5/5	"Bell's debut feature addresses its subject with both humor and intelligence, approaching the issue of performance enhancement from every conceivable angle" Posted May 26, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
5/5	"In a city synonymous with hustle and bustle, the image of a stony-faced Frenchman gracefully dancing across a wire suspended between the Twin Towers, with no safety net or harness, is an overwhelmingly beauteous juxtaposition." Posted May 5, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
4/5	"While the film's ending is, quite literally, overkill, this poetic and unexpectedly tender film is mesmerizing from start to finish. Lets hope they don't screw up the inevitable American remake too badly..." Posted May 5, 2008	Let Me In (2008)	100%
2/5	"It's sort of ironic that the only demographic that'll appreciate this lame, watered-down brand of humor mirrors the community portrayed in the film: the elderly and infirm" Posted May 2, 2008	Bart Got a Room (2008)	71%
4/5	"*Bolstered by its strong performances and inspired direction, The Wackness* is anything but, yo*" Posted Apr 28, 2008*	The Wackness (2008)	63%
3/5	"despite the film's odd, whimsical tone, solid performances, and sartorial splendor, Mister Lonely runs out of steam and, as a commentary on our celebrity-obsessed culture, doesn't have a whole lot to say" Posted Apr 25, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	43%
4/5	"Filmed in impressionistic splashes of motion and color -- the somber blues of the sweets shop contrasting brilliantly with the violent neon glow of the passing subway -- it's Edward Hopper's Nighthawks brought to stunning, iridescent life." Posted Apr 1, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
2/5	"*When all is said and done, you're better off renting the Friends* Season Four finale...That was brilliant. This is like a bad Farrelly Brothers movie.*" Posted Mar 31, 2008*	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
3/5	"*While Stop-Loss* is more ambitious and well-crafted than the paint-by-numbers Varsity Blues, these two coming-of-age stories still belong in a similar film category: melodrama*" Posted Mar 27, 2008*	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
4/5	"What many people will fail to realize is that this is a Dadaist exercise -- it is not concerned with traditional aesthetics, and is intended to offend, in order to destroy the current climate of filmmaking, and its fostering of a culture of violence." Posted Mar 17, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	50%
2/5	"Unfortunately, the li'l critter is by far the most interesting thing about Chow's film." Posted Mar 10, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
3/5	"*tone shifts awkwardly to a Shaun of the Dead-meets-Fido-style satirical commentary on domestic life" Posted Mar 6, 2008*	The Signal (2007)	55%
4/5	"the sight of a coked-up Colin Farrell karate-chopping a racist dwarf in the neck alone is worth the price of admission" Posted Feb 11, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
4/5	"both a clever parable on the state of Israeli/Egyptian relations, as well as a surprisingly affectionate, amusing tale." Posted Feb 11, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
4/5	"Anyone who has ever made a no-budget home movie, replete with exaggerated performances and makeshift props out of The Warriors, will hold a special place in their heart for Be Kind Rewind" Posted Feb 3, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
1/5	"Mr. Lee is a former director of Asian music videos, which explains why his debut feature, from the high-octane opening credits to the Marnie-esque ending, is all style and no substance." Posted Feb 3, 2008	The Air I Breathe (2007)	14%
5/5	"This is cinematic naturalism at its finest." Posted Jan 16, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
3/5	"*Ultimately, Teeth* will probably never become the late night cult film it aspires to be, but it does achieve an overwhelming sense of castration anxiety*" Posted Jan 16, 2008*	Teeth (2008)	81%
2/5	"*As with Match Point, this is a glorified morality play, albeit with less poetic symbolism, shakier performances, predictable plot, and constricting dialogue" Posted Jan 16, 2008*	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	51%
5/5	"like the titular ancient city, is truly a sight to behold" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Persepolis (2007)	96%
2/5	"*there is what we can call the House of Sand and Fog* problem: this woman is way too attractive to be in this desperate a situation*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	Actresses (2007)	40%
5/5	"a genre classic; like a menacing m�lange of Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, and Cronenberg's A History of Violence" Posted Dec 18, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%
