	" You may need to see I�ve Loved You So Long twice in order to see it once." -- New Yorker Posted Nov 3, 2008	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	91%
	" Kevin Smith turns out to be reverent after all: he wants to separate true love from mere copulating for money, but his story mixes romance and porn so inextricably that he seems confused, and the movie trips over its own conceits." -- New Yorker Posted Nov 3, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
	" War on the ground has rarely been done much better than this." -- New Yorker Posted Oct 28, 2008	Men in War (1957)	80%
	" Changeling is beautifully wrought, but it has the abiding fault of righteously indignant filmmaking." -- New Yorker Posted Oct 20, 2008	Changeling (2008)	57%
	" W. feels poorly timed: too late to have any effect on the public, most of whom long ago checked out on the President, and too early to provide more than a schematic interpretation of who he is." -- New Yorker Posted Oct 20, 2008	W. (2008)	58%
	" Happy-Go-Lucky is triumphant proof that a creative middle way is always possible." -- New Yorker Posted Oct 6, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
	" Smart and tightly drawn; it has a throat-gripping urgency and some serious insights, and Scott has a greater command of space and a more explicit way with violence than most thriller directors." -- New Yorker Posted Oct 6, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	50%
	" The movie is hectic, exhausting, and baffling." -- New Yorker Posted Sep 22, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	22%
	" *In all, Appaloosa* is good as far as it goes -- everything in it feels true -- but I wish that Harris had pushed his ideas further.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Sep 22, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
	" Trouble the Water, along with Spike Lee�s extraordinary four-hour epic, When the Levees Broke, remains one of the most eloquent records we have of a tragedy that brought out some of the most impressively alive men and women in New O" -- New Yorker Posted Sep 8, 2008	Trouble the Water (2008)	98%
	" *Even black comedy requires that the filmmakers love someone, and the mock cruelties in Burn After Reading* come off as a case of terminal misanthropy.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Sep 8, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
	" *Jiř� Menzel�s I Served the King of England* is a Czech national epic served up with champagne and truffles.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Aug 25, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	80%
	" The filmmakers, I think, got in over their heads and couldn�t decide whether they were making an action thriller or a drama of conscience; they wound up flubbing both." -- New Yorker Posted Aug 25, 2008	Traitor (2008)	56%
	" *Of all the good actors who have adorned the middle-aged-professor films, Ben Kingsley, in Elegy, is the most formidable and convincing." -- New Yorker* Posted Aug 4, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
	" *Woody Allen�s Vicky Cristina Barcelona* has a natural, flowing vitality to it, a sun-drenched splendor that never falters.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Aug 4, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	81%
	" WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible." -- New Yorker Posted Jul 14, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
	" This movie is grim and jammed together. The narrative isn't shaped coherently to bring out contrasts and build toward a satisfying climax. The Dark Knight is constant climax; it's always in a frenzy, and it goes on forever." -- New Yorker Posted Jul 14, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
	" We know the material is artificially -- even deviously -- constructed, and we enjoy being manipulated by people who know what they�re doing. But it�s Cluzet�s intense performance that makes this genre piece a heart-wrenching experience." -- New Yorker Posted Jun 30, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	93%
	" Hancock suggests new visual directions and emotional tonalities for pop. It�s by far the most enjoyable big movie of the summer." -- New Yorker Posted Jun 30, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	" *This moviegoer has no trouble with lowbrow comedy. The problem with Zohan, however, is that it�s like a kid who tells you a silly joke, gets a laugh, and immediately tells the same joke again." -- New Yorker* Posted Jun 16, 2008	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	35%
	" Digital spectacle is both too much and too little, and it�s beginning to put some of us in a funk of disappointment and boredom. When you�ve seen one half-ton piece of metal flung through the air, you�ve seen them all." -- New Yorker Posted Jun 16, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	" Crystal Skull isn�t bad -- there are a few dazzling sequences, and a couple of good performances -- but the unprecedented blend of comedy and action that made the movies so much more fun than any other adventure series is mostly gone." -- New Yorker Posted May 27, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	" Harold & Kumar Escape from Guant�namo Bay, a loosely strung-together collection of sex, race, and stoner jokes, is, by any rational standard, a terrible movie, yet I kept laughing at it, and I came out of the theatre in a good mood." -- New Yorker Posted May 12, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
	" A splendidly eccentric independent film written and directed by Henry Bean." -- New Yorker Posted May 12, 2008	Noise (2008)	50%
	" With the screenwriters Alice Arlen and Victor Levin, Hunt adapted the story from a 1990 novel by Elinor Lipman, and has turned the material into a fine, tense, unpredictable comedy of mixed-up emotions and sudden illuminations." -- New Yorker Posted Apr 28, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	51%
