2.5/4	"Despite a few hilarious supporting players (especially Kathryn Hahn as the miserable wife of Brennan's overachieving brother), [the movie] runs out of steam well before the closing credits." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	54%
3/4	"*The movie delivers the same bracing blend of intelligence and adrenaline that made The X-Files* such an enjoyable TV series.*" -- Salt Lake Tribune* Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	31%
2/4	"Despite interesting performances by Kingsley, Thirlby and Mary-Kate Olsen as a flower child, Peck's blandly apathetic air becomes contagious." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 24, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
3.5/4	"Li's spare script works well with his choice to employ non-actors." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 24, 2008	Blind Mountain (2008)	76%
3.5/4	"Antarctica, it turns out, is the perfect setting for Herzog to find the themes that have fascinated him: The mercilessness of nature, and the foolhardiness of humans who would challenge nature." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 24, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	95%
3/4	"Chang's fluid camera captures the river's vanishing beauty, as well as the dichotomy between Yu Shui's rural poverty and Chen Bo Yu's urban lifestyle." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%
3/4	"Davenport focuses deep on the Hollywood do-gooder mentality and her own complicity in treating Mohmed as a symbol of the war and not as a flawed person." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	Operation Filmmaker (2008)	92%
2/4	"Ultimately, I felt more sorry for Moore - giving her all to a skeezy, tabloid psychodrama - than for her self-absorbed character." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
1.5/4	"Chimps could have made a better movie." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
3/4	"Without Streep front and center, this Mamma Mia! wouldn't be worth taking a chance on." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
4/4	"The movie is relentlessly paced, as Nolan constantly pushes the film with nail-biting action sequences and resonant dialogue exchanges." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2/4	"Two things are missing in this debut directing effort from writer Steve Conrad - a sufficient number of jokes and anybody worth rooting for." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
3/4	"Though ... well-acted by Firth, Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson, the slow pacing makes it feel as if everyone is walking through a waist-deep bog of emotional reserve." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
3.5/4	"The rising waters of the Yangtze become a melancholy backdrop for a diaspora in which people try to establish some connection in a place where their old lives literally are being washed away." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	Still Life (2008)	91%
0/4	"Dumb jokes, cheap special effects and Murphy's mugging add up to an eternity in 92 minutes." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
3/4	"If you can't afford a vacation to your favorite theme park, this 3-D-extravaganza is the next best thing." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
4/4	"By far the most imaginative action movie in ages - a mix of epic fantasy, tender romance, broad comedy and double-barreled excitement that satisfies all your pleasure centers." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
3/4	"[The filmmakers] balance the pre-teen frivolity of Kit's adventures with a gentle (and now timely) history lesson about soup kitchens, selling eggs and other symbols of the Great Depression." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 1, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
2.5/4	"There's a game-changing plot twist that is at first fascinating, but ultimately infuriating because the movie never capitalizes on it." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3/4	"The melodrama is as thick as the blood in the spectacular battle sequences, but Asano's soulful performance brings this little-understood historical icon passionately to life." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
2/4	"Director Roger Spottiswoode captures some gorgeous Chinese scenery, much of which is chewed by Rhys Meyers' histrionic performance." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
2.5/4	"Bell makes some good points about the dark side of the American dream, but much of his argument about steroids is muddled." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
1/4	"Apparently the writers thought Fred was so inherently funny they barely bothered to write jokes for him - and then thought those jokes were so funny they didn't need well-timed delivery." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
1/4	"This is straight-up nightmare fuel, unredeemed by compelling characters or interesting motives." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
2.5/4	"Was this bonbon to the show's fans, four years after the "happily ever after" series finale, really necessary?" -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
1/4	"The script has a couple of actually funny gags, but hack director Dennis Dugan messes up the delivery in service to Sandler's titanic ego." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
3.5/4	"[The filmmakers] mix Black's good humor with breathtaking animated martial-arts sequences." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
2.5/4	"*The effects and bloodshed gradually lose their power to provoke, and become thuddingly tedious - and with nothing else going for it beyond mere eye candy, Wanted* leaves you wanting.*" -- Salt Lake Tribune* Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
4/4	"Wall-E never feels preachy or pushy, instead letting the witty storytelling and expressive animation transport audiences to another world." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3/4	"Director David Hoffman marshals his information into an absorbing story, adroitly narrated by Liev Schreiber, that captures the fears and the hopes of the dawn of the Space Age." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 20, 2008	Sputnik Mania (2008)	90%
2.5/4	"[Trier] sometimes lapses into the literary clich�s he aims to ridicule." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 20, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%
3.5/4	"With its precise editing and thoughtful storytelling, 'Note by Note' is a celebration of craftsmanship - of a piano and of film." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 20, 2008	Note by Note: The Making of the Steinway L1037 (2007)	90%
1/4	"Nobody, apparently, told Myers he was doing a one-note character with a funny voice that wouldn't make a good 'Saturday Night Live' sketch, let alone an 88-minute movie." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
3/4	"Carell draws laughs because he stays true to the character. He is self-deprecating as he throws himself into every gag." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
2.5/4	"It's one thing to emote through singing, but competing with the memory of a beloved classic is more than his gorgeous and talented cast can overcome." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 23, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	67%
4/4	"The young performers, especially Milner and Poulter, are engaging without being cloying." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 23, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
2.5/4	"This time, as Spielberg dips into other parts of his canon, the supernatural answer falls maddeningly short of the divine." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 22, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
3/4	"Helen Hunt, as she allows herself to age authentically, may have a good second career as a director, based on the surefooted handling of this comedy-drama." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
2/4	"The happy Hardy Boys action takes an uncomfortable back seat to low-rent melodrama." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	A Plumm Summer (2008)	25%
3/4	"The images are indelible, if somewhat inscrutable (knowing Russian history would probably help, I suppose), but the message behind them rings out like a warning alarm." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	94%
2/4	"*There's plenty about the Bush administration's War on Terror worthy of satire, but Harold & Kumar* picks over a carcass that others have chewed over with much sharper teeth.*" -- Salt Lake Tribune* Posted May 16, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
3/4	"The best moments come when Fey and Poehler just cut loose and riff hilariously on everything from birthing classes to karaoke video games." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
2/4	"*At 134 minutes, Speed Racer* throws so much color on the screen for so long, younger viewers (and even some not-so-young ones) will get worn out and want this ride to stop.*" -- Salt Lake Tribune* Posted May 16, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
1/4	"Like many Vegas weddings, this mean-spirited "romantic comedy" only makes sense if you're drunk." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
3/4	"If you and your children enjoyed your first visit to Narnia, you'll be satisfied by the second trip." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
1.5/4	"This strained romantic comedy is a 'chick flick' for dudes, written by Neanderthals." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
3/4	"*In the second half, when the red-and-gold suit does the heavy lifting (sometimes literally), Iron Man* stops being a great blockbuster and settles for being merely a good one.*" -- Salt Lake Tribune* Posted May 2, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
1.5/4	"Either the filmmakers suckered these [pro-Darwinist] participants under false pretenses, or the evolutionists are more open to debate than Stein suggests." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Apr 18, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	8%
3/4	"Spurlock applies his brand of humorous social activism to the War on Terror, and the results are funny and humanist." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
0/4	"Movies this stupid usually have names like Pauly Shore or Larry the Cable Guy attached, not Al Pacino." -- Salt Lake Tribune Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
