4/5	"The fantasy has its delights, laughs, and harrowing moments, keeping you reminded, despite the physical realism of solid production values, that it's an extensive work of the imagination." -- Cinema Signals Posted May 13, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	68%
1/5	"Clearly, this fatiguing femme drama is Lifetime, Oxygen or straight-to-DVD grade level. To put it in theatres is a gross overreach." -- Cinema Signals Posted May 12, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	43%
3.5/5	"No one (as far as we see) died. Progress advanced. A sad, slow lament in the music ebbs away." -- Cinema Signals Posted May 11, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	89%
3/5	"Develops engagement only by the inspirational value of the historical subject--not by the artificiality of the presentation." -- Cinema Signals Posted May 9, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	n/a
3/5	"A sports-story fantasy that burns at an octane level too high to rate. So why was I nearly overcome by the fumes and the whiplash?" -- Cinema Signals Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	34%
5/5	"Favreau has turned what might have been just another comic strip formulation into a completely engaging amalgam of storytelling, romance, performance, acrobatics and organically motivated effects." -- Cinema Signals Posted May 5, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
4/5	"Doesn't add up to a perfect film, but Mamet's taste for character integrity keeps you cheering for the moral figure who leads us to redemption, despite the coincidences and the cliche'-avoidance maneuvers that get him there." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 27, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
2/5	"Written, directed, acted-in and produced by Parise, she's proven her creds as a one-woman employment agent. But, by now, she should be picking up that directing is a weak spot." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 26, 2008	Jack and Jill vs. the World (2008)	14%
2.5/5	"Here lies hoax and charlatanism, but if Burgess' discovery turns into a proven revelation, his documentary should turn into a runaway hit and my rating turns Fresh!" -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 23, 2008	Bloodline (2008)	25%
3.5/5	"A fascinatingly wrought experimental film that holds you in awe at what Reeves and his production crew was able to pull off, inspiring more appreciation than a gut level sense of being there." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 21, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
4.5/5	"a genuine tour de force of inventive expression" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Apr 19, 2008	Four Minutes (2007)	76%
4/5	"Amalric's performance is selfless and accomplished." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 19, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
4/5	"What gives this chop-socky journey high marks is its conceptual consistency and honesty toward the premise, elements that are so often substituted in lesser versions of the formula by tasteless exaggeration." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
2.5/5	"For all its virtues as a coming-of-age study, it's too slow, too single dimensional to create much of a stir beyond arthouse and hothouse interest. The close-ups of Acquart's classic beauty are well worth the screen time, however." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 14, 2008	Water Lilies (2008)	n/a
2/5	"Reeves gives us very little to work with as a hero to cheer on or to give much of a damn about." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 14, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
2/5	"*You don't wind up thinking much of any of these characters. Sympathy is lost* somewhere around the time the frantic camera style makes you dizzy.*" -- Cinema Signals* Posted Apr 12, 2008	Lost in Beijing (2008)	47%
3.5/5	"No question, it's a humorless downer, but also an impressive character study, with depth proportionate to the tragic nature of its theme." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 9, 2008	Shotgun Stories (2007)	87%
2.5/5	"One-eyed Jack Faro's chances aren't assured but low odds amusement is yours for the buy-in. Satire has been dealt better hands with less bluff." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 6, 2008	The Grand ()	42%
3.5/5	"The amusement level may not make for a sold out arena nor raise you to your feet in excitement but it has its moments of mirth and pizazz." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 2, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
2/5	"There are a few sketchy laughs along the way but they never threaten the piece with such post-teen concerns as wit." -- Cinema Signals Posted Apr 1, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	26%
3/4	"One might also take some comfort in the impression it makes that prevailing aims and ambitions are along personal improvement lines rather than political-militaristic ones." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 31, 2008	Young & Restless in China (2008)	73%
3/5	"Despite flaws, it raises the question of conducting a long war with a politically necessitated all-volunteer force, something future leaders may look back on as a bitter lesson learned." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 30, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
3/5	"It has an arc of character development that ultimately makes the film something of an enjoyment but it's not smart enough to be called stimulating." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 29, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
3/5	"Involvement is less than it might have been as sympathy gets nicked away by the effort to resolve the associations and meanings. The search for the "ah hah!" moment is exhausting." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 27, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