	" There�s a slightly depressed, going-through-the-motions feel to the entire show." -- New Yorker Posted Apr 28, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	" In his first film as director, Noam Murro creates moments of comic disconnection, relieved by minuscule surges of warmth. He�s very precise; he has a nice touch." -- New Yorker Posted Apr 14, 2008	Smart People (2008)	48%
	" It�s not hard, it turns out, to forget Sarah Marshall. The problem is remembering her." -- New Yorker Posted Apr 14, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
	" Stop-Loss is not a great movie, but it�s forceful, effective, and alive, with the raw, mixed-up emotions produced by an endless war -- a time when the patriotism of military families is in danger of being exploited beyond endurance." -- New Yorker Posted Mar 31, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	" *Along with No End in Sight,* this movie is one of the essential documentaries of the ongoing war.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Mar 17, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
	" [Director Assayas] may have something serious to say about the brutal impersonality of global capitalism, yet he�s caught somewhere between insight and exploitation." -- New Yorker Posted Mar 17, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	24%
	" *In Jacques Rivette�s remarkable The Duchess of Langeais, romantic devotion becomes a perverse kind of warfare, in which a lover who admits that he�s in love loses the campaign." -- New Yorker* Posted Mar 3, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
	" Roger Donaldson, the Australian-born director who, in recent years, has become the kind of solid pro that Hollywood developed in the nineteen-thirties and forties, has made a straightforward, tight-knit crime thriller." -- New Yorker Posted Mar 3, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
	" Definitely, Maybe, which was written and directed by Adam Brooks, has charm and spirit." -- New Yorker Posted Feb 25, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
	" The Counterfeiters is a testament to guile. [Director] Ruzowitzky scored the picture with tangos, and the tangos are meant to be Sally�s music -- seductive, insolent, triumphant." -- New Yorker Posted Feb 25, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
	" *Is it art? Not remotely. But, up to the final scenes, it�s a tremendous piece of engineering. And the hurtling force of Vantage Point* is fun to watch.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Feb 25, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	36%
	" How She Move was shot on the cheap in 16-mm. film, and some of it is a little drab-looking, but it has energy and bravado." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 28, 2008	How She Move (2008)	67%
	" [Farrell] has done his best work with this performance, and he may have a triumphant career before him as a character actor in difficult roles." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 14, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	49%
	" In truth, I�ve never seen so much lovemaking in an aboveground film, but the revelation, and great triumph, of Lou�s work is that these scenes are never pornographic -- that is, never separated from emotion." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 14, 2008	Summer Palace (2008)	67%
	" Despite all this desolation and depression, Still Life is an extremely beautiful movie: the river and the green mountains on both sides of it extend into the distance in majestic panoply; gray clouds hang over the scene like painted backdrops." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 14, 2008	Still Life (2008)	92%
	" Moviemaking seems to have become almost magically easy for this independent writer-director." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 4, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	68%
	" *Langella is superb, and Starting Out in the Evening* is a classy film... but it could have used a little less circumspection, a little more juice.*" -- New Yorker* Posted Jan 4, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	85%
	" In general, the light is golden, the mood technologically sublime, the actuality of the experience a dead zero." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Bucket List (2007)	41%
	" Walk Hard runs down quickly, and suffers further from having the wide-eyed and weightless Reilly as its star." -- New Yorker Posted Jan 4, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	" The movie�s heart is certainly in the right place -- it�s a quietly outraged work -- but I wish there were more excitement in it from moment to moment." -- New Yorker Posted Dec 11, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
	" Juno is a coming-of-age movie made with idiosyncratic charm and not a single false note." -- New Yorker Posted Dec 10, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
	" As astounding in its emotional force and as haunting and mysterious as anything seen in American movies in recent years." -- New Yorker Posted Dec 10, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
	" A gloriously unlocked experience, with some of the freest and most creative uses of the camera and some of the most daring, cruel, and heartbreaking emotional explorations that have appeared in recent movies." -- New Yorker Posted Nov 27, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
	" Vital, honest, and engaging." -- New Yorker Posted Nov 26, 2007	The Savages (2007)	89%
	" Margot is sensually as well as dramatically impoverished." -- New Yorker Posted Nov 12, 2007	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
