8/10	"Even if some of the gags about dumb people start becoming tiresome, it's linked to a sensation of discomfort that should make us legitimately worry about the direction we're headed in." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 18, 2008	Idiocracy (2006)	72%
7/10	"Pop moviemaking aimed towards an underserved demographic, but one respects its approach in assuming its audience is at least intelligent and emotionally mature." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 18, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)	77%
7/10	"A whirlwind demo of technical proficiency. It's recommendable on camera choreography and seamless editing alone." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	87%
6/10	"Consider it Wong lite." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 1, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
6/10	"Mostly successful [in creating fun], but along the way its strengths struggled mightily against its weaknesses." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
10/10	"[Gotham City] stands in for any of today's civilized nations and becomes ripe for thematic exploration. And Nolan wastes no chance to utilize this world for a tale about how fragile our morality is." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
8/10	"Seeing the movie becomes a method of understanding, of putting into perspective, our place and limited privilege on Earth." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 11, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	94%
10/10	"An ode to finding one's creative side and the joys of being able to share one's creations with others." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 11, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	67%
7/10	"Hellboy II is downright goofy. When it's not being funny, the creatures steal the show." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
5/10	"Only half a good movie -- the whole of it becomes confusing, disappointing, and non-sensical." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
10/10	"It wouldn't be a stretch to call the movie pitch perfect." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
5/10	"The main characters themselves -- Max and Agent 99 -- and their relationship receive a rather disappointing stock treatment that lacks creativity." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
8/10	"A lot of fun and, frankly, exactly what one would have expected from a Hulk movie." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
7/10	"A plea for compassion and understanding; its lack of the negative side of human nature almost makes it seem desperate in that regard, but overall it's deft at achieving its goal." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 9, 2008	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	81%
6/10	"Chadha does a decent job directing, while Parminder Nagra does a good job acting. The movie's main problem is that it's a little more fussy than it needs to be." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 9, 2008	Bend It Like Beckham (2003)	85%
7/10	"A pleasant surprise. It avoids easy targets and actually bases its humor in its performances." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
10/10	"What was I worried about? Steven Spielberg and his crew haven't missed a beat." -- Window to the Movies Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
7/10	"Frontloaded, [but] boasts a great look, abundant humor, and Robert Downey Jr. making the case for middle-aged, flawed superheroes." -- Window to the Movies Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
7/10	"*I think that's the greatest thing about these Harold & Kumar* movies. They make stereotyping look ridiculous.*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	55%
7/10	"[Chan and Li] punch, kick, jump, and fall all over in an extended sequence that never feels too long." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
6/10	"*Its almost desperate earnestness actually turns out to be its greatest appeal -- August Rush* does believe in fairy tales, it does it does it does!*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Apr 17, 2008	August Rush (2007)	38%
5/10	"Bland, watered-down Seinfeld-ian humor for kids, amusing at best, grating at worst." -- Window to the Movies Posted Apr 17, 2008	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
5/10	"I like seeing directors try to branch out, but Chow's attempt just doesn't feel particularly well thought-out." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Mar 6, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	52%
7/10	"[Jones] makes the father's pride, determination, stubbornness, patriotism, and love extremely, utterly believable, sympathetic, and involving." -- Window to the Movies Posted Feb 26, 2008	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
7/10	"The urgency of the [first-person] perspective plus the general sense of hopelessness for humanity add up to a sense of despair." -- Window to the Movies Posted Feb 14, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
4/10	"*Maybe the goal of Jumper* involved making you dislike its protagonist ... If so, then congratulations would be in order.*" -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews* Posted Feb 14, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
6/10	"*As a product of our globally-aware disaster-ridden times, Cloverfield* touches upon interesting themes ... But it doesn't do much more than just glaze over [them].*" -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 22, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
5/10	"Despite good energy and a source with ample potential, the film is held back by trite ideas." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jan 14, 2008	The Hoax (2007)	85%
8/10	"The movie employs all of the hallmarks that has made the show such a cult favorite. Amidst this, the movie retains its keenness of observation and sense of the profound." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Futurama the Movie: Bender's Big Score (2007)	100%
8/10	"Better than the debuts of most actors-turned-directors in that it contains vision and perspective as opposed to concentrating mostly on performances" -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
8/10	"Burtynsky's awe-inspiring work ultimately speaks for itself." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
7/10	"Its academic approach, which allows its characters to be themselves and their relationships to crinkle and fold within each other to no obvious end, shows both strength and vulnerability." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
10/10	"No lesson needs to be learned here, but observations can and should be noted because we're so rarely fed such coldly realistic characters." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 25, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
7/10	"A predictable but sturdy genre offering." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 24, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
10/10	"A focused tone [puts] you right into the head of its storyteller, where everything about the art augments the initmacy of the teller's thoughts and emotions." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 24, 2007	Persepolis (2007)	96%
8/10	"It's as if Stephen Sondheim's musical was meant to be a Tim Burton movie all along." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
6/10	"Sounds like a spy movie but it's handled as a comedy, and while the whole thing is droll (there's more than a few funny exchanges in the film), it also feels weightless." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 20, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
8/10	"At very best, someone will recognize the good work here by the star of the show, John C. Reilly... What's taking so long? Give the man an award already!" -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 20, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
5/10	"Little seems to be designed to make a lasting impression, though the movie may achieve its modest goal of providing mild fun." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
6/10	"Challenges one to keep up, but its destination is disappointingly simplistic. Just the same, I look back on the film with a wry smile." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 13, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
4/10	"The movie's robotic execution doesn't match its ambition to tell an adult story for an adult audience." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
7/10	"Provides a well-produced, if not necessarily fresh, version of the apocalyptic scenario, with the most haunting visuals being that of empty New York." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
7/10	"Disney's idea is to postmodernize their own princess franchises, and instead of going after them with snark, the references are giddy and gleeful (and quite numerous)." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 12, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
9/10	"Some of the stories and images here are simply, shakingly unforgettable ... The punch it delivers to the gut of viewers indicates the documentary makes the kind of impact it was seeking." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 12, 2007	Nanking (2007)	98%
8/10	"Atonement's main strength is its flow, and its cinematic techniques are able to both bolster the flow and occasionally distract from it." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 7, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
5/10	"So much of the movie is just explanatory and expository dialogues and monologues. New characters, new concepts = more explanations. And lots of backstories." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
8/10	"Juno turns out to be about hope and understanding. Everyone's heart is in the right place here, and maybe that's why the movie wins out." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 5, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
9/10	"Diving Bell, though uncompromising in its own way, comes across as aggressively watchable." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 29, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
7/10	"Draws its strength mainly from the complex, familiar character of the sister, as written (and directed) by Tamara Jenkins and played expertly by Linney." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 27, 2007	The Savages (2007)	91%
7/10	"Its almost-bedtime-story delivery heightens its design as a parable about finding focus and clarity after enduring much chaos and wading through the mud." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 25, 2007	Waitress (2007)	88%
