Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
B-	"Compellingly paced, grandly acted, glossily photographed and often as entertaining as some guilty-pleasure Lana Turner melodrama of the '50s." Posted May 15, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	84%
A-	"The tongue-in-cheek humor, which relentlessly lampoons action-movie conventions and the die-hard European colonial mentality, is consistently clever and witty, and the movie is a scream." Posted May 8, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
B-	"*As a summer thrill machine, Speed Racer* is far from supercharged.*" Posted May 8, 2008*	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
C-	"If Grey's Anatomy heartthrob Patrick Dempsey is to ever fulfill his long-standing ambition of becoming an A-list Hollywood movie star, he's going to have to make much better choices of material than the annoying romantic comedy, Made of Honor." Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
A-	"Is it possible to have yet another expensive excursion into this genre that seems in any way fresh, original and alive? The answer, surprisingly, is yes." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
B	"It sure inspired me to make plans for Emerald Downs." Posted Apr 24, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	72%
C-	"Cho and Penn don't have the needed personality or comic identity to sustain a franchise and their non-drug humor is so crude and scatological that -- to say the least -- it leaves a very bad taste in the mouth." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	56%
C-	"A bore." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
B-	"Spurlock is good company: a more likable, less abrasive, less manipulative Michael Moore." Posted Apr 21, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
B	"It's Tautou's showcase and if her endlessly calculating Irene displays little of the childlike innocence Hepburn gave the role, she brings her own magic to the table. Every move she makes is endearing and she's never looked more stylishly beautiful." Posted Apr 17, 2008	Priceless (2008)	85%
A-	"In The Visitor, Jenkins finally gets a starring role, and he makes the most of the opportunity with a brilliantly sustained performance that gives depth, resonance and spiritual transcendence to what starts out to be one of his stock characters." Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
D	"At 68, Pacino still has the chops to give a scene a moment of raw power. But it's clear he could care less about this story, his performance has no conviction, and he's mostly emitting sparks of self-parody." Posted Apr 17, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
B	"*After its rough opening, Smart People* settles down to be a funny, wryly enjoyable, effortlessly poignant parable of family life and a splendid showcase for its cast.*" Posted Apr 11, 2008*	Smart People (2008)	49%
C+	"The Keanu Reeves cop movie Street Kings is a viscerally compelling but thematically confused mess of an action noir that plumbs new depths of cynicism about contemporary American life in general and the Los Angeles Police Department in particular." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
B	"*It would be easy to categorize the Lebanese women's picture Caramel* as a Levantine combination of Sex in the City and Beauty Shop, but it's actually a lot smarter, sharper and deeper than that.*" Posted Apr 3, 2008*	Caramel (2008)	91%
C	"Such an air of dumbness hovers over the movie, and it's all played so broadly that nothing about it is remotely believable." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
A-	"The movie is an exhilarating musical experience, an extraordinary testament to the unprecedented longevity and steady artistic growth of the band." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
B-	"Most of the gags work, but the shtick is overdone and Clooney finally runs out of charming reactions to the world's abuse." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
B-	"*While there are good things about it, Stop-Loss* is nothing spectacular.*" Posted Mar 27, 2008*	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
D-	"One thing you can say about Michael Haneke's unbelievably brutal thriller, Funny Games, is that it's an experience: an unpleasant, unsettling, cruelly manipulative and finally hateful experience, but an experience nonetheless." Posted Mar 13, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	49%
B-	"*The Depression-era Cinderella comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day* is sporadically enjoyable and always gorgeous to behold.*" Posted Mar 7, 2008*	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
b	"Austrian director-writer Stefan Ruzowitzky does an extraordinary job of setting up this central moral dilemma: of making the situation both credible and not nearly as ethically cut and dry as it might sound." Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
C	"This movie is an imaginative idea that, in execution, just doesn't come off." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Military Intelligence and You! (2008)	38%
