4/10	"In Step Brothers, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen) is the ideal audience, the girl who can't fathom the anti-nuances of masculine ritual." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%
3/10	"Lacking forward motion, Space Chimps turns itself in circles." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	37%
4/10	"Meryl Streep scampers and writhes with something like abandon in her tomboyish overalls, her glowing tan and perfectly arranged "wild" blond hair indicating Donna's stanch independence." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
2/5	"Christmas fable is cute and tame, but unoriginal." -- Common Sense Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	17%
2/10	"Meet Dave is "Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy," literally, metaphorically, exhaustively." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
4/10	"Brendan Fraser is stuck inside Journey to the Center of the Earth, a movie with precious little new to say about journeys, centers, or -- amazingly -- action." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
3/10	"The Wackness is a too familiar nostalgic movie, with period soundtrack, hot summer nights, and boys coming of age." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
5/10	"Kit Kittredge is, as her movie and doll-line assert, An American Girl, and so she'll need to face up to her national history, embrace her responsibility, and learn a useful life lesson to boot." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
5/10	"John Hancock is a black superhero desired and derided by crowds who are informed by spectacles, stereotypes, and fear." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	"Too much of Peter Tolan's movie takes up Taylor's self-absorption as if it's actually interesting." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 27, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
1/10	"Both frantic and tedious, The Love Guru piles on the slapdash offenses." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
4/10	"Get Smart makes rudimentary efforts to update, with passing references to terrorists, profiling, and inter-agency competition." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
5/10	"In The Incredible Hulk, Betty handles her role as The Girl in unusual and frankly charming ways: she's easily the film's most impressive effect." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
5/10	"*Even as it explores familiar deceits and self-delusions, When Did You Last See Your Father?* feels, in the end, as if it's entangled in them.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 8, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
4/10	"You Don't Mess with the Zohan is cacophonous and competitive comedy, more exhausting than fun." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 8, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
5/10	"Big and bouncy, Kung Fu Panda is another powerhouse Family Entertainment that means to pummel its young viewers into adulation." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 8, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
	"Indy's indomitable, of course, charismatic and clever, but he's surrounded by worn-out emblems and gestures toward a new decade, the cold war and the rise of corporate conformity." -- PopMatters Posted May 31, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	"Abusive and arty as it contemplates abuse and art, The Strangers delivers what you guess it will." -- PopMatters Posted May 31, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
	"With all the stories to be told about the war between Japan and China, it's hard to believe that this one was the most compelling or most in need of telling." -- PopMatters Posted May 31, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
	"Repetition is to be expected in a franchise with an audience to please." -- PopMatters Posted May 19, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%

	"Speed is a driver but he's so much more, embodying the opposite of the film's anti-corporate argument. He's the Matrix victorious." -- PopMatters Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"If she lived in another movie, you'd almost feel sorry for Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). But she's trapped in the execrable Made of Honor, which insists that she behave nearly as inanely as her two suitors." -- PopMatters Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%

	"The movie is grounded in a fundamental difficulty, that Walter's education is achieved by his engagement with this set of brown and black people." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 30, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"Detective Russo is bored with the story John tells her as soon as she hears it. And so, you feel instantly aligned with her, again, long steps ahead of all the shenanigans." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 30, 2008	Deception (2008)	11%
	"The boys' throwdown reveals nothing. Neither man comprehends the lunacy of the plot, however, leaving that tiresome deciphering to you." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 30, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%

	"A simultaneously broad-brush and acute critique of U.S. policy regarding detainees gives way almost immediately to the escape, inadvertent and slapdash as everything is in the (apparent) franchise." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 30, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%

	"Buddy Guy makes his guest appearance his own, and for an all too brief couple of minutes, carries the movie off to some other dimension." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 9, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
	"The tourists' fears have infected their very beings, and their decisions are increasingly ineffective precisely because they are based on fear and ignorance." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	47%
	"Racist fantasy is never a good start for a children's film, or any film, for that matter." -- PopMatters Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	49%
	"As Ben must learn a lesson, the movie must demonize Micky, whose slick meanness becomes increasingly visible." -- PopMatters Posted Mar 28, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
	""I hate the movies. They're phony, so goddamned phony." Poor Mark David Chapman: no matter how many times he rejects the world of celebrity and phoniness, he's dragged back inside." -- PopMatters Posted Mar 27, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%

	"For all its popularity, self-documentation's purpose and meaning remain elusive." -- PopMatters Posted Mar 21, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	"*All this said, there's a not bad movie inside of Welcome Home, visible in the quiet center provided by Margaret Avery." -- PopMatters* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
	"*It's not a little obvious that the Step Up* franchise means to keep a Disneyfied hand in the apparently inexorable dance movie cycle.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	25%
	"Fool's Gold is pretty much bereft of bright spots." -- PopMatters Posted Mar 21, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
	"That it ends up reinforcing the fictions instead of reframing or rethinking them is the movie's greatest disappointment, and even so, it seems trivial." -- PopMatters Posted Mar 21, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	78%
