	"Prince Caspian, like its predecessor, delivers sweeping, swashbuckling action in a handsome production, albeit one that leaves viewers feeling quite pummeled by the end of its nearly 2 1/2 -hour running time." -- Washington Post Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
	"A frenetic, densely layered, narratively scrambled blob of moviemaking that will leave viewers alternately baffled and sensorially stunned." -- Washington Post Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
	"Toggling between Stark's impish goatee and Iron Man's full-metal body condom, and amid so many generic fireballs, kill shots and earsplitting thumps, bumps and crunches, the film finally collapses under its own weight." -- Washington Post Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	"*Uma Thurman delivers a mesmerizing performance in The Life Before Her Eyes, a film that, once seen and fully digested, exerts the same haunting pull as the shattering events it chronicles." -- Washington Post* Posted Apr 24, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
	"Audiences alive to the modest charms of its take on female friendship will be rewarded with at least a few quiet chuckles." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
	"The Visitor gives viewers a perceptive, deeply personal take on the timeless immigrant narrative, in which the most epic journey is finally one of self-discovery." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"It's impossible to tell whether the film's ending is happy because it's happy or because it's ending." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
	"Even as the derivative roots of "Nim's Island" are clearly visible, kids will no doubt vicariously enjoy Nim's adventures and Edenic existence." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 3, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
	"[Director] Lee makes a spirited and persuasive case for break dancing, not only as an art form of strength, beauty, discipline and instinct, but as a means of transcending caste and culture." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 27, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	90%
	"Even something as modest as Paranoid Park manages to reflect Van Sant's greatest strengths as an artist: his seemingly limitless fluency with his chosen medium and his willingness to tell even the oldest stories in bold new ways." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 20, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%
	"Although [director] Kutzera does a great job of cinematic excavation and editing, Military Intelligence and You! never manages to overcome its tone of glib condescension and soar to Strangelovian heights." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 20, 2008	Military Intelligence and You! (2008)	38%
	"Here, Apatow produces a script co-written by Seth Rogen that, although not particularly objectionable, seems a pale shadow of such hugely popular watersheds as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Superbad." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 20, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
	"Thanks to the uncommonly shrewd judgment of screenwriter Ligiah Villalobos and director Patricia Riggen, both newcomers, Under the Same Moon never feels like rank exploitation, even as it steadily aims for the emotional jugular." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 20, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	74%
	"An inert, sloppily written melodrama as grim and featureless as its frozen Midwestern setting." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 13, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	16%
	"Fighting for Life is essential viewing at a time when, five years on, the war's human cost is still too often mired in partisan rhetoric and administration spin." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 13, 2008	Fighting for Life (2008)	87%
	"*One part Joseph Campbell hero quest, one part multi-culti morality tale, one part live-action Flintstones* cartoon, 10,000 B.C. is finally every part just plain nuts.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Mar 7, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"*After a particularly dour Oscar season, the jolly romantic romp Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day* sparkles like a rhinestone in the muck.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Mar 6, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
	"Chicago 10 not only brings to life one of the sorriest chapters in American cultural and political history, but breathes new life into a film genre that usually has all the imagination and verve of a visit to Madame Tussauds." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 28, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
	"Filmgoers expecting My Big Fat Lebanese Waxing are in for a bigger treat: Nadine Labaki, who wrote and directed the film, possesses an astute instinct for restraint that makes Caramel smarter ans more poignantthan the average chick flick." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 28, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
	"With luck, filmgoers who discover this gem about an Egyptian police band stranded in a small Israeli town will make it the must-see movie of the season." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
	"Trudging nobly under a mantle of impeccably earnest intentions and a fussy, too-quaint-by-half production design, Honeydripper lags and drags to its utterly predictable end. There's not a spark of spontaneity or soul about it." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 21, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	67%
	"Such a far-fetched shaggy-dog yarn borders on the patronizing. But Gondry's belief in community-based, handmade, DIY culture is infectious, and his cry against big-box homogenization (fewer choices, more copies) is a noble one." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 21, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	65%
	"It's that rare genre picture targeted to teens and young adults that suffers from underkill." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 14, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
