4/5	"*One of the real pluses of Up the Yangtze, aside from its empathy with its subjects, is its striking visual quality." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted May 16, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	89%
3/5	"Squarely in the tradition of the kind of teenage movies the Disney organization used to make before teens discovered horror and gore." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	70%
2/5	"*You may wish that Made of Honor* had given its stars something more of interest to occupy their time. And ours.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
4/5	"Focus is really the heart of Morris' unsettling film, which strikes a remarkable balance between art and disturbance, between beauty and pain." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 2, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	79%
2.5/5	"Downey's unbeatable charisma makes these problems less troublesome than they would be otherwise, but wouldn't it be nice if they didn't exist at all?" -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
4/5	"The film has a sense of the genial absurdity of life, a whimsical appreciation of the inescapable randomness of our anything-can-happen existence, of how fragile yet resilient are the bonds that draw people together." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	82%
2.5/5	"The filmmakers come off like their protagonist, wide-eyed tourists in an exotic realm. If you've been looking for a martial arts film to take granny and the kids to, this might be the one, but a Jackie Chan-Jet Li collaboration deserves better than that." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
4/5	"*You won't believe the world of Young@Heart, but you'll have a hard time resisting it." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 11, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	87%
3.5/5	"If some of this sounds like stereotypical Italian behavior, and if in fact My Brother Is an Only Child has a weakness for abrupt and melodramatic plot devices, it has other virtues that make it truly satisfying." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 4, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2008)	90%
4/5	"The music's insistent richness builds and builds, its sound becoming so deep and persuasive that qualms about age fade and the rhythms carry us away." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
3.5/5	"Genially preposterous and pleasantly diverting, it balances calculation against humanity and generally comes out on top." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	75%
4/5	"Stop-Loss is a film that does it right." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
2.5/5	"This largely Spanish-language film brings on the waterworks because its core story is undeniably affecting. The whole movie, however, would be more convincing if the elements around that vital core were more multidimensional and less contrived." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 21, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	74%
4/4	"No one who sees this intriguing documentary will want to argue with reporter Greider when he forcefully insists, "We need a more mature regard for the future." We do indeed." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Unforeseen (2007)	85%
4/5	"One of the strongest examples yet of a fearless new wave that has made Israel's cinema a force on the international scene." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	87%
3.5/5	"Brisk and agreeable, a handcrafted ode to the brew that is the beverage of choice where the Chinese, among many others, are concerned." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	All in This Tea (2007)	80%
2.5/5	"*Though Girls Rock!* is nothing if not well meaning, it doesn't always feel like the best possible film on the subject.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Mar 7, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	73%
3/5	"Outrageous and outlandish, Emmerich's 10,000 BC is easy to mock, but it is so cheerfully shameless and terminally silly that you have to admire its effrontery and accept its creator... as a certified crackpot visionary." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 7, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
5/5	"Search out this vivid film in a theater. Don't let the sacrifices he [Director Lou Ye] made be in vain." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 29, 2008	Summer Palace (2008)	68%
2.5/5	"The wave-like Rashomon structure of the story, combined with the steady pace and moody look of "Vivere" are lulling, but in the end the situation is neither believable nor fantastic enough to be very compelling." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 29, 2008	Vivere (2008)	47%
4/5	"Will leave you speechless two times over -- first with despair, then with joy." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 29, 2008	Walk to Beautiful, A (2008)	88%
2.5/5	"OK as far as it goes, which is not far enough." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
4/5	"Demonstrates that no matter how many Holocaust stories the movies tell, there are always new and unexpected ones waiting to be revealed." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 22, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
3/5	"Initially intriguing and energetic, this film ends up demonstrating that a good script needs to be more than a clever concept and fine direction must be more than moving things fast." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 22, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
3/5	"A sweet and somber film that works hard to overcome its limitations." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	84%
2.5/5	"This slick romantic comedy has several things going for it, including an interesting premise and an attractive cast. Getting all its elements to cohere, however, is too often just beyond its grasp." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 14, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
4/5	"Military Intelligence and You! is two movies for the price of one. It's both a loving spoof of World War II films and a pointed satire on America's involvement in Iraq." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	Military Intelligence and You! (2008)	38%
4/5	"It is sweet but not saccharine, an intimate film that doesn't stint on the desperation and anxiety that go along with the search for love." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 1, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
5/5	"A meticulous examination...Taxi is impressive." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 17, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
4/5	"A message this political has rarely been delivered in so poetic a form." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Violin (2007)	97%
4.5/5	"There Will Be Blood, the joint venture between actor Daniel Day-Lewis and director Paul Thomas Anderson, might be the most incendiary combination since the Molotov cocktail." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 26, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
3.5/5	"Working hard on both sides of the camera, Washington has grafted his intensity onto this production, giving it a kind of backbone it would not otherwise have." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	79%
2/5	"Charlie Wilson's War is an anachronism, the wrong movie at the wrong time. Not only does it tell its tale in a style that feels dated and artificial, the story itself focuses on events that history has overtaken." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 21, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
5/5	"It conveys unblinking and despairing emotional truth with enough intensity to leave you gasping for air." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 21, 2007	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
4/5	"This gleeful skewering of American popular music works because of the talents of director Jake Kasdan and a cast led by John C. Reilly." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 21, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	74%
3/5	"The Marc Forster-directed version of the Khaled Hosseini novel does one part of the story so well that its success underlines what's lacking in what remains." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 14, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
5/5	"The Israeli film that's become celebrated for what it lacks -- enough Hebrew to contend for the best foreign language Oscar -- can now be seen and appreciated for what it has in abundance: visual wit, verbal charm and a completely droll sense of humor." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
4.5/5	"These performers not only have the looks for a sweeping love story, they also have the skill to throw themselves into the proceedings like they really mean it." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 7, 2007	Atonement (2007)	82%
3/5	"*[An] ultimately satisfying and successful version of the opening volume of the celebrated His Dark Materials* trilogy.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
4/5	"Given its origins, it's not surprising that Yiddish Theater: A Love Story has a catch-as-catch-can feeling to it. But nothing can take away from the flavor of being caught up in the battles and dreams of a formidable group of people." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 30, 2007	Yiddish Theater: A Love Story (2007)	87%
4/5	"The film, based on the memoir of Jean-Dominique Bauby, handles delicate subject matter with sensitivity and imagination." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
5/5	"Intelligent, involving and conspicuously adult, "Starting Out in the Evening" is almost shocking in its distinctiveness, its ability to create high drama from an unlikely source." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 24, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
3.5/5	"There is a rawness to the characterization in this lacerating film that pushes family drama right to the edge." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 21, 2007	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
4/5	"*It's obvious but inescapable: Enchanted* is as good as its name.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Nov 21, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	94%
4/5	"An unexpectedly charming and enlightening film." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2007	How to Cook Your Life (2007)	71%
2/5	"This film is kind of a mess. Even if you agree with its politics, you will probably weep at the ineptitude of it all." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2007	Redacted (2007)	44%
4/5	"An unabashed valentine to Anna Faris, an opportunity for the actress to show that she can carry a movie composed of often hilarious nonstop misadventures." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2007	Smiley Face (2007)	67%
2/5	"If you want to understand what the pressure of Hollywood does to talent, if you want to experience where the movie business is heading in a big way, this benighted but likely remunerative film is the place to start." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 15, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
4.5/5	"War/Dance is as irresistible as the rhythms of African music on its soundtrack." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 9, 2007	War Dance (2007)	86%
