"Cusack as a mercenary in bulltetproof designer suits and Hilary Duff doing a kinky Arab superstar sexpot shoving scorpions down her crotch, can't save this satire crossing the line between the chaos of war and the chaos of filmmaking." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
War, Inc. (2008)23%
/
 
"Can we knock it off already with the mandatory mommy movies? Plus, you know a film's in trouble when there's a whole lot more chemistry and emotional depth between the girlfriends, than with Graham and any or all of those potential male suitor studs." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
Miss Conception (2008)n/a
/
 
"A pathetic excuse to trot out a procession of teenage girls in the raw, performing graphic simulated sex acts with your basic suburban family man drooling all over himself." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
The Babysitters (2008)28%
/
 
"There's far less suspense around what these lunatics are doing in this home, than what Tyler and Speedman are doing in this movie. As for the masked maniacs who disappear at dawn without a clue, they may have taken the final pages of the script with them" -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)n/a
/
 
"A lavish, battle-besieged extravaganza whose resourceful youngsters are aided by a host of at-risk mythological woodland creatures, including hairy centaurs, warrior rodents, a badger in a tree trunk, and one temperamental dwarf." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)70%
/
 
"Breathtaking photography, but Hollywood's view of history as usual, no matter where on the planet, as mere backdrop for the personal lives of glamorous white people. Casablanca meets the white man's burden, and doesn't amount to a hill of beans." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 16, 2008
 
The Children of Huang Shi (2008)n/a
/
 
"A tenderly spun tale of female sexual desire traversing three generations of Latina women north of the border, the movie is crafted glowingly from a woman's point of view, and with supreme sensitivity, dignity, warmth, sadness and humor." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 16, 2008
 
How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summers (2008)82%
/
 
"If you're thinking that there's not much point in rooting for these ballsy babes all the way because in the end crime doesn't pay, think again, sorta. Because even after they're caught, the fun is really just beginning." -- NewsBlaze

"Perhaps Majidi intended wry commentary and observation of the dubious influences of Western culture on Iran, where outside scientific, technological and material advances impart a knowledge that is not necessarily likewise wisdom, enlightenment or virtue." -- NewsBlaze

"While life just got a little more complicated with the introduction of the market economy into formerly socialist Eastern Europe and China too, so did their movies. A surface meditation on materialism and its impact on human emotions. Do the math." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 13, 2008
 
Beauty in Trouble (2006)n/a
/
 
"Along the way to its parking lot showdown, a wacky property damage conspiracy to commit insurance fraud is uncovered between Osama and Bush. The darker, zany recesses of America as viewed from the Twilight Zone. Move over, Borat." -- NewsBlaze

Postal (2008)29%

"As far fetched as the idea of guy disgust as the ultimate aphrodisiac may seem, Cameron and Ashton as the designated lovebirds keep the kinky marriage shocks and surprises coming. Move over Knocked Up. A Sex And The Sin City Vegas jackpot." -- NewsBlaze

What Happens in Vegas (2008)29%

"The arty blockbuster has arrived, and it's as flashy, accessorized and auto-erotic as can be. Which creates a strange sensation indeed, that it's not just the cars that are smoking, but those Wachowski brothers as well, and whatever's in their pipes too." -- NewsBlaze

Speed Racer (2008)35%

"This feminist outcry against spiritual second class citizenship, sheds enormous light on rigid religious conviction based on discipline and doctrine, in conflict with the spontaneous and unpredictable human impulses that manifest themselves in childhood." -- NewsBlaze

My Father, My Lord (2006)87%

"Aside from the fact that it's never a good sign when a keen interest in a particular sport dominating a movie is a must, we've seen this tale of the virtuous gladiator encircled by ruthless, greedy wolves in countless such sports movies before." -- NewsBlaze

Redbelt (2008)72%
/
 
"Not exactly Bunuel's differently abled erotica classic Tristana, it raises mystifying questions about disability as a state of mind. And whether the ultimate clues to this mind over matter mystery reside in sex, shoes or tulips, hypochondriacs beware." -- NewsBlaze

Quid Pro Quo (2008)n/a

"A colony of kooks where James Dean, Lincoln, Chaplin, Buckwheat, The Three Stooges and Little Red Riding Hood wannabes run amok in an Eldorado of wackos without ever quite losing their sanity, speaks euphorically to the many paths to personal liberation." -- NewsBlaze

"In this freakout indie satire, Robbins goes unusually insane and ready to rumble as a nervous wreck NYC lawyer so disoriented by loud street sounds, that sleep and sex are becoming a thing of the past. Egghead superheroes can also come in small packages." -- NewsBlaze
