Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
3.5/4	"A tight, entertaining and thought-provoking thriller that accomplished something movie spinoffs of TV shows rarely do. It allowed its characters to grow out of the holding pattern the basic premise requires." Posted Jul 25, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%
2/4	"Chanu, a torrent of frustration who seems to be no more happy with the union than his wife is, confronts Karim in a memorable scene that packs a spark the rest of the film lacks." Posted Jul 24, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
1/4	"Should be locked away for the sake of mankind." Posted Jul 24, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
3/4	"Nothing in the movie feels politically correct or focus-grouped." Posted Jul 23, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%
4/4	"Analyzing the successes of such a blistering, genre-defining masterwork (I'm already slipping) is tantamount to judging the contours of Michelangelo's David or evaluating the shading and form of Da Vinci's The Last Supper." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
1/4	"*About a half hour into Hellboy II: The Golden Army, my friend turned to me and asked "Does this movie have a point?"" Posted Jul 12, 2008*	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
3/4	"Hell has no wrath like a Khan scorned." Posted Jul 9, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
N/A	"But forget the story. This is just a free-fall into the imaginations of some highly creative visual-effects designers." Posted Jul 9, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/4	"The effects are amazing." Posted Jul 9, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/4	"It is all about cherishing every time you see your father." Posted Jul 3, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
3/4	"Earns its lunch with disarmingly upbeat sentimentality." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3/4	"The action comedy, a biting satire of superhero mythology and the comedy that results from its real-world applications, makes you love the guy for his brutally logical demeanor." Posted Jun 30, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
2/4	"Fails as a comedy because it's less funny and interesting than it would be to watch stars Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly sitting in lawn chairs and talking for 90 minutes." Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
N/A	"No matter how right the messages are, the flat delivery doesn't serve them well." Posted Jun 25, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2.5/4	"The film poses as thinking-fans animation, but there's little room for wonder or interpretation in the on-the-nose presentation." Posted Jun 25, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2/4	"The film, more ant farm than movie, seems like a lazy effort from a talent who has lost his edge." Posted Jun 25, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	43%
4/4	"Distorts your view of reality, ripping up the screen with a distinctive style that bends time, scale and motion at its whim." Posted Jun 25, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
3/4	"The movie is about as good as a dumb action flick with a pathetically computer-rendered monster could be." Posted Jun 23, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
3/4	"A gay romantic comedy, witty and charming enough to stand up to any boy-meets-girl date flick in the megaplexes." Posted Jun 20, 2008	A Four Letter Word (2008)	70%
2.5/4	"Missed it by that much." Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
N/A	"If they had a hall of fame for racist movie caricatures, Mike Myers' turn as Indian-raised Pitka would be an instant shoo-in." Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
1/4	"Took a lot of cheap shots at Indian culture. Myers went way too far and the sad thing was he wasn't even funny about it." Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
3/4	"*For Night, The Happening* is a little blip on his career flatline. The guy just may pull through.*" Posted Jun 16, 2008*	The Happening (2008)	19%
3/4	"Despite the awards pedigree, the drama is a bit of a slog at times, with Accio taking seemingly ages to come of age, but nobody said growing up was easy." Posted Jun 12, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
N/A	"Should go into hiding." Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
3.5/4	"Throughout the film, Morris wants to get you to consider what was going on outside the frames of the stills, especially in offices going up the chain of command, which apparently approved of torture and humiliation." Posted Jun 5, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
3.5/4	"*If you, too, are a son of Rambow,* or are from the era of The Lone Ranger or even the Power Rangers, this movie calls to you.*" Posted Jun 5, 2008*	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
2/4	"The whole style of humor seems dated." Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
1.5/4	"Shock hit me several times while watching the movie, and never in a good way." Posted Jun 3, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
2/4	"The directors might have benefited by going smaller %u2014 for instance, focusing on two or three pieces of lost artwork and tracing their history. This art documentary simply isn't artful enough." Posted May 29, 2008	The Rape of Europa (2007)	78%
2.5/4	"Both Kutcher and Diaz are in full-on desperation mode, straining in each scene to prove they can still be relevant, showing flashes of the charm that made them famous in the first place." Posted May 27, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
3.5/4	"Indirectly scolds today's meek populace for letting its war-minded government rage unchecked." Posted May 22, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	76%
2/4	"The distinction of being Boll's best film is hardly a compliment in the grand scheme of things, sort of like being the wealthiest homeless person." Posted May 22, 2008	Postal (2008)	9%
N/A	"Indy IV beats expectations." Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
1.5/4	"Girls rock, flat documentaries do not." Posted May 16, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	74%
3/4	"Riedel's film is a breakthrough achievement and a hopeful sign of more to come." Posted May 16, 2008	How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)	83%
3/4	"They're necessary, eat-your-shredded-wheat watching for any movie lover, and are worlds better than all those middling Harry Potter films." Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
3/4	"Finding a way to compartmentalize your bitterness while keeping your heart open to enlightening relationships is a more difficult task than facing Ivan Drago. In Russia. On Christmas Day. For no money." Posted May 15, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
3/4	"The sequel proves you can still have fun with Harold and Kumar, but you can never go back to White Castle again." Posted May 12, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
N/A	"The Wachowski brothers' message with Speed Racer is We give up." Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
3/4	"Reminds me of Mario Kart." Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
2.5/4	"A 34-year-old music-video director, Labaki shows promise with a smooth, artistic eye, although she succumbs to the Mel Gibson-like tendency to give herself the most closeups." Posted May 1, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
1.5/4	"The cinematic equivalent of the Bush administration." Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
3.5/4	"Easily the best superhero film since "Batman Begins," which for my money is the best in the genre." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
N/A	"Pearls from Perelman" Posted May 1, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
2/4	"And then, THUD. Like an Acme anvil, the ending smashes everything to smithereens and you're left as discouraged as Wile E. Coyote." Posted May 1, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
N/A	"Makes you believe Robert Downey Jr. has other superpowers than the ability to resurrect his career every time he gets strung out and imprisoned." Posted Apr 30, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
N/A	"Abdominal contractions, uncontrollable screaming and a loss of bladder control are signs you're either going into labor or watching Baby Mama." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
3/4	"Fey and Poehler prove to be a movie force to be reckoned with, reminiscent of David Spade and Chris Farley in "Tommy Boy."" Posted Apr 23, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
1/4	"If one is the loneliest number, two is company, three is a crowd and four is an orgy, then eighty-eight must be the universal symbol for unwatchability." Posted Apr 17, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
