	300 (2007)	"I still wish David Wenham weren't the narrator, but everything else about the movie is a brutal kind of hypnotic that keeps me coming back."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene (2008)	"...even [Don] Cheadle is no substitute for the man himself."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	"Where does this movie rank in the grand pantheon of Alien and Predator movies? Next to last. It's still better than ALIEN RESURRECTION."	Luke Y. Thompson



	American Teen (2008)	"...a refreshing antidote to the overly beautified "teenagers" and excessively clean buildings that populate Hollywood's phony high school stories."	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Art of Travel (2008)	"...cloying and a structural mess"	Luke Y. Thompson



	Big Man Japan (2007)	"...we follow middle-aged bachelor Dai around Tokyo while he feeds his cat, rides the subway, and periodically transforms into a 50-foot tall tattooed wrestler who battles giant monsters."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Captain Abu Raed (2008)	"If there's a flaw to the film, it's that the hero has none -- he's such a saint that this sometimes feels like a scripture lesson."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Caterpillar Wish (2006)	"A well-done movie all-around -- but what teenager today uses film in her camera?"	Luke Y. Thompson



	Choose Connor (2007)	"The ending is also note-perfect. However...it could have used perhaps a bit more restraint in some areas."	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	"...as inferior to the first book as the second one is, so is the second film from the first. Which is about right."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Cloverfield (2008)	"...the swiftness, economy, and momentum of the storytelling is enough to sweep right over the rough parts."	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	"And you thought you had trouble connecting with your parents!"	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	"Bloodless, but just make sure your young 'uns are past the stage of copying all the moves they see."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Frost (2008)	"...it's kind of like Van Wilder with fewer laughs and a really horrible soundtrack."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	"If you haven't had enough of Holocaust-related tales onscreen, this is a perfectly serviceable one"	Luke Y. Thompson



	Garage (2008)	"A wonderfully knowing portrait of the fading small-town lifestyle in the Emerald Isle, Garage doesn't quite make the "must-see" list because of its ending"	Luke Y. Thompson



	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	"Though Boll now has his own fan base who love his awfulness -- the crowd I saw the movie with cheered when his name came up onscreen at the end -- he isn't consistent enough for my liking/disliking."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	"[George Lucas] and Steven Spielberg have earned back a lot of goodwill with this one. It's the only Spielberg movie in over a decade that actually ends when it's supposed to."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Kabluey (2008)	"Prendergast is clearly a force to be reckoned with -- his fearless performance as Salman/Kabluey is a thing of beauty, and his sense of story and humor are note-perfect."	Luke Y. Thompson



	King of Ping Pong (2008)	"If this kid were your classmate in school, you'd avoid him. Doing likewise with the movie won't hurt."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Mister Foe (2008)	"Presented as a sort of romantic neo-fairy-tale, the movie rarely acknowledges the inherent creepiness of its premise."	Luke Y. Thompson



	One Missed Call (2008)	"One missed opportunity."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Pathology (2008)	"When a movie opens with the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally as performed by cadavers, and later proceeds to sex scenes involving scalpels and needles, the actual plot becomes inconsequential."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Romance & Cigarettes (2007)	"...you have not lived till you've seen Walken belt out a Tom Jones tune."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Sherman's Way (2008)	"Not an uncontrived moment goes by."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	"...arguably the best-directed movie of the year."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Son of Rambow (2008)	"Some of the dialogue is overly cinema-savvy for naive kids ("We're losing light!"), but...director Garth Jennings gives the proceedings a charmingly surreal and imaginative tone."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (2008)	"Gone are the days when you could rig a movie theater's seats with electric buzzers to simulate a monster attack...but you can relive them via this exuberant tribute"	Luke Y. Thompson



	Steep (2007)	"I'm not a skier. My balance is bad, and that stuff scares me. So more power to those who are - this flick's for you. And probably not anyone else."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Street Kings (2008)	"Ayer keeps upping the ante, to the point where finally you go, "Okay, NOW this [stuff] they're doing is definitely unacceptable.""	Luke Y. Thompson



	Superhero Movie! (2008)	"Note to screenwriters: it's clear you think that jokes ending in the words "Myspace," "YouTube," or "Wikipedia" are automatically funny, but it just ain't so."	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Good Life (2007)	"As a director, Stephen Berra makes this all quite palatable, but as a writer, he frequently mistakes platitudes for profundity."	Luke Y. Thompson



	Time Crimes (2007)	"one of the best movie opening sequences in recent memory...The rest, unfortunately, is a bit more predictable."	Luke Y. Thompson



	The Tracey Fragments (2008)	"Likely to overwhelm and annoy viewers hoping for Juno Part II, it is nonetheless an audacious and imaginative work that's sure to remain one of the year's best."	Luke Y. Thompson
