5/5
 
"In the annals of noir Sci-Fi, by any measure, this is a Classic of cinematic invention." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Dark City (1998)75%
/
4/5
 
"Hunt's adoption of a quiet, earthy tone is true to the pace and coldness of life, imparting a laudable absence of driveling sentiment that would undoubtedly have taken over in the hands of a lesser storyteller." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
Frozen River (2008)86%
/
4.5/5
 
"Batman lives to absorb blame in order to save the worthy, and soldier (or speedbike) on." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 20, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
3.5/5
 
"Come to be swept into a warm surround of stage-seasoned music, choreography and talents of the two primary leads, Streep and Seyfried. Okay, so it's slightly overabundant and dizzying." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
2/5
 
"likely to hit the mark of appreciation mostly with Japanese historians, government censors, and bookish observers. Boys looking for more will be grossed out by the dry presentation. Geisha, geisha, geisha!" -- Filmcritic.com
Posted Jul 15, 2008
 
Hannari: Geisha Modern (2008)0%
/
2/5
 
"Suffering from a diminished level of interest, do we know how to live up to a title, or what?" -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 15, 2008
 
Diminished Capacity (2008)28%
/
1/5
 
"The only thing worse than the acting is the re-acting." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 15, 2008
 
College Road Trip (2008)14%
/
4/5
 
"Not just if you're a horror fan but also if you enjoy a well fashioned, slimy yarn to get wrapped up in." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 14, 2008
 
The Ruins (2008)47%
/
4/5
 
"Slave to love... and pride... and obsession. And, Argento!" -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
The Last Mistress (2008)76%
/
2.5/5
 
"A dance romance with attitude that will fall short if you're expecting fulfillment in the story department." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 9, 2008
 
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)25%
/
4/5
 
"Inconceivable in any incarnation other than Ron Perlman whose size, head shape, bluster and irrepressible grumpiness endear him to us." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 9, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%
/
3/5
 
"Despite considerable dramatic interest, Morelli's loose, lengthy structure makes it a labor to hang in with." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 5, 2008
 
City of Men (2008)76%
/
3/5
 
"This unromantic comedy is something less than a sure bet. For some reason, you get the impression that it doesn't live up to the promise of its premise." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
Finding Amanda (2008)38%
/
5/5
 
"Akin has the audacity and skill to create two characters who do not meet within the scope of the film but whom we know are fated for one another as surely as a trout and a stream." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
3/5
 
"Cutes-E, but not enough gravit-E." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 30, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%

4/5
 
"Bekmambetov wastes no opportunity to arouse his audience." -- Cinema Signals

Wanted (2008)72%
/
4/5
 
"There's enough good stuff to justify action fan attendance." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 24, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
4/5
 
"A "rabbit-out-of-the-hat" invention that's so cool and charming they couldn't blast you out of your seat. Magic. Genius." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 23, 2008
 
Kabluey (2008)86%
/
2.5/5
 
"This major studio release asks the question, how long can you survive on past glories? Shame on Shyamalan." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 22, 2008
 
The Happening (2008)19%
/
2/5
 
"A flow of charges, countercharges, theories, suspicions and political positioning does not a revelation make. This expose' isn't ready for prime time." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 21, 2008
 
Poisoned by Polonium: The Litvinenko File (2008)50%
/
3/5
 
"We've been in this neighborhood before--just not with Peck and Thirlby and an amped up secondary character." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)63%
/
4/5
 
"Smart's enthusiasm and core goodness holds an appeal no superb assassinatrix can ignore. With that, the mission to accomplish hilarity at the expense of action drama pays off." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 18, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%
/
4/5
 
"If the plot had as much muscle as the title character it would be a different story." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 12, 2008
 
The Incredible Hulk (2008)67%
/
3.5/5
 
"Surefire material to pluck the heartstrings and for thesentimentally inclined, but..." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
The Visitor (2008)92%
/
4.5/5
 
"For action fans it's precious metal with a pedigree." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 1, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
4.5/5
 
"An ingenious puzzle driven by the need to recover the central emotional connection of one's life. The author and the auteur captivate the mind with a firm grip on that theme." -- Cinema Signals
Posted Jun 1, 2008
 
Tell No One (2008)92%
/
2/5
 
"In "Funny Games," two blond boys terrorize a couple for similarly inexplicable but clearly sociopathic reasons. So, gee, one wonders where Bertino conceived his idea." -- Cinema Signals
Posted May 28, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)41%
/
2/5
 
"By mid way, you wish the jumper were you. Teleporting yourself to the outer lobby would be far enough." -- Cinema Signals
Posted May 24, 2008
 
Jumper (2008)16%
/
2/5
 
"fails to light up the candles, let alone create fireworks." -- Filmcritic.com
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Mendy - A Question of Faith (2006)75%
/
3.5/5
 
"Makes the case that there's more than basket weaving and freeway driving going on in the seedbed of originality we know as the Great Basin of L.A." -- Cinema Signals
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)95%
/
3.5/5
 
"Why one should see this film is the chance to see John Adams in action." -- Cinema Signals
Posted May 17, 2008
 
Wonders Are Many: The Making of Doctor Atomic (2008)83%
/
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)66%
/
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)42%
/
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)95%
/
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)26%
/
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)36%
/
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)33%
/
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)63%
/
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 (2007)79%
/
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)36%
/
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)89%
/
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 ()39%
/
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%
