Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 3%	Deal (2008)	" Cares about poker just a bit more than it cares about the characters, and the movie doesn't give a shit about its characters." — UR Chicago Magazine Posted Apr 24, 2008

Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 88%	Young@Heart (2008)	" We get to know these folks, their love for life and performing -- and yes, we even start to see them as more than a mere novelty act." — UR Chicago Magazine Posted Mar 27, 2008

Rotten 1/4	Rotten 9%	10,000 B.C. (2008)	" The kind of movie that people will discover new and hilarious ways to mock for years to come." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Mar 6, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 77%	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	" *Director Bharat Nalluri keeps the misunderstandings and ruses of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day* going at a quick tempo.*" — UR Chicago Magazine* Posted Feb 28, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 76%	City of Men (2008)	" Works pretty well as melodrama against a legitimately dramatic backdrop." — UR Chicago Magazine Posted Feb 28, 2008
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 35%	Vantage Point (2008)	" Trying, monotonous, and not anywhere near as relevant or clever as it imagines itself to be, Vantage Point proves once again that while it's easy to rely on a gimmick, it's usually not the best idea to trust it." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 21, 2008
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 60%	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	" A fine concept executed with disappointing ends." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 17, 2008

Rotten 1/4	Rotten 15%	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	" The top-billed star of Over Her Dead Body dies within five minutes of her first appearance, and if the majority of the other characters in the movie suffered a similar fate, I wouldn't have complained much." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 5, 2008
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 92%	U2 3D (2008)	" A 60-foot IMAX screen showing a 60-foot Bono on a screen at the concert might be a new definition of kitsch." — Movie Insider Posted Jan 31, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 54%	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	" Neither feels authentically like high school nor decides on an appropriate tone." — Movie Insider Posted Jan 31, 2008

Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 36%	Rambo (2008)	" Has the gritty realism of the first film and a sadder mood for our hero but still continues Rambo as a soldier for hire involved in a standard plot." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Jan 24, 2008

Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 22%	Mad Money (2008)	" That the movie can't decide if it wants them to get away with it is even more irritating, but that's probably because I didn't care either way." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Jan 17, 2008
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 77%	Cloverfield (2008)	" A time capsule of our current fears displaced onto our nightmares." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Jan 17, 2008

Rotten 0/4	Rotten 13%	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	" Not so much a movie as much as it is a series of blurs and shapes moving quickly across a screen." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 79%	The Great Debaters (2007)	" A movie about ideas that's a bit too timid to actually be about them." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 27, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 32%	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	" Familiarity doesn't breed contempt here, but it's so familiar as to keep us from getting caught up in the scavenger hunt this time around." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 23, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 75%	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	" So is it a satire or a spoof?" — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 85%	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	" The material, a Gothic yarn of bloody revenge, seems specially suited for the macabre hand of Tim Burton, but alas, such is not the case." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 89%	The Savages (2007)	" Predictably unconventional, indulgently metafictional, and hesitant about going for its alluded intentions." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 21%	P.S. I Love You (2007)	" Has its occasional oddball charms, but it is also ultimately conventional ... and pandering to go along with them." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 93%	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	" Julian Schnabel's telling of the story is ingenious." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 81%	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	" A lean and tight insider's look at the absurdity, deceit, and artifice of politics." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 20, 2007
N/A	Fresh 60%	Grace is Gone (2007)	" War Torn: John Cusack continues to make good with his latest role" — UR Chicago Magazine INTERVIEW Posted Dec 19, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 66%	The Kite Runner (2007)	" Manipulative filmmaking, to be sure, but director Marc Forster manipulates us so well, we overlook the fact in the viewing and forgive it in the memory." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 15, 2007
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 94%	Lake of Fire (2007)	" Demands we throw out our preconceived notions and face the issue without walls to protect us." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 14, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	Juno (2007)	" Could have played up the subversive, satirical possibilities of the scenario, but [Diablo Cody's] first script is too smart, her affection for her characters too strong, to mistreat the story and its inhabitants so." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 69%	I Am Legend (2007)	" Feels like a false start allowed to run the length of the track. There's an effort, but nothing is really accomplished." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 60%	Grace is Gone (2007)	" True in its core depiction of a man dealing with limitless sorrow." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007

Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 83%	Atonement (2007)	" I'm sure it works on the page, but on screen, it gets clunky, especially in the epilogue, which hardly packs the intended emotional punch as a result." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 6, 2007
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 21%	Fred Claus (2007)	" There are no laughs from the material, which wants to be edgy but can't go for broke because it's too busy being a trifling piece of holiday cheer but without the cheer." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 1, 2007
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 15%	Hitman (2007)	" The movie isn't bad; it's just all too familiar." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Nov 29, 2007
