" An otherwise tired vanity project."

Filth and Wisdom (2008)46%

" Cera and Dennings’ pouting is obviously not clever or even jaded enough for their stale one-liners to sustain them as anything more than just walking scapegoats for the pretentious."
Posted Oct 1, 2008
 
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)72%
/
 
" In his attempt to make the audience sympathize with Hallam, [director] Mackenzie uses the cheapest trick in the book: attempting to give the audience a link into his head with a manic soundtrack."

Mister Foe (2008)75%

" An impressive document of devotion that miraculously stems from still-festering pain."
Posted Aug 20, 2008
 
Trouble the Water (2008)97%

" The film’s cerebral affectations unravel because neither one is ultimately able to carry the film’s disjointed plot."
Posted Aug 13, 2008
 
A Girl Cut in Two (2008)85%
/
 
" Apart from the new ground Ahsoka breaks as the first female Jedi, The Clone Wars is a pointless experiment in computer-generated (CG) animation."

" Screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar stuff Dragon Emperor with the same kind of disjointed details that almost ruined the jubilantly preposterous atmosphere of the conspiracy theory hokum in David Koepp’s Crystal Skull screenplay."
Posted Aug 7, 2008
 
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)13%

" Thanks to its focus on internal struggle and domestically confined drama, Love and Honor is the wilting lily of Yamada’s trilogy, albeit an exceptionally satisfying romance."

Love and Honor (2008)80%

" In Canary, the audience is encouraged to sit back and allow sleepily serene scenes of quiet isolation to limit their opinions to tranquil tsk-tsks."

Canary (2008)67%

" Marsh’s film may not probe very deeply into Petit’s character, or try to conjecture what his accomplishment means in a post-9/11 environment, but it does make for a wonderful caper, which is exactly how Petit envisioned it."
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
Man on Wire (2008)100%

" It may make no sense to throw logic out the window, but that’s exactly what makes Detective such an unhinged blast."
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
Mad Detective (2008)83%
/
 
" It's not serious enough to be anything more than gee-whiz fun whose gentle touch is more slight than light by the end."
Posted Jul 9, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%
/
 
" It’s a 110-minute-long ending with no end in sight."
Posted Jul 9, 2008
 
Days and Clouds (2008)82%
/
 
" All the clues make sense when pieced together -- but only on the surface."
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
Tell No One (2008)92%

" Yawn-worthy."
Posted Jun 25, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)73%

" Harlan Ellison is irresistibly snarky, persistently cynical and preternaturally intelligent, and so are his stories. Dreams with Sharp Teeth illustrates that well by training an eye on his larger-than-life personality and his considerable accomplishments."
Posted Jun 4, 2008
 
Dreams with Sharp Teeth (2008)94%

" Since it’s a sweet, funny and relatively quiet film, the lack of Big Thoughts is easily overlooked. [Director] Meadows has given himself a much-needed break, and it’s a very satisfying one at that."
Posted Apr 30, 2008
 
Somers Town (2008)89%
