C	" *Bernie Mac's death doesn't make Soul Men* any better, but it may make it worth seeing.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Nov 7, 2008	Soul Men (2008)	44%
C+	" Continues the trend of R-rated comedies mixing serious don't-bring-grandma vulgarity with totally unironic, all-stops-out sweetness and sentimentality." -- rec.arts.movies.reviews Posted Nov 6, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
C+	" The last half hour contains scenes that are almost obscene in their earnestness." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 31, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
B	" It's long and messy, covering all the bases and then some, but it's also fantastically entertaining. Its 140 minutes feel more like 90." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 25, 2008	Changeling (2008)	57%

C+	" *A thoroughly clich�d virginity-deadline teen comedy with none of American Pie's trangsressiveness (it's hard, these days) and little of Superbad's intelligence." -- Film Blather* Posted Oct 17, 2008	Sex Drive (2008)	40%
B-	" It's esoteric, and its audience is small, but if you're part of it, you know who you are." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 17, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	51%
B-	" Mostly, this is Hollywood excess the way I like to see it: skillfully done, and with a beating heart." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 17, 2008	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	58%
B	" What could have been a blindly reverent biopic, and/or a tediously respectable prestige picture, instead at least tries to deal with the issues it raises, and tries to do so with with some subtlety and grace." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 9, 2008	The Express (2008)	62%
A-	" Easily the smartest film to date about the post-9/11 'war on terror.'" -- Film Blather Posted Oct 9, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	50%
B-	" If we're going to have a comic recycle his schtick, there are few I'd prefer to Cera, whose hesitant, awkwardly verbal stock character is one of the most reliably funny tropes in mainstream comedy today." -- Film Blather Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
C	" Okay, look: everybody has got to stop crying." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	31%
C+	" *I wouldn't call The Duchess* boring; it held my attention. But if you came upon it while channel-surfing, you probably wouldn't stop.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Sep 26, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
B-	" Some of the moving parts squeak, especially toward the end. But it's still largely a pleasure." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 18, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	84%
C+	" A middling film, an overwrought and occasionally laughable corrupt cop drama that you've seen countless times." -- Cinematical Posted Sep 11, 2008	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%
C+	" *Though Me & Orson Welles* is nice and smart and unobjectionable, it's the least exciting, least vibrant movie Linklater has ever made.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Sep 8, 2008	Me and Orson Welles (2008)	n/a
B	" Though Kim's western pastiche may be insubstantial, it's anything but a drag. It's masterfully directed, legitimately funny, and legitimately fun, thoroughly enjoyable even at an excessive 129 minutes." -- Cinematical Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2009)	n/a
B	" The Brothers Bloom doesn't live up to Johnson's debut, true, but few films could. This is hardly a sophomore slump. A movie this engaging, this rigorous, this alive is nothing to complain about." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Brothers Bloom (2008)	78%
D	" All posturing and artifice -- not cool or funny, though sometimes scary in its nihilism and flippancy." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
B-	" Flash of Genius is a conventional crowdpleaser but not, I'm pleased to report, a shameless one." -- Cinematical Posted Sep 1, 2008	Flash of Genius (2008)	57%
C	" It never develops its clever ideas, it just repeats them until they're played out. By the end of the film there's nothing left." -- Film Blather Posted Aug 13, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
B-	" This is a mightily strange movie, at times very funny; I can certainly recommend it to those who are curious about it. Those who can't stand being around stoners may like it less." -- Film Blather Posted Aug 5, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
A	" It's a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
B-	" I wanted to like the movie more; there's plenty here for a cinephile to dig. But ultimately it's underwhelming -- and, with the exception of a couple uncanny images, forgettable." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
D	" Meant as a non-stop roller-coaster ride, it mistakes spectacle for energy, fancy effects for wonder, and a lazy meta-plot for a clever update of a classic." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 10, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
B	" Summer '08 has been full of decent, largely predictable rollercoaster rides, but here's one that's a little off-kilter, and kind of unique." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 29, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
A-	" The fact that Wall-E's not merely adorable, but central to a serious, thoughtful, adult story is still another illustration of Pixar's downright heroic commitment to the craft." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
C-	" The film has no discernible rhythm, little in the way of wit, and the plot plays like Myers considered it an unpleasant obligation." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
C+	" Why create a universe this utterly gonzo if all you're going to do is repeat the same 'believe-in-yourself' and 'everyone-is-special' pablum kids have heard a million times?" -- Film Blather Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	89%
D+	" *No matter what you think about Zohan's humor or its politics, in no universe should it have been longer than 85 minutes. 112 is punishment." -- Film Blather* Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	35%
C+	" I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed." -- Film Blather Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	50%
B+	" A wise, engaging, and astoundingly comprehensive look at the steroid 'controversy.'" -- Film Blather Posted May 29, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
B+	" Deft, clever and fast-paced; it hits all the nostalgic touchstones and introduces memorable, worthwhile new players." -- Film Blather Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
B	" A two-hour-and-fifteen-minute sugar rush of a film, dazzling and exciting, a little too frantic and a little too long." -- Film Blather Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
D	" *I am so tired of these miserable things* that pass for romantic comedies these days, thoughtless assembly-line products that recycle the same components in ever-dumber packaging over and over again.*" -- Film Blather* Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
F	" It's offensive because it's so incredibly, almost supernaturally, stupid." -- Film Blather Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
C+	" Every time the movie feels like it's about to cross over into the realm of the genuinely inspired, something or someone slams on the brakes." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
C+	" Minkoff and Fusco blur the line between homage and laziness." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
B+	" A movie for those of us who have wanted to see Wong Kar Wai's talents applied to storytelling rather than abstraction." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 3, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
C+	" *For something that was pitched as a screwball comedy, Leatherheads* is kind of lumbering, unwieldy, and awkward.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	52%
C	" I defy you to find another movie with this much contempt for its audience." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 25, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
D+	" Speaking as someone who approached Never Back Down with curiosity and hope rather than a sense of obligation, I implore you to stay away." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	23%
A-	" *Precise, clever, wonderfully strange, and so funny it hurts, it is simply the best studio comedy since The 40-Year Old Virgin." -- Film Blather* Posted Mar 11, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	51%
B	" Enormously entertaining storytelling but highly problematic documentary filmmaking." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 11, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
B	" No less eager than its predecessor to use pointed political incorrectness to poke fun at our prejudices." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 10, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
C	" In its desperation to deliver an action-packed suspense set piece of an ending, 21 asks the audience to suspend all disbelief, and basically begs to be laughed at." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 9, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
D-	" Roland Emmerich has a remarkable talent for draining all the life out of interesting stories." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 6, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
B	" It's not the cinema of the century, but it's delicious and it melts in your mouth." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 5, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
