	"[S]cience fiction drama with the emphasis on the drama... [T]here are no monsters [here] except the all-too-human kind, and no demons except the all-too-familiar ones that plague us all." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 25, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%

	"[I]ntimate and incisive... a peek into the horrors of adolescence that most of us have tried to forget, and shouldn't..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 22, 2008	American Teen (2008)	67%

	"There are only 14 episodes here... but each is a brilliant little gem, faceted with witty and wise observations on how Generation X lives." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 21, 2008	Spaced: The Complete Series (1999/2001)	n/a
	"[N]one of the nonsensicalness would matter if the movie would let me get caught up in it, but that hardly happened, much as I wished it would..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
	"[Induces] culture shock at discovering [an] unseen world..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 17, 2008	Up The Yangtze (2008)	95%

	"I want to say that II is pure dumb popcorn fun while you're watching it and instantly forgettable the moment the credits start to roll, but actually, I was forgetting it while I was still in the process of watching it." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%

	"Maybe Shyamalan didn't mean for The Happening to be exciting and dramatic: perhaps the writer-director intended the film to be an exercise in sucking all the life and emotion out of fictional characters." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jun 16, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%

	"[A]voids that pitfall that brings down this genre of nutty comedy far more often than not: there's nothing meanspirited about it. It's crude in many ways... but it's never vulgar, and in fact it's often strikingly sweet." -- Flick Filosopher Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
	"Anime fans seem to think this 1908s TV series is a classic, and they're welcome to it.

	"I felt like some sort of alien anthropologist watching this movie... I don't see myself or the women that I know in them. Not at all. Not in the tiniest degree." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"Good thing The Strangers isn't actually scary in the least, because then I might really have to off on a rant about how our entertainment overlords are conspiring with our government to keep us timid and afraid." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%

	"[I]f you love David 'Doctor Who' Tennant and don't want to have to take a toothbrush to your brain to excise images of him as a creep on orders of magnitude both deranged and criminal, then skip Secret Smile..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 22, 2008	Secret Smile (2008)	n/a
	"[A] thoroughly unique experience, one that is wildly cinematic in that it never lets you forget you're watching a movie, and yet one that is so enrapturing that you get lost in it..." -- Flick Filosopher Posted May 21, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
