5/10	"The pratfalls and naked jokes don't eek out enough humor, and Wilson's Fish never becomes someone you can truly root for." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 20, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
3/10	"*They have billed Star Wars: The Clone Wars* as the untold story. If only the untelling of the told could now be done.*" -- The Scorecard Review* Posted Aug 19, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
5/10	"Burstein's goal was to film an authentic senior year of high school. Instead she showed that it's almost an impossibility." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 19, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
4/10	"It's is like that bottle of wine that makes you feel like you paid too much for what you got." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 15, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	48%
8/10	"Tropic Thunder is the biggest comedy of the year. It's also the funniest. It's attack humor at it's best." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 15, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
7/10	"Pineapple Express is a mess, but a wonderful one. It's not the ultimate movie about pot that I was expecting, instead it's a great ordinary-man action movie." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 12, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
3/10	"Dear fictional character Rick O'Connell, you can't roll your eyes about a magic knife being the only thing to kill a raised-from-the-dead emperor if you've already lived through two other unreal adventures." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 5, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
3/10	"If your perfect weekend is Nascar and country music, with barely any political discussion, then this is your cup of tea ... I mean bottle of beer." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Aug 5, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	40%
N/A	"Pineapple Express is about a stoner (Seth Rogen) who has to go on the run when he witnesses a murder and the only person he can turn to is his dealer (James Franco). Chaos ensues." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 31, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
5/10	"You do get to see Ferrell's ball sack, which might be a draw for some, but otherwise it's a mess. Ferrell and Reilly bicker and it should be better." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 29, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	50%
4/10	"X-Files: I Want to Believe -- it's almost like a mantra that Chris Carter is trying to get the audience to hear. Say it enough times and they will believe. Well, that's not the case." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 29, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
9/10	"*I say this with a smile from ear to ear, there is too much of a good thing. The Dark Knight* is the best adult superhero film of all time.*" -- The Scorecard Review* Posted Jul 22, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
7/10	"*This is entertainment, not a movie. And as entertainment goes, Mamma Mia!* belts it out of the park.*" -- The Scorecard Review* Posted Jul 22, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
6/10	"If you can turn off your mind, and I know that is pretty easy for most of us, then you'll get a kick out of this 3D journey." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 15, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
6/10	"This ensemble piece works if you know Los Angeles. After all, it's very possible for a homeless kid, pot-smoking Realtor, young model and a number of perverts to cross paths in that town." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 15, 2008	Garden Party (2008)	11%
6/10	"Hellboy is it's own world. That is a compliment and also the problem. Director Guillermo del Toro has envisioned a fantastic looking world, but it's just a vision." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 15, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
N/A	"Writer/director Jason Freeland has crafted an intertwining tale of young people in L.A. looking to break through, escape, or just get laid." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 9, 2008	Garden Party (2008)	11%
3/10	"The Love Guru is a mess. I am still comfortable believing Myers is a comic genius, but it's no where to be seen here." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
6/10	"The film does stand on it's own two feet, thanks mainly to Norton who should have demanded having Banner run a little more, and Hulk smash a little less." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
4/10	"It's a great idea. A silent, unknown killing machine knocking people off while a science teacher tries to figure out why. But it just didn't work." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
7/10	"The phrase, imitation is the best form of flattery, has been said to death. But, since there is a lot of death in Wanted I figured I was allowed to break it out again." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
10/10	"Saving the world became secondary to the power of holding hands. There is an amazing amount of life and humanity throughout and a quality message to boot." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
4/10	"Will Smith, Fourth of July, superhero ... it all seems to add up to a great combination. But they only made half a film." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
6/10	"I wanted more unearthed footage. But if you are looking for a tribute to the man, you won't find anything better." -- The Scorecard Review Posted Jul 4, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	88%
5/10	"It has some decent eye candy, but overall this film is bluffing if they think it's a great, intelligent blackjack film. I know I just used a poker term, but I doubt 21 would have noticed." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 28, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
7/10	"Here's what I hoped for: someone to root for, someone to root against, an inspiring coach, some eye candy and, of course, training montages. I got what I wanted." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	24%
8/10	"*Period comedies are a tough act to swallow for some, but if you are on the fence at all, please make sure Miss Pettigrew* lives for more than just one day.*" -- Daily Herald (IL)* Posted Mar 7, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
5/10	"It isn't bad, but it can't find a rhythm between being based on a true, ugly story and trying to be a fun bank heist film." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	79%
N/A	"Bruce Willis interview" -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%

5/10	"There isn't an enjoyable character in the bunch of this tragedy that constantly spirals downward." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
3/10	"Charlie Bartlett is a poor man's Rushmore. There is a great film waiting to be made about psychiatry, anti-depressants and our youth, but this isn't it." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
8/10	"For all the unnatural setup, it's amazing that the performances come off so naturally." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
6/10	"It is supposed to be a raucous ride of laughter, but it's thin on one important aspect: the jokes." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
B	"It's the closest a film has ever gotten to a roller-coaster ride. It will definitely nauseate, it feels claustrophobic, there are sudden scares, and it also peaks too early." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
8/10	"This is Colin Farrell's best work in years and proof that Woody Allen is an old dog, and these are new tricks." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	51%
5/10	"*There are only a few moments that feel genuine and allow Katherine Heigel to smile. 27 Dresses* is chock-full of cheese and eventually runs out of material.*" -- Daily Herald (IL)* Posted Mar 4, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
3/10	"*Comedy is difficult, but it seems like Mad Money* didn't even try. It's very hard to find the jokes.*" -- Daily Herald (IL)* Posted Mar 4, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	21%
B-	"If Day-Lewis isn't front and center, the film drags with themes such as oil vs. religion, and greed is always around..." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
A-	"It captures pure terror. It's horrific. That's horror plus terrific. It's almost impossible for a film like this to be lumped into the same category as..." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
C-	"At one point Morgan Freeman's character shouts, 'This was supposed to be fun.' I couldn't agree more." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Bucket List (2007)	42%
B	"Showcasing the history is done with care and purpose, but I wanted more. I wanted more time between Washington and Forest Whitaker. I wanted more..." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
B+	"The camera techniques used actually give the audience just a hint of what it must be like to live with a fully aware mind, and one working eye." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
D	"This is the perfect example of what can happen when a producer/director/writer doesn't have to answer to anyone. Coppola makes an artistic mess." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
C	"It was Irish overkill. There didn't seem to be a chronological plan with the letters, so poor Holly is just forced to sit and wait to hear from her dead husband." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	P.S. I Love You (2007)	20%
D	"If you desperately need to escape the house this holiday season, avoid this treasure and see something else." -- Daily Herald (IL) Posted Mar 4, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
