	"David Strathairn's Finn is the nearly broken, perplexed, downcast, and also oddly humorous Chaplinesque figure, whose own transformative experienced 'sensation of sight' imparts a tentative metaphorical healing vision of a restored life." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 20, 2008	The Sensation of Sight (2008)	n/a
	"Can a frustrated actor pen a Hamlet sequel reviving dead characters via a time machine with Jesus, Einstein and Hillary Clinton? If this daring, irreverent social satire has its say, those lunatic possibilities may prove just that on screen." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 16, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	81%
	"The film effectively locks down a literally captive audience, and the eerie images of the mystical, tempestuous Oregon coast are both stunning and nerve shredding for the entire bewitching duration." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 14, 2008	Cthulhu (2008)	n/a
	"Less a conventional mob drama than a slice of life tragi-comic interlude between bouts of mafia mayhem, the movie boasts a flavorful, zesty mosaic of old and new faces stirred into the mix, including Sopranos wise guy vets." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 13, 2008	Lucky Man (2007)	n/a
	"Five Moments Of Infidelity: Sustains a gentle compassion for most of its characters, however flawed, as Gorman's female perspective on matters of the heart gives a rare equal emotional weight to female delusions and desires." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 10, 2008	Infidelity (2005)	n/a
	"A rich tapestry of O'Day's evolution as a profoundly expressive and charismatic jazz artist who explored the enormous range of her vocal gifts across the many decades with an astonishing imaginative subversion of any musical status quo." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 10, 2008	Anita O'Day - The Life Of A Music Legend (2008)	100%
	"The emotionally fragile foursome try out higher education for size, along with those transient pants. Sex And The UniverCity Meets My Big Fat Greek Shotgun Wedding." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 5, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
	"Miraculously fusing the scary and ridiculous, 'Freddy Kreuger' Englund steals this show, whether steamed up from that bad plumbing, dealing with complications of male pregnancy, or weirdly delighting as the reluctant glutton just eating your heart out." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 3, 2008	Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008)	63%
	"With Costner's yokel having a decided preference for being handed a beer rather than a ballot, he does a pretty darn good job of exposing the phony platitudes and pandering of candidates, in a movie about bad news politicians and even badder parenting." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 3, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	40%
	"Dorff, who was last spotted as a scary sexual sadist in Shadowboxer, gives a mesmerizing performance evolving from stunned civilian to brutalized inmate and dangerous prison thug, then transforming into a tested man who rediscovers his own humanity." -- NewsBlaze Posted Aug 1, 2008	Felon (2008)	59%
	"A Sisterhood Of The Homemade Pants for the female small fry set." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 31, 2008	Holly Hobbie & Friends - Best Friends Forever ()	n/a
	"Garbarski combines social satire, hand jobs, feminism, and romantic grace to create a tenderhearted tale of found love and female empowerment. And he actually pulls it off, give the guy a hand. On second thought..." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 30, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	72%
	"There's enough inventive hairy chested Peter Pan pretend preteen malice and ballsy kid impersonation, to sustain the laughs for the duration. Think Superbad with ample doses of talking dirty sibling revelry." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 27, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	50%
	"Despite all the wild and icky antics, this is in no way your typical gross-out. Because the spotlight is less on crude easy laughs, than a genuine feel for the Chaplinesque proletarian plight of a worker just trying to find dignity in an unfeeling world." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 26, 2008	Kenny (2008)	100%
	"While blockbusters ooze testosterone and claim bragging rights to macho action heroes beating their hairy chests, way in the background is a lineup of sweet little indies like this one, with sensitive guys wearing their hearts on their sleeves instead." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 25, 2008	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	88%
	"An eco-supernatural dreamscape companion piece to Al Gore's cautionary doc, An Incovenient Truth, and a thinking man's figurative and literal sub-Arctic chiller with a turbulent character-driven indie soul." -- Baret News Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Last Winter (2007)	78%
	"Treating card playing as an exciting spectator sport rather than, say, about as thrilling as watching fishing for two hours, this offbeat cautionary tale warns all those impulsive casino-bound eggheads out there, that losers come in all IQ's." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 23, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
	"Out of control desires like sex, food and emotional neediness intertwine with their opposites of starvation, abstinence, denial, shame and self-hatred throughout this raw and revealing, intensely intimate drama." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 20, 2008	Disfigured (2008)	80%
	"Without question one of the most demonic, pure incarnations of nightmarish instant classic movie villains, Heath Ledger's Joker self-mutilated danger junkie, misery loves company chaos freak in hellish warpaint may be gone, but will never be forgotten." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 20, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
	"There's a neat free spirit versus family values message here, about a dad being no big deal when you can have three. Not to mention that family is more about who loves you, than whatever does or doesn't dangle between their legs." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 20, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
	"CSNY fires up this rousing rockumentary, the camera's rough cut tendencies not withstanding. In other words, call me stuff like geriatric and bloated - as malice-minded talking head reporters do - but whatever you do, don't diss my peace activism." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 19, 2008	CSNY D�j� Vu (2008)	63%