2/5	"Not likely to pick up new fans for its usual adulation of indecency, but existing ones will rate it "super-awesome."" -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 24, 2008	South Park - The Imaginationland Trilogy (2007)	n/a
3.5/5	"Loose moral messages and flaws in the plot don't add up to screenwriting and directing that draw an ace, but beating the house with intellect will always be a winning hand." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 21, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
4/5	"If you're watching for perfectly matched action you're not into the mystery and you probably aren't going to be very sympathetic to the effort involved." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 17, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
4/4	Click here to read article -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 17, 2008	Flawless (1999)	38%
4/5	"As far as what the filmmakers constructed, the spirit of the title term is close enough to forgive blemishes that don't really spoil the fun." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 16, 2008	Flawless (2007)	62%
3/5	"Bee-boundaries are so last-year and fans are likely to understand it in Seinfeldian-hysterical terms. To the rest of us it's an overstretched been-there, seen-that concept." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 12, 2008	Bee Movie (2007)	53%
3/5	"We come to realize the trip isn't taking us very far and the engine of sympathy is running on vapor." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 11, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	16%
4.5/5	"A gripping tale that peaks and loses its grip." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 5, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	49%
3/5	"If there were as many great ideas in the story as there are in the art and CGI special effects departments, this fantasy tale of wonder might have been a hit." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 5, 2008	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
2.5/5	"Okay for forgiving romance fans, and a maybe-see for the rest of us." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 4, 2008	Dan in Real Life (2007)	64%
2.5/5	"Did you ever want to like a movie and wish it were better so that you could? On the other hand, you could say that any sighting of Asia Argento showing off her thighs can't be all bad." -- Cinema Signals Posted Mar 3, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
3.5/5	"*This farcical quest for happiness goes down like a rich souffle' with about as much to think about afterward, once Miss Pettigrew's Day* is over.*" -- Cinema Signals* Posted Mar 2, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
3/5	"a contender that doesn't quite take a championship belt." -- Filmcritic.com Posted Feb 29, 2008	Resurrecting the Champ (2007)	61%
4/5	"The corrupting effect of absolute power and the disruptive effect of fine cleavage." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
3/5	"A film that's not shy about generating emotional pain and a great sadness, in part by bringing instability to the blowing point." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 27, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	68%
4/5	"There's a certain primitive simplicity to it, the editing is awkward in spots, and it derives from a game, but I flat-out enjoyed it." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 20, 2008	Hitman (2007)	15%
3/5	"There's nothing subtle about the lesson in human-to-human detente in a sea of hostility. It's a nice try, if a bit over-rated." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 19, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
4/5	"First-person memories add vividness to American history, not the least parts of which were the Jewish component of the U.S. military in World War II and the Jews' walking the walk in support of black America's Civil Rights struggle." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 16, 2008	The Jewish Americans (2007)	n/a
3/5	"While the film's mission to enrapture teenage boys (and other fans of grand adventure) is accomplished, I'd have to suggest to Mr. Zemeckis that it may be time to abandon this form of animation." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 16, 2008	Beowulf (2007)	70%
3.5/5	"Harrowing in an immediate sense but gut-level involvement is elusive." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 12, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	86%
1.5/5	"Romero sticks to his theme in its simplest formulation, which is an endless stream of zombie enounters, escapes, losses, and bickering about what to do. What part haven't you seen before?" -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 8, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
3/5	"It's going to be dragged through the critical mud because it's not "Atonement."" -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 6, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
3/5	"Proves compelling enough to give meaning to the whole as a successful experiment and stylization, if predictable and sentimental." -- Cinema Signals Posted Feb 4, 2008	Across the Universe (2007)	53%
4/5	"Schwimmer and Pegg have scored a win--largely due to tasteful choices in the subplotting and providing such a rich ensemble to tickle the shenanigans to a higher level." -- Cinema Signals Posted Jan 31, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
2/5	"Excuse me while I ponder the earth-shaking question of how good the acting wing of Hilton's edifice of talents are." -- Cinema Signals Posted Jan 29, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
4/5	"You couldn't be faulted if you thought "Jewish Boxer" might be an oxymoron, but Hutt's devoted documentary introduces us to one powerhouse of an example." -- Cinema Signals Posted Jan 28, 2008	Orthodox Stance (2008)	47%
