	"[T]he real charms of [t]his second outing... flow much as they did in the first one: by not lingering on the spectacle but on the sweetness of... the child characters and the enchanting talking animals..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
	"[H]its every single damn note in precisely the wrong way... strains for screwball and misses entirely..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 10, 2008	A Previous Engagement (2008)	35%
	"*Imagine if the pod race in Star Wars Episode I* was as bad as everyone said it was, and took itself twice as seriously, and went on for more than two hours.*" -- Flick Filosopher* Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
	"[A] fierce, uncompromising critique of... nonchalant imperialism, and maybe even of just men on the whole... Which makes this one of the most sneakily feminist movies I've seen in a while." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 9, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	38%
	"[I]t was probably inevitable that such an audacious attempt would fail to succeed entirely. Which isn't to say that this bold and fearless film isn't worth a look." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 7, 2008	Constantine's Sword (2008)	75%
	"This horrendous early 70s throwback... is being marketed as some sort of hip retro cool thing, when it's really just an artifact from the era that was best left dead and buried." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: The Complete Animated Series (1971-1974)	n/a
	"[T]here is no shying from what Austen was always really talking about: sex as a weapon and (female) virginity as a commodity, and so that grim practicality hangs over everything..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	Sense And Sensibility (2007)	n/a
	"[R]eally quite unbelievably dull... mysteriously unfeminist... too..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	Bionic Woman - Volume 1 (2007)	n/a
	"As undemanding family fare goes, the best you can hope for is that you don't want to shoot yourself when it's over, and by that measure, this gentle if unprepossessing flick succeeds." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	The First of May (1999)	n/a
	"[S]o many movies that are designed to appeal to the 'faith and values' crowd... end up being smugly exclusionary... But this bridges that divide..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	Pearl Diver (2006)	n/a
	"[A]s smart and heartfelt as it is observant about the universalities of the lives of women..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 5, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
	"The longer you trust... Mamet... the more you'll be crushed when the film, which is always teetering on the edge of preposterousness, finally tumbles over that edge." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 2, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	72%
	"Bleibtreu and Herzsprung embody their characters with such vicious monstrousity that it's hard to forget that they're merely actors." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 2, 2008	Four Minutes (2007)	76%
	"What had been a charming if undaring story about two friends who might be able to fall in love stops trusting itself -- and stops trusting the audience to stick with it without being dragged along by the nostrils." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"[M]ight well be the perfect comic book movie... It's just pertinent enough to feel like it's set in something like the real world and just tongue-in-cheek enough not to get too heavy about it, but it's got enough self-respect to be sincere." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 30, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	"*Even on its own sorry terms, Baby Mama* is ludicrous, falling back on toilet humor because it has nothing else to offer.*" -- Flick Filosopher* Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
	"It's really hard to like a character when his own movie makes fun of him..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 21, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
	"Hilarious... And cheeky and cheery and so popcorn-a-licious a fantasy historical action comedy that you want to stand up and cheer." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
	"[I]n a saner universe... you could scoff at Stein and dismiss him and not give this propagandistic nonsense another thought. But... [y]ou need to see this movie because these people are not going away..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 16, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	9%
	"I haven't seen these movies since they first aired, and it was a delight to catch up with the Franciscos -- the alien Tenctonese immigrants to Los Angeles -- and human Detective Matt Sikes..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 14, 2008	Alien Nation Ultimate Movie Collection (1995-1997)	n/a
	"[R]elentlessly grim, relentlessly brutal, relentlessly cynical... [W]orks if you buy Reeves... as an unvarnishing mirror of exhausted but still thrashing 40ish Generation Xers..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Apr 13, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
	"A] film that sharper and savvier about love and romance and sex, in all its many diverse expressions, than most..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 31, 2008	Tick Tock Lullaby (2008)	n/a
	"[A]lmost entirely preposterous -- never mind that it's apparently based on a true story -- and yet somehow wonderfully entertaining at the same time..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 28, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
	"*[I]t's pro-the-troops -- as if anyone could honestly be against the health and well-being of our troops -- but anti-the-bullsht that they're being put through...*" -- Flick Filosopher* Posted Mar 28, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"Here's yet another incarnation of the classic mystery-comedy cartoon series, and an entirely superfluous one." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 27, 2008	A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - The Complete First Season ()	n/a
	"[T]ruly as impossible to watch now as [it was] back when we were all undiscriminating children..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 27, 2008	The Smurfs - Season 1, Volume 1 (1981)	n/a
	"It's sort of shocking to see how aggressively this manic Comedy Central animated series ridicules the Bush adminstration and its foibles... if you can stomach calling warmongering, the embracing of torture, and the denial of evolution 'foibles.'" -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 27, 2008	Lil' Bush: Resident of the United States - Season One (2007)	n/a
	"[Star/writer Pegg] ladles a deeper understanding of why men screw up into Dennis than we usually see in romantic comedies..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 26, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
	"The performances from this extraordinary cast are as sumptuous as you'd expect, but they disappear into a wisp of insignificance." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 25, 2008	Married Life (2008)	55%
	"[T]erribly earnest and, as a result, terribly dull..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 25, 2008	Flawless (2007)	62%
	"This isn't a movie: it's a buffet at which... Perry piles your plate with spoonfuls of absurd melodrama, a taste of gritty urban drama, a heaping of cheap cartoon, and a big side of corn." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 24, 2008	Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)	30%
	"It's beautiful and gentle and warm and a little silly, but in the best possible way..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 18, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
	"There's not enough story here... and the moodiness is of a type that doesn't speak to me..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 18, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%

	"By the power of Numbskull!" -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 17, 2008	He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Volume 1 (2002)	n/a
	"[I]ntellectual slapstick, a ticklish combination of comic torment, a brutal grasping of life's fickleness, and sheer bloody violence that is like a shout in the dark against it..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 17, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
	"Modern movies seem to feel that women should pay for their independence by suffering and fretting over it, but there's not a whiff of that depressing and unfair attitude here, which is... delightfully refreshing." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 14, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
	"[V]isually impressive but naratively underpowered..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 14, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	16%
	"[W]hat has Hollywood done with this gentle plea for tolerance? It has been turned into something that looks astonishingly like far-right propaganda about how Christians are a persecuted minority -- as if this were 100AD in the Roman Empire..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 14, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	"[D]oes what it does so damn well, and... what is does is so sadly so vitally necessary, even if you wish it weren't..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 11, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%

	"Maybe it's not the 100-percent truth -- maybe it's half, or more, invented. But it's a damn good guess, and a ridiculously entertaining one." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Mar 6, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	77%