B+	"Not much of a visual epic maybe, but an absorbing, exciting costume drama that works as a historical romance, a family tragedy and a showcase for its young stars." Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
D	"Thankfully, the film is rated R, which should theoretically bar it from most of its intended high school audience." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	53%
C	"The proceedings soon deteriorate into one more tedious slugfest, with some laughably inane dialogue and so many story holes that you quickly lose count." Posted Feb 14, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
C	"The script is fatally stupid, most of the gags fall flat, the secondary characters add little, Hudson fails to make anything interesting out of the exasperated heroine, and the endless references to McConaughey's sexual prowess finally become revolting." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
B	"A perfectly titled and thoroughly engaging -- if at times gleefully violent -- black comedy." Posted Feb 7, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
B-	"It makes its points and is more cultural evidence of just how harshly history is likely to judge our ill-fated adventure in the Middle East." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Grace is Gone (2007)	58%
a	"So technologically advanced and totally exhilarating in every way that it may just make all the other '08 concert films obsolete." Posted Jan 23, 2008	U2 3D (2008)	92%
c+	"Enough of it works that you leave it with a sense that it was weak, but not a complete waste of time." Posted Jan 17, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	21%
b-	"This family tragedy puts us somewhere near the edge of our seats and pulls us right along its downward spiral." Posted Jan 17, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	50%
B	"The glory of the movie is Reilly's performance, which is executed with a perfectly straight face and no hint of self-consciousness." Posted Jan 4, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	74%
b	"An absorbing and well-made indie drama." Posted Jan 4, 2008	He Was a Quiet Man (2007)	76%
a	"*Likely to cement the reputation of Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights) as the best of the younger American auteur filmmakers." Posted Jan 4, 2008*	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
B-	"The special-effects creature is a fairly marvelous creation." Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
B-	"As the kids struggle with their coach's tough love, their own hormones (at times, the team descends into a dysfunctional love triangle) and Jim Crow racism at its ugliest, it's easy to root for them." Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	79%
B+	"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly would seem to be the last word in affliction movies. But it goes against that movie formula at every turn and proves to be a unique experience." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
B+	"Charlie Wilson's War, is a witty, literate, wryly sophisticated parable of American politics: just the kind of movie that Hollywood, in its search for the global audience, supposedly doesn't make anymore." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
B	"In its way, it's almost daringly radical in its old-fashioned sentimentality." Posted Dec 21, 2007	P.S. I Love You (2007)	21%
D	"*A step away from Springtime for Hitler* -- a classic awful.*" Posted Dec 13, 2007*	Romance & Cigarettes (2007)	53%
D	"A sleazy, uninspired, pathetically unfunny sex farce." Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Amateurs (2007)	14%
B-	"A qualified success." Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
B	"The performances carry the day." Posted Dec 13, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
B	"The movie year's most expensive and ambitious sci-fi spectacular, I Am Legend, is three movies in one: a futuristic effects-o-rama, a zombie thriller and a survivalist parable. Each is better than average, and the experience is fairly gripping." Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	68%
C	"Under all the stylistic flash and dash, his movie is barely comprehensible; its big surprise ending is no surprise at all; and its coda almost seems like an insult." Posted Dec 6, 2007	Revolver (2007)	16%
B-	"Wright brings off enough scenes to leave us with moderately good feelings about the time spent, but he lacks the David Lean-like vision and flair that might have turned this 75-year epic of love, war and family betrayal into an unforgettable movie." Posted Dec 6, 2007	Atonement (2007)	82%
A	"More than a dozen sequences defy description, and the vast battle scenes of Austerlitz and Borodino have no equal." Posted Dec 6, 2007	War and Peace (1968)	100%
B	"An entertaining and eye-opening Christmas documentary." Posted Nov 29, 2007	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	65%
B	"It's realistic enough to admit that there's probably no way to ever completely eradicate an evil for which there seems to be such an eager demand." Posted Nov 29, 2007	Holly (2007)	62%
