86/100	"... film full of wry comments and textural gestures - Trier mixes film stock and references to MTV-style jump cuts and the French New Wave (Truffaut's Jules and Jim is an obvious point of reference) to the extent that the pyrotechnics threaten to b" Posted Jul 25, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%
75/100	"... a flat, desultory piece that relies too much on the presumed comic chemistry between its co-stars." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
91/100	"...a movie that fulfills the promise of the best Hollywood movies in that it offers us transport to an alternate yet recognizable reality." Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
85/100	"*... defaults to a kind of poetic conventionality that is unlikely to completely satisfy fans of either The Pianist* or The Love Letter.** " Posted Jul 11, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	69%
93/100	"... a plainspoken, poetic work that is likely to surprise you with its virtues no matter how often you've heard it called a "great film."" Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Bicycle Thief (1948)	97%
84/100	"...at times it veers dangerously close to being just another solipsistic horror show, another magic trick in which absolution is achieved through ordinariness. " Posted Jul 4, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
83/100	"...there's an undeniable energy to this subjective, self-serving film which at times says more than it means to about this male-dominated culture." Posted Jul 4, 2008	Bra Boys (2008)	60%
91/100	"It may well be the best science fiction film in ages, but the movie doesn't need any hyperbolic assertions to draw an audience.Or, alas, to sell its action figures." Posted Jul 4, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
83/100	"There are lots of interesting ideas and some fine work on display, but it never gels into a fully satisfying movie experience. Like its titular super-anti-hero, it only works sometimes." Posted Jul 4, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
85/100	"You might look at this movie and see a lot of talent in service to low humor. But chances are, you'll be laughing too hard to notice." Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
83/100	"... slight and sweet as a meringue" Posted Jun 13, 2008	Priceless (2008)	83%
84/100	"... might be viewed as a symptom of a Hollywood system in which women of a certain age are devalued and ignored." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
87/100	"...an uneven film, but a special one that earns its ahs." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
80/100	"Zohan may have an Apatow label, but it's got Sandler guts." Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
76/100	"... a gay camp parody of the way fabulous heterosexual women court affection" Posted Jun 6, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
78/100	"... bored me to the point that I really wanted to get up and leave the theater." Posted May 30, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
87/100	"...he first hour of the film is as successful as anything I've ever seen or read at conveying how the world looks to the drugged." Posted May 28, 2008	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)	48%
N/A	"ON FILM: In The Visitor, Jenkins steps out of shadows" Posted May 23, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
91/100	"...a literate and low-key character study of an ordinary man in depressingly average straits." Posted May 23, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
82/100	"... dreamy, woozy, elliptical and gorgeously infused with orange-red light and smeary Matisse blues. It's visually beautiful and its open-ended narrative is loose and suggestive" Posted May 16, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
76/100	"... not so much a bad movie as an infuriating one, a pretty empty thing that wants desperately to be loved for its deep thoughts." Posted May 9, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
91/100	"...all the more effective for its lack of hysteria. It isn't a finger-pointing song so much as a lament for the death of character - the quality that permits us to follow our principles despite our fears." Posted May 9, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
88/100	" ...a mash-up of Mamet's familiar stylized stories of victims and con men with a conventional sports underdog movie set in the relatively novel world of mixed martial arts fighting" Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
88/100	"Secrecy might have had a different kind of resonance, for I grew up with the understanding that there is much that is not my place to know. Some questions are not to be asked." Posted May 8, 2008	Secrecy (2008)	n/a
90/100	"...a machine with a human heart, a gleaming vehicle of transport." Posted May 2, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
90/100	"... an honest effort to sound painful human depths." Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
90/100	"There is brutality in Snow Angels, but little bitterness. Like sunlight on ice, its painful beauty glints and stabs the eyes." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
71/100	"...it is mildly entertaining to see Pacino in a role where he has obviously been encouraged to turn it up, to become a wild-eyed, roaring self-parody" Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
74/100	" Flawless isn't impossibly joyless, but it's a lot less fun than it ought to be..." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Flawless (2007)	59%
85/100	"At times the movie approaches a purely cinematic form as the simple narrative hitches and winds around itself and the soundtrack... hums along" Posted Apr 11, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
90/100	"...there's hardly a moment in this delightful movie that doesn't ring with authentic human feeling." Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
77/100	"... neither particularly fantastic nor adventurous." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	49%
91/100	"...the best sports movie ever." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Bull Durham (1988)	100%
91/100	"...a stark bleak testimony to friendship and the indomitability of the human spirit. " Posted Mar 28, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
77/100	"... a tone deaf movie, filled with obvious, overly expository dialogue and sometimes patronizing symbols. " Posted Mar 21, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	68%
88/100	"*...not a sequel to City of God, although it sometimes feels like a junior-varsity version of the older movie." Posted Mar 14, 2008*	City of Men (2008)	76%
N/A	"ON FILM: Amy Adams beams with radiant charm" Posted Mar 7, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	78%
84/100	"a reasonably benign picture of Carter begins to develop - he's more likable for his moments of pettiness and pique." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
88/100	"Minor and adult, with a bass note of ruefulness underpinning its frothy champagne nose" Posted Mar 7, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	78%
N/A	"CHAT: Ferrell drives, he skates, he scores" Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
79/100	"Will Ferrell fans probably couldn't care less that Semi-Pro fails to take full advantage of an extraordinarily rich premise." Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
78/100	"...a slightly steamy, highly romanticized period melodrama with real movie stars and a commensurate costume budget." Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
69/100	"...counts on its audience not thinking about what they're seeing, but instead being mesmerized by flash and boom ...This is a movie to make you angry, but not with the straw evildoers it puts on screen." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
N/A	"ON FILM: Critics' views can change, and often do" Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
92/100	" Beatty's slo-mo rolling across the gravel, a muzzle flashing in his hand, is more real to us than Clyde slumped behind the wheel, dead before he realized he was ambushed" Posted Feb 15, 2008	Bonnie and Clyde (1967)	93%
77/100	"...this isn't Thomas Wolfe, but the cycle of rejection and reconciliation does feel a little like a gloss on You Can't Go Home Again" Posted Feb 8, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
91/100	"... a strong movie, with extraordinary visual power and the unsettling ambiguity of genuine art." Posted Jan 25, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
77/100	"*...plagued by uneven writing and acting ... but The Genius Club* isn't a proselytizing tract or a preachment to the choir. It's an honest to gosh real movie.*" Posted Jan 18, 2008*	The Genius Club (2006)	17%
90/100	"...bitter and heartbreaking, an unsentimental examination of human needfulness that allows for traces of grace amid the ashes." Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Savages (2007)	91%
91/100	"...a film about a stranded man that bustles with vigorous energy, an exploration of the oceans inside human consciousness." Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