	"The shots of the terrible ruins encircling these damaged lives, are poetically haunting in their stirring minimalism. With the urbanite protagonist perhaps representing an uncaring nation, that has abandoned the rural poor in their hour of need." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 19, 2008	Wonderful Town (2008)	91%
	"A prison sex slave rebellion having to do with an organ sandwich, don't ask, and a detour over to Bush's secret sex den, make this ballsy doper duo and their Blue State versus Red State rant hard to resist." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 18, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	55%
	"A lighthearted treat for pint-sized moviegoers with tender tastes, featuring a clownish slacker living in the shadow of his famous astronaut dad, who learns to stop monkeying around and be a capable chimp off the old block." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	33%
	"Sex sells feeling bad about yourself, from designer vaginas to canine testicle implants, in this indignantly passionate, don't believe the deadly hype documentary." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 17, 2008	America The Beautiful (2008)	76%
	"Canary Review: With the Tokyo sarin gas subway attacks as allegory, this is a searing indictment of a society that may have lost sight of adult responsibility for their youth, its most precious human resources." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 15, 2008	Canary Season (1993)	n/a
	"This richly layered allegorical clash between a criminal and a communist, pits the urge for survival despite one's debasement, against defiance, collective rebellion and martyrdom - the very impulses that advance history, but at enormous cost." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 13, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
	"This investigative literal and figurative global chain reaction appears to be yet another exceptionally worthy addition to the evolving genre of what may be termed anti-globalization cinema." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 12, 2008	Mardi Gras: Made in China (2005)	68%
	"Though hard to swallow much of this slanted overview, it goes down easy due to Noonan's charismatic force of personality, however unpleasant. But it's less about insight into the gangsta life, than a glimpse into a thug's action hero fantasy world." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 9, 2008	A Very British Gangster (2008)	67%
	"Brendan Fraser's playful force of personality rules, 3D or no 3D, one of the few funny guys who could grab attention away from a dinosaur in assault mode, in the center of the earth or anywhere else on the planet." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 8, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
	"Kent MacKenzie's 1961 groundbreaking classic about Native American urban alienation, unfolds like an Edwin Hopper painting in motion as intimate noirish voiceover soliloquies of these three troubled protagonists." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 8, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	89%
	"This poetic slice of life conveys the way historical memory impacts upon the present, as these troubled Native American youths converge on a hilltop, singing the enduring musical traditions of the old rez culture that binds them, back to life." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 5, 2008	Shadows In Paradise: Hitler's Exiles In Hollywood (1990)	n/a
	"Abigail's older brother Spencer Breslin, does his own magnificent Little Mister Sunshine leading boy thing. Harold, a kinder, gentler Superbad minus the talking dirty teen motormouths. Move over, Judd Apatow." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 5, 2008	Harold (2008)	25%
	"Sex, Class and Ho Daddies: The criminalization of sexually abused and exploited ghetto girls in scathing documentary." -- Critical Women Posted Jul 5, 2008	Very Young Girls (2008)	70%
	"A superhero movie with soul, a magically endowed boozer, and quirky chemistry fueled between those two dramatic heavyweights, Will Smith and Charlize Theron, who go at it like Hillary and Obama duking it out at a presidential primary." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 3, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	"Donaldson spins an intricate web of toxic layers of elaborate subterfuge and deceit that keeps both the thieves and audience on their collective toes." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	79%
	"It has the odd but potent effect of revealing an ethereal aspect of the war experience that in its bleakness stirs the mind with far more elusive questions than answers. A tantalizing, visually lyrical elixir for those enamored of mystifying brain teasers" -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 28, 2008	La France (2007)	100%
	"A gem of a girl power tale for audiences of all genders, big and small, about a diminutive pre-feminist with a nose for news and an aversion to glass ceilings and the word 'no'." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 28, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"An affectionate buddy road movie about baseball, elder belligerence, and uneasy male bonding between two odd couple mentally challenged guys. And while one appears to have simply lost his mind, the other can't seem to keep track of his." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 26, 2008	Diminished Capacity (2008)	28%
	"Eco-toon romance blooms as WALL-E deposit a gift of love - a tiny plant - in EVE's, well, compartment, and rebel robot computers with much more to teach humankind than just sending emails. A Kidconvenient Truth." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
	"Surviving Guiliani Time wacked out on weirdness in an alternate universe, and with a chaser of cup runneth over raging hormones, in possibly the most explosively imaginative, edgy, brash and strangely poetic coming-of-age tale this year." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 26, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%

	"This whimsically crafted tale that manages to be simultaneously silly, surreal and wise beyond years, is a combo memory lane, reverse time travel road movie and thirtysomething boy bonding satire, plus flaky storytelling in the extreme." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 21, 2008	Full Grown Men (2008)	40%
	"Kevin Bacon turns in a solid, attention grabbing performance as a rigid, scornful man in a deep funk just trying to cling to a familiar world disintegrating all around him." -- NewsBlaze Posted Jun 20, 2008	Rails & Ties (2007)	34%
