4/5	"One of the best things about Man on Wire is how little it tries to decipher Petit's actions, even with the copious amount of time it spends interviewing him and his accomplices" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
1.5/5	"The only mystery worth answering here is: Why did they bother?" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	31%

2.5/5	"never comes to grips with its standard-issue plot mechanics, delivering neither the icy thriller that its cool detachment edges towards, nor the pulse-quickening potboiler that its story would seem to demand." -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	92%

	"...Garfield presents an indelible portrait of a young man trying to figure out how to continue his life in the face of haunting secrets and a world that doesn't want to let him forget it." -- Film Journal International Posted Jun 23, 2008	Boy A (2008)	83%
7/10	"*...for a show that premiered in the same season as epic cheese like Knight Rider* and Silver Spoons, Square Pegs is practically Playhouse 90 by comparison.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 19, 2008	Square Pegs - The Complete Series ()	n/a
3/5	"...a meditative response to unthinkable violence." -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jun 13, 2008	A Promise to the Dead: The Exile Journey of Ariel Dorfman (2007) (2008)	n/a

	"A sprightly collection of Gallic short subjects that sprints from romantic froth to earnest documentation (almost) without skipping a beat." -- Film Journal International Posted Jun 3, 2008	"L'Origine de la tendresse" and Other Tales (2008)	n/a
	"A big, sloppy, gooey sundae of a film that is, for better or for worse, just like the show ... only longer." -- PopMatters Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"The same lack of personal distance that keeps Bell from scoring cheap shots against the anti-steroid hysterics is the same connection that powers the film's emotional take on America's cult of winning." -- Film Journal International Posted May 28, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
	"There should be room in our collective imagination for a hero who makes mistakes, lots of them, and still saves the day." -- PopMatters Posted May 27, 2008	Indiana Jones - The Adventure Collection (1981-1989)	100%
