2/5	"*Take out all the elements of The Big Chill* that made you like that film and keep the ones that annoyed you and you've got The Wedding Weekend.*" Posted May 15, 2008*	Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace (2007)	24%
3.5/5	"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian offers kids and adults an entertaining escape into the world of C.S. Lewis' books." Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
2/5	"What Happens in Vegas . . . should have stayed in Vegas. Or in New York, where most of this predictable, uninspired film takes place. Or in Hollywood, where such lamebrained ideas are hatched." Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	29%
3.5/5	"Before it sort of punches itself out in the final few minutes, it's a surprisingly compelling story about honor and betrayal." Posted May 8, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
4.5/5	"*All part of growing up, an experience Son of Rambow* portrays with genuine insight.*" Posted May 8, 2008*	Son of Rambow (2008)	77%
3/5	"*Ultimately, Speed Racer* comes down to the lesson your parents taught you: Despite the flash, looks aren't everything.*" Posted May 8, 2008*	Speed Racer (2008)	34%
4/5	"The movie rises and falls on the strength of Downey, and it rises pretty high." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
2.5/5	"How you feel about Made of Honor depends on how you feel about Dempsey. If you like Grey's Dr. McDreamy, you'll like Tom and the movie. If not? There are plenty of other nondescript romantic comedies out there from which to choose." Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
2/5	"Deception is kind of like the Oscars. Both plod lamely at the beginning, milking inane dialogue, before trying to squeeze far too much into the last little bit." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
4/5	"The humor outweighs the holes in the story, Fey and Poehler look to be a comedy team built to last -- let's hope so -- and those who find Judd Apatow's comedies lacking in decent female roles have found their film." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
	"Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hilarious movie, a brilliant deconstruction of the romantic comedy, a film that, assuming you have the appropriate sense of humor, will make you laugh out loud again and again." Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
	"By the time the film moves toward its conclusion and the gross-out factor really starts to rise, any semblance of even an exploitation story has fallen away like so many lopped-off limbs." Posted Apr 17, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	36%
4/5	"First-time director Noam Murro successfully creates a world you want to spend time in, even if it's a world marred by self-absorption and missed opportunities." Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
2.5/5	"*James Ellroy wrote the script; he also wrote the novel on which L.A. Confidential* was based. If you're hoping for a similar intelligence, you're out of luck.*" Posted Apr 10, 2008*	Street Kings (2008)	33%
3/5	"Although the film is expertly made it offers almost nothing new for fans of the Stones, or of Scorsese." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
	"Nim's Island is an old-fashioned kids' movie. Parents might find flaws, but the 12-and-younger set will find characters and a movie worth rooting for." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
	"*Yes, it's painful, but Snow Angels* is so full of rich performances and characterizations that even gunshots can't kill its power.*" Posted Apr 3, 2008*	Snow Angels (2008)	68%
	"It's the equivalent of a busted play, with the players scrambling in different directions, making any kind of forward progress nearly impossible." Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
3/5	"Stop-Loss goes in too many directions at once, and most of those directions are predictable." Posted Mar 27, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
3.5/5	"It may be the kind of film that will make you smile more than laugh, but you'll smile a lot. And although it practically forces you to root for its hero, you won't mind a bit because the hero is played by Simon Pegg." Posted Mar 27, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
2.5/5	"Meet the Browns, the latest Tyler Perry film, has a good heart. But it's a mess of a movie." Posted Mar 24, 2008	Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)	30%
3/5	"Despite sharing a producer in comedy-genius-of-the-moment Judd Apatow, a co-writer in Seth Rogen and somewhat similar territory, Drillbit Taylor doesn't measure up to the raunchy classic that gave the world McLovin." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
4.5/5	"Blindsight is hugely affecting, the rare experience that will make those who watch it thankful for what they have, yet make them realize that they aren't nearly thankful enough." Posted Mar 20, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	100%
4.5/5	"Taxi to the Dark Side is a stunning indictment of torture as policy, a brilliant documentary whose arguments are so well-supported and reasonably made that you can't ignore them." Posted Mar 20, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
