"Dark Knight is epic, frightening, unforgettable, unstoppable, and every inch a classic Batman trial, brought to life with disquieting, mouth-slashing sincerity." -- BrianOrndorf.com

"When Kingdom rears back and delivers the goods, the result will reduce the average Indy fan to pudding. The film should offer a new pair of pants with every ticket." -- BrianOrndorf.com

"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

"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

"3D is an experience that will overwhelm the faithful and enchant the newcomers...a well-rehearsed corker of a show that hits all the U2 basics while providing unsettling intimacy far beyond the limitation of previous cinematic concert efforts." -- eFilmCritic.com

"It's almost needless to write that Daniel Day-Lewis tears into the role with hurricane-like authority. This is not acting, folks, it's a demonic possession." -- DVDTalk.com

"It's cinematic excellence from Affleck, who takes Lehane's prose and splashes it with cold water, opening the senses of the story, turning it into an unexpected emotional sucker punch." -- eFilmCritic.com

Gone Baby Gone (2007)94%

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)64%

"One of the best pictures of the year...King of Kong is an uproarious, unsettlingly observant, and romantically biased documentary on the golden years of classic gaming." -- eFilmCritic.com

The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)97%
/

"The picture walks on air describing inexcusable violations of political faith and public safety, brilliantly forming a claustrophobic visual representation of a country struggling to live under the growing cancer of crime." -- eFilmCritic.com

"It's a heavily stylized, volatile, atomic sensory shockwave that is so hip and ice cool, you'll need to visit MySpace just to bring your overall awesome back down to a manageable level." -- OhmyNews.com

Grindhouse (2007)81%

"A stupendous documentary...an adrenaline rush of nostalgia and sloppy fanboy kisses that packs more historical perspective in its dorsal fin than most retrospectives spend a lifetime chasing." -- eFilmCritic.com

The Departed (2006)92%

"In a sense, it is blatant, clichéd hero worship, but Stone earns this impassioned interpretation through his care and respect behind the camera for the characters and the gravity of the situation." -- FilmJerk.com
