	"Boy A is so excessively mannered that the story�s human element (misunderstood youth, society�s indifference) is lost." -- New York Press Posted Jul 23, 2008	Boy A (2008)	79%
	"This is a vile misuse of the intimate, verit� and reportorial technique that the Maysles, Pennebaker and other doc pioneers worked so hard to justify." -- New York Press Posted Jul 23, 2008	American Teen (2008)	59%
	"Schnabel is not exactly the ideal interpreter of Lou Reed�s Berlin-years anguish. And the Berlin songs themselves don�t transport one into that experience so much as convey a once-novel attitude." -- New York Press Posted Jul 16, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	83%
	"*The new film version of the Broadway musical Mamma Mia!* seems to be made by people who have no instinctive connection to pop music.*" -- New York Press* Posted Jul 16, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
	"The Golden Army's insultingly simplistic cast of a thousand Bosch and Star Wars creatures distracts from the identity-crisis that ought to be the point of a second installment and a larger vision." -- New York Press Posted Jul 16, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
	"This isn�t gay self-hatred, but an authentic unnerving portrait; it dares to oppose cinema's false romanticism with ruthless honesty." -- New York Press Posted Jul 16, 2008	Before I Forget (2008)	86%
	"The generation of consumers who swallow this pessimistic sentiment can�t see past the product to its debased morality. Instead, their excitement about The Dark Knight�s dread (that teenage thrall with subversion) inspires their fealty to product." -- New York Press Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
	"Mackenzie�s sparkling, moody black-and-white images of what might be called the Native American Diaspora, depict a classic American story of aspiration and tragedy. It is beautiful and devastating." -- New York Press Posted Jul 9, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	88%
	"*Despite its problems, The Wackness* employs the emotional extravagance of its hip-hop soundtrack to achieve a triumph of romanticism.*" -- New York Press* Posted Jul 2, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	64%
	"Gunnin� is everything the fatuous, condescending Hoop Dreams was not." -- New York Press Posted Jul 2, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
	"Breillat can�t make up for Argento�s shallowness, and her own political imprudence gets in the way of her romanticism." -- New York Press Posted Jun 25, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	77%
	"Myth and piety are the film�s guiding principles -- documenting truth isn�t." -- New York Press Posted Jun 25, 2008	Trumbo (2008)	72%
	"Schnabel�s bland direction expresses no particular vision." -- New York Press Posted Jun 25, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
	"Get Smart tempts one toward the cynical thought that summer entertainment is deliberately meaningless. Should Hollywood ever grow up, Carrell and Hathaway would be ideal for another remake: God forbid it�s TV�s Moonlighting, but how about The Thin Man?" -- New York Press Posted Jun 18, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
	"After the brilliantly original The White Diamond and The Wild Blue Yonder presented unusual professions and exotic outposts where individuals leave conventional society to express their aberrant instincts, the intrepid Herzog has finally hit a rut." -- New York Press Posted Jun 18, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	95%
	"A better title for M. Night Shyamalan�s The Happening would be Nonsense. It�s like an amusement park ride that has no reason for being -- and no meaning -- besides visceral excitation. Only difference is that The Happening isn�t fun." -- New York Press Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"*In Derek, Isaac Julien evokes the graphically complex style of Derek Jarman�s radical filmmaking to commemorate the tensions and tangled ambitions of a modern, politically aware gay artist." -- New York Press* Posted Jun 11, 2008	Derek (2008)	n/a
	"By examining this older/younger couple for differences of social circumstance, individual ego and personal desire that pertain to any love relationship, Santi and Mascara present a complex testament of gay experience. It�s remarkable because it�s rare." -- New York Press Posted Jun 11, 2008	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)	96%
	"It�s the crappy summer blockbuster Marvelites probably deserve." -- New York Press Posted Jun 11, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"*In Zohan, Sandler, his co-writers and director Dennis Dugan keep tossing away jokes and throwing away significance." -- New York Press* Posted Jun 4, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
	"The Wedding Director is truly complex; but that�s also its delight." -- New York Press Posted Jun 4, 2008	The Wedding Director (2008)	43%
	"*The best thing about Dario Argento�s The Mother of Tears* is that it ends.*" -- New York Press* Posted Jun 4, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
	"Movin� on up to the movie big time means Sex and the City can no longer be accepted as just a cable-TV party game. It has to compete with the big girls, Hollywood�s classic representations of female beauty, desire and strength. And it doesn�t." -- New York Press Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"This non-nihilistic film is a vision of our political complicity and humane potential." -- New York Press Posted May 28, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
	"The Foot Fist Way signifies the most original comic vision since Hot Fuzz." -- New York Press Posted May 28, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
