Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
C	" The performers are amiable, but the material is only mildly amusing." Posted Oct 7, 2008	Allah Made Me Funny (2008)	52%
B	" While not one of the director's best works, it's a classy, sophisticated entertainment with a typically rich subtext." Posted Oct 7, 2008	A Girl Cut in Two (2008)	85%
B-	" A Maher riff that's amusing enough, but hardly profound--one that's unlikely to alter your views on religion, whatever choir you're in." Posted Oct 6, 2008	Religulous (2008)	66%
N/A	" Interview with Michael Cera and Kat Dennings" Posted Oct 4, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
B-	" Compared to the best doggie flicks, it may be the runt of the litter, but like most mutts it grows on you." Posted Oct 2, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	42%
C	" Earnest but artless...not only exhibits no signs of genius but barely registers on the competence gauge." Posted Oct 2, 2008	Flash of Genius (2008)	59%
D-	" Stylistically fussy and dramatically confused...a what-if story that's become a pointless so-what movie." Posted Oct 2, 2008	Blindness (2008)	39%
B-	" Takes the old western conventions and juggles them in very odd but mostly satisfying ways." Posted Oct 2, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
C	" Nick and Norah's playlist may be infinite, but the enjoyment they provide is definitely limited." Posted Oct 1, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
D+	" *This isn't Prada, but a cheap, crummy knock-off." Posted Oct 1, 2008*	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	34%
N/A	" Interview with Clark Gregg" Posted Sep 29, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
C	" [Has] sporadic moments of brilliance, but...winds up being more well-meaning muddle than miracle." Posted Sep 25, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	30%
C	" A very juvenile copy of its Hitchcock-Kubrick models, efficiently made in the overwrought mold of contemporary action-adventure movies but a painfully loud--and silly--knockoff of the originals." Posted Sep 25, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	28%
D	" Redolent of the schmaltziest weepies of a half-century or more ago...strong evidence for the proposition that Nicholas Sparks must have been Fannie Hurst in an earlier life." Posted Sep 25, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	27%
C	" So laid-back and plain that the film leaves almost no impression at all." Posted Sep 25, 2008	The Lucky Ones (2008)	33%
C	" Strains to be wickedly funny and provocative, but comes across feeling curiously pedestrian and tepid." Posted Sep 25, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
C-	" It's hard to take this wild mixture of sledgehammer symbolism, period Southern Gothic, race-conscious uplift and cautionary coming-of-age parable seriously, despite Fanning's remarkable poise." Posted Sep 24, 2008	Hounddog (2008)	16%
B	" A comedy that's genuinely funny without being gross, and genuinely warm without becoming maudlin, a winning combination of sour and sweet that's both tasty and satisfying" Posted Sep 18, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
C+	" Flawed but intriguing thriller...while the movie is basically a potboiler, the brew that it keeps simmering is more potent than most." Posted Sep 18, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	42%
C	" Just a handsomely appointed but lugubrious period soap opera centered on one of the distant ancestors of the so-called 'People's Princess.'" Posted Sep 18, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	60%
B	" If you're willing to take a chance on a daring film that's likely to make you laugh one moment and cringe the next, you may find it as haunting as it is uncomfortable to watch." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	47%
A-	" A brilliant, witty and profound tragicomedy that reflects on recent Czech history with a highly imaginative, darkly humorous and strongly sensual tone." Posted Sep 11, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	81%
D	" Lurid, stupid cop melodrama...crammed with sequences so overwrought and dialogue so monumentally pseudo-tough as to be absolutely laughable. The celebrated stars...produce nothing but crude self-parody." Posted Sep 11, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	23%
F	" A total wipeout." Posted Sep 10, 2008	Surfer, Dude (2008)	0%
B	" Isn't much more than an extravagantly complicated joke, [but] it's a pretty funny one, with plenty of those mordantly humorous jolts the [Coens] are so good at." Posted Sep 10, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
C-	" Compared to the deliciously catty 1939 film, this one seems not so much updated as, if not neutered, definitely declawed." Posted Sep 8, 2008	The Women (2008)	10%
D-	" All it proves is that on their home turf the Pangs can make an international hit-man tale every bit as trashy and dull as the ones made in Hollywood or Europe." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	10%
A-	" Intricate emotionally as well as in narrative terms, poignant but not mawkish, and told in an austerely compelling style, this is a wise and absorbing drama." Posted Sep 2, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
D-	Click here to read article Posted Sep 1, 2008	Babylon A.D. ()	0%
D-	" *The sort of crass, witless, Porky's-style exercise that makes even the worst product of the Judd Apatow factory look like a comic masterpiece." Posted Aug 30, 2008*	College (2008)	7%
D-	" *So bad it will make you nostalgic for The Pacifier." Posted Aug 30, 2008*	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
B	" Less radical than it appears, dressing up a fairly old-fashioned scenario in contemporary trappings. But simply as a political thriller, it delivers the goods pretty efficiently." Posted Aug 26, 2008	Traitor (2008)	53%
B	" A solid informational piece on a fiscal reality than can really be called a national emergency." Posted Aug 23, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	87%
C	" [An] on-and-off comedy...as airheaded as its ditzy heroine. But it has a goofily good-natured quality." Posted Aug 21, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	38%
F	" Loud, vulgar and stupid, but what's most amazing is that despite all the bedlam, it will probably either bore you to tears or send you into gales of unintended laughter." Posted Aug 20, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
C	" The kind of thing that probably read a lot funnier than it plays." Posted Aug 19, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	63%
N/A	" Interview with Rainn Wilson" Posted Aug 19, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
C-	" An uneasy mixture of raucous Will Ferrell farce and kid-friendly Disney Channel teen teleflick that never gels." Posted Aug 18, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
D-	" Kiefer Sutherland plays a variant of his Jack Bauer character--except that this time, it's the audience he tortures, and he fails to defuse the bomb--the movie, that is." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	15%
D-	" A shaggy God story, theological Capracorn that will be indigestible except to the already converted...Henry Poole Is Here is a movie that isn't all there." Posted Aug 13, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	36%
C-	" A very minor, instantly forgettable footnote to one of the most popular cinematic series of all time." Posted Aug 13, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
D-	" It makes you want to reach for a can of Raid." Posted Aug 13, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
B	" Has a Mediterranean glow that gives the tale of passion and creativity a fundamentally warm quality that will surprise many viewers." Posted Aug 13, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	80%
C	" Tropic Thunder makes a lot of noise, but fails to produce the promised gales of laughter." Posted Aug 12, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
B	" A dispassionate autopsy of a passionate triangle, brilliantly devised if not always perfectly executed." Posted Aug 10, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	76%
N/A	" Interview with Jay and Mark Duplass" Posted Aug 8, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
B+	" At once haunting and surprisingly engaging, a unique vision of a unique place and of the people crazy or dedicated enough (or both) to devote themselves to it." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Encounters At the End of the World (2007)	94%
C	" Very uneven super-low-budget exercise...the sort of thing that's usually referred to as 'showing promise.'" Posted Aug 7, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
B+	" *Emotionally searing....Thanks largely to Garfield's heartfelt performance, Boy A* becomes a powerful, poignant story of the difficulty of forgiveness.*" Posted Aug 7, 2008*	Boy A (2008)	88%
B-	" While it may not represent the best vintage, it goes down easily enough." Posted Aug 6, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
