1/4	"*Only a truly dreadful story could make 81 minutes seem like an eternity. And Space Chimps* is just that leaden experience.*" Posted Jul 18, 2008*	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
3/4	"*Logic is unnecessary to savor Mamma Mia!* Escapist and fun, it never takes itself too seriously.*" Posted Jul 17, 2008*	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
4/4	"As much as this is Ledger's movie, that should not diminish the notable accomplishments of other key cast members." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
2/4	"Flat and predictable, though the visuals are often striking." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
1.5/4	"The lackluster title hints at the dull, witless and hackneyed story." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
3/4	"With director Guillermo del Toro's fantastical vision on overdrive tempered by an occasionally self-mocking sense of humor, this Hellboy sequel is a quintessential summer movie that delivers plenty of inventive thrills." Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
2.5/4	"It has moments of sweetness, but not enough poignancy or wit to turn it into the endearing art-house comedy that it aspires to be." Posted Jul 3, 2008	Diminished Capacity (2008)	28%
3/4	"The Wackness is both darkly funny and life-affirming, in an offbeat and offhanded way." Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	66%
3.5/4	"Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is a mesmerizing look at the mythic quality and anarchic spirit of the irreverent and rabble-rousing journalist." Posted Jul 3, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	84%
2/4	"What starts out with a sense of quirky fun loses direction and devolves into a mishmash of story lines." Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3/4	"*A sensitive and occasionally poetic film, Brick Lane* is an absorbing tale of personal empowerment and emotional growth.*" Posted Jun 26, 2008*	Brick Lane (2008)	63%
2.5/4	"The film's tone shifts jarringly from superficial broad comedy to something far darker. And the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold scenario is as old as the profession itself." Posted Jun 26, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
2.5/4	"The thrilling stunts and hyperkinetic action scenes are the undisputed stars of this surprisingly entertaining film." Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
4/4	"Who would guess that a movie with minimal dialogue and a love story between robots could emerge as one of the best films of the summer? And who would think a tale could be both post-apocalyptic and charming?" Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2.5/4	"Though predictable and unabashedly sentimental, the film is a warmly appealing tale of a bright girl bravely navigating tough times." Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
2/4	"It's a silly spoof that is occasionally funny but grows tedious with excessive mugging and bad punning." Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
2.5/4	"It can't decide whether it wants to be a thrilling action movie or a quirky comic spoof. The elements seem in conflict, rather than seamlessly blended." Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3.5/4	"*While the historical accuracy may be dodgy, Mongol* is a sweeping and quasi-mythical epic that recalls Lawrence of Arabia.*" Posted Jun 13, 2008*	Mongol (2008)	88%
1.5/4	"Shyamalan tries to give the events a scientific underpinning. But his logic is spotty, so what are meant to be eerie moments are not convincing." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
2.5/4	"The saga is uneven and there are plot holes, but as a popcorn movie steeped in action, it keeps our attention." Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
2/4	"Everything that happens in this dull tale of Po, a paunchy panda who becomes a zealous kung fu fighter, is telegraphed well in advance." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
3.5/4	"The film is not only poignant, but nuanced, never offering pat answers, predictable revelations or easy sentimentality." Posted Jun 6, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	74%
2.5/4	"If one-note jokes that drag on too long or are worked into the ground aren't enough to trigger comic nausea, then perhaps the myriad uses of hummus will do the trick in You Don't Mess With the Zohan." Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2.5/4	"The over-the-top tale becomes a tense and unsettling duel. This is not enjoyable entertainment, but it is brutally watchable. Writer/director Stuart Gordon seeks to expose our uncaring, self-absorbed society and also the unflagging will to live." Posted May 30, 2008	Stuck (2008)	71%
3/4	"*A hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, The Foot Fist Way* is a refreshingly silly and clever portrait of a strikingly daft and clueless man.*" Posted May 30, 2008*	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
3/4	"Amid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion." Posted May 28, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
2.5/4	"*Though it occasionally tries too hard, the fast-paced and sharply written War, Inc.* is audacious and entertaining.*" Posted May 23, 2008*	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
2.5/4	"Even with the ponderous dialogue, there is considerable fun, and it's good to see that Indy, though slightly weary, still has the goods." Posted May 18, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
3.5/4	"An intelligent and occasionally profound portrait of a pair of artists as young men." Posted May 16, 2008	Reprise (2008)	89%
2.5/4	"The film is sensitively told and appealingly bittersweet, though the story at times meanders and loses its way." Posted May 16, 2008	How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)	87%
3/4	"Though the movie could have ended a few scenes earlier, it is still a journey well worth taking." Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
3/4	"The Fall is aptly named not only because it pertains to a tragic descent but because viewers will feel as if they have plunged headlong into an alternate universe with this dazzling adult fairy tale." Posted May 9, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
2.5/4	"Hunt draws some good performances from the cast and wisely chose a low-key personal story for her directorial debut." Posted May 9, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
1.5/4	"For a movie about velocity, the excitement factor is low and the races feel like a drag." Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
2/4	"What Happens in Vegas refuses to take a gamble. Like a bleary-eyed gambler repeatedly tossing a pair of dice, it tiredly goes through the motions." Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
3/4	"Anchored by a powerful and nuanced performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mamet's latest writing and directing effort is a compelling drama about the world of martial arts fighting." Posted May 2, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	72%
3/4	"First-time actors Milner and Poulter are gifted and natural." Posted May 2, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
2/4	"Though he has the requisite charm for a romantic comedy, McDreamy has picked a pretty nightmarish project to showcase his talents." Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
3/4	"Hollywood has unearthed an unlikely weapon of mass destruction: Robert Downey Jr." Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
3.5/4	"Standard Operating Procedure's subject matter, and what it says about the war in Iraq, is eye-opening. It may be the most disturbing film you'll see in a long time." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
2/4	"Despite a cast that includes double-crossers Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams caught in the middle, the film is a yawn." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	11%
3/4	"Yes, the film doesn't offer many surprises and grows soft and predictable by its conclusion. But it does avoid the sappy sentimentality of the genre. The movie -- and its lead actresses -- charms us more than we might expect." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
2.5/4	"A guilty pleasure that retains the anarchic charms of the original." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
2.5/4	"Given the fraught nature of U.S.-Middle East relations and the war on terrorism, Spurlock is understandably in over his head. Still, he is a genial host whose message urges cultural understanding." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
1.5/4	"This is propaganda, a political rant disguised as a serious commentary on stifled freedom of inquiry." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	8%
3/4	"The cringingly wacky scenarios, offbeat characters and comic dialogue serve up a crowd-pleasing, laugh-filled experience." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
1/4	"An inane thriller whose major fear factor hinges on a menacing phone call, the film also relies on a silly phrase intended to fill the viewer with unspeakable terror: 'Tick tock, Doc.'" Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
3.5/4	"All the main characters are inherently decent, and the humanity of their saga, which centers on illegal immigration, makes for a deeply moving film." Posted Apr 11, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
3.5/4	"*Not only is it enjoyable, Young@Heart* is a heartening and poignant affirmation of the transformative power of music.*" Posted Apr 11, 2008*	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
