3.5/5	" Leave it to the French to beat us at our own bizarrely self-reflexive comic shenanigans. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is a model of smart, often very silly, but never, ever stupid comic perfection." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 3, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
3/5	" A suitable slow burn punctuated by sudden acts of violence; it fairly oozes off the screen like bloodied molasses, and then, heated, bubbles up and over, all smoke and fire and endless clouds of New Mexico dust." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 3, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
2/5	" It's like looking through a dreamy, indiemope kaleidoscope at a party you're not invited to, and, frankly, not even sure you'd want to attend." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
3.5/5	" Humboldt County's doleful charm -- verdant, lovely, ominous, final -- leaves little room for idealistic dreams or even the promise of romantic redemption." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Sep 26, 2008	Humboldt County (2008)	64%
3/5	" Coogan is an utterly fearless performer, which makes his character just a little bit frightening, occasionally unsympathetic, and just unreal enough to feel way too real." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	63%
0/5	" One of the most boring drags of all time." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 20, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
2/5	" Wilson is buoyed by a sporadically witty script, and while there are no surprises whatsoever in the story, his goofy, puppylike charm renders what could have been a disaster merely an unfortunate event." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 19, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
2.5/4	" Argento... owns this film, body and soullessness." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	76%
1/5	" *Anyone over the age of 8 is likely to be bored into madness by the lightweight puns that pass for real humor – WALL-E* this ain't – and the film's overall "eh" quotient.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Aug 15, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
4/5	" Spellbinding, and a model of the documentary form." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 8, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
1/5	" It's a fiasco, really, but who knows -- it might be a blast on mushrooms." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 8, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	11%
.5/5	" It's abundantly clear that this is one franchise that is dead in all but name." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
2/5	" It's all over the place, and it will make you laugh when you least expect it, but maybe not so much when you do." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 23, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
3/5	" Herzog, contemporary cinema's most consistently lyrical examiner of the (in)human condition, returns to the documentary form in yet another wonderfully improbable locale: Antarctica, the literal bottom of the world." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 18, 2008	Encounters At the End of the World (2007)	94%
2.5/5	" It's jam-packed with flawlessly designed set-pieces and skullduggery, sure, but it's also shrouded in grim portent, overlaid with a filigree of despair, and, for good measure, covered in a patina of dire consequence." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3.5/5	" It's not perfect -- thank Satan! -- but Hellboy II: The Golden Army is by far the most splendidly imaginative and creatively uncorked piece of fantastic cinema since the director's Pan's Labyrinth netted an Oscar trifecta in 2007." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
1.5/5	" *Why on earth anyone would want to waste a summer matinee afternoon with Hancock* when they could get wasted with Shakes the Clown in the DVD privacy of their own lair?*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Jul 3, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
4/5	" By turns sad, hilarious, exciting and, ultimately, hopeful, this is a film of Great Truths masquerading as child's play." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3/4	" It's intellectually cagey, potentially romantic, and, above all, an entertaining puzzle box of duplicitous people doing mysterious things, men and women." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 20, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
2.5/4	" Asano's Khan is a hero in the classic mold, and the portrayal is riveting. Not entirely so the film, however, which concludes with a lengthy endnote as though it were Steppe Wars IV: A New Hope and Equal Plunder for All Men." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 20, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
1.5/5	" This is broad satire spun completely out of control, overloaded with obvious gags and cannonades of yuks where quivers of sleeking wit ought to be." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 13, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	30%
3.5/5	" Five years after Ang Lee attempted a stylistically and narratively daring reimagining of what a comic-book movie could be, the big green gamma-guy returns to the screen in a purer, more unadulterated, vastly more entertaining form." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
2/5	" My tolerance for the mockumentary form of comedy has curdled somewhat in the wake of the past decade's serious subgenre overkill." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	57%
3/5	" Remarkably, Gordon has fashioned a moody, minor masterpiece that eloquently speaks to both the bloody body politic and the creeping, creepy American mindset that whispers, 'If we ignore it, maybe it will go away'." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 6, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
3/5	" *Happily, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, Sandler's first collaboration with co-writer and current Hollywood comedy godhead Judd Apatow, is a crazed, delightfully bizarre return to form for Sandler." -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
