D+	"When a 23-year-old male Anchorman fan would rather see a romance with Jenkins and Steenburgen than an R-rated comedy with Ferrell, you know something went horrible wrong." Posted Jul 28, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	51%
A	"Squaring off the best-ever Batman and the best-ever Joker would've been enough, but director Nolan sticks them inside an ensemble crime saga that should make Scorsese proud." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
A-	"The unique point of view -- from a guy who used to take steroids and has two brothers who still do -- is the reason to see this." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
B+	"A collision of Black's signature humor with a succession of surprisingly awesome fight scenes." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
B	"There are a handful of legitimately funny jokes, even though -- though it frightens me to say so -- I don't get as excited as I got when I was fifteen." Posted Jul 1, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
B	"I'm still not too enthusiastic about the character, but the film is fast-paced, well-acted, and captures that elusive 'comic book feel.'" Posted Jul 1, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
C-	"Usually Shyamalan can hide his limitations as a screenwriter behind his skill as a director. Here, that skill fails him as well, and the whole movie falls apart." Posted Jul 1, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
C	"Myers has a borderline-pathological need to mock Verne Troyer's height. It stops being funny quickly." Posted Jul 1, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
B-	"Even if you've never watched the TV show in your life, you'll have the nagging feeling that you've seen it all before." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
B	"It's fun, but it's sillier than The Love Guru." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
B	"*The let's-take-a-road-trip method of character healing has been done to death, but unlike Little Miss Sunshine, James & Tara are made up of more than just cute quirks." Posted Jun 4, 2008*	Sleepwalking (2008)	19%
B	"It's a mishmash of homages to writer/director Neil Marshall's favorite B movies. That doesn't make it bad at all, though; it ends up being quite entertaining." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Doomsday (2008)	48%
B-	"There are only three types of [legal] U.S. citizens in the film: cartoonish rich elitists, drug addicts, and whiny young Chicanos who've shunned their Mexican heritage." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	73%
B+	"The vast majority of 21 is pure fun; I would've loved to give it an unqualified rave, so its flaws are especially annoying." Posted Jun 4, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
C	"[The protagonist is] a petty, unlikable loser." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
B+	"Shine a Light is at once an ode to [Scorsese's] longtime muses, a look at the arc of their career, and a rollicking concert film." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
B-	"My Blueberry Nights plays much like a dream; different vignettes fade into each other ... [but] nothing ever quite adds up." Posted Jun 4, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
A-	"The lack of ego and relatively little self-pity [wheelchair-bound Tomas] Young has is astounding." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Body of War (2008)	71%
B+	"This is yet another indie populated by quirky characters %u2013 it's no surprise that it came out of Sundance %u2013 but for once, it doesn't overdo the quirk, minus a few exceptions." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
B	"An unapologetically old-fashioned fantasy ... solid enough entertainment for grown-ups, but something that many kids will absolutely adore." Posted Jun 3, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
C+	"On one level, it's unfair to penalize a pretty decent movie for not being a great movie, but then again, Fey has proved time and time again that she can do better than this." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
B	"A surprisingly 'post-9/11' movie, it combines typical stoner humor with a plot about ethnic profiling, torture, and War on Terror paranoia. But, like, in a funny way." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	55%
B-	"A number of young boys attended the screening I went to, and none of them seemed to be quite sure when they were supposed to laugh." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
A-	"*Jon Favreau is the real deal. The actor-turned-director shows us, with Iron Man, that he has a major talent in exploiting what fundamentally pumps audiences up." Posted Jun 3, 2008*	Iron Man (2008)	93%
A-	"In the novel, all the back story is clumsily dumped in the first few chapters ... in the movie, it's structured a lot more logically, and cinematically." Posted Jun 3, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
C+	"[Rhys-Meyers's performance is] the perfect microcosm for the entire film: capable but bland." Posted Jun 3, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	27%
B+	"*It's a lot more dystopian than I thought it would be, at times reminiscent of something as nutty as Brazil." Posted Jun 3, 2008*	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
B	"With at least eight screenwriters hired to work on different drafts over the years ... it's a minor miracle that the finished film works as well as it does." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
D	"*A skilled director could take the same exact script from 88 Minutes, change maybe three or four lines, and shoot it as a spoof movie. It's that close to self-parody." Posted Apr 17, 2008*	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
A-	"The movie boils down to a lot of tough-talking men trying to out-tough-talk each other. It's well-staged action stitched together by nonstop pissing-match dialogue." Posted Apr 17, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
