A	"*Believe the hype. The Dark Knight* is, quite simply, the superhero of superhero films.*" Posted Jul 24, 2008*	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
B	"Lacking the punch or creativity of the stage musical, this sunny, but not very funny adaptation is short on vocal prowess and choreography." Posted Jul 24, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%

B	"Has plenty of funny, even tender moments until it veers in a different, messy direction an hour in." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
B+	"That's the beauty of Pixar, behoden only to its own quality standards, it can still play the part of the child prodigy whose creative genius appears to have no boundaries." Posted Jul 19, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%

D	"Wouldn't it be redundant to describe the self-indulgent big-screen adaptation as similarly vapid, pointless, and poorly acted as the popular HBO show upon which it is based?" Posted Jul 19, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
C-	"This should have a big label that reads '20% above average humor, 80% below the belt crass.'" Posted Jul 19, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
B-	"This derivative rom-com works best when the leads are exacting revenge on each other." Posted Jul 19, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%

B	"Awkward and sometimes overly subtle, but compelling performances by a cast of normally supporting actors who make the most of their much deserved chance to carry a film." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
C	"Leatherheads really doesn't know what kind of film it is, and as a result it shanks the winning kick -not by a mile- but by enough to be a disappointment." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
C-	"A diligent ensemble can't lift the film to anything higher than a shallow fairy tale with only worthy intentions." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
B	"Those who like their comedy, romance, and tragedy in quiet doses should enjoy this textured story." Posted Jul 19, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
C+	"It may take a rocket scientist to successfully count cards, but not to wite a smarter script than what 21 delivers." Posted Jul 19, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
B	"Seen through the eyes of a child, this adaptation my lack originality but is fast paced, contains enough fantasy to balance the family drama and is, at times, very scary." Posted Jul 19, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
B	"Who will our unlucky in love protagonist ultimately choose? Even if one correctly surmises, the journey is filled with quietly humorous and engaging moments." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
C-	"Similar to a theme park ride that scares kids, this Asian horror film frightens only newcomers to the genre from which it practically bootlegs." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
A-	"This Spanish psychological mystery is captivating, creepy and hopeful." Posted Jul 19, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
C	"The whodunit-with-terrorist-undertones doesn't test, shock or surprise the audience in any unique way." Posted Jul 19, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
B	"Earns plenty of laughs without sinking to gross-out levels." Posted May 25, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%

A-	"Downey charms the heck out of the opportunity he's given." Posted May 25, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
B+	"Poehler's the engine that propels this light comedy to surprising levels that far exceed the predictability suggested by the preview trailer." Posted May 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
B	"The character development and spiritual themes present in the first film are downplayed allowing room to showcase its grand scale production values at the cost of some heart." Posted May 25, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
C+	"Its eye candy may not satisfy anyone other than the most dedicated of fans. This film could have used a heavy dose of Spielberg pacing and Pixar personality." Posted May 24, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
B+	"Lingers long after the lights come up. We can be grateful that films of quiet, unique beauty continue to be made." Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
C	"An inane script buries good actors who have terrific chemistry... A convoluted treasure hunt plot and sinking sentimentality don't help." Posted Feb 13, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
C	"The lack of irony or humor -- except for the occasional unintended chuckles provoked by certain platitudinal one-liners -- here separates the violence from Tarantino films or graphic novel adaptations that often use their bloodfests to parody or to bemuse" Posted Jan 29, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
B+	"Different in all the right ways-- a complex, unpredictable attempt at giving its audience a lot to chew on. Pardon those of us who will take a flawed opus over bloated unoriginality." Posted Jan 26, 2008	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
B	"[A] spotty, but ultimately effective thriller." Posted Jan 26, 2008	Rendition (2007)	48%
B+	"With the help of a great screenplay and tremendous acting, this film ... soars above the typical minority/underdog formula to inspire more than it manipulates." Posted Jan 26, 2008	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
C+	"Katherine Heigl impresses and James Marsden is predictably dreamy in this always a bridesmaid never a you-know-what, been there, done that clich�-ridden formulaic rom-com." Posted Jan 26, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
A-	"Burton and Depp again prove to be a marvelous combination in this gory yet glorious adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical. When was the last time you winced and became misty-eyed in the same movie?" Posted Jan 26, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
A-	"Friendship, loyalty, tragedy, and politics are themes sensitively and sometimes terrifyingly examined. But the film's hopeful spirit hits home despite the differences in our culture and language." Posted Jan 26, 2008	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
B+	"If you can stomach it, expect to leave the theater shaken yet entertained by every jolting, unexpected minute." Posted Jan 26, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
B	"*While not a classic in its own right, The Bucket List* displays two great actors in classic form, a sort of Planes, Trains and Automobiles for maturing audiences.*" Posted Jan 20, 2008*	The Bucket List (2007)	42%
B+	"Bursting with star power, comes off as a smart comedy, economically written and briskly paced while making politics more fun than they have a right to be." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
B+	"And one more bonus, the technology almost convinces us Angelina Jolie can act. Revolutionary, indeed." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Beowulf (2007)	69%
D	"A film so filled with clich�s of the genre and plot points so dumb that even a novice would end up laughing." Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Messengers (2007)	11%
B	"A quietly moving story about a single Father and his Son. This decent film gets better as you watch it." Posted Jan 4, 2008	Firehouse Dog (2007)	38%
C	"Parents longing for entertaining and intelligent family superhero fare would be much better served renting 2005's Zathura or Sky High." Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
C-	"Better to fold 'em than to spend time watching Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore go literally nowhere." Posted Jan 4, 2008	Lucky You (2007)	28%
B+	"While no rational person would believe Castro and Hillary are to be exalted, its medical horror stories are absolutely believable by anyone who's dealt with an HMO." Posted Jan 4, 2008	Sicko (2007)	93%
C	"Each film would have fared better as a 15-minute short." Posted Jan 4, 2008	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
