2.5/4
 
"First-time writer/director Celine Sciamma focuses exclusively, empathetically and insightfully on her protagonists' coming-of-age experiences."
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Water Lilies (2007)79%
/
1.5/4
 
"Low in budget, inspiration and excitement, the film feels less like a bigger, better, widescreen reworking of the old goblins-and-G-men show than a forgotten script agonizingly stretched to feature length."
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)33%
/
1/4
 
"There is no plot, no sense, symmetry or structure to this train wreck."
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)52%

3.5/4
 
"Tell No One maintains a rewarding balance of genuine emotion and high-tension entertainment. See it and tell everyone."

Tell No One (2008)92%
/
1.5/4
 
"The film's creators haven't learned the Pixar strategy of creating a resonant story as the foundation of a film. So we get a formulaic tale of a lazy nonconformist who learns to take his responsibilities seriously and saves the day."
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Space Chimps (2008)37%
/
3.5/4
 
"The adaptation of the long-running stage hit is a crowd-pleasing gusher of escapism, not the least of which is respite from summertime teen action fare."
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
4/4
 
"Nolan hasn't simply made a popcorn movie for brainiacs. He's an increasingly self-assured director of action sequences."
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
3/4
 
"[Herzog is] a filmmaker ideally suited to recognize and celebrate...deep irony."
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Encounters at the End of the World (2008)95%
/
3/4
 
"'Nonstop Estonian folk music' might not be a great format for a radio station, but it sure works for The Singing Revolution."
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
The Singing Revolution (2007)83%
/
3/4
 
"A generous-spirited study of characters in pain."
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)63%
/
3/4
 
"Clean, lightweight escapism with a top-notch gimmick."
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)60%

"Even as timewasters go, this is a waste of time."

Meet Dave (2008)21%

3.5/4
 
"It's the biggest, richest, most imaginative superhero movie of the summer."
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%
/
2.5/4
 
"Only occasionally hits the target."
Posted Jul 3, 2008
 
War, Inc. (2008)31%
/
3/4
 
"It's a fond warts-and-all portrait of a writer who stands alongside Jack Kerouac and Walt Whitman as an American original."
Posted Jul 3, 2008
 
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)86%
/
2/4
 
"Almost any moviegoer should be able to find something to enjoy, but it's hard to imagine anyone liking this mishmash from beginning to end."
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
3.5/4
 
"Weird, fascinating and uproarious, My Winnipeg takes place not in chilly Manitoba but in the dreamscape of Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin's overheated imagination."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
My Winnipeg (2008)97%

"If ever there was a film to extinguish any envy of the lifestyles of the rich and famous, Savage Grace is it."

4/4
 
"Continuing a string of successes that pit Pixar films against only other Pixar films in terms of quality animation, WALL•E makes the count nine masterpieces in a row."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%
/
3/4
 
"Working a niche somewhere between the black comedy of Fight Club and the ultrafashionable mayhem of The Matrix, Wanted is an experience that's hard to defend as a whole but mesmerizing in a highway-accident rubbernecking kind of way."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)72%
/
3/4
 
"A riveting documentary that focuses more on weird family dynamics than big waves."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Surfwise (2008)100%
/
3/4
 
"Mongol is the first film of a proposed trilogy that charts his conquest of half the known world. If the sequels match this one, they can't come soon enough."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Mongol (2008)88%
/
2.5/4
 
"The visuals are vibrant and fans of Argento's bravura bloodletting will thrill to his imaginative use of pikes, entrails and his daughter, who performs a shower scene for Dear Old Dad."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)50%
/
1.5/4
 
"No amount of mugging can salvage a collection of scattershot jokes clothes-pinned to such a slender plot. It's one thing to parody a cowboy or a detective or a spy, but is there a cultural consensus on what's funny about Third World spiritualists?"
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
The Love Guru (2008)15%
/
2.5/4
 
"With comic resources like this, Get Smart should have been a hoot, not just satisfactory. Missed it by that much."
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%
/
1.5/4
 
"Audiences tolerant of clichéd uplift may dab their eyes, but demanding moviegoers will look elsewhere."
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Children of Huang Shi (2008)26%
/
 
"The attention paid to [Wahlberg and Deschanel's] piddling relationship woes vs. the entire fate of humanity is absurd. We never feel persuaded that they have a bond, much less invested in seeing them patch it up."
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Happening (2008)19%

3/4
 
"This Hulk may not be a certified smash, but it makes a big impact."

"Once we relax into the fact that not much is going to happen, we can enjoy the film's little moments of nutso inspiration."

The Foot Fist Way (2008)58%

4/4
 
"The nicest surprise about Kung Fu Panda is that it's so much better than the goofy-cutesy title would lead you to expect."

Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%

"Zohan tries for a message of social relevance with a nod to America as the land of multicultural coexistence, but its real value is in air-fluffing our cares away for a couple of hours."

You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)34%

3/4
 
"The Rape of Europa, an engrossing film based on Lynn Nicholas' 1995 book of the same name, offers a fascinating new perspective on an era that sometimes seems as if it has no more secrets."

The Rape of Europa (2007)78%

"The movie, scripted and directed by series veteran Michael Patrick King, caters to viewers nostalgic for the Emmy-winning show while pushing forward into feature film territory."

Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's an invigorating brew of dynamic visuals, quicksilver emotions, playful storytelling and chic, good-looking actors."
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Reprise (2008)88%
/
3/4
 
"A witty French espionage comedy that affectionately spoofs 1970s Eurospy thrillers."
Posted May 23, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)78%
/
2/4
 
"The action sequences are staged and edited sloppily, a far cry from the death-defying stuntman extravaganzas of yore."
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
2/4
 
"It's standard soap opera dramaturgy in wrinkled linens, loincloths and saris."
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Before the Rains (2008)45%
/
3.5/4
 
"You don't need a degree in political science to love this film...The film entertainingly demonstrates that the bonds of blood are stronger than those of ideology."
Posted May 15, 2008
 
My Brother is an Only Child (2006)85%
/
2/4
 
"The overreaching Spiro and Donahue are not content to persuade viewers; they insist on convincing us."

"Bigger, brasher, more magical and funnier than the first."
Posted May 15, 2008

"Redbelt ranks as one of Mamet's lesser efforts as writer and director."
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Redbelt (2008)71%

3/4
 
"By being a smidge smarter than the average date movie, it makes the first-time meeting, the battle of the sexes and the bumpy course of true love entertaining despite overfamiliarity."
Posted May 9, 2008
 
What Happens in Vegas (2008)27%
/
2/4
 
"Does anyone ever demand a refund for a romantic comedy that looks awfully familiar? Let's hope not, or the folks behind Made of Honor will have to do some serious reimbursement."
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%

"Fans of Chinese director Wong Kar Wai's dreamy, romantic films will find My Blueberry Nights a luscious treat, although newcomers to his world of sensuous longing will no doubt wonder what all the fuss is about."
