A-	"Look at War, Inc as a back-flipping, over-the-top political farce, and the results are far more pleasurable. Consider the film an unofficial sequel to the 1997 classic Grosse Pointe Blank, and War, Inc. is absolutely wonderful." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 15, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	25%
D+	"Caspian is a visual sleeper hold from frame one; a constipated effort to erect widescreen wonderment, yet the production is missing dimension and needed narrative gusto." -- Sci-Fi Movie Page Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
B+	"It's a sturdy directorial job for a difficult movie; one that wants to spread the idea of travel as the ultimate cotton swab of life, but also engages in good times to keep the less spiritually open audience members awake." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 15, 2008	The Art of Travel (2008)	n/a
B	"Doug Benson is a funny guy, heartily working his laidback wit and weed-centric material to great effect, cracking up the crowds and endearing himself to the stoner underground." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 15, 2008	Super High Me (2008)	57%
D+	"Speed Racer is an ocular slap, but it's strictly empty calories; a joyless, over-plotted nostalgia machine that barely limps out of the starting gate...an inert sleeping pill." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	34%
D+	"If I had anything kind to say about Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz before this film, I'm ready to take every word back...a shrill monstrosity of a romantic comedy." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	29%
B+	"Surfwise is a captivating documentary highlighted by some significant scenes of naked confession and an overall portrait of misplaced intelligence...a powerful document of familial agitation and disillusionment." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Surfwise (2008)	100%
A-	"Monster Camp is an absolute treat, unveiling a pastime few outside the elf realm have seen before...It's a confident directorial piece in what amounts to be a spellbinding documentary of unique perspective." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Monster Camp (2008)	86%
A-	"The translation is a little bumpy, but this is Mystery Science Theater we're talking about here: even a less concentrated effort is guaranteed to be a pants-wetting night of endless laughs and infectious bad movie grimacing." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 7, 2008	Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)	72%
D	"Let's just say that glow-in-the-dark anal sex toy sight gags fail to conjure up a desired mood of friendly, good-natured fun." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
B+	"*A film predicated on ideas of suspense and pace rather than blasting violence and idiocy, Rogue* is a satisfying, skilled entry in the water-based terror genre.*" -- BrianOrndorf.com* Posted May 1, 2008	Rogue (2008)	100%
A-	"Redbelt strikes amazing notes of drama and character composition that could only come from the labyrinthine, puckered mind of Mamet." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
B+	"Superheroes have been young, mutated, and alien, but they're rarely fortysomething billionaires with a taste for one-night-stands, metallurgy, and scotch. Perhaps this is why Iron Man is so effective." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
D	"Frankly there's nothing sadder in the world than to watch a sex-laden film unable to climax properly." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
D-	"I'd assumed I would never have to write this, but I miss the confident directorial touch of the guy who made Dude, Where's My Car?" -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	56%
B	"It's not a perfect film by any means, but as a debutante ball for Fey and Poehler as big screen leading ladies, it's a dream." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
B+	"Sharing ace chemistry with Hunt, Midler's scenes are the jewels of the film; a reminder of how impressive her talent is and how much her recent career direction has failed to capitalize on her gifts." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
C	"As a poker diversion, "Deal" should pass the time, but if you're hoping for a dramatically rewarding piece of filmmaking, your odds are better with a different movie." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deal (2008)	0%
D+	"This is a movie that contains Jenna Jameson shooting billiard balls out of her vagina and characters on an existential quest of self-purpose, who thirst to maintain their voice in a fascist country that squashes free thought to profit from misery. Yikes." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	36%
B-	"There's an overwhelming and quite repellent amount of gloss applied to the finished product, yet underneath it all are many scenes of honest emotional confession, distributed through wonderful atypical performances." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Jack and Jill vs. the World (2008)	14%
B	"The roles are superbly realized by Wood and Thurman, but the real backbone of the picture is Perelman, who takes great care to weave the small tragedies into a wounded whole." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
A	"It's a firecracker of a picture, paying tribute to stomped hearts everywhere, not to mention throwing valentines toward the Muppets, luscious Hawaii, and the comedic value of the penis." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
C-	"It's impossible to take Morgan Spurlock seriously as a big-screen documentarian. Clearly he comes from the Michael Moore school of "infotainment," only without the sharp wit or, frankly, compelling subject matters." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
D-	"*The short answer is that Many* is atrociously unfunny and Melendez reveals himself to be a man of zero charisma and artistic capability*" -- DVDTalk.com* Posted Apr 17, 2008	National Lampoon - One, Two, Many (2007)	n/a
