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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)73%
/
3.5/4

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)80%
/
2.5/4

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

Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%
/
1/4

"Wall-E never feels preachy or pushy, instead letting the witty storytelling and expressive animation transport audiences to another world." -- Salt Lake Tribune

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

The Love Guru (2008)15%

A Plumm Summer (2008)25%
