	" A picture so seemingly light that it might be hours (or even days) before you realize how deep and rich it really is." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 10, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	95%
	" Aronofsky pulls all the usual strings in The Wrestler. But in the end the movie works, maybe because the best things about it are things that Aronfsky isn�t even conscious of." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 10, 2008	The Wrestler (2008)	n/a
	" Body of Lies is excessively intricate and extremely dull, the latest example of a filmmaker giving us a disjointed, overlong movie that�s unnecessarily confusing to follow." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	52%
	" It's like a lumpy, overworked, useless 'objet' that someone who doesn't know you very well might give you as a gift, a thing that sits around the house serving no unearthly purpose other than reminding you, none too subtly, that it's completely hollow." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 9, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	56%
	" With Rachel Getting Married, Demme has once again scaled back, making a picture that has some of the ease and warmth of his earlier movies." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 3, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	84%
	" The movie around them may not have enough shape, contrast and texture. But at least these characters are always moving forward, even if the only sure thing they've got to look forward to is dawn." -- Salon.com Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
	" A lovely, exhilarating work about the ways in which failure and frustration can open the pathways through which we make sense out of life." -- Salon.com Posted Sep 26, 2008	The Class (2008)	100%
	" The movie around Lane and Gere is unreal, a tortured construct, but they open a breathing space in its center." -- Salon.com Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	29%
	" *At the very least, Eagle Eye* gives us two principals who are appealing enough to keep us interested in them.*" -- Salon.com* Posted Sep 26, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	28%
	" Knightley is up to the task. Her Georgiana is history with a human face." -- Salon.com Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	60%
	" Leoni and Gervais are wonderful together, as much for the ways in which they wobble against each other as for the ways they ultimately mesh." -- Salon.com Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
	" It's high time for the western to be resuscitated as a genre; a picture that just pokes along amiably isn't enough to get the job done." -- Salon.com Posted Sep 17, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	75%
	" Traitor is an earnest, efficient, serviceable thriller that makes a valiant effort to untangle some of the moral complexities of the post-9/11 world." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 27, 2008	Traitor (2008)	53%
	" The House Bunny gets the difference between being openhearted and empty-headed." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	39%
	" No matter how many jokes you pack around it, arrested development doesn't make for a very compelling dramatic arc." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	63%
	" Death Race is cartoonishly brutal and pleasantly disreputable." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
	" The movie gets more cluttered and confused as it moves along, though it's dotted with so many generic battle scenes and paint-by-numbers light-saber combat sequences that you can see how it's at least attempting to mimic the illusion of excitement." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
	" Tropic Thunder is ridiculous and deeply enjoyable, but it also flashes a mercilessly polished mirror at the "prestige" products that the movie business so glibly feeds us in order to reflect glory back on itself." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 13, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
	" The movie is so wayward and fuzzy that, for the unbaked, at least, there's very little pleasure to be had in trying to follow it. The thing is so desultory and aimless that it seems like work to try to laugh at it." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 6, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
	" It's a relief to go to the movies and see teenage girls acting like teenage girls, as opposed to grown women acting like teenage girls." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 6, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
	" Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is more of the same -- and yet less." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
	" Stern and his lead actor do manage to pull it all together at the end." -- Salon.com Posted Aug 1, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	38%
	" Carter doesn't try to meet or exceed fans' expectations so much as create an intimately scaled dramatic universe for his fiercely beloved characters, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, to inhabit, circa 2008." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 25, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%
	" *Stupid, crude and hilarious, Step Brothers* works by sneaking past our better judgment.*" -- Salon.com* Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
	" Before I Forget is, in the broad sense, 'gay-themed'. But it's also one of the loveliest, most direct and most devastating pictures about aging that I've ever seen." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 18, 2008	Before I Forget (2008)	89%
	" *When Brosnan opens his mouth, the wrong sounds come out. And yet they're among the few things in Mamma Mia!* that feel anything close to right.*" -- Salon.com* Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
	" [Ledger gives] a fine performance regardless, and I wish the movie around it were more deserving." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
	" Meet Dave alone may not radically change the course of Eddie Murphy's drooping career. But it is, at least, a little olive branch held out to his audience. And that's better than Nil." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
	" Poetic, funny, darkly romantic and beautifully structured." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
	" A movie that's faithful to an idea, and to a sense of adventure, more than to a specific work." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	62%
	" It's the sort of role Smith ought to be able to pull off easily. But even his superpowers apparently have their limits." -- Salon.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	" As gorgeous-looking as the picture is, you could never accuse Breillat of anything so banal as good taste." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	76%
	" The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
	" Wanted is fast-moving and bloody, enjoyable even within its unapologetically generic limits. But McAvoy is its real secret weapon." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
	" Kit Kittredge is a gentle-spirited movie that also acknowledges the fact that we can't -- and shouldn't -- protect kids from everything." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	79%
	" The picture, written by Myers and Graham Gordy and directed by Marco Schnabel (no relation to Julian), is listless and pokey, chiefly because watching Myers in this particular guise is almost completely joyless." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
	" Get Smart could have been smarter. But like the show that inspired it, it's still smarter than it looks." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
	" All action and no storytelling." -- Salon.com Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	" You can tsk-tsk Sandler's penchant for dumb, crass humor all you want, but there's some meaning behind his madness. Is there nothing more human, more humbling, than the idea of smelly feet?" -- Salon.com Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
	" The show was at its best when it offered, without a great deal of extraneous examination, these glimpses into the nature of friendships between women. The movie needs more of that." -- Salon.com Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	50%
	" At his best, Spielberg is certainly capable of tapping, to almost unnerving degree, collective moods and fears and longings, both emotional and cultural." -- Salon.com Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
	" Andrew Adamson's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a much more elaborate, ambitious picture than the 2005 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and it adds up to far less." -- Salon.com Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
	" So bereft of intelligence, style and excitement that I can't figure out who in the world it's supposed to appeal to." -- Salon.com Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
	" Even its clich�s -- including a dashing rescue on horseback -- are trotted out with bland indifference." -- Salon.com Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	" Although Downey spends a certain amount of screentime inside that suit, his face still carries the movie, giving it emotional weight." -- Salon.com Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	" Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay embraces America's capacity for decency and kindness. The possibility that we could actually be that great country isn't just a pipe dream. Only sometimes you need a pipe to truly believe in it." -- Salon.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
	" To his credit, Langenegger keeps things relatively simple instead of resorting to lots of fast cutting and fancy camera angles. To his detriment, the picture he has made barely moves at all." -- Salon.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
	" Even if the picture is softer than it needs to be, it still resists devolving into something warm and squishy." -- Salon.com Posted Apr 23, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
	" When Chan and Li match wits, each celebrates the other's presence. This isn't just a martial-arts display; it's generosity and camaraderie in motion." -- Salon.com Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
