"Mother of Tears feels like a copy, like someone "doing Argento", instead of the real deal that it could have been." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jul 3, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)50%
/
 
"Hancock is a film that starts off promisingly, but takes a left turn about halfway through and literally comes apart at the seams." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)36%
/
 
"The kind of thrill ride that they used to make more often during the summer season - an over-the-top action movie made strictly for adults. Keep your superheroes. Give me more of these." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)72%
/
 
"Like its hero, the job may not be done with the most style and grace, but it definitely gets done." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)75%
/
 
"Amanda can never find a tone. It opens with a scene-reading (Taylor is a writer on a hacky TV show) that produces yawns, where our lead character is the only one that laughs. It's prophetic." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Finding Amanda (2008)36%
/
 
"Wall-E is not only the best movie of the year by galaxy-sized leaps and bounds, it's one of my favorite movies in a long, long time." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%
/
 
"There's nothing easy about Christopher Zalla's very good film, a story that will get under your skin in its depiction of the dark underbelly of the American dream." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)83%
/
 
"Get Smart isn't funny. And the action scenes aren't thrilling enough to make up for the lack of laughter." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)52%
/
 
"The kind of complete mess that makes a critic question the other "lowest possible" ratings he's given, because those films, honestly, weren't nearly this bad." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
The Love Guru (2008)15%
/
 
"Hulk is further proof that the superhero genre has entered its mediocre period." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Incredible Hulk (2008)68%
/
 
"I wanted Quid Pro Quo to develop into something at every turn, but it just never gels. It's a great 20-page short story that can't sustain 82 minutes of life on the big screen." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Quid Pro Quo (2008)64%
/
 
"Like the Iraq conflict itself, the exit strategy fails and the whole thing becomes a complete mess. And it wasn't that great an idea from the beginning." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
War, Inc. (2008)33%
/
 
"If you're anywhere near a city that's playing it in a theater, I couldn't be more direct - go see it. You will not regret it and not soon forget the best film so far this year." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 12, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
 
"The fight choreography in Kung Fu Panda is the real draw. And, especially in IMAX, the film is never visually boring." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 9, 2008
 
Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%
/
 
"Gordon is a masterful storyteller when he's clicking on all cylinders. It's his best film in years." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 9, 2008
 
Stuck (2008)70%
/
 
"Clearly made with the best of intentions but never anything but boring." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 9, 2008
 
The Children of Huang Shi (2008)25%
/
 
"A confident and clever character study about the commonality of dreams from the boardroom to the bag boy." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 8, 2008
 
The Promotion (2008)48%
/
 
"Zohan might have made a relatively entertaining series of regular sketches on SNL but can't sustain a nearly two-hour running time" -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 8, 2008
 
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)34%
/
 
"All we're left with is a movie that reminds us how good its source material once was and serves as a warning to anyone considering bringing a series to the big screen." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 2, 2008
 
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%
/
 
"With unbelievable and unsympathetic characters, all that's left in The Fall is the visuals." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 30, 2008
 
The Fall (2008)53%
/
 
"The Strangers may not be perfect but it's easy to believe that Bertino's next few will be. It's that great a debut." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 30, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)41%
/
 
"Korine may have an original voice and eye but can't really think of anything interesting to do with them." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 27, 2008
 
Mister Lonely (2008)43%

"What's wrong with Postal can be summed up pretty easily - it's a comedy that's never once funny." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Postal (2008)9%

"Spielberg and his team simply know how to do this kind of thing better than most of the filmmakers inspired by them who are trying to do it today." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)77%
/
 
"On every level, Prince Caspian feels more accomplished than The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 16, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)66%
/
 
"Ejiofor gives one of the most well-rounded and intriguing turns of the year and carries the entire film to the winner's circle." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Redbelt (2008)72%
/
 
"Unless you have an incredibly low threshold for kid/chimp comedy, a sense of fun is what's missing in Speed Racer and that should have been the first ingredient." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)36%

"Like a lot of those home movies we made as children, Son of Rambow has the best of intentions and a great set-up, but the ending falls apart." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Son of Rambow (2008)75%

"A documentary that feels even more relevant with the upcoming Supreme Court discussion of lethal injection in June." -- The Deadbolt

"The Standards of Filmmaking with Errol Morris" -- The Deadbolt

Standard Operating Procedure (2008)77%

"Perhaps it's because I see so many by-the-numbers horror movies but when a director is willing to go as far off the rails as Gens tries to go in Frontier(s), it goes a long way with me." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Frontier(s) (2008)65%

"Even with an amazing filmmaker like Morris, it's impossible to yet fully focus the photos from Abu Ghraib and truly know what happened, who was right, who was wrong, and when it will happen again." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Standard Operating Procedure (2008)77%

"Iron Man is good but don't be surprised if you wish that the armor was a little more chipped and faded and not quite so perfectly "hot-rod red."" -- The Deadbolt

Iron Man (2008)93%

"The talented crew and ensemble did everything they could to raise an incredibly flawed screenplay above its Lifetime TV Movie roots but ultimately could only take it so far." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)25%

"About now is when a critic would throw in a reference to a low poker hand to compare it to, but Deal can't even rise to a pair of twos." -- The Deadbolt

Deal (2008)0%
/
 
"For some, the comedy glass will be more half-empty than half-full, but fans of the original movie and people exhausted by the state of the genre in general will drink up and hope they get another serving sooner than 2012." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)55%
/
 
"It's almost as if someone involved let the cat out of the bag figuring that angry critics are certainly better for your career than angry, pissed-off fans. (Hugh, I'm looking at you.)" -- The Deadbolt

Deception (2008)11%

"Imagine hanging out in the head of a psychotic, indefensible loser for 80 minutes and getting nothing worth remembering or admiring in return." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Chapter 27 (2008)21%
/
 
"These characters feel like they exist before the cameras roll and after the credits are done, and it is the audience who are the true visitors, inspired by just getting to spend some time with them." -- The Deadbolt

"Yes, if another filmmaker had made My Blueberry Nights, I would probably be able to recommend it, but knowing what Wong Kar Wai's capable of, I just can't shake the bitter feeling left by this sweet treat." -- The Deadbolt

My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%

"A near-miss, a wasted opportunity to really dig deep into a major section of the world that is usually viewed on purely a surface level." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)36%

"A near-disaster of pacing, tone, and bad acting, Zombie Strippers never lives up to the B-movie promise of its title or even its clever concept." -- The Deadbolt

"It's the first time that Pacino is overwhelmed by the awfulness of what surrounds him and simply drowns in the tide of bullsh*t, making this one of the only times that we can't even say "See it for Al."" -- The Deadbolt

"You take them with you as you leave the theater, knowing that your bad day probably isn't as rough as you first thought and inspiring the realization that anyone can climb the peaks of their own lives. It's a must-see." -- The Deadbolt

Blindsight (2008)97%

"Reynolds and Mortimer won't be fazed by this misfire but Chaos Theory certainly lives up to its title. It's a mess." -- The Deadbolt
