3.5/5	" That pervasive sense of the humanistic, along with judicious use of, but not overreliance on, special effects and some exceptionally clever staging of actors...should earn Ghost Town some fast and furious word of mouth." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
2/5	" English means to resurrect the original play's highly evolved '30s era feminism for a post-feminist audience, but the result feels more like a dusted-off quilting circle with an improved sense of style." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 11, 2008	The Women (2008)	10%
2/5	" What fans of the original will immediately glean from the quasi-remake, now simply titled Death Race, is just how prophetic Bartel's film was … and how desperately the new film needs its forebear's sense of irony." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
3.5/5	" Something of an intriguing contradiction—on one level an atypical Sundance film, grittily accomplished and unabashedly self-important, while at the same time refreshingly hopeful and subtly earnest in ways that few Sundance films ever dare." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 1, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	86%
2/5	" *If only it actually were* that fun.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
2/5	" It takes roughly 45 minutes for the film to start formulating some semblance of plot, but it's too little too late." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
3.5/5	" Guirado's genuine affection for the people of Provence and their genteel lifestyle engenders an honest warmth and coziness that carries the film breezily through its less-inspired moments." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Grocer's Son (2008)	88%
4.5/5	" Far from offering traditional summer escapism...a brainy, action-packed morality play meant to throttle the audience, body and mind, for a solid 152 minutes and haunt them for days and weeks later." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3/5	" A surefooted and frequently touching revisionist retelling of the Abrahamic narrative that, while hardly revolutionary, is certainly evocative and provocative." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 11, 2008	My Father My Lord (2008)	93%
4/5	" Though it arrives nearly three decades too late for Mackenzie to enjoy its resurrection, it comes none too soon to enthrall serious cinephiles seeking respite from the assaultive bombast of studio summer blockbusters." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	90%
2/5	" The audience is made uncomfortably complicit in a callous and hypocritical game in which any and all human life becomes secondary to a momentary movie thrill." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
4/5	" Love and Honor is a welcome affirmation of Yamada�s determination to maintain his historic workload, even while in his 70s." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 20, 2008	Love and Honor (2008)	80%
1/5	" Outdated, unfunny, juvenile and at times downright perplexing, the intended New Age satire comes off more like an over-expensive schoolyard prank; bathroom graffiti come to life across an 86-minute, patience-straining running time." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
2.5/5	" That Leterrier is not particularly strong with character and acting further compounds the problem, leaving audiences with little to cling to but cartoon monsters and cardboard humans." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
1.5/5	" It�s painfully unfunny and cumbersome for extended stretches, necessitating bizarre story detours to jumpstart jokes that, though funny, often seem completely misplaced." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
2/5	" Utterly unnecessary, unbelievably uninspired and preposterous beyond all imagination." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 23, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
5/5	" Arguably the funniest spy spoof ever made." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
2/5	" The story mechanics don�t always work�the film vacillates between feeling heartfelt and clumsy." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 2, 2008	A Plumm Summer (2008)	25%
2.5/5	" That the film can�t seem to keep a cohesive tone is an undeniable irritant, but somehow director Paul Weiland...manages to massage such endearing performances from a very capable cast that the bad patches feel more like unfortunate hitches." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
3.5/5	" Psychological insights and powerhouse performances combine to form a consistently engaging narrative." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 30, 2008	Four Minutes (2007)	76%
0/5	" These are strictly movies by stoners, about stoners and for stoners. If they offer any service to humanity, it will be to help authorities corral the dregs of society as they congregate in theatres and ship the lot of them to Guantanamo Bay." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 25, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
3/5	" The Forbidden Kingdom treads its path just right to please genre and action/adventure fans on both sides of the globe." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
3/5	" One of the slipperiest teenage coming-of-age dramas in quite some time." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	79%
3/5	" Despite a finale that fails to live up to the promise of its premise, Flawless still manages to be a polished throwback to the great British crime thrillers of the �60s, and a welcome return to form for director Michael Radford." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 28, 2008	Flawless (2007)	59%
