	"With delectable-looking home movies of the couple's travels in California and Europe, Chris and Don offers an intimate portrayal of a passionate, enduring association, as well as a social history of postwar life." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 24, 2008	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)	96%
	"One of the great strengths of CSNY is how skillfully it deflects criticism of 'four balding hippie millionaires' taking to the stage to criticize American politics; the film is peppered with excerpts from some of the tour's earliest and nastiest critics." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 24, 2008	CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)	66%
	"Mamma Mia! presents itself as a piece of clever counter-programming to this summer's surfeit of pounding, effects-driven comic-book movies. But filmgoers eager to sample its sunny, synth-pop pleasures are likely to feel just as bludgeoned." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%

	"**Journey to the Center of the Earth is terrific family entertainment, an action comedy on a par with Night at the Museum and National Treasure.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jul 10, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
	"As he has done in all his movies, from creature features such as Mimic to serious dramas such as Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro creates unforgettable images, filled with color, texture, lyricism and horror." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
	"Finding Amanda has its wispy charms, including a funny scene when the ecstasy Taylor pops begins to kick in, and later when he encounters a pimp with showbiz aspirations." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 26, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
	"Jolie, thin as a wraith and as still as alabaster, reigns supreme as the queen of great screen objects, and Freeman has one of the film's funniest (if profane) lines." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
	"*For critics of the war with an appetite for red meat, War, Inc.* will prove filling, if not quite completely nourishing.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jun 26, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
	"A vivid, nuanced and sweetly forgiving study in moral ambiguity." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 19, 2008	Beauty in Trouble (2008)	69%
	"The Edge of Heaven is the movie Babel so badly wanted to be." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
	""Everybody touch somebody," he says as he opens the band prayer. He does. They do. Amen." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 12, 2008	Ballou (2008)	n/a
	"A classic comic-book hero quest that, while not entirely novel, hews to its own rules and conventions with dignity and artfulness." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"Italian director Dario Argento is revered by hard-core horror fans for his gothic, over-the-top thrillers, but even the patience of his most devoted followers will be sorely tested by Mother of Tears: The Third Mother." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 5, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
	"The question is why the time, talent and treasure of such energetic and even gifted artists have been marshaled in such a disgusting and trivial genre exercise and what viewers are supposed to get out of it. Isn't life hard enough?" -- Washington Post Posted Jun 5, 2008	Stuck (2008)	71%
	"Judged by the standards of its original medium, the movie version succeeds just as well, cramming what used to take a whole season into a nearly 2 1/2 -hour marathon of men, misery and Manolos." -- Washington Post Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"Provides a diverting portrait of modern-day Israel, as the filmmakers eschew history, politics and religion to focus instead on more intimate and universal issues of fate, loss and the longing to connect." -- Washington Post Posted May 16, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	86%
	"It's bad enough that writer-director David Ross indulges in the very perverse kind of Lolita-tinged titillation the film pretends to lament, but then he ties everything up with an oh-well shrug." -- Washington Post Posted May 16, 2008	The Babysitters (2008)	28%
	"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)	66%
	"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)	36%
	"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)	26%
	"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)	61%
	"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)	49%
	"[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)	91%
	"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)	74%
	"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)	35%
	"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)	73%
	"An inert, sloppily written melodrama as grim and featureless as its frozen Midwestern setting." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 13, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	19%
	"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)	88%
	"*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)	78%
	"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)	76%
	"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)	68%
	"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)	68%
	"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)	21%
	"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)	40%
	"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)	14%
	"*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)	92%
