D+	"Speed Racer is an ocular slap, but it's strictly empty calories; a joyless, over-plotted nostalgia machine that barely limps out of the starting gate...an inert sleeping pill. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	34%
D+	"If I had anything kind to say about Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz before this film, I'm ready to take every word back...a shrill monstrosity of a romantic comedy." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
B+	"Surfwise is a captivating documentary highlighted by some significant scenes of naked confession and an overall portrait of misplaced intelligence...a powerful document of familial agitation and disillusionment." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Surfwise (2008)	100%
A-	"Monster Camp is an absolute treat, unveiling a pastime few outside the elf realm have seen before...It's a confident directorial piece in what amounts to be a spellbinding documentary of unique perspective." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 8, 2008	Monster Camp (2008)	86%
A-	"The translation is a little bumpy, but this is Mystery Science Theater we're talking about here: even a less concentrated effort is guaranteed to be a pants-wetting night of endless laughs and infectious bad movie grimacing. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 7, 2008	Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)	74%
D	"Let's just say that glow-in-the-dark anal sex toy sight gags fail to conjure up a desired mood of friendly, good-natured fun. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	13%
B+	"*A film predicated on ideas of suspense and pace rather than blasting violence and idiocy, Rogue* is a satisfying, skilled entry in the water-based terror genre.*" -- BrianOrndorf.com* Posted May 1, 2008	Rogue (2008)	100%
A-	"Redbelt strikes amazing notes of drama and character composition that could only come from the labyrinthine, puckered mind of Mamet. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	69%
B+	"Superheroes have been young, mutated, and alien, but they're rarely fortysomething billionaires with a taste for one-night-stands, metallurgy, and scotch. Perhaps this is why Iron Man is so effective." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	92%
D	"Frankly there's nothing sadder in the world than to watch a sex-laden film unable to climax properly." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
D-	"I'd assumed I would never have to write this, but I miss the confident directorial touch of the guy who made Dude, Where's My Car? " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
B	"It's not a perfect film by any means, but as a debutante ball for Fey and Poehler as big screen leading ladies, it's a dream." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
B+	"Sharing ace chemistry with Hunt, Midler's scenes are the jewels of the film; a reminder of how impressive her talent is and how much her recent career direction has failed to capitalize on her gifts. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	57%
C	"As a poker diversion, "Deal" should pass the time, but if you're hoping for a dramatically rewarding piece of filmmaking, your odds are better with a different movie." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deal (2008)	0%
D+	"This is a movie that contains Jenna Jameson shooting billiard balls out of her vagina and characters on an existential quest of self-purpose, who thirst to maintain their voice in a fascist country that squashes free thought to profit from misery. Yikes." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	36%
B-	"There's an overwhelming and quite repellent amount of gloss applied to the finished product, yet underneath it all are many scenes of honest emotional confession, distributed through wonderful atypical performances." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Jack and Jill vs. the World (2008)	14%
B	"The roles are superbly realized by Wood and Thurman, but the real backbone of the picture is Perelman, who takes great care to weave the small tragedies into a wounded whole." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
A	"It's a firecracker of a picture, paying tribute to stomped hearts everywhere, not to mention throwing valentines toward the Muppets, luscious Hawaii, and the comedic value of the penis." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
C-	"It's impossible to take Morgan Spurlock seriously as a big-screen documentarian. Clearly he comes from the Michael Moore school of "infotainment," only without the sharp wit or, frankly, compelling subject matters. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 17, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
D-	"*The short answer is that Many* is atrociously unfunny and Melendez reveals himself to be a man of zero charisma and artistic capability*" -- DVDTalk.com* Posted Apr 17, 2008	National Lampoon - One, Two, Many (2007)	n/a
D	"How Al Pacino found himself roped into this wacky movie is another mystery entirely and one that doesn't take much research past the words "yacht payment" to solve." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 16, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
D-	"*The new Prom Night* is insistently lifeless, which I think is worse than simply being awful. At least awful has some personality to it...the defanged slasher movement once again lays a rotten egg.*" -- BrianOrndorf.com* Posted Apr 11, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	9%
B	"A polite, gentle drama about friendship and musical expression, "Visitor" dances slowly, but effectively, working its way to the heart." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
D+	"The film certainly feels like it had more to say with these complex characters, only to be gutted by an undefined entity more interested in infuriating brevity than fulfilling storytelling." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
