2.5/4	" At times you feel as if you should raise your arms and shout "Hallelujah" or "Amen!"" -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Aug 21, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	36%
2/4	" The movie makes no demands on its audience, except to cheer in all the right places." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Aug 21, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
3.5/4	" It spoofs the magic of movies, the narcissism, insecurities and ego-driven minds of actors, the cliches of action films and the bottom-line mentality of studio bosses." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Aug 13, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
3.5/4	" Even as you watch, though, you begin to wonder how much is real life and how much of what you see was "staged" because the teens knew a camera was watching." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Aug 10, 2008	American Teen (2008)	69%
3.5/4	" It is all very civilized with people retaining their manners even as they verbally shred an individual's dignity or remind them of their station in the social order." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Aug 10, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	63%
2/4	" It is one of those movies for which you make a mental check list of familiar sequences you've seen in previous efforts ..." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
4/4	" Ledger is magnificently malevolent. He creates a character who revels in mayhem, a criminal with no agenda other than to spread terror." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2/4	" "Hancock" is not a bad movie, just an underachieving one. It lacks a "wow" factor. It is bland and routine and flies off in too many directions." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3.5/4	" "Wanted" is a loud and explosive extravaganza of film editing, stunt work and cinematic hocus-pocus that adds up to close to two hours of escapist fun." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
4/4	" "WALL-E" is a gem and continues Pixar's amazing winning streak of animated hits." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2.5/4	" "Get Smart" offers some pleasing homages to its predecessor and an adequate amount of laughs. But what the feature sorely needed was more chaos and less control." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
3/4	" "The Incredible Hulk" emphasizes action and special effects. ... But it is what fans expect and hoped for and it will not disappoint." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
4/4	" From start to finish, the chapters roll by offering fans of the genre chases, explosions, gun battles, fistfights and well-done cliffhangers." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 9, 2008	Daredevils of the West (1943)	n/a
0/4	" The movie paints crude and insulting portraits of Israelis and Palestinians, going in for the basest stereotypes that would only bring a smile to the face of a Klansman." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
2.5/4	" Much of it is exciting; the action sequences, the fights, the stunts are rousing, but they also seem familiar and a bit routine." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
2/4	" At times the film feels like Hot Wheels on either steroids or LSD - or both." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
3/4	" What sets the movie apart ... is that ... it is not bogged down with the "with great power comes great responsibility" mantra that weighs upon other costumed crusaders." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
3/4	" There isn't really much plot to Harold and Kumar, just a lot of scatological humor, sex and body parts as well as body function jokes." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
1.5/4	" "88 Minutes" is one of those thrillers in which characters seem to run all over the place and talk a lot on cell phones. Yet nothing really seems to get accomplished." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	5%
1.5/4	" "Leatherheads" lacks flair and pizzazz. Like a highly touted No. 1 draft pick who flops, it is all potential without substance." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	52%
3/4	" The movie's ending will not satisfy everyone, but it does avoid typical Hollywood conventions. Whether it is the correct finale is something you will have to search your own heart to answer." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Apr 1, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
2/4	" It's a gamble whether or not "21" will provide enough excitement to make you shout, "Winner, winner, chicken dinner."" -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Apr 1, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
2/4	" "Drillbit Taylor" ... raises the question about why in today's teen-age movies must every high school bully appear to have taken lessons at the Hannibal Lector School of Psychopathic Adolescents." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Mar 24, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
0/4	" What is most extraordinary about Semi-Pro is that someone actually provided money to produce it. The funding probably came from someone who did not - or could not - read the script." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
1.5/4	" Basically, Vantage Point is a don't-ask-and-we-won't-tell movie. We are just supposed to sit back and ride along without questioning where we are being driven." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Feb 27, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
1/4	" The only people who will get any enjoyment out of this feature are those who love to ogle Matthew McConaughey shirtless ..." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Feb 7, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	11%
1.5/4	" Cassandra's Dream lacks energy and spark. Monotonous and simplistic, it is definitely not worthy of Woody Allen." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jan 30, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	51%
1.5/4	" Untraceable is a movie whose potential was tossed aside for the conventional trappings of the serial-killer genre." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jan 30, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	16%
1/4	" 27 Dresses is cinema for the simple-minded. Everything is spelled out for the audience in capital block letters." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jan 18, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
3.5/4	" What sets the film apart, really, is that the monster is just a backdrop. The main focus centers on how a small group of people cope and react under such an extreme crisis." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Jan 17, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
3.5/4	" The weight of current events in Iraq and Afghanistan push at the back of your mind as you watch the film." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Dec 20, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
3.5/4	" Delightfully gruesome, it is laced with morbid humor, and yet a sense of tragedy and loss weighs heavily upon it. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Dec 20, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
2/4	" The movie ... seems to mutate into a clone of 28 Days Later since the virus not only has altered those infected ... but have transformed many of them into CGI figures ..." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
3.5/4	" The movie is not so much a biography as a fragmented tour through Dylan�s various personas and psyches." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Dec 11, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
2.5/4	" Golden Compass lacks any real fantastic flair. It is a decent enough feature, but is short of that spell-binding quality that will allow audiences to embrace it." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Dec 9, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
3.5/4	" Joel and Ethan Coen, working from a novel by Cormac McCarthy, have made one of the darkest and best movies of the year." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 21, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
2.5/4	" The Mist is a disappointment, not so much for what is on the screen, but for what it could have been." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 21, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
2.5/4	" Children will find the feature enchanting, while adults may not be so easily impressed." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 16, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
1.5/4	" Beowulf may contain all the modern movie magic at Zemeckis� disposal, but it plays like something Cecil B. DeMille could have churned out in his sleep ... ." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 16, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
1/4	" No one in the movie speaks like a real person. Even the youngest cast member talks as if footlights and a proscenium hemmed him in. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 3, 2007	Martian Child (2007)	30%
3/4	" Bee Movie is fun, if not formulaic in its humor and story approach. The writers threw in every ... bee joke and situation you could think of, yet the movie still works." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
2.5/4	" American Gangster is as impersonal and clinical as a police report. It lacks fire, passion and the operatic bravura you would expect from the clash of these ... acting titans." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Nov 2, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
1.5/4	" The movie contains the usual palace intrigue and overblown dialogue. The only line missing is the one referring to Elizabeth as a �king in petticoats.� " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Oct 20, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
1.5/4	" The movie contains the usual palace intrigue and overblown dialogue. The only line missing is the one referring to Elizabeth as a �king in petticoats.� " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Oct 20, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
1/4	" Most of the townspeople are archetypes. In fact, you get the feeling the town is populated by character actors and not real people. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Oct 20, 2007	The Final Season (2007)	25%
4/4	" Gone Baby Gone will haunt you because it does not offer any pat answers or resolutions. It is like real life, complex and messy. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Oct 20, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
1.5/4	" The biggest problem with the movie is timidity. The Farrellys ... refuse to take the needed step of making star Ben Stiller totally unsympathetic. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Oct 6, 2007	The Heartbreak Kid (2007)	30%

3/4	" The ending is totally unsatisfactory. Without giving away any spoilers, ... the resolution is unnecessary and much more cynical than the original." -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Sep 6, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
1/4	" Mr. Bean�s Holiday is a movie that offers intermittent laughs and some funny sequences, yet does not come together as a whole. It lacks focus and pacing. " -- Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Posted Sep 1, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
