" After a sensuous introductory act, The Reader descends into a series of dismaying contradictions regarding the moral toxins of the Holocaust -- which still pollute postwar Germany." -- Boston Globe
Posted Dec 24, 2008
 
The Reader (2008)60%
/
2.5/4
 
" The movie never captures the crucial leap that made the book a hit. It's never Marley & Us." -- Boston Globe

Marley & Me (2008)59%

2/4
 
" Bedtime Stories is baloney on Wonder Bread with a Kraft Single and some Miracle Whip -- barely lunchable." -- Boston Globe

Bedtime Stories (2008)23%

3/4
 
" A skillfully managed fairy tale about a mouse, a rat, and fairy tales in general." -- Boston Globe

The Tale of Despereaux (2008)55%

2/4
 
" It's a cynical attempt, ultimately, to make obnoxious people palatable by throwing them into a tub of romantic comedy." -- Boston Globe

Yes Man (2008)43%

2.5/4
 
" How About You is based on a Maeve Binchy story about the residents of an Irish retirement home." -- Boston Globe

" Delgo demonstrates how hard it is to create a memorable, credible-looking piece of animated entertainment." -- Boston Globe

" Not flagrant enough to be vile, not original enough to be any good, Nobel Son does offer a rare opportunity to see Alan Rickman at his worst." -- Boston Globe

" As drama, it's a chore." -- Boston Globe

Transsiberian (2008)90%

" The beauty of Let the Right One In resides in the way the horror remains grounded in a tragic kind of love." -- Boston Globe

" Frankly, Quantum of Solace is just one exasperated dressing down away from being Lethal Weapon 9." -- Boston Globe

Quantum of Solace (2008)65%

3.5/4
 
" Synecdoche, New York comes as close as any film has to explaining the epic indignity of the creative process, how some great works collapse beneath their own abstraction." -- Boston Globe

2/4
 
" Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac appear to be having a good time, and for most of this raunchy, poorly orchestrated buddy comedy, that's enough." -- Boston Globe
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
Soul Men (2008)44%

" The Other End of the Line ends up being a five-minute ad for buyer's insurance instead of an interminable interracial, international, intercultural romantic comedy." -- Boston Globe

3/4
 
" It's the perfect image for a man whose vivid music appeared to be fighting its way into sharper focus." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell (2008)n/a
/
4/4
 
" The movie is a beacon of independent filmmaking, not simply because Hammer opted more or less to self-distribute it, but because it's evident that we're a million miles away from Hollywood." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Ballast (2008)87%

Saw V (2008)15%
/
2.5/4
 
" The kids now know how to play the game of college admissions, but they seem more jaded by their knowledge than entitled to success. And their exasperation with the process, their peers, and themselves is endlessly, illuminatingly watchable." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Frontrunners (2008)88%
/
2/4
 
" It lacks the psychological realism of certain decent dramas and is too reliant on cheap pratfalls and Cavanagh's pinched approach to comedy." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Breakfast with Scot (2008)50%
/
3/4
 
" The film has been remastered and reordered. But the story, such as it is, remains secondary to Wong's sensibility. Even in violence, the movie billows and lilts." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Ashes of Time Redux (2008)80%
/
2/4
 
" Eastwood overcompensates for the movie's meandering with a succession of hysterics -- from men, women, and children." -- Boston Globe

Changeling (2008)59%
/
3/4
 
" Deftly weaves the continent's ongoing political upheavals -- particularly Argentina's own roiling cauldron of extremism, coups, and corruption - with the recollections of people mourning the missing." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 20, 2008
 
Our Disappeared (2008)n/a

2.5/4
 
" Vicky Cristina Barcelona is fitfully good." -- Boston Globe

Max Payne (2008)18%

3.5/4
 
" Kent Mackenzie's magnificent, long-undistributed, unclassifiable first feature, The Exiles, stands as a rare consideration of the inner and outer lives of American Indians in a big American city." -- Boston Globe

The Exiles (1961)89%

" Saving Marriage is a well-meaning but unremarkable documentary." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
Saving Marriage (2008)81%
/
2.5/4
 
" We get little explanation in the way of tactics or technique, and the filmmakers have compressed time into a bunch of cuts and platitudes about how the race will change the competitors' lives." -- Boston Globe

Morning Light (2008)26%

" Prince-Bythewood demonstrates a lovely gift for capturing the unsaid." -- Boston Globe

The Secret Life of Bees (2008)56%
/
3/4
 
" The movie's success in Italy is partly a matter of frustration: Women need their men to grow up." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Days and Clouds (2008)81%
/
3/4
 
" Demme and screenwriter Jenny Lumet have given us an epic rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception that's half-cabaret, half group-therapy session, and completely multiracial, multicultural, and multisensory." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Rachel Getting Married (2008)87%
/
2/4
 
" Aside from managing to get made at all, the movie doesn't do Davis's legacy any favors by giving us the store-brand version of his life." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
The Express (2008)62%
/
3/4
 
" A warmly made, slightly offbeat movie about friendly devotion. It also happens to be a western, and every man in it is grizzled or wizened or both." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Appaloosa (2008)75%
/
3/4
 
" A perversely enjoyable, occasionally harrowing adaptation of José Saramago's 1995 disaster allegory." -- Boston Globe
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Blindness (2008)40%
/
2/4
 
" As an exchange of ideas, this is a hopeless project, since Maher's doubt is as immovable as his interviewees' certainty." -- Boston Globe

Religulous (2008)71%

" For most of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, all I could think about was Drew Barrymore. What might she have been up to while she recited her lines for Chloe, the spoiled yet sad-looking live-action Chihuahua that speaks in her voice." -- Boston Globe

" The movie might have something to say about black racism, but the conversations go nowhere, and the cliches of the genre take over." -- Boston Globe

Lakeview Terrace (2008)49%

1.5/4
 
" The movie is a work of ambivalence. Is English making fun of these women? Or is she making a pilot for Lifetime? It's hard to tell." -- Boston Globe