C+	"It's certainly a film that's cruel to disagree with, but for all the goodwill and positivity it brings, there's a hollow, gimmicky quality left behind that doesn't sit well when the picture starts to take matters seriously." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
B	"It does provide a compelling, edgy ride around the underbelly of life, worth the trip to bask in the tough-guy bloodshed and bullet-riddled nightlife of Los Angeles." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
4/5	Click here to read article -- DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 9, 2008	War Dance (2007)	86%
A	"A delightfully eccentric fantasy, flush with laughs and displays of fantastical ink-stained escapism; an unforgettable triumph of heart and giggles. One of the few assuredly must-see films of 2008." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 8, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	73%
D	"Kingdom is a stiff, disturbingly ill-conceived fantasy film more consumed with playing slack-jawed fanboy than telling a compelling story worthy of these two giants." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 8, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	61%
D+	"A headache-inducing film that grows more obnoxious as it plays, but the most piercing element of the movie is Foster." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
A-	"Near-perfect at manipulating its audience...it's a marvelous nightmare machine." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	42%
A-	"Scorsese has an obsession with the Stones, and it's revealed in every last dizzying moment of this exceptional musical document." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
B+	"Executed with a fizzy bang that Clooney pulls off with a prohibition stupor and some knee-slapping generosity; the man knows how to stage a bar fight and a game of verbal chess with the best of them." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
B+	"A film of miniature treasures...a lyrical picture, not forceful. Give it some time, and it's almost sure to get under your skin." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	79%
B	"Emotionally aloof, but never far from a moment of beauty." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Apr 3, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
F	"It's a pageant of stupidity that hopes gushing wounds and deliberate fanboy-catnip slices of ultraviolent cheese will mask the reality that it's a worthless offering in an increasingly abused genre." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 1, 2008	Day of the Dead (2007)	n/a
F	"Superhero Movie deserves a special place in the burning fires of Hell, where lazy writing, insipid direction, and an unforgivable eagerness towards bottom-feeding stupidity can roast along with the rest of the spoof genre's recent offerings." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 28, 2008	Superhero Movie! (2008)	15%
B	"Schwimmer is wise to keep his camera trained on Pegg at all times, as the actor can make any sequence worthwhile with his unexpected, jittery retorts and reactions." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
B	"Much like Las Vegas itself, it's only fun in fits, and the next morning you might find yourself regretting spending time with something comprised entirely of surface delights." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
D	"Stop-Loss features cartoonish lessons on disillusionment and irksome actors trying to blue-steel the crap out of each other. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
B	"Blindsight is an undeniably engrossing, heart-tugging documentary, rightfully departing at critical intervals from heroics to simply extol the wonders of the spirit. " -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	100%
B+	"A pleasurable feature film that can't help but fall in love with these perennial losers...narrated with wonderful highball sincerity by David Duchovny." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Quantum Hoops (2007)	85%
B+	"It's a satisfying picture enhanced by a few great sequences, and proves there's still plenty of life in heist cinema." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 27, 2008	Flawless (2007)	62%
A-	"Watching these well-known stories retold with fresh, innovative angles creates a very special, educational experience - absolute pure gold to anyone who has ever followed these careers with unabashed admiration." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Mar 24, 2008	Fog City Mavericks (2007)	n/a
B+	"Adam Carolla isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the man can sling around an acidic one-liner with the best of them, and his starring debut is a familiar, but persuasively funny brew of clich�s and belly laughs." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 23, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	74%
D+	"Perry might be out to create a community spirit in theaters across the country, but, again, that doesn't excuse his thick-fingered mangling of dramatic expression and his questionable taste in racial caricatures. Meet the Browns is a stinker." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 21, 2008	Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)	30%
D+	"A dreary parade of the familiar...unrelentingly boring and needlessly unimaginative." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 20, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
B-	"I don't know whether to laugh or cry when considering that the best moments within this Owen Wilson comedy are the times when Owen Wilson is nowhere near it." -- BrianOrndorf.com Posted Mar 20, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
B	"*It's not a perfect movie. At times, it's not even a movie. Yet the overall taste Boarding Gate* leaves behind is intriguing enough to appreciate the whole elongated enterprise.*" -- BrianOrndorf.com* Posted Mar 19, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
