1/10	"*Alex Aja has not only made the worst film of his career in Mirrors, he's made possibly the worst film of the year." -- CHUD* Posted Aug 15, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	17%
2/10	"The only enjoyment I got from the film was laughing at how miserable it was and then zoning out during the boring fight scenes... which make up, no joke, about 90% of the total running time." -- CHUD Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
8/10	"I laughed loud and hard throughout this film, and I enjoyed every minute of it and have no problem enthusiastically recommending it to you. But time and again the movie's jokes reach for comedic nirvana and fall just ever so short." -- CHUD Posted Aug 15, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
9.5/10	"The aesthetic here isn't homaging 80s buddy action movies so much as just making one. It's MIDNIGHT RUN for the 21st century." -- CHUD Posted Aug 6, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
6.5/10	"Make no mistake, it's bad. But it's fun bad." -- CHUD Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
4/10	"The greatest X-File of all may be solving what paranormal phenomenon convinced Fox to greenlight this piece of crap." -- CHUD Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
8.5/10	"Someone get the Batman a lozenge." -- CHUD Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
7.5/10	"WallE* begins as a truly groundbreaking work and then turns into just another diverting cartoon with some wonderful themes." -- CHUD Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
7.5/10	"The Incredible Hulk is often loud, and it can be quite dumb, but it's certainly not bloated." -- CHUD Posted Jun 26, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
8/10	"Sometimes you want to listen to a symphony, sometimes you want to listen to a beautifully crafted pop song. But sometimes you want to crank the speakers and bang your head, and that's why God (and Timur Bekmambetov) gave you Wanted." -- CHUD Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
8.5/10	"Hellboy II feels like nothing less than the successor to Pan's Labyrinth... dressed in spandex." -- CHUD Posted Jun 26, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
6.5/10	"If you want to get prepared for this one, don't go back and watch the other Indy movies. Pull out The Lost World instead. Both films are directed by the same Steven Spielberg - bored, only mildly engaged and seemingly going through the motions." -- CHUD Posted May 18, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
7/10	"A fantasy film without much magic but plenty of darkness and violence." -- CHUD Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
8.5/10	"*The best superhero movie since Spider-Man 2. Robert Downey Jr is the film's best special effect." -- CHUD* Posted May 2, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
6/10	"Watching Keith Richards paraded around like a man in a character costume at Disneyland I found myself realizing how f**ing lame this group has become... This isn't rock and roll - this is a very loud Lawrence Welk performance." -- CHUD* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	87%
5/5	"American Zombie is hands-down the best film I've seen so far this year." -- MovieWeb Posted Apr 2, 2008	American Zombie (2007)	69%
8/10	"Proves that there's still lots of humor and insight to be found in the walking dead." -- CHUD Posted Apr 2, 2008	American Zombie (2007)	69%
7.5/10	"*If The Bank Job* is forever known as 'The One Where Statham Cold Cocks an Old Dude,' the film's already a wild success*" -- CHUD* Posted Mar 5, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	79%
8.5/10	"Rambo earns the Red Badge of Carnage." -- CHUD Posted Jan 23, 2008	Rambo (2008)	36%
7.5/10	"The monster mayhem is impressive in scale and presentation... makes a moribund genre like the monster movie suddenly come roaring to life." -- CHUD Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
7.5/10	"[The film] is, in the end, mildly disappointing, a movie that is beautiful but without warmth. Hopefully Joe Wright can continue on the visual path he is blazing for himself while not again losing the humanity of his wonderful Pride & Prejudice." -- CHUD Posted Dec 21, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
8/10	"A consistently great experience, and I'd love to go back and see it again in three weeks when the Hot Topic generation has latched on to it and will be singing along in the theater." -- CHUD Posted Dec 20, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
6/10	"Chris Weitz dropped out of the film years ago because he thought he couldn't do this story justice. Turns out he was right; as a director he's competent but doesn't have 'sweeping epic' in him." -- CHUD Posted Dec 5, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
2/10	"Southland Tales is a monumentally bad film, a landmark in 21st century cinematic awfulness. There's no real meaning to be found here; it's all signifiers for half baked ideas that Richard Kelly never managed to turn into anything worthwhile." -- CHUD Posted Nov 14, 2007	Southland Tales (2007)	34%
9/10	"Beowulf is an exhilarating experience, a glorious spectacle and a film that rewards viewers who keep their brains turned on behind their 3D glasses." -- CHUD Posted Nov 12, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
4/10	"*[A] turd covered in tasty Ghirardelli chocolate - as soon as you sink your teeth in you know you've got mouthful of sweetened sht.*" -- CHUD* Posted Oct 17, 2007	30 Days of Night (2007)	50%
