretty preposterous to laughably bad, Street Kings is a silly and sappy melodrama that plays like an unintentional parody of old crime shows."
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Street Kings (2008)36%

2/4
 
"Dull and depressing, The Visitor is leaden, lethargic and full of heavy-handed symbolism. The Statue of Liberty keeps popping up in the movie, which uses it like a cheap stage prop."
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
The Visitor (2008)92%

3.5/4
 
"Regardless of your age, you'll leave Young at Heart with a big smile on your face. This musical is sheer joy and infectiously happy. It's one of this year's best films."

Young@Heart (2008)88%

"The characters all share a sense of loneliness, sadness and impending doom. Like walking black holes, they are the types of people that you'd want to avoid if possible. [Avoid the movie too!]"

Snow Angels (2008)67%

"A character study about characters I never cared about, Tre features actors whose acting shows. Never for a minute did I buy that the characters they were trying to create were real."

Tre (2008)53%

"A light-weight teen romantic comedy [dressed up as a gambling movie and] filled with nothing but one-dimensional characters."

Mars & Venus (2007)n/a

"A chillingly effective thriller, it is likely to leave you edgy for quite some time."

"Both romantic and subtly surprising ... you can think of it as a comedy-of-errors murder mystery as Hitchcock might have adapted Thackeray."

3.5/4
 
"The best documentaries take you to places that you've never been before, but the best of the best do this in a way that other documentaries don't."
Posted Mar 10, 2008
 
High Ambitions in the Himalayas (2005)n/a

2/4
 
"It's too bad that there isn't a documentary about the making of The Art of Travel since that would undoubtedly make for an interesting movie."

"Quirky is good. I like quirky, but you need more than just an excess of cuteness to make a movie worthwhile."

The Sinking of Santa Isabel (2008)n/a
/
3/4
 
"Fascinating and intriguing, The Pussycat Preacher asks good questions and entertains you at the same time."
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
The Pussycat Preacher (2008)n/a

4/4
 
"Prepare to be equally angry and emotionally drained as you watch real, so-called justice in action. This film will be one of the best you're likely to see this year."
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)n/a

"What a wonderful little film. It would be worth several more viewings, as you are rewarded by pondering its fascinating nuances."

Around the Bay (2008)n/a

"You'll want to make your way to Sherman's Way. In a cynical world, we need more sweet comedies like this charmer. Prepare to fall in love with life again."

Ópera (2008)n/a

1.5/4
 
"I'd like to be able to say good things about this comedy that didn't make me laugh, but I can't. The only redeeming feature was how Williams-Paisley managed to shine."

Eden Court (2008)n/a
