3.5/4	" The film understandably and movingly centres itself on Penn's portrayal of a hedonist-turned-activist who discovered that in order to change his world, he had to find his voice." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Milk (2008)	93%
2.5/4	" At once sprawling and intimate, melodramatic and comic, magnificent and utterly bonkers, it bears entertaining witness to Luhrmann's love of old movies and his Down Under homeland." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Australia (2008)	52%
1.5/4	" You know a series is in trouble when it begins mocking its own premise. Frank's obsessive rules about who, what and how he transports stuff are ruthlessly violated." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Transporter 3 (2008)	37%
3/4	" *Debut writer/director Lance Hammer has rendered [Ballast] with something that can only be called radiant austerity." Posted Nov 21, 2008*	Ballast (2008)	86%
3/4	" Twilight is the Diet Coke of vampire movies, but central to the film's success is that you believe in the love between Edward and Bella." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Twilight (2008)	44%
3/4	" *Wondrous are the ways of vampires in Twilight, a tale of undead adoration where sharp teeth and cold hands are no impediment to romance." Posted Nov 21, 2008*	Twilight (2008)	44%
3/4	" Belief may be in question for much of the movie -- only for the perturbed pooch -- but fortunately, enjoyment is never a problem." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Bolt (2008)	84%
2.5/4	" There isn't much plot between the action set pieces, and precious little character development beyond Craig's and Dench's continuing evolution." Posted Nov 13, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	66%

2.5/4	" Synecdoche is fun to mull over, for a while." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	64%
3/4	" It has everything Madagascar had three years ago, but also two things the original was woefully lacking: a good yarn and genuine yuks." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	60%
3.5/4	" *The exceptional Swedish vampire film Let the Right One* In warms your heart as it chills your blood, and that's the most disturbing thing about it.*" Posted Oct 31, 2008*	Let the Right One In (2008)	98%
1.5/4	" Does anyone remember when Madonna was considered shocking?" Posted Oct 31, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	27%
3/4	" The kicks are more to the head and heart than to the body." Posted Oct 31, 2008	Ashes of Time Redux (2008)	82%
1.5/4	" You'd probably need a veteran Hollywood psychiatrist to explain Tinseltown's fascination with its own muck." Posted Oct 31, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	53%
3/4	" A less assured filmmaker would have trouble reconciling reality with magic realism, but writer/director Mehta turns kitchen-sink drama into soaring metaphor." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Heaven on Earth (2008)	67%
3/4	" Changeling reminds us that the veneer of civilization is thin and made of quicksilver." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
1.5/4	" It is certainly possible to make a transgressive movie about children in sexual jeopardy, and to do so in ways that realistically and intelligently depict the abuse while not revelling in it." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	48%
3/4	" It's a classic case of giving the people what they want." Posted Oct 24, 2008	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	67%
2/4	" There's nothing really wrong with Pride and Glory, apart from an excessive degree of brutality, but there's nothing terribly revelatory about it either." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%

2.5/4	" If current events hold, Battle in Seattle could look like prophecy as well as history." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Battle in Seattle (2008)	53%
2.5/4	" There should be some kind of law that if you're going to make an incredibly derivative, violent and vulgar teen comedy then it must also be funny." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Sex Drive (2008)	40%
2.5/4	" W. is an engaging and sometimes revealing watch. At the very least, it's a change from the mindless Bush-bashing that has become so tedious." Posted Oct 17, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
2.5/4	" Sometimes it amounts to a laugh or two." Posted Oct 10, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
2/4	" Body of Lies is more than anything a missed opportunity -- or perhaps, given its cellular phoniness, a series of missed connections." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
2.5/4	" Consider that a virtue in a movie content to teach familiar messages without overstating them." Posted Oct 10, 2008	The Express (2008)	62%
1.5/4	" It seems Weide and Pegg were determined to make good on their title How to Lose Friends& Alienate People. You can sum up their results in two words: mission accomplished." Posted Oct 3, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	38%
2.5/4	" We need skeptics. They infuriate, but they also illuminate, and anybody whose faith can't take the knocks that Maher dishes out probably has deeper spiritual issues to deal with." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	71%
2/4	" Nick & Norah's only wishes it had some of Juno's wit and energy." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	71%
3.5/4	" Rachel Getting Married is a lot like life: always moving, forever unpredictable and forever getting in the way of best-laid plans." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	88%
3/4	" Patti Smith: Dream of Life, fashion photographer Steven Sebring's impressionistic study of the most influential of punk poets, disarms and charms with its honesty." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)	63%
2.5/4	" Sam Rockwell's resistance to boos serves him well in Choke, a black comedy that actually improves upon the Chuck Palahniuk novel that spawned it." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
2/4	" [Lee] resorts to many of the same hoary clich�s and fantasy situations he so frequently condemns." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	33%
2/4	" It all wears very thin by the third act, when The Voice really starts to grate and all remaining sense slams into a brick wall." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
2.5/4	" Most movies of this kind would lead towards redemption of sorts. Menzel prefers quiet introspection to loud conversion, and that's both a strength and weakness of this movie." Posted Sep 19, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	80%
2/4	" Sukiyaki Western Django is Takashi Miike's frantic swirl of a spaghetti western, marrying eastern and western elements in what could be taken as either homage or parody -- or both." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)	58%
3.5/4	" *Harris follows his strong helming debut Pollock* with a contribution to the western movie revival that looks and sounds like a classic.*" Posted Sep 19, 2008*	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
2.5/4	" Jackson hasn't had a role this good or this complex in many a moon, even if the rote ending betrays the complexity of the set-up." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	44%
3/4	" *None of it makes strict sense, which is why it's called screwball, but in its own crazy way Burn After Reading* nails the essential folly of humans pretending to be civilized.*" Posted Sep 12, 2008*	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
	" Passchendaele hearkens back to war films of decades past, when patriotism, valour and integrity were presented without irony. But it is infused with the stoicism of people who know it is their job to try to find meaning within an insane situation." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Passchendaele (2008)	40%
No Rating	" The difference this time is the overall quality of the performances. Kingsley and Cruz make the most credible lovers [director Isabel] Coixet has ever paired." Posted Aug 22, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
2/4	" *If promotional hype of Falstaffian proportions has you convinced that Hamlet 2* is a Shakespearean romp or a musical involving a rocking sexy deity, some elucidation is in order.*" Posted Aug 22, 2008*	Hamlet 2 (2008)	63%
2.5/4	" This is still summer trash and no brain cells were injured or even fatigued in the making of it." Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	42%
3/4	" Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a comedy, a good one, and also one of Allen's best-ever meditations on the many entanglements of love." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	81%
3/4	" What keeps everything from imploding are Downey and Cruise, who are willing to push every audience button and damn the politically correct torpedoes." Posted Aug 13, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
