Baghead (2008) |
|
"Baghead is an original, confident piece of filmmaking that isn't easily categorized or even summarized." | |
Brian Tallerico | |

|
Brideshead Revisited (2008) |
|
"Maybe purists who are already up in arms about the alterations will stop and realize that it's a testament to just how incredible Waugh's novel was that, even with so many cuts and alterations, so much quality remains." | |

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
|
"When Hellboy II: The Golden Army gets to its big, titular climax, it's difficult to care because you can sense that the director doesn't really care either. It's a mere obligation." | |

Henry Poole Is Here (2008) |
|
"Hope and faith, by their very nature, are issues that need to be handled with question marks. And yet, Henry Poole Is Here features nothing but ham-fisted periods." | |

The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
|
"Hulk is further proof that the superhero genre has entered its mediocre period." | |

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
|
"It's as if the filmmakers added the 3-D element because they knew the movie would be too boring to be released without it." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|

|
The Love Guru (2008) |
|
"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." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
|
"Miscast, poorly shot, possibly choreographed by a spastic eight-year-old, Mamma Mia! is a mess, but it's kind of an impressive mess." | |

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) |
|
"I've read Choose Your Own Adventure novels with better narrative cohesion. And better dialogue, chemistry, and drama too." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Pineapple Express (2008) |
|
"Pineapple Express is one of the best comedies of the year, an original and creative mix of very dark humor, feel-good "best friends comedy," and stoner movie." | |
Brian Tallerico | |

|
The Promotion (2008) |
|
"A confident and clever character study about the commonality of dreams from the boardroom to the bag boy." | |
Brian Tallerico | |

|
The Rocker (2008) |
|
"The timing is a bit off with this routine, even if there are a few solos that totally kick ass." | |
Brian Tallerico | |

|
|
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008) |
|
"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." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Step Brothers (2008) |
|
"There's so much unpredictable comedy in Step Brothers, and humor is so much better when you can't see the jokes coming from a mile away." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Swing Vote (2008) |
|
"This politically driven writer wants to like any film where the basic message is "pay attention, people," but the critic in me can't give a movie with all the subtlety of a lead hammer a pass on thematic intentions alone." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Clone Wars (2008) |
|
"A franchise that once inspired the imagination of billions has fallen so far that it can't keep your attention for 98 minutes." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Transsiberian (2008) |
|
"With its consistently clever and always unpredictable screenplay, fascinating setting, and stellar lead performance, Transsiberian is riveting from beginning to end." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Tropic Thunder (2008) |
|
"Very few directors have been willing to take on a satire as dark and daring as Tropic Thunder. For those of us who were losing hope in Mr. Stiller, it's about time." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
|
"One of the most enjoyable and best films of the year." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Wanted (2008) |
|
"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." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) |
|
"Firmly places the nail in this franchise's coffin. I know what I don't want - a third X-Files film." | |
Brian Tallerico | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008) |
|
"Zohan might have made a relatively entertaining series of regular sketches on SNL but can't sustain a nearly two-hour running time" | |
