3.5/4
 
"It is Claude Sarraute's performance that I love most of all in the film. I can easily imagine spending the night in the salon of this old lady, and telling her everything she wants to hear." -- Chicago Sun-Times

The Last Mistress (2008)77%

2.5/4
 
"A sweet but inconsequential romantic comedy." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"There are the wall-to-wall songs by ABBA, if you like that sort of thing. I don't, not much." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Space Chimps is delightful from beginning to end: A goofy space opera." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Iron Man and even more so The Dark Knight move the genre into deeper waters. They realize, as some comic-book readers instinctively do, that these stories touch on deep fears, traumas, fantasies and hopes." -- Chicago Sun-Times

The Dark Knight (2008)94%

3/4
 
"What saves this movie, which won this year's audience award at Sundance, from being boring are performances by two actors who see a chance to go over the top and aren't worried about the fall on the other side." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)66%

2/4
 
"This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)60%
/
3.5/4
 
"There will be times you think it's too perplexing, when you're sure you're witnessing loose ends. It has been devised that way, and the director knows what he's doing. Even when it's baffling, it's never boring." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Tell No One (2008)92%
/
4/4
 
"A poem of oddness and beauty. Herzog is like no other filmmaker, and to return to him is to be welcomed into a world vastly larger and more peculiar than the one around us. The underwater photography alone would make a film, but there is so much more." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Encounters at the End of the World (2008)94%

3.5/4
 
"[del Toro] has an endlessly inventive imagination, and understands how legends work, why they entertain us and that they sometimes stand for something. For love, for example." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%

"It is all you could wish for in a doc about the man. But it leaves you wondering, how was it that so many people liked this man who does not seem to have liked himself? And what about the hangovers?" -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Brick Lane is about characters who have depth and reality, who change and learn, who have genuine feelings. And it keeps on surprising us, right to the end." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"The French-made movie travels familiar ground, with a nod as well to Airplane!, Top Secret and that whole genre. Even compared to them, it pushes things just a little -- not too far, but toward the loony." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"At the end of the day it's Robert Downey Jr. who powers the lift-off separating this from most other superhero movies." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Iron Man (2008)93%
/
3.5/4
 
"The everyday moviegoer will find it as impenetrable as its heroine. But if you vibrate to nuances of style, if you enjoy tension gathering strength beneath terrible restraint, if you admire great acting, then you will." -- Chicago Sun-Times

The Duchess of Langeais (2008)67%

3.5/4
 
"Considering that it is inspired by one of the dolls in the American Girl product line, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl is some kind of a miracle: an actually good movie." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)80%

3.5/4
 
"A ferocious film, blood-soaked, pausing occasionally for passionate romance and more frequently for torture. As a visual spectacle, it is all but overwhelming, putting to shame some of the recent historical epics from Hollywood." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Mongol (2008)88%

1/4
 
"The movie not only violates the Law of Funny Names (which are usually not funny), but rips it from the Little Movie Glossary and tramples it into the ice." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
The Love Guru (2008)15%
/
3.5/4
 
"It’s funny, exciting, preposterous, great to look at, and made with the same level of technical expertise we’d expect from a new Bond movie itself. And all of that is very nice, but nicer still is the perfect pitch of the casting." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%

"Stumbles through a maddening screenplay but nevertheless generates true emotional energy." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)83%

"Akin's purpose, I think, is a simple one: He wants us to meet these people, know them, sympathize with them....I found them fascinating." -- Chicago Sun-Times

The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
3/4
 
"Shyamalan's approach is more effective than smash-and-grab plot-mongering. His use of the landscape is disturbingly effective. The performances by Wahlberg and Deschanel bring a quiet dignity to their characters." -- Chicago Sun-Times

The Happening (2008)19%

"This is a film of regret, and judging by what we see of the characters, it deserves to be." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Living these lives, for these people, must have been sad and tedious, and so, inevitably, is their story, and it must be said, the film about it." -- Chicago Sun-Times

War, Inc. (2008)31%

"It sidesteps the intriguing aspects of Hulkdom and spends way too much time in, dare I say, noisy and mindless action sequences" -- Chicago Sun-Times

"I cannot recommend this movie, but I can describe it, and then it's up to you...What it does, it does well, even the point of its disgusting final scene." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"It's elegantly drawn, the action sequences are packed with energy, and it's short enough that older viewers will be forgiving. For the kids, of course, all this stuff is much of a muchness, and here they go again." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Constantine's Sword (2008)83%

2/4
 
"The film doesn't work, and indeed seems to have no clear idea of what its job is, and yet (sigh) there is the temptation to forgive its trespasses simply because it is utterly, if pointlessly, original." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"Tarsem's The Fall is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms. Surely it is one of the wildest indulgences a director has ever granted himself." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"I am not the person to review this movie. Perhaps you will enjoy a review from someone who disqualifies himself at the outset, doesn’t much like most of the characters and is bored by their bubble-brained conversations." -- Chicago Sun-Times
