Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
In Bruges (2008)80%
/
C+
 
"There is a whole lot of screaming, giggling and squealing in this film, and that's just the men. Seriously, this is a chick flick."

Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%

B
 
"Combines arresting visuals, rounded characters and plenty of action."

Posted Jun 21, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%
/
C+
 
"The film does manage to build some tension, since the survival of the group remains in question right up to the end."

Posted Jun 11, 2008
 
Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%
/
C+
 
"Amid the silliness, the boorishness and the vulgarity is a certain warmness and sweetness."
