2/4	Click here to read article Posted Jul 24, 2008	Bra Boys (2008)	60%
3/4	"*The talented fantasy filmmaker and heir to the Lord of the Rings* throne gets the tone right throughout Hellboy 2, and the hip retro charm alone is enough to merit recommendation.*" Posted Jul 11, 2008*	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
2/4	"Brick Lane has beautiful scenery and some enjoyable moments but leaves the viewer feeling the need to find the book to get the rest of the story." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
3/4	"*There are too many unanswered questions and a suspicious forced happy ending, but Surfwise* is still a fascinatingly voyeuristic and emotionally powerful movie.*" Posted Jun 13, 2008*	Surfwise (2008)	100%
2/4	"The strangely paced drama/comedy never finds much of a groove. Elements of conventional madcap comedy butt against more indie-ready scenes of relationship dysfunction, and the end result is more frustrating than interesting." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
4/4	"Morning zoo radio DJs can rejoice: You'll be mining quotes from this movie for the next several decades." Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
2/4	"If this movie had been made by an unknown young director, a lot of critics would still be panning the movie for its inconsistencies -- but many others would be praising his courage." Posted May 30, 2008	Postal (2008)	9%
3/4	"*An achingly beautiful movie and a triumph of location scouting, with more cosmopolitan spectacle than the past three Indiana Jones* and James Bond movies combined.*" Posted May 30, 2008*	The Fall (2008)	53%
2/4	"While people looking to get away from the big explosions and broad comedy that accompany most summer movies will appreciate the effort, this seems like the kind of thing you should be getting for free on TV." Posted May 9, 2008	The Favor (2008)	39%
1/4	"*Considering that the title of the movie was conceived by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, it's not a huge surprise that What Happens in Vegas* is stocked with product placement.*" Posted May 9, 2008*	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
1/4	"[Spurlock's] work here leans closer to Tyra Banks wearing her fat suit than anything directed by Errol Morris or even Michael Moore." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
2.5/4	"*It's difficult to resist, especially if you're a 12-year-old boy whose parents won't let you rent Once Upon a Time in China* or the Kill Bill movies.*" Posted Apr 18, 2008*	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
1/4	"*There are a few laughs and some touching moments, but nothing you couldn't get by watching episodes of Good Times* and Little House on the Prairie back to back.*" Posted Mar 24, 2008*	Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)	31%
3/4	"Yen has developed a recent passion for mixed martial arts, and his more traditional punches and flying kicks are supplemented by some close-quarters Muay Thai kicks and even some jujitsu submission holds. Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will be happy." Posted Mar 14, 2008	Flash Point (2008)	42%
2/4	"Some of the footage is entertaining. Too much of it is confusing, repetitive or unremarkable." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	74%
1/4	"While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least it's fun to think of all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an accurate historical record and get F's on their next pop quiz." Posted Mar 6, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
2/4	"It's not clear what we're supposed to take away from the film." Posted Feb 29, 2008	Romulus, My Father (2008)	44%
2/4	"You will definitely appreciate this film's ambition, if not its execution." Posted Feb 22, 2008	The Signal (2007)	55%
3/4	"It's one of the least scary films that [Romero's] made -- but still entertaining, and very, very gory." Posted Feb 15, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
3/4	"It's a funny comedy, and sometimes an even better drama." Posted Feb 8, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
1/4	"The grating presence of Longoria Parker will be enough to ruin the movie for many, but she's just one of many shortcomings in this romantic comedy, which seriously lacks both romance and comedy." Posted Feb 1, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	14%
4/5	"*Extremely funny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any Saw* or Hostel movie.*" Posted Jan 25, 2008*	Teeth (2008)	81%
3/4	"A terrific movie, filled with spectacle and a surprising amount of humor, which makes up for its lack of terror or emotional impact." Posted Jan 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
1/4	"*Ice Cube has been taking a lot of heat in recent years for abandoning his tough guy image in exchange for Hollywood stardom, and First Sunday* appears to be a compromise.*" Posted Jan 11, 2008*	First Sunday (2008)	14%
3/4	"This American history-themed action thriller doesn't get many points for realism, but it makes up ground in so many other areas that you probably won't care." Posted Dec 21, 2007	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
1/4	"The plot isn't intellectually challenging as much as it is confusing, and yet the big twist is completely telegraphed. Ritchie has created a movie that is patronizingly obvious one minute and impenetrable the next." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Revolver (2007)	16%
