"If you are an X-Files fan, this is a journey worth taking with enough comforting familiarity to make it satisfying. If you know nothing about the X-Files, the film stands on its own well enough."

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."

B
 
"It wisely doesn't try to duplicate the orginal series, but it retains much of its flavor."
Posted Jun 21, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)52%

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

"Not only a soaring adventure story, but it combines social commentary with cartoonish comic overtones, and even adds a bit of romance."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
B
 
"Delightfully entertaining to watch, it is filled with interesting characters and it is playfully irreverent."

Posted Apr 16, 2008
 
I'm Not There (2007)78%
/
B
 
"Mildly funny, not a whole lot better than the best Christopher Guest mockumentary I'd seen before this, 'Best in Show.'"
