C	"Even those who retain great affection for Mulder and Scully are likely to find this reunion disappointingly routine and overly glum and grim." Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
D-	"One more step in the infantilization of American comedy....Its vulgarity is exceeded only by its stupidity, and it glorifies both." Posted Jul 23, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
B+	"Builds a remarkable degree of suspense...and along the way it manages a good deal of humor and charm as well." Posted Jul 23, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
C+	"A very handsome period picture....But it's an almost perversely wrongheaded adaptation of the book." Posted Jul 23, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	70%
D-	"Yuck!...the very model of the modern musical comedy--there's absolutely nothing original in it...[and] it looks awful." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
N/A	"Interview with Jonathan Levine and Josh Peck" Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
B+	"A superior sequel, remarkable for its blend of serious themes and crowd-pleasing action, with a performance by Heath Ledger that's a memorable coda to a career cut far too short." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
C	"Saturday morning-grade fare that young children may enjoy but anybody older than eight will find bland and utterly forgettable." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
D-	"This gimmicky, one-note comedy takes a well-deserved place in the pantheon of Murphy mega-bombs." Posted Jul 10, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
C+	"Only intermittently captures the sense of goofy, off-the-wall fun that marked the first film." Posted Jul 9, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
B	"This cheeky combination of updating and spoof makes for an agreeable amusement-park ride of a movie...all the more striking by being presented in very effective 3-D." Posted Jul 8, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
C+	"A very mixed bag -- visually interesting throughout, but only sporadically funny, and too often seeming like little more than technical exercises." Posted Jul 7, 2008	The Animation Show 4 (2008)	80%
N/A	"Alex Gibney On "Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson"" Posted Jul 5, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%
N/A	"Interview with Sarah Gavron and Tannishtha Chatterjee" Posted Jul 3, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
B	"In its fairly straightforward but energetic way it captures a good deal of what made Thompson a unique figure...revealing, honest and--most of all--genuinely engaging." Posted Jul 2, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%
D	"A super-dud." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
D+	"The decor and costumes are authentic, but there's barely a moment in the picture that feels genuine in human terms." Posted Jun 30, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
B-	"Would be more at home on ESPN than the big screen. But B-Ball fans should enjoy it in either venue." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
B-	"Pleasant enough--and certainly pretty enough--to serve: a lesser Pixar effort, but one that most viewers, young and old, will enjoy if not be transported by." Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
C	"For many...the picture will fail to strike the desired tragicomic nerve." Posted Jun 24, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
B-	"Little more than an old story dressed up in contemporary trappings, but in this case they elevate the formula." Posted Jun 23, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
B+	Click here to read article Posted Jun 23, 2008	Crime Spree (2003)	50%
B+	"Possesses a 'wow' factor that will make it one of the summer's biggest hits...an unabashed testosterone-adrenaline cocktail spiced up with a dollop of torture-porn bloodlust." Posted Jun 22, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
N/A	"Interview with Abigail Breslin" Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
B+	"A thought-provoking documentary that's both informative and strangely poignant--as well as beautifully shot and edited." Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Unforeseen (2007)	86%
D	"The visual mastery that not only excused but actually elevated the illogic of the first two installments of the trilogy is absent here." Posted Jun 19, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
D	"It took Mike Myers five years to come up with this?" Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
C	"Uses the old show merely as a springboard for a fairly conventional comedy-action movie that's louder, more frenetic and, ultimately, dumber." Posted Jun 18, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
B-	"At a time when kidflicks have turned raucous and crude, its inoffensive sweetness makes it a positively endearing throwback." Posted Jun 17, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
C	"Amounts to a glorified Hallmark Hall of Fame special, except with British accents." Posted Jun 14, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
C+	"A comeback for the director, but not quite enough of one...an almost equal combination of genuine creepiness and absolute foolishness." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
C	"*This Hulk* isn't incredible; it's just mediocre...a very conventional comic-book movie, a considerable step down from Lee's more imaginative treatment.*" Posted Jun 13, 2008*	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
C	"So laid-back that it barely registers, despite starring two guys who haven't exactly been shrinking violets in previous outings." Posted Jun 11, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
B	"*There's less than meets the eye to Joachim Trier's Reprise, but the loose, limber visual style gives the picture a certain panache." Posted Jun 9, 2008*	Reprise (2008)	88%
N/A	"Interview with Roger Spottiswoode" Posted Jun 9, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
C	"A remote and chilly exercise, more museum piece than movie." Posted Jun 7, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
N/A	"Interview with Chris Bell, Alexander Buono and Tamsin Rawady" Posted Jun 7, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
B+	"Subverts expectations by being not only complex but surprisingly engaging even as it raises serious questions." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
B	"The picture's bravura style makes for an intriguingly exotic adventure only occasionally hobbled by the finicky mode of storytelling." Posted Jun 5, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
C	"High-minded and good-looking, but plodding and emotionally rather shallow." Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
C	"Another misfit-makes-good movie with nifty visuals but a sodden script." Posted Jun 4, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
C-	"Another in the string of exercises in coarse infantilism that represent the studios' idea of farce nowadays." Posted Jun 3, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
B+	"Though Carroll's presentation is unquestionably oversimplified...his points are well-taken and worthy of serious regard." Posted Jun 2, 2008	Constantine's Sword (2008)	83%
D	"Tae kwan don't...as stupid and irritating as its protagonist." Posted Jun 1, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
B	"A nasty little thriller, but an effective--and sometimes gruesomely funny--one." Posted May 28, 2008	Stuck (2008)	71%
C-	"Devotees of the HBO series will probably flock to the movie...but anybody who's not already a fan is going to have difficulty understanding what all the fuss is about." Posted May 28, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
D-	"A fairy-tale that's fractured in ways that seem perversely calculated to alienate us even as it tries to draw us in...a cinematic pratfall." Posted May 28, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
D	"A grisly, morally disreputable cat-and-mouse exercise that has no point beyond viscerally implicating viewers in the same sadistic game played by the villains." Posted May 27, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