1/4	"*Between the occasional amusing joke and catchy musical number, this Alvin* update is a very soulless movie.*" Posted Dec 14, 2007*	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
3.5/4	"This definitive print should be the last little push that "Blade Runner" needs to complete its 25-year journey from box office failure to cult favorite to full-blown classic." Posted Nov 30, 2007	Blade Runner (1982)	91%
3/4	"The movie has plenty of payoff, especially in the exciting and nerve-wracking final hour. You can try guessing what will happen next, but you'll probably be wrong." Posted Nov 21, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	71%
2/4	"Hitman is one of the best movies ever made from a video game, which doesn't provide you with very much information. That's like declaring the best meal you've eaten at a strip club, or the best love ballad by Kenny Loggins." Posted Nov 21, 2007	Hitman (2007)	14%
3/4	"Helm gets huge bonus points for noticing everything that's annoying about modern children's films and including none of those things in his movie." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
3/4	"At 99 minutes, the documentary presents a quick but thorough lesson." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Darfur Now (2007)	69%
2/4	"Bee Movie has a few charming moments and a scene or two with legitimate hilarity, but mostly it's just mediocre." Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
1/4	"The Syriana of slasher films, so complicated and circuitous that your only hope of understanding everything is to eat lots of fish the night before and then watch each of the previous films, in order, right before you enter the theater." Posted Oct 29, 2007	Saw IV (2007)	19%
2.5/4	"Director Anton Corbijn seems determined not to let the music get in the way of the human story, and his fervor goes too far." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Control (2007)	88%
2/4	"*There's a problem when you make a film so dark that Hotel Rwanda* looks like a crowd-pleaser -- especially when the story asks filmgoers to leave their reasoning skills at home.*" Posted Oct 19, 2007*	Reservation Road (2007)	37%
3/4	"30 Days of Night is the well-paced and entertaining horror debut of Hard Candy director David Slade, who captures the coolest parts of Steve Niles' comic book series on the big screen." Posted Oct 19, 2007	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%
2/4	"*Anyone who has enjoyed laughing at the bad singers auditioning on American Idol, consider the independent film Great World of Sound* your penance.*" Posted Oct 12, 2007*	Great World of Sound (2007)	82%
2.5/4	"Who would have imagined that a biopic about Jesse James could be so boring?" Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
3/4	"There's a people-are-good feeling permeating the film, which is difficult to resist." Posted Sep 28, 2007	Feast of Love (2007)	41%
1/4	"*It's worth mentioning for the third time that this movie is much closer to Caligula* than Sleepless in Seattle.*" Posted Sep 21, 2007*	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
3/4	"The movie succeeds on sheer catchiness, and [director] Taymor piles on enough visual extravaganza to conceal the fact that there isn't much of a story." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
1/4	"It's hard to hate a movie that tries so valiantly to resurrect the career of Lee Majors. But even that noble task ultimately fails." Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
2/4	"Even if you consider a Halloween remake sacrilege, you've got to like a truck stop bathroom that's even gnarlier than the one in Trainspotting." Posted Sep 1, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
1.5/4	"There isn't enough humor in the script and not enough style in the direction by newcomer Philip G. Atwell. A few plot twists keep things interesting, but the best ones come long after anyone could possibly care." Posted Aug 27, 2007	War (2007)	14%
3.5/4	"A pretty great trip down memory lane, even if you were one of the cool kids who managed to avoid the arcade scene." Posted Aug 24, 2007	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
3/4	"Rocket Science has the makings of either a tragedy or a crowd-pleasing underdog story, but writer-director Jeffrey Blitz instead takes the movie on a different, and ultimately more rewarding, direction." Posted Aug 10, 2007	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
2.5/4	"There's something that seems almost important about this picture. The creators have harnessed everything that's good about YouTube, and translated it into a big-screen movie." Posted Aug 3, 2007	Hot Rod (2007)	39%
2/4	"Whatever gay stereotypes exist in this movie -- and they probably number in the hundreds -- the writers of the comedy are much tougher on morbidly obese people, hot women, the homeless, mailmen, unattractive women and particularly Asians." Posted Jul 19, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
3/4	"Black Sheep is never very frightening, but it's clever and fun, with a memorable amount of humor and gore. Imagine if the Monty Python folks made the killer rabbit part from Holy Grail into a full-length movie." Posted Jul 6, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