	"Neither savage nor graceful, Savage Grace�s creaky -- and creepy -- tale of mother-son incest doesn�t get the art-film benefit-of-the-doubt that led critics to acclaim Swoon." -- New York Press Posted May 28, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
	"This is Spielberg at his most pop and most amazing: turning the shiny American quotidian into an authentically numinous and strange experience." -- New York Press Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	"Diaz and Kutcher restore the original, ebullient meaning of 'sex comedy'. They�re fun to watch, which is a rare thing in this Zellweger, Clooney, Kidman, Gosling, Apatow world." -- New York Press Posted May 14, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
	"*Although Battle for Haditha* is certainly a plotted and arranged fiction, it is skillful and informative without corrupting our perspective via the techno-faddishness that undoes current filmmakers*" -- New York Press* Posted May 7, 2008	Battle for Haditha (2008)	63%
	"*There hasn�t been such manifest smugness on screen since The Squid and the Whale." -- New York Press* Posted May 7, 2008	Noise (2008)	52%
	"The Fall remains remote and unengaging." -- New York Press Posted May 7, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
	"Iron Man is a dispiriting attempt to apply superficial principles to inherently silly kid culture." -- New York Press Posted May 7, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	"*Over all, there�s the drab, sinking feeling of Matrix 3* -- that the Wachowskis� lame, expensive imaginings have played out.*" -- New York Press* Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"Mister Lonely is an offshoot of our celebrity-mad culture, like the National Enquirer morphing into The Maury Povich Show." -- New York Press Posted Apr 30, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	43%
	"It�s hard to make the leap from Stallone�s American jingoism to a nascent British graphic artist�s developing pop whimsy." -- New York Press Posted Apr 30, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
	"Mamet�s self-seriousness stifles Redbelt�s cinematic potential. It�s so tightly structured it offers no surprises -- especially not the satisfaction of watching action-movie conventions reward a shared sense of morality." -- New York Press Posted Apr 30, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
	"Standard Operating Procedure is a documentary debacle." -- New York Press Posted Apr 23, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
	"*I can�t say that I love all of Roman De Gare, but it is worth reporting that the first half of the film is nearly perfect -- a master�s piece." -- New York Press* Posted Apr 23, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
	"Chaos Theory, starring Ryan Reynolds, confirms the underground vision of screenwriter Daniel Taplitz, who has re-imagined the screwball comedy in original terms." -- New York Press Posted Apr 16, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	29%
	"*Damn if the title The Life Before Her Eyes* doesn�t give away director Vadel Perelman�s entire conceit!*" -- New York Press* Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
	"88 Minutes plays like a script Tom Cruise rejected back in the �90s, forcing Pacino to run -- across campus, across town, through parking garages, up and down stairs." -- New York Press Posted Apr 16, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
	"The Forbidden Kingdom�s high-flying exhilaration strikes the right note for the first onscreen pairing of action-movie legends Jet Li and Jackie Chan." -- New York Press Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
	"Sokurov�s sentimental poetry embroiders a nation�s personal connections to the military; he shows the ineffable grace that contemporary American filmmakers are too pent up to grant us -- truths about fealty that our movies neglect." -- New York Press Posted Apr 9, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	94%
	"*If only Street Kings� director, David Ayers, and screenwriter, James Ellroy, had the wit to complement Keanu�s ingenuity; instead, Street Kings* unintentionally provokes laughter.*" -- New York Press* Posted Apr 9, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
	"*It�s credit to both Streep and Quinn�s integrity that Dark Matter* uncovers the natural instincts and social foibles that underpin racism.*" -- New York Press* Posted Apr 9, 2008	Dark Matter (2008)	34%
	"*In My Blueberry Nights, Wong Kar-wai�s first American-set, English-language film -- and his first feature shot on video -- the Hong Kong filmmaker has achieved a ravishing, triple triumph." -- New York Press* Posted Apr 2, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
	"*Like Terry Gilliam�s 12 Monkeys* (a two-hour adaptation of Chris Marker�s 28-minute La Jet�e), Hou�s Lamorisse remake lasts longer than the original -- but says less.*" -- New York Press* Posted Apr 2, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
	"*Unlike Ocean�s Thirteen, this formulaic heist movie has a streak of psychological perversity." -- New York Press* Posted Apr 2, 2008	Flawless (2007)	59%
	"*Being better than In the Valley of Elah�s lazy view of returning vets as damaged and mentally depraved isn�t good enough." -- New York Press* Posted Mar 26, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"[Director] Luchetti understands that the soul of Italy is found in its disparate people -- its brothers -- and particularly in its cinema tradition. Luchetti strides in the footpath of giants." -- New York Press Posted Mar 26, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
