	"Suffers from, if anything, a lack of pure confidence in the story, the actors or the audience." -- Washington Post Posted May 16, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
3.5/4	"A beautifully made film, one that possesses a troubling visual sense of spiritual corruption." -- Newsday Posted May 15, 2008	My Father, My Lord (2006)	87%
2/4	"Prince Caspian has the same problems as its predecessor: a C.S. Lewis story line rendered anemic, and a cast of sweet but unengaging principals." -- Newsday Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
	"Terra isn't sugar-coated -- the humans are hardly paragons of virtue, but neither are the Terrareans. And the story's resolution won't make Terra the feel-good cartoon of 2008, although it is a work of art." -- Variety Posted May 12, 2008	Terra (2008)	n/a
	"Despite the occasional detour into mawkishness, "A Previous Engagement" nicely balances unutterable truths about marriage and love with the comedy that is human interaction and the unending drama that is man and women, repulsion and attraction." -- Variety Posted May 12, 2008	A Previous Engagement (2008)	35%
2.5/4	"What Happens in Vegas contains enough unbridled silliness to salvage its lowbrow high concept." -- Newsday Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	29%
3/4	"The film is well-acted, a broad colonial allegory, and again, visually gorgeous." -- Newsday Posted May 9, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	38%
	"If it manages not to lose its assets while dipping its toe into murkier issues -- becoming, say, a brow-knitting thumb-sucker -- then it's really a work of art; such is Guest of Cindy Sherman." -- Variety Posted May 5, 2008	Guest of Cindy Sherman (2008)	n/a
No Rating	"What auds will find, however, is the same kind of pugnacious self-celebration that affects many nonfiction films about relatively obscure subjects -- relentless, stentorian bombast about how important it is. Which only serves to make one think, maybe not." -- Variety Posted Apr 29, 2008	SqueezeBox! (2008)	n/a
	"Deal is perhaps too briskly paced: The narrative moves along a bit too fleetingly for any genuine character development." -- Variety Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deal (2008)	0%
2/4	"*What may be the first real outsourcing comedy, Baby Mama* is like a pacifier: floppy, nourishment-free and may even keep your teeth from growing in straight.*" -- Newsday* Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
3/4	"The atmosphere created by director H.S. Miller is gothic, tortured, stylized yet tinged with a classicist's sense of composition, symmetry and, yes, perspective." -- Newsday Posted Apr 18, 2008	Anamorph (2008)	27%
	"A work of art on the order of a poem by Yeats or a painting by Rothko." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	80%
2.5/4	"Kunis is not just Peter's savior, but the saving grace of a comedy that is really a series of sketches, a few of which sparkle, and most of which you'll soon forget." -- Newsday Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
	"Obvious, plodding, cloying and politically innocuous." -- Variety Posted Apr 16, 2008	Home of the Brave (2006)	23%
	"Just showing us what ex-sitcom stars and Bavarian directors do in their spare time isn't quite enough to justify The Grand, which does for poker what Best in Show did for dogs while completely avoiding any jokes about poker-playing canines." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Grand ()	42%
	"The director has created a not-to-miss gem for the discriminating viewer." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 10, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	94%
2/4	"It concludes in a way that will have you asking whether the ending was misguided, or maybe it was just the rest of the movie." -- Newsday Posted Apr 10, 2008	Dark Matter (2008)	34%
	"Architecturally sound, emotionally ravaging." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 3, 2008	Body of War (2008)	72%
	"There's a flatness about the whole enterprise -- like drinking champagne, but from an old house slipper." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
2.5/4	"*While S&D101* is not quite [Heathers], it's a return to something closer to the caustic wit of which [Daniel Waters] is capable.*" -- Newsday* Posted Apr 3, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	26%
3/4	"It may not be what you expect. But with Wong Kar-wai, it seldom is." -- Newsday Posted Apr 3, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
	"*It's a bit late in the game for Superhero Movie, which was never going to fly, and barely crawls." -- Washington Post* Posted Mar 31, 2008	Superhero Movie! (2008)	15%
3/4	"Cool School is a must for anyone interested in 20th century American art." -- Newsday Posted Mar 28, 2008	Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)	93%
	"The Year My Parents Went on Vacation seems to be about, in the end, is big-time sport as the opiate of the masses." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 27, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	84%
	"It's a remarkably entertaining movie, thanks in part to a first-rate cast and a director who knows you can't make a point without calling everyone to attention." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 27, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"*Whimsy and the macabre are the operating systems in Just Add Water, and they're not always complementary." -- Variety* Posted Mar 27, 2008	Just Add Water (2008)	n/a
