2/4
 
"It is a flawed but intriguing film that promises better things to come from its filmmaker." -- Denver Post
Posted May 16, 2008
 
The Favor (2008)11%
/
3.5/4
 
"Like the finest fantasy epics, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian invites us into a rich realm and, at two-plus hours, holds us there for a goodly spell." -- Denver Post
Posted May 16, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)68%

2/4
 
"Sugar, not petrol, is the fuel that comes to mind watching candy-hued, visually hyperactive, narratively sputtering Speed Racer." -- Denver Post
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)34%
/
1/4
 
"Who knew the title wasn't simply clever (inviting the rejoiner 'stays in Vegas') but a dire warning of a bad movie ahead?" -- Denver Post
Posted May 9, 2008
 
What Happens in Vegas (2008)29%
/
3.5/4
 
"Directed with joyful verve and a nice pinch of cultural nerve by Jon Favreau, Iron Man reinvigorates hope in the joys of the summer movie. It is simple — and not so simple — fun." -- Denver Post
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
2/4
 
"Deception recalls the fantasies of Showtime's soft-core series Red Shoe Diaries. It's often tastefully laughable." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Deception (2008)12%
/
2.5/4
 
"The appealing Fey and nutty Poehler make sure Baby Mama dramas comes leavened with laughs." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)60%
/
3.5/4
 
"At its most illuminating, Morgan Spurlock's compelling if self-indulgent travelogue investigation Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? reminds us that a livelihood isn't just 'America's No. 1 issue' as CNN reminds us." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)36%
/
3/4
 
"A number of Forbidden Kingdom sequences deliver muscular slaptick. A fight in which Lu Yan uses Jason as one more weapon in his arsenal of defensive moves is vintage Chan." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)62%
/
3/4
 
"There's so much joy and coming-of-age angst turned into nuggets of gold that it seems uncharitable to ask, what might be missing (more onscreen appreciation for rock's goddesses and gods, perhaps.)" -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
Girls Rock! (2008)76%
/
3.5/4
 
"An exuberant study of the ways competition and collaboration can team up when it comes to the creativity of these guys." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
Planet B-Boy (2008)90%
/
2/4
 
"Street Kings has hints of Training Day and the subtle aroma of L.A. Confidential, two movies concerned with the moral ambiguity and compromised honor of L.A.'s finest." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
Street Kings (2008)33%
/
3/4
 
"A vibrant, unconventional documentary about the conspiracy trial of the so-called inciters of the riots that occurred during the 1968 Democratic National Convention." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Chicago 10 (2008)77%
/
 
"It is visually vibrant (in a wonderful on-the- cheap kind of way). But its insightful fury is undercut by thrashes of immaturity. It's engaged with culture and angry at it." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
The Living End (1992)71%
/
3/4
 
"There's more than a bit of satisfaction to be had in Shine a Light, which starts with a clever tussle of the dynamic wills of Jagger and Scorsese." -- Denver Post
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Shine a Light (2008)86%
/
3.5/4
 
"Offers audiences movie pleasures, as well as emotionally authentic challenges." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Married Life (2008)55%
/
3.5/4
 
"Bahrani deftly walks a tightrope toward insight, never falling into safety nets of judgment or unearned sentiment." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Chop Shop (2007)94%
/
2/4
 
"The film is about a group of MIT students who used a very smart card-counting system to milk the casinos. But the movie blows off the deeper thrills of its source material to make a tidier, less compelling amorality play." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
21 (2008)31%
/
3/4
 
"Anchored by deft performances from a sturdy ensemble, Stop-Loss provides proof of Peirce's sensitivity with actors as well as her interest in stories of American folk who don't often get the close-ups they should." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
2.5/4
 
"Run, Fatboy, Run isn't going to win any prizes for fresh questions. But it's just fleet enough to hold its own in the middle of the pack." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)48%
/
3.5/4
 
"All the things we hope from in a fright film with characters we recognize as very much like ourselves are toyed with." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Funny Games (2008)49%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's a relief then that writers Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio have fun with the belief that all humor doesn't have to be of the wink-nudge variety to appeal to adults in the 'plex." -- Denver Post
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)78%
/
2/4
 
"Neither Johansson nor Portman convince." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)41%
/
1.5/4
 
"Technically, it's not a foul to shoot a stupid sports comedy. In fact, it's becoming something of a routine maneuver for Will Ferrell." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Semi-Pro (2008)21%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's risky business championing an adolescent protagonist who thrives on the illicit. But the appointments Charlie holds in the men's room make an argument most can get behind." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Charlie Bartlett (2007)53%
/
3/4
 
"Vantage Point makes nice use of the heft of Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver in a story in which an assassination followed by an explosion gets revisited from eight points of view." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)37%
/
2/4
 
"Jumper skips emotional traction (or humor) in what feels like a rush to the inevitable sequel or two." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
Jumper (2008)16%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's got thrills but is not allegorically deep or daunting like the Harry Potter or Narnia flicks. It skews young." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)79%
/
3/4
 
"A brutal and at times amusing excursion." -- Denver Post

"What didn't figure into the equation was fresh writing." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Fool's Gold (2008)10%
/
2/4
 
"The movie ditches clever for crass: Mo'nique and Mike Epps, as opportunistic cousin Reggie, provide most of the downhome and dirty entendres. Less 'nique would have fixed much of what ails this movie." -- Denver Post
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)25%

"Nina's Heavenly Delights hints at better-simmered versions of similar dishes." -- Denver Post

"Few movies capture so well the fluid, fulsome response of children to their (and our) complex worlds." -- Denver Post
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Persepolis (2007)95%

"Though it may sound like it, How She Move is not just another dance-off flick." -- Denver Post
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
How She Move (2008)68%
/
2/4
 
"The film teases and unnerves for 100 minutes with scenes of cold brutality. Then in a rush to the end, it tries to make it all better, or at least make it more complicated." -- Denver Post
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
2.5/4
 
"Leaves one pondering the ways audiences abet amorality tales." -- Denver Post

"Fully visceral, visually impressive." -- Denver Post
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Cloverfield (2008)77%
/
3/4
 
"Paul Schrader directs The Walker, and the writer has a way with understatement. Like his 1992 gem Light Sleeper, this movie draws you in with its reserve." -- Denver Post
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
The Walker (2007)51%
/
3/4
 
"Watching Nicholson and Freeman on the same screen and their characters Edward and Carter embarking on a sojourn of discovery is hard to resist." -- Denver Post

The Bucket List (2007)40%
/
4/4
 
"If [Day-Lewis] does not win the Academy Award for this protean portrayal, it will be because he's won before. Or because his gift, his discipline, is so daunting it can be confounding." -- Denver Post