3/5	"an intricate exercise in synthetic cubism" Posted Dec 18, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
2/5	"a bunch of confused skaters trapped in an existentialist Nouvelle Vague film" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
4/5	"*relying on a muted narrative - tempered occasionally by the twinkling ivories of Aznavour - imbues Flight of the Red Balloon* with a degree of naturalism.*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
4/5	"this quirky, aesthetically-pleasing ride is one worth taking" Posted Dec 18, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
1/5	"The film is so artificial that it feels like a mockumentary (i.e. a deranged black comedy), and marks a low point in the career of De Palma." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Redacted (2007)	43%
2/5	"*a very poor man's Three Kings,* minus the deft mixture of witty satire/raw emotion and solid chemistry amongst the three leads.*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	The Hunting Party (2007)	51%
3/5	"*Remember Conspiracy Theory?* Mel Gibson would've made a perfect Lloyd Darrow. Plus, you know he believes in Santa Claus.*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	Stalking Santa (2006)	n/a
5/5	"be sure to stick it out through the closing credits. You'll thank me later." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
5/5	"*You could say it's sort of like Murderball,* only these guys' disabilities are of the social variety. At any rate, it's a great film*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
3/5	"will induce a shortage in precious vacation days, stirring up visions of oneself mimicking the carefree Jonathan, gallivanting about Paris without a care in the world" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Dans Paris (2007)	60%
4/5	"a testament to the healing power of music" Posted Dec 18, 2007	I Know I Am Not Alone (2006)	n/a
5/5	"arguably the finest film in Pixar's distinguished canon" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Ratatouille (2007)	95%
4/5	"Prepare to laugh (nervously), cry and be outraged." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
2/5	"*One can't help but brand the final 15 minutes of this film as one of the most glaring cases of self-sabotage since the twist-ending of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village." Posted Dec 18, 2007*	Dog Bite Dog (2006)	n/a
4/5	"given the current pitiable state of American horror flicks, it's far more profound than say... Hostel II" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Death Note - Vol. 1 (2006)	n/a
3/5	"*If you take Transformers* with a grain of salt...you'll have a pretty fun time checking out both the robotic (transformers) and human (Megan Fox) eye candy*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	Transformers (2007)	57%

5/5	"*When Mariane finds out about Daniel's death, she lets out a guttural scream; one that rivals Sean Penn's outburst in Mystic River* in raw emotional defeat.*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
3/5	"Like a few dirty martinis, you won't remember much of it the next day, but it was pretty fun while it lasted." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Ocean's Thirteen (2007)	70%
5/5	"Knocked Up is an instant classic, and cements Apatow's status as the top comedic director in the business" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
2/5	"*a fuzzy film sporting more bad Brooklyn accents and mob-movie cliches than Knockaround Guys* which, all things considered, is hard to do.*" Posted Dec 18, 2007*	Brooklyn Rules (2007)	49%
4/5	"Leconte has crafted an at once thoughtful, engaging, lighthearted, and melancholic entertainment about loneliness and friendship" Posted Dec 18, 2007	My Best Friend (2007)	75%
4/5	"If you give in to the charms of Charlie Bartlett, he will no doubt win you over. This is after all Anton Yelchin's show, and it's a doozie" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
2/5	"It looks like it's back to doling out parking tickets and shotgunning booze for Mr. Soter, and I think Cillian's probably learned a valuable career lesson here as well." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Watching The Detectives (2007)	n/a
2/5	"there are some terribly cliched threads, including C.J.'s as the doomed upwardly mobile kid from the block, and James as the tormented witness of 9/11" Posted Dec 18, 2007	Blackout (2008)	n/a
5/5	"Stephen Graham delivers a bravura performance as the brooding, mesmerizing Combo, clearly channeling Russell Crowe in Romper Stomper." Posted Dec 18, 2007	This Is England (2007)	93%

4/5	"a very solid first effort from Durst who, whether you like it or not, may just have a future in the director's chair." Posted Dec 18, 2007	The Education of Charlie Banks ()	n/a
