9/10
 
"Sophisticated, timely and compelling, it's a quintessential post-9/11 drama." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 15, 2008
 
The Visitor (2008)92%
/
6/10
 
"The coincidental plot twists are implausible, as are some of the performances. Sometimes being enigmatic just insn't as interesting as it should be." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Redbelt (2008)71%
/
8/10
 
"Imaginative and visually enchanting but, remember, as Aslan says, "Things never happen the same way twice."" -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 15, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)69%
/
7/10
 
"Taking up where "The Da Vinci Code" left off, this enthralling documentary inflames the imagination and pushes the envelope of controversy." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Bloodline (2008)25%
/
4/10
 
"As tepid romantic comedies go, they forgot to pack the fun. This one should have stayed in Vegas." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 8, 2008
 
What Happens in Vegas (2008)29%
/
8/10
 
"If you're into high-octane car racing, trippy Japanese anime and awesome visuals, this is spectacular, adrenaline-pumping family fare." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 8, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)34%
/
8/10
 
"It's the rarest of all things: an intelligent, sophisticated romance with real meat on its bones." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 6, 2008
 
A Previous Engagement (2008)35%
/
9/10
 
"It's Robert Downey Jr., having triumphed over his substance abuse battle, who puts the pedal to the metal and scores the freshest new franchise going." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
8/10
 
"It's a delightful, audience-pleasing, fun-filled fairytale of laughter and love." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/
2/10
 
"So when does enigmatic become incoherent? In the hands of an inept, inxperienced director." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 27, 2008
 
Deception (2008)12%
/
7/10
 
"Stylish yet deeply sensitive, lifting your spirit. No one will come away without a smile." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Then She Found Me (2008)55%
/
7/10
 
"It's wry and satirical but just not as hip as I was hoping. Perhaps I expected too much from two of SNL's funniest comediennes." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)60%
/
4/10
 
"It's simply tedious, butt-kicking, cliche-ridden, chop-schlocky action." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 21, 2008
 
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)62%
/
2/10
 
"It's tepid fare with a vacuous cast, particularly when compared with the previous version featuring Jamie Lee Curtis as the scream queen." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 20, 2008
 
Prom Night (2008)9%
/
3/10
 
"There ought to be a testosterone warning posted at the box-office because overdosing is a distinct possibility, and to call Reeves'a acting wooden is an insult to Pinnochio." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 13, 2008
 
Street Kings (2008)33%
/
8/10
 
"A consummate concert film but not on a calibre with Scorsese's "The Last Waltz" (1978)." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
Shine a Light (2008)86%
/
5/10
 
"Some 'smart people' can be thick as planks...and this is a fragmented, derivative, predictablly underwhelming family drama." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Smart People (2008)49%
/
6/10
 
"Over-written and awkwardly directed, it's nevertheless family-friendly, complete with flying lizards and a flatulent sea lion." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 5, 2008
 
Nim's Island (2008)48%
/
6/10
 
"Admirably stylized but, as sports comedies go, it fumbles." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Apr 2, 2008
 
Leatherheads (2008)53%
/
7/10
 
"Here's the deal: this is sheer escapist entertainment - and, as such, it's a good gamble." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 30, 2008
 
21 (2008)31%
/
5/10
 
"Tyler Perry continues his exploration of the sense and sensbility of the African-American community with this fun-loving celebration of the possibility of second chances." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 30, 2008
 
Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)30%
/
5/10
 
"Problem is: 'Stop-Loss' isn't really about that legal loophole. Instead, it's about soldiers' post-traumatic stress, a subject covered far more effectively before." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 30, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
4/10
 
"The goofy "My Bodyguard" premise is appealing but the execution is flimsy, formulaic and disjointed - neither the characters nor their actions are plausible. The laughs are lame." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 22, 2008
 
Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%
/
8/10
 
"An outrageously raunchy romp, another audience-pleaser from Judd Apatow, who stretches farcial, vulgar silliness into outright hilarity." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 20, 2008
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)84%
/
5/10
 
"Using conventional slapstick gags and inventive crosscutting, David Schwimmer scores as a creditable, if not memorable, director...but the innocuous script is totally predictable." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 17, 2008
 
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)48%
/
2/10
 
"Neil Marshall shamelessly rips off elements from so many other action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasies that you feel you've seen all this mayhem before - and you have!" -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 15, 2008
 
Doomsday (2008)41%
/
4/10
 
"Family-friendly doesn't have to mean dumbed-down." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
College Road Trip (2008)14%
/
10/10
 
"Wacky and wondrous - it's bountiful fun for children of all ages." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 13, 2008
 
Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)78%
/
9/10
 
"What makes this movie worthwhile is its depiction of a struggle of conscience. What would you do in such a situation? Would you sacrifice another life to extend your own?" -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 12, 2008
 
The Counterfeiters (2008)94%
/
5/10
 
"While admittedly formulaic and banal, it's also a guilty pleasure for those who enjoy watching stampeding herds of woolly mammoths." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 8, 2008
 
10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
9/10
 
"Evoking memories of 'Cinema Paradiso,' it's a gem - one of those rare films that truly touch your heart." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Under the Same Moon (2008)74%
/
4/10
 
"Clumsy and clunky, totally lacking in passion and cohesion, this dull mediocrity is an insult to Philippa Gregory's historical concept of the two rival sisters." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Mar 4, 2008
 
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)41%
/
7/10
 
"Suspenseful, yes - but it's all too far-fetched to matter much." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Feb 27, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)37%

7/10
 
"It's wonderfulness on a rampage." -- SSG Syndicate

8/10
 
"Tart, smart and fun." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Charlie Bartlett (2007)53%
/
7/10
 
"A plucky, whimsical romance as the ugly-duckling fantasy morphs into a satiric take on celebrity culture." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Penelope (2008)53%
/
5/10
 
"Offbeat and off-putting, unless you're really heavily into "guilt and sins and hell and all that."" -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
In Bruges (2008)78%
/
7/10
 
"Soulful and sweet-natured, this enjoyably romantic whodunit proves that living "happily ever after" isn't quite so easy." -- SSG Syndicate
Posted Feb 12, 2008
 
Definitely, Maybe (2008)72%
/
3/10
 
"Silly, campy and tepid - no hearts 'n' flowers here." -- SSG Syndicate

"Geeky, gruesome and repugnant." -- SSG Syndicate

Meet the Spartans (2008)2%

7/10
 
"A fluffy, frivolous - if formulaic - indulgence for those of us who still enjoy the occasional, old-fashioned wedding fantasy." -- SSG Syndicate

27 Dresses (2008)39%
