Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
2.5/4	" As much of a hoot as the movie is, it feels like just an exercise well before it ends." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)	58%
3/4	" It's sharp and outrageously funny enough to keep it from coming off like a self-righteous screed and to keep Maher from looking like the Michael Moore of religion -- for the most part." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	66%
2.5/4	" A relaxed, sweetly amusing little indie effort that'll make you want to hang out with its inhabitants, except with better snack food than they have." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Humboldt County (2008)	64%
2/4	" There's a lot going on in Choke, and it may be more than first-time director Clark Gregg can handle." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
2.5/4	" Fans of Gervais' awkward, caustic brand of humor should be pleased to see him in a big Hollywood movie that'll make him more of a household name." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
2/4	" A racial thriller that may be the feel-bad movie of the summer." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	42%
1.5/4	" Too much about the movie is just amateurish." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Cthulhu (2008)	44%
1.5/4	" What a waste." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	23%
3/4	" A cruelly, insanely hilarious comedy populated with imbeciles whose appetites lead to giant helpings of Just Desserts." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
2.5/4	" *First-time director Jeffrey Nachmanoff, known for The Day After Tomorrow* script, wrote the screenplay. Of all people, Steve Martin came up with the idea. It is neither wild nor crazy.*" Posted Aug 27, 2008*	Traitor (2008)	53%
2/4	" Death Race should at least score points for its title, which is more apt than, say, Feelings Exploration. It's mostly a race, and there's a lot of death." Posted Aug 21, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
2/4	" *The new feature-length Star Wars* cartoon is so cute that I want to hug it. Tightly. Until it stops breathing.*" Posted Aug 14, 2008*	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
	" Maybe I'd have thought this buddy-action-comedy was funnier and more exciting if I were as baked as its two heroes." Posted Aug 5, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
1/4	" *If movies were people, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor* would be a total bimbo: nice-looking and kind of fun sometimes, but so unbearably empty and dumb that it doesn't matter.*" Posted Aug 1, 2008*	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
2.5/4	" *If learning about other cultures shows that we're all basically alike, Operation Filmmaker* is a reminder that foreign countries have their own share of nitwits, too.*" Posted Jul 25, 2008*	Operation Filmmaker (2008)	92%
1.5/4	" An import non-thriller so enigmatic and subtle that it's inert." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Yella (2008)	80%
3/4	" Director Guillermo del Toro is a mad genius, and I want to get drunk with him." Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
2.5/4	" Director Timur Bekmambetov's gimmicks and the A-list cast sell the nonsense." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
1.5/4	" *Despite what seemed (in the trailers, at least) like inspired casting of Steve Carell, the perpetrators of Get Smart* almost entirely miss what made the Cold War TV spy comedy funny.*" Posted Jun 20, 2008*	Get Smart (2008)	52%
3/4	" *The relaunch of Marvel's green goliath is an improvement over director Ang Lee's ponderous 2003 Hulk* in nearly every way.*" Posted Jun 13, 2008*	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
1.5/4	" *The directorial debut of Pursuit of Happyness* writer Steve Conrad, The Promotion carries a deadpan corporate-absurd whiff of Office Space but never quite scans.*" Posted Jun 13, 2008*	The Promotion (2008)	47%
2/4	" Some bits fall flat well before they're driven into the ground, such as when Simmons tries to seduce a new female student. Others are painfully telegraphed so that when the payoff arrives, you've anticipated the blow and have become inured to it." Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	57%
2.5/4	" Even though it may seem a long haul at just 85 minutes, it pays off by the time things finally start spiraling into hell." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
2.5/4	" *[It's] the most ridiculously cartoonish of the four flicks -- but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull* is still a lot of fun anyway.*" Posted May 21, 2008*	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
3/4	" Dujardin is what really makes it all work, though. He's an absolute riot, with Conneryesque looks and physicality, and the ability to segue into utter goofballery with a degree of arch-browed suaveness." Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