D	"How Al Pacino found himself roped into this wacky movie is another mystery entirely and one that doesn't take much research past the words "yacht payment" to solve." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 16, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
D-	"*The new Prom Night* is insistently lifeless, which I think is worse than simply being awful. At least awful has some personality to it...the defanged slasher movement once again lays a rotten egg.*" -- BrianOrndorf.com* Posted Apr 11, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	9%
B	"A polite, gentle drama about friendship and musical expression, "Visitor" dances slowly, but effectively, working its way to the heart." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
D+	"The film certainly feels like it had more to say with these complex characters, only to be gutted by an undefined entity more interested in infuriating brevity than fulfilling storytelling." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
C+	"It's certainly a film that's cruel to disagree with, but for all the goodwill and positivity it brings, there's a hollow, gimmicky quality left behind that doesn't sit well when the picture starts to take matters seriously." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	87%
B	"It does provide a compelling, edgy ride around the underbelly of life, worth the trip to bask in the tough-guy bloodshed and bullet-riddled nightlife of Los Angeles." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
4/5	Click here to read article -- DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 9, 2008	War Dance (2007)	86%
A	"A delightfully eccentric fantasy, flush with laughs and displays of fantastical ink-stained escapism; an unforgettable triumph of heart and giggles. One of the few assuredly must-see films of 2008." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 8, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	77%
D	"Kingdom is a stiff, disturbingly ill-conceived fantasy film more consumed with playing slack-jawed fanboy than telling a compelling story worthy of these two giants." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 8, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
D+	"A headache-inducing film that grows more obnoxious as it plays, but the most piercing element of the movie is Foster." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
A-	"Near-perfect at manipulating its audience...it's a marvelous nightmare machine." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	42%
A-	"Scorsese has an obsession with the Stones, and it's revealed in every last dizzying moment of this exceptional musical document." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
B+	"Executed with a fizzy bang that Clooney pulls off with a prohibition stupor and some knee-slapping generosity; the man knows how to stage a bar fight and a game of verbal chess with the best of them." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
B+	"A film of miniature treasures...a lyrical picture, not forceful. Give it some time, and it's almost sure to get under your skin." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	82%
B	"Emotionally aloof, but never far from a moment of beauty." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
F	"It's a pageant of stupidity that hopes gushing wounds and deliberate fanboy-catnip slices of ultraviolent cheese will mask the reality that it's a worthless offering in an increasingly abused genre." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 1, 2008	Day of the Dead (2007)	n/a
F	"Superhero Movie deserves a special place in the burning fires of Hell, where lazy writing, insipid direction, and an unforgivable eagerness towards bottom-feeding stupidity can roast along with the rest of the spoof genre's recent offerings." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 28, 2008	Superhero Movie! (2008)	15%
B	"Schwimmer is wise to keep his camera trained on Pegg at all times, as the actor can make any sequence worthwhile with his unexpected, jittery retorts and reactions." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
B	"Much like Las Vegas itself, it's only fun in fits, and the next morning you might find yourself regretting spending time with something comprised entirely of surface delights." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
D	"Stop-Loss features cartoonish lessons on disillusionment and irksome actors trying to blue-steel the crap out of each other." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
B	"Blindsight is an undeniably engrossing, heart-tugging documentary, rightfully departing at critical intervals from heroics to simply extol the wonders of the spirit." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	100%
B+	"A pleasurable feature film that can't help but fall in love with these perennial losers...narrated with wonderful highball sincerity by David Duchovny." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Quantum Hoops (2007)	78%
B+	"It's a satisfying picture enhanced by a few great sequences, and proves there's still plenty of life in heist cinema." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Flawless (2007)	62%
A-	"Watching these well-known stories retold with fresh, innovative angles creates a very special, educational experience - absolute pure gold to anyone who has ever followed these careers with unabashed admiration." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Mar 24, 2008	Fog City Mavericks (2007)	n/a
B+	"Adam Carolla isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the man can sling around an acidic one-liner with the best of them, and his starring debut is a familiar, but persuasively funny brew of clich�s and belly laughs." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 23, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	74%