	"*What, after all, is Snow Angels? It feels like a comedy at first and is often blackly comedic, but it also reflects a universe in which each human spins alone." -- Washington Post* Posted Mar 20, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	68%
4/4	"*Although a first-rate investigative documentary on its own, Andrei Nekrasov's Poisoned by Polonium* also serves as a sequel to 2004's Disbelief.*" -- Newsday* Posted Mar 20, 2008	Poisoned by Polonium: The Litvinenko File (2008)	50%
	"The human body can't do or withstand the things this movie claims it can, and one can only hope that pic's probable success doesn't trigger a dramatic rise in schoolyard body-slams, arm locks and chokeholds." -- Variety Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	"In The Witnesses, [director] Techine levels his gaze on the '80s, an era of seeming innocence, perhaps license, and one in which biological freedom has led to a loose, even sloppily knit fabric of humanity." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 13, 2008	The Witnesses (2008)	85%
	"While the movie's star -- and ruler, and ship's captain, and grand poobah -- is Haneke himself, his actors are sublime." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 13, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	49%
	"No elevating moments, but a few of pure mirth: "In my world," says one of the film's furry woodland creatures, "everybody's a pony, they eat rainbows and poop butterflies ... " Now that would be something to see." -- Variety Posted Mar 10, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	"Simply an ingenious way of constructing a good film out of virtually nothing." -- Variety Posted Mar 7, 2008	Last Stop For Paul (2008)	70%
	"*Not that we expected much, when all is said and done. But College Road Trip* ran out of ideas just after they came up with the title and had the inevitable meeting.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Mar 6, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
	"Fighting for Life is briskly paced, and there's often a palpable, appropriate sense of disorientation parlayed through the roaming p.o.v." -- Variety Posted Mar 6, 2008	Fighting for Life (2008)	87%
3.5/4	"*There are enough good stories for three movies in Lucy Walker's Blindsight, an exhilarating trip with six blind Tibetan teenagers as they scale one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas." -- Newsday* Posted Mar 6, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	100%
	"Anyone willing to tolerate the tortured premise of the story will be paid off handsomely by several winning performances and a moral that makes most of the absurdity worthwhile." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	53%
	"City of Men tells a multilayered story coherently, with propulsive action and a naturalistic nod to the fact that so much of the world is a violent place." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 28, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
	"A worldly, knowing look at adult affairs." -- Variety Posted Feb 28, 2008	A Good Day to be Black and Sexy (2008)	n/a
	"One can only hope that Witless Protection is targeted at a vanishing species of American Neanderthal. In the meantime, perhaps Larry and his accomplices at Lionsgate could take some sensitivity traning." -- Variety Posted Feb 25, 2008	Witless Protection (2008)	0%
	"*What The Cool School* does so well, through its color accents and black-and-white photography...is impart a sense of discovery.*" -- Variety* Posted Feb 22, 2008	Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)	93%
	"*The question regarding Vantage Point* is how this thriller with the Groundhog Day fixation was allowed to meander out of Columbia Pictures so overloaded with bad acting.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Feb 21, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
	"In a movie about perception, misperception and the ramifications of misunderstanding, it's a bit ironic that the directors can't get out of one another's way." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 21, 2008	The Signal (2007)	55%
	"*Releasing a movie on Valentine's Day can mean only one thing and, yes, Definitely, Maybe* has it in big fragrant bouquets. Love, heartache and dollops of schmaltz.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Feb 14, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
	"There are moments of performing brilliance in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days, 30 Nights -- Hollywood to the Heartland; there is enough intimacy with the characters that we care about what happens." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 8, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	56%
	"*That two of the three scribes responsible for Fool's Gold* have previously specialized in horror makes perfect sense.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Feb 7, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
2/4	"*Ultimately, The Hottie & the Nottie* is no worse in many ways than a lot of teen-centric comedies, which generally appeal to their audience through cruelty and vulgarity.*" -- Newsday* Posted Feb 7, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	"Aspires to so much it ends up being less than the sum of its parts." -- Variety Posted Feb 5, 2008	Incendiary (2008)	n/a
	"A courageous scab-ripper of a tale about slavery, white privilege and original sin." -- Variety Posted Feb 1, 2008	Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North (2008)	n/a
