2.5/4	"The unraveling isn't as smartly written as the setup. And because the characters beyond the parents and boys aren't as finely tuned, the film starts to lag." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	52%
3.5/4	"A story of upended love with a mystery that exerts its power till the very end." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 18, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	92%
2.5/4	"Feels like a souvenir program: something to revive the feelings you had watching the stage performance." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
4/4	"*Watching The Dark Knight* is like gazing into a mirror on a waning moon night: chilling and mesmerizing.*" -- Denver Post* Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3/4	"Fugitive Pieces delivers its own evocative poetry." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 11, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	69%
3.5/4	"There could be more, but what is here is beautifully gripping." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 11, 2008	To the Limit (2008)	67%
2.5/4	"*The PG-13 Hellboy* is fun. And it's unafraid to embrace the schmaltzy.*" -- Denver Post* Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
3.5/4	"Kit Kittredge: An American Girl is rife with feisty, generous pleasures." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3.5/4	"Since The Pursuit of Happyness, actor-producer Smith has made no secret of his desire to make movies that entertain in that big-studio way but also dig deeper. Hancock is a rousing measure of that intent." -- Denver Post Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
2/4	"A modest indie that has had success on the film-fest circuit, I'm Through With White Girls has some bumps. But the performances of leads Montgomery and Johnson have charm and energy." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 27, 2008	I'm Through With White Girls (2007)	n/a
3/4	"His intelligence may be artificial, but his heroism is anything but superficial." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2.5/4	"[Director Christopher] Zalla may have provided his characters with a overly constructed tragedy, but his eye for city life and his seeming gift with actors promises astute, generous work to come." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 20, 2008	Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)	83%
1.5/4	"When Pitka ends his bite-size lessons with 'TM,' we should understand it's not meditation but branding he's after." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
2.5/4	"By movie's end, we can imagine spending some more time with Agents 86 and 99, and liking it." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3/4	"Like Blanca and her friends, walking languidly down the street, then spontaneousy grabbing a shopping cart for a ride, Reidel plays with the rhythm of her enjoyably unhurried tale." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 13, 2008	How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)	83%
3.5/4	"By making this journey personal, a powerful vulnerability permeates the film." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 13, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
3/4	"Terrifically acted, expertly shot and painstakingly paced, Jar City investigates deeper, darker themes. And Erlendur is a reminder that homicide detectives don't save lives so much as exhume the meanings of violence." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 6, 2008	Jar City (2008)	91%
3.5/4	"The word 'Reprise' may mean recurrence, but Trier's fleet, joyously intellectual film comes at us like anything but a retread." -- Denver Post Posted Jun 6, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%
3.5/4	"*With loads of laugh lines, Kung Fu Panda* plays with the ying- yang tension of sincerity and irreverance. And it never shirks a popcorn tenet: kernels of wisdom must be tasty.*" -- Denver Post* Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
1.5/4	"*Evidently there's something even harder to pull off than Middle Eastern peace: a steady run of jokes that deserve our laughter -- if You Don't Mess With the Zohan* is an indicator.*" -- Denver Post* Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
3/4	"There were a lot of very funny moments in this film. I almost cried." -- Denver Post Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
3/4	"Standard Operating Procedure encourages us not to judge but to try to understand. Or, barring that impossibility, it prods us like the finest documentaries to watch and listen." -- Denver Post Posted May 23, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
2/4	"*Ultimately, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull* is instant artifact. It's a vessel with a great deal of pictorial images on its surface. But its contents are long gone.*" -- Denver Post* Posted May 22, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
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)	39%
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)	66%
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)	36%
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)	27%
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)	11%
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)	61%
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)	35%
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)	63%
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)	74%
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)	91%
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)	36%
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)	76%
	"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)	57%
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)	95%
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)	35%
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)	50%
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)	42%
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)	55%
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)	35%
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%