2/5	" *The latest entry in this perplexing preoccupation with lowlifes is Boarding Gate, an astonishingly un-thrilling thriller." -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	25%
	" an odd and sloppy grab bag of bits and concepts likely to appeal only to hardcore fans while leaving others scratching their heads." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	51%
	" The caliber of this picture�s writing, directing and acting, along with the clear chances the filmmakers are willing to take, should not be understated." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	76%
	" A textured and thoughtful effort that transcends sexuality, culture and even language." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	Vivere (2008)	47%
	" The formula for a Will Ferrell comedy, say critics, is becoming painfully obvious: Pick an offbeat occupation, usually in sports, add a funny hairstyle and silly name and unleash Ferrell. Comedy ensues. Or not." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
	" It�s an odd, disjointed, but curiously appealing effort that could attain cult status if only for the fact that it�s so incredibly strange." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008	Dead Man's Bounty (2007)	38%
	" This insipid, staggeringly dumb entry from New Line stoops to unprecedented new lows likely to stun even the most jaded cynic." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	14%
	" It's an important and indelible work, excruciatingly difficult to watch and impossible to forget." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 1, 2008	Falling (2008)	n/a
	" The film veers into formulaic Disney Channel territory." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
	" Charlie Wilson�s War ends up following an artistic tack not unlike the political tack it aims to depict -- a well-intentioned and initially successful campaign ultimately undone by short-sightedness and bureaucratic meddling." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 5, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
2/5	" Lin is simply trying to stretch a modest idea too far." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	Finishing the Game (2007)	35%
3/5	" *Director Peter Berg has come a long way since his days as an unremarkable character actor, and this follow-up to Friday Night Lights* confirms it.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
3/5	" Director Ron Hardy�s heartfelt, if somewhat tepid, adaptation of Michael Noonan�s coming-of-age novel harks back to the days of the Australian New Wave, when films about isolation, loneliness and the existential dilemmas of life on an island continent." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 14, 2007	December Boys (2007)	43%
2/5	" Fact, fiction and chronology are juggled and blurred with such abandon that piecing it all together is bound to be a fruitless and frustrating effort." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2007	Klimt (2006)	29%
4/5	" What�s undeniable is that Johnnie To has, at long last, emerged as the equal of his very best contemporaries, no longer simply one of Hong Kong�s most prolific filmmakers but one of its finest." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2007	Exiled (2007)	81%
1.5/5	" An already thin veneer of historical truth wears off fairly quickly in this surprisingly dull and melodramatic low-budget western." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 30, 2007	September Dawn (2007)	13%
3.5/5	" A prickly look at the poisonous nature of celebrity and the unsavory subculture it breeds around the edges." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 30, 2007	Delirious (2007)	85%
4/5	" One of the year�s most enjoyable surprises." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
2.5/5	" Although the film does eventually give up its referential conceits, it comes far too late in the game to salvage any real emotional investment in the characters or their plight." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 10, 2007	Becoming Jane (2007)	57%
2.5/5	" *Nine years after the first Rush Hour* and a whopping six years after Rush Hour 2, the buddy chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is finally showing signs of fatigue.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Aug 10, 2007	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
2/5	" A merciful dearth of plot in favor of mindless set pieces, so-so effects work and passable PG-rated humor." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 11, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
3.5/5	" One need not harbor a deep and abiding passion for soccer in order to connect with is likely to be the summer of 2007�s most honest and emotionally rewarding movie." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 1, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
3.5/5	" It�s not Veber�s best, but it�s certain good enough." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 20, 2007	The Valet (2007)	69%
3/5	" A garishly colored pastiche of classic Thai movie genres that draws liberally on both American and Hong Kong influences." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 2, 2007	Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)	76%
3.5/5	" The movie contains surprisingly little CGI, instead focusing on the kids, their unique bond and the powerful life lessons that come as a result of their adventures." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 16, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	85%
1.5/5	" *Oh, what a dreaded Pandora�s Box has been opened by the success of the Harry Potter* and The Lord of the Rings franchises.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Jan 12, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
