3.5/5	"*The real surprise of Frontier(s)* is that this creepy, bloody contemporary gross-out also has some ideas, visual and otherwise, wedged among its sanguineous drips.*" -- New York Times* Posted May 9, 2008	Frontier(s) (2008)	53%

4/5	"A likable, lightly sticky valentine to childhood." -- New York Times Posted May 2, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	76%
3.5/5	Redbelt, is a satisfying, unexpectedly involving B-movie that owes as much to old Hollywood as to Greek tragedy. -- New York Times Posted May 1, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
1.5/5	A would-be erotic thriller with no heat and zero chills, Deception has the kind of glassy, glossy sheen and risible story that mean to suggest Basic Instinct but instead invoke lesser laughers like Jade and Sliver. -- New York Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
4/5	It is, predictably, a bleak, depressing movie, but if you stick around through the end credits, you may also be in for a few surprises. -- New York Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%

1.5/5	"Greed is good and comes without a hint of conscience in 21, a feature-length bore about some smarty-pants who take Vegas for a ride." -- New York Times Posted Mar 27, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
4.5/5	*Alexander Sokurov�s Alexandra* feels like a communiqu� from another time, another place, anywhere but here.** -- New York Times Posted Mar 26, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	95%

4/5	*In Still Life, the blood and the sweat run directly into the Yangtze River, where they mingle with more than a few tears.* -- New York Times Posted Jan 18, 2008	Still Life (2008)	93%
3.5/5	Cassandra's Dream, Woody Allen's latest excursion to the dark side of human nature, is good enough that you may wonder why he doesn't just stop making comedies once and for all. -- New York Times Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	50%
1/5	"Works as a showcase for impressively realistic-looking special effects, a realism that fails to extend to the scurrying humans whose fates are meant to invoke pity and fear but instead inspire yawns and contempt." -- New York Times Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
2.5/5	*Much like man's best friend, the rough-hewn Filipino movie The Bet Collector* chases its protagonist from step to step, misery to misery, all but nipping at her heels.** -- New York Times Posted Jan 10, 2008	The Bet Collector (2006)	n/a

3/5	"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story has a good beat and you can dance to it, though mostly you�ll probably just tap your foot." -- New York Times Posted Dec 20, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	74%
3/5	"Youth Without Youth is a narratively ambitious, visually sumptuous surrealist enterprise that tries to bend time and space together as neatly as the folds in an origami swan." -- New York Times Posted Dec 14, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
1.5/5	Mr. Forster has been soundly defeated by The Kite Runner.