3.5/4	" David Mamet's take on the trendy new world of mixed martial arts is a gem not quite like anything I've seen before — a smart, absorbing, anti-Hollywood, hypermacho look at what it is to be a true martial artist and a man." Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	70%
3/4	" *The payoff of casting Downey is as big as the risk. He's not in the movie, he owns* it in a way that makes it hard to imagine without him.*" Posted May 1, 2008*	Iron Man (2008)	93%
2/4	" It's as if the filmmakers were doing something that impaired their concentration and made them lose focus on something they started." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
1.5/4	" Uh, Pakistan. Roll credits." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
2.5/4	" It might take a Zen master to explain exactly what audience this is aimed at." Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
1.5/4	" However benign you may think its subject is, Super High Me is proof that stoned people are rarely as funny as they think they are, just the same as your coked-up friends are never as interesting as they think they sound." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Super High Me (2008)	57%
2/4	" The potential match made in crime heaven has some admirably gritty action but suffers from first-degree obviousness and some bad dialogue that's especially painful when it comes out of Keanu Reeves." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
2/4	" *Tere's nothing edgy or new about Run, Fat Boy, Run." Posted Mar 28, 2008*	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	49%
2/4	" It's well-constructed and acted, but mainly just left me feeling like I needed a shower after an exercise in voyeurism surrounding an event that's still hard to watch." Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
.5/4	" To describe the film might imbue it with a coherence to which it doesn't aspire." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Funky Forest: The First Contact (2005)	n/a
1.5/4	" Are you complicit for watching the stuff? Would you be less of a jerk if you walked out? Is [Haneke] wallowing in the thing he's critiquing and consequently a bigger jerk?" Posted Mar 14, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
3.5/4	" Blending suspense, humor, period detail, interesting characters and bringing together a complex plot in an immensely satisfying way, [director Roger] Donaldson really pulled one off this time." Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
2.5/4	" I laughed from start to finish at its relentlessly, energetically profane absurdity and a cast crammed with funny actors in even the smallest roles." Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
2/4	" A whole lot of teleporting [with] a story that seems unfinished." Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
3.5/4	" *A kind of eccentric, wisecracking Waiting for Godot* that shifts gears into a bloody, unpredictable action spectacle that never loses its heart.*" Posted Feb 8, 2008*	In Bruges (2008)	81%
2.5/4	" Unfortunately, the four comics on the road trip are about on the level of your average Last Comic Standing contestant -- competent and just mildly funny, but unremarkable. Definitely no future Bill Hicks or Richard Pryor in the lot." Posted Feb 8, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
1/4	" [The] castration scenes aren't nearly as excruciating as his awkward timing and worse-than-obvious pacing." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Teeth (2008)	82%
2/4	" A grim, hyperviolent send-off that could give you post-traumatic stress disorder." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Rambo (2008)	37%
3/4	" It's a giant-monster movie from the point of view of some of those little people running and shrieking in the street -- and it works incredibly well." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
3.5/4	" *Up to now, director Paul Thomas Anderson's work has diminished with each film since Boogie Nights,* but Blood is a maturation and reinvention.*" Posted Jan 4, 2008*	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
2/4	" Resolved: No more movies can have inspiring, self-sacrificing teachers standing on desks." Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
1/4	" It ranges from awkward to excruciating." Posted Dec 14, 2007	The Amateurs (2007)	17%
1.5/4	" *It looks like poor old Richard Matheson will go to his grave without ever seeing a movie that does justice to his great 1954 novel, I Am Legend." Posted Dec 13, 2007*	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
1.5/4	" It's an irritating, repetitive and pretentious psycho-metaphysical con-job that's ultimately about transcending the ego, and it owes a significant debt to the 1960s The Prisoner TV show -- but isn't nearly in the same artistic league." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Revolver (2007)	16%
2/4	" It's hard to watch, and should be. But harder for other reasons. As an experiment in storytelling, it's mainly tedious and phony." Posted Nov 30, 2007	Redacted (2007)	43%
