B	"LOVED the first movie. This one? Not so much, but not that bad." Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	70%
B-	"It would be little without its superb martial arts sequences, so its good to report that the movie isn't just filled with them, but that each fight was choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping." Posted May 13, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
B-	"Not the sin some claim it to be." Posted May 10, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	29%
D	"No, Speed Racer. No." Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	35%
A-	"THIS is the way to begin the summer movie season. A smart, well-written movie that never condescends to the genre or to audiences. Robert Downey Jr. is wry and exciting as Iron Man, perfectly suiting the suit." Posted May 2, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
C-	"In this case, audiences are deceived." Posted Apr 27, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
B	"Similac should be so good." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
C-	"Essentially, it's 88 distracting minutes of watching Al Pacino work the hell out of his formidable fright wig." Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
B-	"Not great--but not forgettable, either. Offers enough laughs, male-frontal nudity and charm to offer a swell time at the movies." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
D	"Look. Let's just toss some pig's blood on this baby and call it a day." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	9%
D	"What a lovely movie." Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	42%
B-	"In the wake of "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day," we have yet another screwball comedy. And this one, while it has its problems, isn't so bad, either." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
B-	"Right from the start, it's easy to think, 'Well, poor Miss Pettigrew. She may have lived for a day, but let's hope that she and everyone with her passes by nightfall. Certainly, they will have worn themselves out by then.' And then there's a shift." Posted Mar 29, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
D-	"Apparently, they really do hate us abroad. Just look at this jewel inspired by Asian fare. Risible doesn't even begin to describe it. Lost in translation? No. Lost from the get-go." Posted Mar 23, 2008	Shutter (2008)	9%
B-	"Haven't these children been bullied enough!? Okay, seriously, while yes, we've seen all this before in better (Apatow) movies, some of the writing is very clever, the jokes do hit--and the young actors are very good." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
D	"A cross between "The Karate Kid" and "Fight Club," though without the A-list cast. That's right, the A-list cast. When compared to the D-listers assembled in "Back Down," Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio might as well be A-list." Posted Mar 19, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
B-	"Seuss' genius, updated for the masses. It's a curious mix, and it isn't always successful, but there's no doubt that this jumbled tale is the best mass-market adaptation yet of one of Seuss' works." Posted Mar 15, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
B+	"A film that at once embraces formula and, in critical scenes, dismisses it all together." Posted Mar 9, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
D	"A complicated mess that doesn't offer audiences a single challenge beyond the very real challenge of getting through it." Posted Mar 9, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
C+	"All of this feverish bending, twirling, twisting and snapping of the body is so infused with attitude, in fact, that it allows the film and its characters to live and breathe in ways that run counter to the movie's otherwise rhythmless script." Posted Mar 9, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	27%
C+	"If you're going to compete in an arena already owned by the "Harry Potter" and "Narnia" franchises, you'd better enter that fray determined to show you can compete favorably with them. And that's where "Spiderwick" runs into trouble." Posted Mar 9, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
D-	"This is actually a movie you forget while watching it." Posted Mar 9, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
F-	"So far, this is the worst movie of the year." Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
C-	"The president of the United States gets shot--and then behold! The movie also is down for the count." Posted Feb 25, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
F	"About as charming as being slapped by a stranger." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Witless Protection (2008)	0%
B-	"Moments feel disappointingly scripted, so it's especially good news that many of its characters do not." Posted Feb 17, 2008	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
C-	"So self-aware and dull, you wonder what's the point of Haynes being experimental if his experiment doesn't yield something that's compelling or, at the very least, entertaining. Insight might have been a goal, but there's no insight here." Posted Feb 10, 2008	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
A	"In spite of the rawness the film's subject, Schnabel wisely didn't create a weepy--far from it. This is a film about a flawed womanizer with little time for his children who comes to face himself by the vehicle of his own memoir." Posted Feb 10, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
A	"The best movie of Daniel Day-Lewis' career turns out to be in the best movie of Paul Thomas Anderson's career." Posted Feb 10, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
B	"A flawed movie that nevertheless offers scenes of gripping terror--and a few moments of genuine surprise." Posted Feb 10, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
C+	"Terminal cancer can wait." Posted Feb 10, 2008	The Bucket List (2007)	40%
D-	"After this bomb, McConaughey's next project should be a reality show called "Pimp My Abs."" Posted Feb 9, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
A	"A superb film, in which the enemy isn't just time." Posted Jan 11, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
A-	"No Country for Young Women." Posted Jan 6, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	95%
A	"Creepy time down south." Posted Jan 6, 2008	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
C-	"A national embarrassment." Posted Jan 2, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	32%
B+	"The emphasis on this war is personalized, and what Charlie Wilson learns from it could change the world now." Posted Jan 1, 2008	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
B+	"It's about finding the courage to raise your voice in the face of great hatred, opposition and fear. That it comes by coincidence in the wake of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto gives it an immediacy and a power it otherwise might have lacked." Posted Jan 1, 2008	The Great Debaters (2007)	79%
A	"It is an excellent, first-rate account of a story that, depending on your perspective, did or didn't end so well for Christopher Johnson McCandless (a terrific Emile Hirsch)." Posted Dec 19, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
B+	"While you sometimes feel its length, stick with it--its in its layers that the movie comes alive." Posted Dec 19, 2007	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	71%
C-	"Somebody needs to tell the director to get his head out of the computer and back into humanity, because "Beowulf," while exciting at the end, is sorely lacking in humanity throughout." Posted Dec 19, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
C	"If "Margot at the Wedding" had come to the fore with something interesting to say about corrupt families and sibling rivalry, which is the movie it wants to be, we might have had something here." Posted Dec 19, 2007	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
B+	"Excellent performances mark "The Savages," with Linney and Hoffman each navigating characters who could have become unlikable had they not been shaded with nuance." Posted Dec 19, 2007	The Savages (2007)	90%
C+	"There's no sinking into "Atonement," no losing yourself to it, no moment when the screen fades away and the story and the characters come to the fore to overcome you." Posted Dec 19, 2007	Atonement (2007)	82%
C+	"An undeniably great-looking movie that loses its way." Posted Dec 10, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
B+	"A necessary throwback, a movie focused on building character, atmosphere and chills rather than on being merely a gory gross-out." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	70%
A-	"The film, which initially seems as if it might only exist to serve its splendid dialogue, comes to serve its characters, who resonate long after Reitman and Cody deliver their final twist." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
A	"It's bloody -- and it's bloody excellent." Posted Dec 6, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
C-	"Reindeer roadkill." Posted Nov 15, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
C	"The new Robert Redford movie, "Lions for Lambs," is nothing if not nostalgic and well-intentioned, and that's part of its problem." Posted Nov 11, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