	"For the uninitiated? Man, it's a bummer." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 14, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	"For film connoisseurs who are interested in how far the medium can go in depicting human stories with realism at its most confrontational and even discomfiting, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days will provide a bracing breath of fresh cinematic air." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 31, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
	"*As Untraceable* descends into the progressively more perverted territory, it begins to practice the very hypocrisy it condemns in its audience, engaging in the rancid voyeurism it pretends to abhor.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jan 24, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
	"It's not that much fun." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 18, 2008	Mad Money (2008)	20%
	"A romantic comedy that -- despite her [Star Katherine Heigl] undeniable, apple-cheeked appeal -- sags like a day-old bouquet." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 17, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	39%
	"As tired as First Sunday is, and as shamelessly as it grovels for laughs, there's a hint of sweetness, and [director] Talbert clearly has a feel for Baltimore, where most of it was affectionately shot." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 10, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	15%
	"*Paul Thomas Anderson becomes California's certified cinematic poet laureate with There Will Be Blood." -- Washington Post* Posted Jan 4, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
	"A rich, mostly tender fairy tale." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
	"Walk Hard is one of those fish-in-a-barrel comedies that mine a rich comedic vein but manage to come up with few genuine gems." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 20, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	74%
	"Thanks to Bauby's courageous and honest writing, and Schnabel's poetic interpretation, what could have been a portrait of impotence and suffering becomes a lively exploration of consciousness and a soaring ode to liberation." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 20, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
	"One of those genre-defying hybrids that are sometimes called dramedies, The Savages tiptoes along a particularly fraught emotional tightrope, balancing observant humor and deep sadness with uncommon grace." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 20, 2007	The Savages (2007)	90%
	"A film of exhilarating, redemptive humanity, conveying an enduring sense of hope." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
	"[The script] hasn't been written as much as stamped out like so many cheap Christmas knickknacks that will be on the clearance shelf come Dec. 26." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 12, 2007	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	17%
	"Is there anything more tiresome than watching people play video games? Seth Gordon's documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters answers that question with a decisive yes: watching a movie about people playing video games." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 7, 2007	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
	"What Would Jesus Buy? is must-see viewing for anyone who thinks of Christmas as just a mall and its night visitors." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 6, 2007	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	65%
	"*In the almost spookily capable hands of 34-year-old director Joe Wright, the film version of Atonement* has achieved that to which every literary adaptation should aspire.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Dec 6, 2007	Atonement (2007)	82%
	"**The Life of Reilly pays fitting homage to a man who deserves to be remembered for much more than just trading double-entendres with Brett Somers on The Match Game.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Nov 29, 2007	Life of Reilly (2007)	100%
	"An absorbing, occasionally hallucinatory disquisition on how Dylan has brilliantly eluded his audience's projections." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 20, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	"That rare comedy that will appeal to the whole family, as it indulges in all the dreams of fairy-tale romance while making a few 21st-century adjustments." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 20, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	94%
	"This is documentary-making at its best, not pretending to be journalism, but still playing a crucial role in telling stories that otherwise wouldn't make the front page." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 15, 2007	War Dance (2007)	86%
	"Price of Sugar is designed to educate, outrage and finally spur viewers to action. That it does so with vibrant visual style and an engaging narrative makes it that rare consciousness-raising film that's not only good for you, but a joy to watch." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Price of Sugar (2007)	72%
	"*Lush, extravagant, sad and touching, Love in the Time of Cholera* still feels weirdly insubstantial when all the febrile passion has abated. Like a fever it breaks, passes and is forgotten.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Nov 15, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
	"For all its passion and topical currency, the movie plays too often like a college colloquium." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 8, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
	"Provides context and an invaluable human face to a story that too many Westerners perceive as distant or irrelevant, if they perceive it at all. See Darfur Now, and you won't read the daily news the same way again." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 8, 2007	Darfur Now (2007)	69%
	"Radcliffe is good at showing vulnerability but without the skills to give it gradation. The magic doesn't work for him this time." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 3, 2007	December Boys (2007)	42%
	"For the uninitiated, Demme's film provides an absorbing, if largely hagiographic, portrait of a man who has redefined the idea of post-presidential retirement." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 1, 2007	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