3.5/5	"The Hammer isn't going to sneak past Raging Bull in the boxing-movie pantheon (or even Rocky, for that matter). But like its star, it is an underdog you can root for." Posted Mar 20, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	74%
3.5/5	"An enjoyable story of hope and resilience, buoyed by the performances of Kate del Castillo as Rosario, the mom, and Adrian Alonso as Carlitos, her son." Posted Mar 20, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	74%
3/5	"*Relentlessly downbeat, with a glimmer of a payoff in the last couple of scenes, Sleepwalking* is a film that has 'indie' written all over it -- for better and for worse.*" Posted Mar 13, 2008*	Sleepwalking (2008)	16%
2.5/5	"The funny bits are kind of funny. But the dramatic developments, in particular the one that drives the bulk of the story, are far less successful." Posted Mar 13, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	30%
4/5	"It's not a fun ride, but Funny Games forces us -- almost against our will -- to examine its characterization of violence and our response to it." Posted Mar 13, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	49%
3/5	"*Although the voice talent is good and the animation amazing, Horton Hears a Who!* has never needed more than Geisel's simple words and drawings to get its points across, brilliantly.*" Posted Mar 13, 2008*	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
4/5	"Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day isn't going to change your life. But it will make it a lot more enjoyable for a couple of hours." Posted Mar 6, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
4/5	"It gets right the twists, the humor, the tension, the sexiness and, yes, the violence of a really fun, taut British thriller." Posted Mar 6, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	77%
2/5	"*In Bonneville, a talented cast is wasted, falling victim to a tired, cliche-ridden story." Posted Feb 28, 2008*	Bonneville (2006)	43%
3.5/5	"*There is an underlying sweetness to Penelope, a root-for-her vibe that's only slightly diluted by the predictable story." Posted Feb 28, 2008*	Penelope (2008)	53%
3.5/5	"It probably shouldn't be the way in which high-school kids learn about Henry VIII and his court, but it's a fun movie." Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
4/5	"City of Men is outstanding in its own right, a moving story of the bleak lives of those living in the favelas, or slums, slaves to the drug-gang violence there, so immune to the constant danger that it simply becomes part of their lives." Posted Feb 28, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
2.5/5	"Will Ferrell's latest comedy splits time between being a goofy basketball movie and . . . a whole bunch of other stuff, none of it particularly interesting." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
3/5	"It overdoes the quirkiness and underdoes the character development, but, in the end, it's salvaged by a remarkable performance by Robert Downey Jr., who hardly ever gives any other kind." Posted Feb 21, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	53%
3/5	"*The problem with Vantage Point, or at least one problem, is that it depends too much on coincidence. The film relies on things breaking a certain way for nearly every plot advancement." Posted Feb 21, 2008*	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
2.5/5	"Perhaps Gondry realized the sum wasn't going to be greater than its parts and just left it at this: two halves, one more intriguing than the other, that don't add up to a coherent whole." Posted Feb 21, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	65%
3.5/5	"Diary of the Dead works much better as a horror film than as social commentary. Which is no shortcoming - a good scare is a good scare, no matter what the medium in which it's delivered." Posted Feb 15, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
5/6	"The dialogue is front and center, in spite of the picturesque setting and all the goings-on, and it's the best thing about the film." Posted Feb 15, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
3/5	"The Spiderwick Chronicles, while not without its virtues (including a genuinely sweet ending), goes too far on the frightening front, especially for a young audience." Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
2.5/5	"Jumper strains credulity, even for a fantasy-action film; its lead character isn't particularly likable; and Samuel L. Jackson sports funny hair." Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
4/5	"Definitely, Maybe is definitely a cut above your standard-issue genre fare, maybe way above." Posted Feb 13, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
3.5/5	"It's Langella's performance that anchors the film." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
3/5	"Roscoe Jenkins works best when it aims lowest." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	25%
	"Some movies are critic-proof -- some for the wrong reasons, some for the right ones. This one falls into the latter camp." Posted Jan 31, 2008	Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)	75%
2.5/5	"The line is fine between cute and annoying." Posted Jan 31, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	13%
2/5	"*It's confusing. Rambo* makes you root for the wrong things.*" Posted Jan 24, 2008*	Rambo (2008)	33%