6/10	"The worst and most seriously disappointing of all the Dead movies.The whole premise is botched... badly [and] the audience continuously and rudely gets yanked from the experience of the movie." -- CHUD Posted Oct 13, 2007	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
8/10	"This is a movie with its heart in the right place, which is beating and bloody in somebody's hand." -- CHUD Posted Oct 9, 2007	Wrong Turn 2 (2007)	75%
7/10	"Anderson's strength - he's a consummate visual stylist, a natural born scene maker - is also his weakness, in that he favors obvious constructions, representations and meanings in his scripts." -- CHUD Posted Oct 6, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
5/10	"There's nothing sadder than a prestige picture that just doesn't work, because these kinds of films so rarely allow themselves to have fun." -- CHUD Posted Oct 5, 2007	Michael Clayton (2007)	90%
6/10	"Projected in digital format with booming, all-encompassing sound, Blade Runner: The Final Cut is a marvel of technology and dedication. As a film it's still the same dead-eyed pretty girl who looks good on your arm but is a real bore over dinner." -- CHUD Posted Oct 2, 2007	Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982)	97%
7.5/10	"A very middle of the road film, one that will never get your heart racing or piss you off too much." -- CHUD Posted Sep 4, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
1/10	"Halloween is, objectively speaking and without thinking about the original, a crummy film. As a remake of the Carpenter movie it's a heinous abortion." -- CHUD Posted Aug 30, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
9/10	"Smart and thoughtful while never sacrificing tension, excitement or teeth-shattering action... Peter Berg has made a current events thriller that will stand in the years to come as a cinematic snapshot of our f**ed up moment in time." -- CHUD* Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
1/10	"The Invasion is a wretched mess from start to finish, and it taints the reputations of every single person who not only appears in it, but also goes to see it." -- CHUD Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Invasion (2007)	19%
9.5/10	"Superbad, essentially, is the filthiest episode of Freaks & Geeks ever." -- CHUD Posted Aug 17, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
7.5/10	"*You need to see Hot Rod* just so you can say you were on the Danny McBride bandwagon a year early.*" -- CHUD* Posted Aug 3, 2007	Hot Rod (2007)	39%
9.5/10	"*[T]he antidote to bloated, stupid threequels and mindless junk food cinema. Bourne* isn't just the best action movie of the summer, it's one of the best movies of the year.*" -- CHUD* Posted Aug 3, 2007	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	93%
8/10	"David Yates and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg have successfully pared the unwieldy book down into something that works well enough that this film places third in my personal best of Potter movies list." -- CHUD Posted Jul 10, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
5/10	"*Perhaps the scariest thing about Joshua* was the feeling I got at the end that I had just sat through some kind of weird gay panic movie.*" -- CHUD* Posted Jul 5, 2007	Joshua (2007)	62%
7.5/10	"Transformers is probably the Rosetta Stone of Bay's career. All of his favorite elements are here: military fetishism, vehicular fetishism, hot chick fetishism, explosion fetishism, sweaty machismo and a brutal disregard for an interesting story." -- CHUD Posted Jul 2, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
5/10	"Live Free or Die Hard is like the anti-Die Hard, a big, dumb cartoon that makes Bad Boys II seem restrained and realistic." -- CHUD Posted Jun 26, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
8/10	"Our news media is letting us down and killing us with frivolity; thank God Michael Winterbottom is there trying to take up the slack." -- CHUD Posted Jun 20, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
8/10	"*I was scared, I was creeped out and I was grossed out... Hostel Part II* is damn unsettling.*" -- CHUD* Posted Jun 7, 2007	Hostel: Part II (2007)	46%
8.5/10	"*Soderbergh and company have said this is the last Ocean's* film, and it should be - they finally got it right. Anything that comes after will only tarnish the cocktail hour perfection of this movie.*" -- CHUD* Posted Jun 7, 2007	Ocean's Thirteen (2007)	70%
7/10	"Gracie is a rousing sports film that ultimately earns that lump in your throat." -- CHUD Posted May 30, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
8/10	"Bekmambetov mostly keeps his story moving forward on the back of his immensely likable protagonist, played by Konstantin Khabensky." -- CHUD Posted May 29, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	63%
5/10	"*[Mr. Brooks] piles subplot upon subplot, making what should have been a taut, disturbing thriller feel bloated and aimless." -- CHUD* Posted May 29, 2007	Mr. Brooks (2007)	56%
8/10	"Bug is a movie intent on getting under skin in much the same way its protagonists think insects have gotten under theirs; it's a movie that gnaws on you long after you've walked out of the theater." -- CHUD Posted May 27, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
3/10	"Paprika is yet another incoherent anime that's more interested in its warmed over visuals than in indulging in any kind of storytelling or character work." -- CHUD Posted May 27, 2007	Paprika (2007)	82%
