4/5
 
" If you give [Maher] a chance, you'll find an intelligent, witty and well-researched cynic eager to give voice to an underserved minority." -- Metromix.com
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Religulous (2008)66%
/
2.5/5

Rachel Getting Married (2008)83%
/
1.5/5

Miracle at St. Anna (2008)30%

/
2/5

The Women (2008)10%
/
3.5/5
 
" Considering the impressive ensemble, it's too bad Burn ends up perfectly good but never truly great." -- Metromix.com

The House Bunny (2008)38%
/
3/5
 
" The movie clearly wants to scare the crap out of viewers, and it actually achieves that goal better than most horror movies have lately." -- Metromix.com

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)80%
/
2/5
 
" The concept isn't the problem here, it's the execution. Never campy enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure or consistently scary enough to work as pure horror." -- Metromix.com

Swing Vote (2008)38%
/
3.5/5
 
" A character drama that becomes a slow-burning thriller and offbeat female-buddy flick...succeeds primarily as a showcase for [Melissa] Leo's talents." -- Metromix.com

Frozen River (2008)86%
/
3/5

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)32%
/
4/5

/
3.5/5
 
" If you find slasher films and endless Saw sequels too predictable, it's worth giving this offbeat comedy a look." -- Metromix.com

Baghead (2008)78%
/
3/5
 
" Resides in the same lives-intersect-through-tragedy wheelhouse as 21 Grams and Monster's Ball, without those films' romantic underpinnings or powerhouse performances." -- Metromix.com

Take (2008)42%
/
4.5/5
 
" Impeccably acted, morally complex and crafted with across-the-board technical virtuosity...emerges fully formed as an American crime-movie classic." -- Metromix.com

Garden Party (2008)11%
/
2.5/5
 
" Events pass by in a muddled rush as the intimate character study of the page gives way to a hollowed-out on screen portrait." -- Metromix.com

Diminished Capacity (2008)28%