3.5/5	" ...Crystal Skull is a fine, rollicking, lightning-paced return to form for all involved..." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
1.5/5	" *... has plenty of flesh-and-blood performers milling about, strenuously attempting to advance Speed Racer's minimal plot, but nary an honest emotion in sight. Speed Racer: Color him go, go, gone." -- Austin Chronicle* Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
3.5/5	" *Bloodied but unbowed, wounded but walking, Downey Jr.'s sly take on Marvel Comics' cold warrior Iron Man* elevates everything about this film.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Apr 30, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
3/5	" *Pairing these two martial arts legends in a story that is essentially one long homage to the great Shaw Brothers films of yore allows The Forbidden Kingdom* plenty of leeway for comic moments.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
3/5	" Segel, scripting himself, injects regular bursts of comic genius into the proceedings." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
3/5	" Just like real life but not a damn thing like G.I. Joe." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 28, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
3.5/5	" Makes for a good anti-war doc, to be sure, but an even finer -- and painfully accurate -- portrait of the former soldier as a young man." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 20, 2008	Body of War (2008)	71%
1.5/4	" A dispiritingly mediocre tweener comedy from some very talented people who appear to be experiencing a delayed sophomore slump." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 19, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
4/5	" It's an (arguably) nonexploitive, nightmarish vision of random violence that goes exactly where you don't want it to go and then goes even further." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 14, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
1.5/5	" There are, after all, only so many interesting ways to kill a character, and in the end, it's just plain boring." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 12, 2008	Fist of the North Star - Animated Feature (1986)	20%
2.5/5	" Less a shocking discovery than the starting-off point for a swell stage play or, as here, a novel from the prefeminist trenches." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 7, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
3/5	" The Other Boleyn Girl works both as an engagingly sordid meditation on protofeminism and contemporized sisterhood set in a time and a place where either/or were grounds for, at the very least, defenestration." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
3.5/5	" An outright horror film that nonetheless veers on occasion into surreal black comedy, The Signal takes Marshall McLuhan's famous statement 'the medium is the message' to extremes not explored since David Cronenberg's Videodrome in 1983." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 22, 2008	The Signal (2007)	54%
1/5	" If you can work your way past Vantage Point's goofy casting that places a bland, blank-eyed Hurt in the White House, then I suppose you can manage to forgive this Rashomon rip-off's other glaring idiosyncrasies, of which there are many." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 22, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	" Jumper is pretty slick, entertaining stuff, well-crafted by Liman, edited into a tight, action-packed bundle of nerviness." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
3/5	" Wagner's film is an elegy of sorts for that once-mighty beast known as the New York Writer, a creature that now finds itself increasingly marginalized in a world in which readers are getting scarcer and shelf space for serious fiction is dwindling daily." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 8, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	85%
2.5/4	" Teeth's whirling moral compass actually provides the perfect metaphor for the teenage sexual urge in postpubescent overdrive." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	Teeth (2008)	82%
2.5/4	" Stewart, a Toronto-based marine biologist and underwater photographer, makes up for in passion what he lacks in narrative subtlety." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	Sharkwater (2007)	81%
2/4	" Bad Santa! No cookie!" -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	17%
1/4	" *Do yourself a favor and go rent any Miike film other than this* one. You've got somewhere in the vicinity of 75 from which to choose.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Feb 1, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
1/4	" Ice Cube is now Public Enemy Number Fun, although First Sunday is only fun if you're in dire need of a modernist urban take on the strain of comedy Abbott and Costello used to practice, which, let's be honest, wasn't that funny to begin with." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	14%
1/5	" This tepid, borderline offensive cyber-serial killer thriller takes what feels like ages to rehash both better and worse examples of the current, vapid clamor for so-called 'torture porn.'" -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 23, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	16%
4/5	" Cloverfield is the most intense and original creature feature I've seen in my adult moviegoing life, and that's coming from a guy who knows his Gojira from his Gamera and his Harryhausen from his Honda." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
2.5/5	" It all ends with what should be the bang of your heart pounding clean out of your chest but feels more like the fidgety whimper of restless kids with nowhere else to go." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 9, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
3.5/5	" One of the most compelling documentary portraits of a musician yet made." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 4, 2008	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	88%
