" "So here it is: The best superhero movie ever. The Dark Knight deftly accomplishes all one could hope for, and then it surpasses it, and then it continues to surprise. The movie isn't just a triumph, it is that rare pop-culture oddity: A masterpiece.""

The Dark Knight (2008)95%

"Long live Brennan and Dale. A funny, raunchy comedy that likely will transport grown men back to their childhoods while watching it."

"The return of Scully and Mulder turns out to be a welcome return. While the movie has nothing on the popular television show that inspired it, it does have its moments, and a nice little undercurrent of evil that's appealingly dark."

"You could spend all week eating bacon at a pig farm and still find more ham in "Mamma Mia!," an irrepressible, unstoppable kaleidoscope of karaoke camp gone berserk that features a cast happily mainlining ABBA's songbook."

"After seeing this superior movie, Hancock likely is back in rehab."

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%

"The movie respects its young audience, it has a keen appreciation for what it means to be a child in a troubled world, and it knows that there's plenty to be said for the optimism that comes with innocence."

"There are more problems afoot than just its misleading rating, beginning with the story itself."

B+
 
"So far, the quintessential summer movie, so absurd, slick and entertaining, it's an outright blast. Scarylina Jolie has never been quite so intimidating--or fun."

"A terrific movie, easily one of Pixar's best. The animation is startling and the story follows suit. So far, this is the animated film to beat at next year's Academy Awards."
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%

"Far from the MENSA candidate it should have been. In spite of its appealing leads, "Get Smart" is consistently led down by a bum script."

"With this sort of junk, Myers obviously is all out of love, and one day he'll be so lost without us."

The Love Guru (2008)15%

B
 
"Not a complete return to form (by far), but also not a failure. Let's be fair--this is the best film Shyamalan has put out in years."

The Happening (2008)19%

"Don't mess with audiences, Sandler. Yet another bum movie from the actor that so steeped in stereotypes, it's nauseating."

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

"The movie easily karate chops the weekend competition. A fine, fun film, filled with excellent animation and well-drawn characters."
Posted Jun 7, 2008
 
Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%

B
 
"A fine throwback, and one filled with moments of real suspense. In spite of its rushed, awkward ending, I'd take this any day over the Saw movies, and all that came in their wake."

The Strangers (2008)41%

"It's nice to see the girls again, but this "City" seems oddly smaller than it did when it ran on HBO. In the end, a more accurate title would have been "Strife in the City." These women, after all, aren't having much sex."

"A swell throwback, and one that was worth the wait."

"LOVED the first movie. This one? Not so much, but not that bad."

"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."

"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."

"Essentially, it's 88 distracting minutes of watching Al Pacino work the hell out of his formidable fright wig."

"Not great--but not forgettable, either. Offers enough laughs, male-frontal nudity and charm to offer a swell time at the movies."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%

"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."

Never Back Down (2008)25%

"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."

"A film that at once embraces formula and, in critical scenes, dismisses it all together."

"A complicated mess that doesn't offer audiences a single challenge beyond the very real challenge of getting through it."

Jumper (2008)16%

"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."

"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."

"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."

I'm Not There (2007)78%

"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."
