4/10	"Clearly, the powers behind this convenient cash grab can't see the real reason Star Wars remains culturally significant. The Clone Wars is proof that, in some people's minds, it's nothing more than an easily reconfigured revenue stream." -- PopMatters Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
3/10	"Vicky Christina Barcelona is really nothing more than rich people bitching. Now where exactly is the fun in that?" -- PopMatters Posted Aug 15, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	80%
2.5/5	"This director deals in faces and facts, the camera closing in on his actors so they can deliver their big picture pronouncements while crying on cue." -- Filmcritic.com Posted Aug 14, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	37%
4/5	"an unapologetically brazen celluloid slur -- that is, of course, if you get what it's going for" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Aug 12, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
3/5	"horrific, and quite honorable" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Aug 11, 2008	Pumpkinhead (1988)	56%
4.5/5	"*While previous Cinematic Titanic wonders like The Oozing Skull* really delivered on the new series' promise, Wasp Woman finally feels like home.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Aug 10, 2008	The Wasp Woman (1960)	40%
4/5	"There is something primal, almost unconsciously unnerving about what Iskanov accomplishes here. We've seen these kind of ersatz exploitation beats before. But this time, they seem to have the aesthetic power to stick." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 10, 2008	Philosophy of a Knife ()	n/a
1.5/5	"*It's too bad that Dead and Gone* couldn't live up to its potential and promises. Of course, it probably never intended to in the first place. Or it could be that it just never had any.*" -- DVDTalk.com* Posted Aug 10, 2008	Dead and Gone (2007)	n/a
4.5/5	"(T)he kind of movie that feels like the direct result of brainwashing techniques and a weekend at the People's Temple in Jonestown, Guyana (complimentary Kool-Aid included)" -- DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 10, 2008	Forbidden Zone (1980)	83%
2/5	"Hell Ride comes off as a Devil's Rejects reject." -- PopMatters Posted Aug 8, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	9%
3/5	"a satisfying, if slightly syrupy entertainment" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Aug 7, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	48%
1.5/5	"this celebration of a giant leap for mankind is really just a small, insignificant step for film fans." -- Filmcritic.com Posted Aug 7, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
4.5/5	"*In a category that is growing in greatness exponentially, the stunning documentary Pete Seeger: The Power of Song* ... brilliantly immortalizes an already living legend*" -- PopMatters* Posted Aug 7, 2008	Pete Seeger - The Power of Song (2007)	95%
4/5	"*Wonderfully vulgar, brilliantly performed, and accented with action reminiscent of an '80s buddy film, Pineapple Express* is one late summer success.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Aug 5, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
2.5/5	"*Stripped of all its summer swelter and hip hip revisionism, The Wackness* is really just another in a long line of quirky indie character studies.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
1.5/5	"a slipshod spectacle" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
3.5/5	"(T)hanks to the performances of actors Michael Sheen and David Morrissey, we gain the kind of insights we couldn't glean from a newspaper or a Parliamentary transcript." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 27, 2008	The Deal (2003)	n/a
2/5	"*Apparently, even the individuals behind the film recognize how redundant Doomsday* is, going so far as to point out the far better examples it rips off in order to achieve its throwback tedium.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 27, 2008	Doomsday (2008)	48%
4/5	"...this is the kind of kung fu spectacle that turns the novice into a fan and the knowledgeable into something akin to rabid." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 27, 2008	Twin Warriors (1993)	83%
4/5	"Merchant/Ivory with a fastidious political viewpoint" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	69%
3.5/5	"*It's hard to deny how absolutely hilarious Step Brothers* really is. You may feel guilty as Hell for laughing at it, but it definitely does earn its cheap and childish giggles*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	50%
3/5	"*In a summer that's seen its fair share of outsized spectacle, everything about X-Files: I Want to Believe* is somber, subdued, and in the end rather minor.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 25, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
1.5/5	" If ever there was a poster child for the end of Western J-Horror (and other Asian country) adaptations, this movie is it. Not only does it offer every cliche in the genre's status, it proves how pathetic they are in our present cinematic context." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
2.5/5	"Van Helsing violates the first rule of fantasy filmmaking - it takes a relatively intriguing premise and pisses it away early and often." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Van Helsing (2004)	22%
4/5	"The sparkling independent effort Imagination is anything but a limp Lifetime movie, avoiding all the cliches within this type of narrative while investing the film with a far amount of invention and insigh" -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Imagination (2007)	n/a
5/5	"*Like a symphony where every note is exactly where it needs to be, or a painting without a brushstroke wasted, The Dark Knight* is an unabashed, unashamedly great film.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
3/5	"flash-foiled by motion picture incompetence" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
1.5/5	"consistently goes for the cheap laughs, mining way too many jokes out of puns, pratfalls, and the occasional reference to poop (these are apes, after all)" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 17, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	33%
2/5	"Steel Trap is the kind of film that substitutes creepy locations for plotting, and the slightest smatterings of gore in place of anything suspenseful or scary." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 13, 2008	Steel Trap (2007)	n/a
3.5/5	"*With its amazing bug footage, and psychobabble scripting, it's The Hellstrom Chronicle* (an obvious influence) taken into Twilight Zone territory*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 12, 2008	Phase IV (1973)	n/a
2.5/5	"Sole Survivor should be re-titled Slow Survivor. This so-called horror movie meanders along at such a sluggish snail's pace that the elderly laugh at its laborious tempo as they lap it." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Sole Survivor (1982)	n/a
3/5	"*As it chugs along like a novice marathon runner aware of its inability to win the race, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D* does nothing to dissuade us from its earnest need to entertain.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
5/5	"This is big screen fantasy as a wish fulfillment free for all, a far out fairytale told in the most intricate of celluloid calligraphy." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
2/5	"only first-trimester zygotes will find this funny" -- Filmcritic.com Posted Jul 10, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
4.5/5	"...the best thing about Poison Sweethearts - among a wealth of motion picture positives - is how knowledgeable it is about the old school sexual shill. It's one of the best attempted throwbacks ever." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 5, 2008	Poison Sweethearts (2008)	n/a
3/5	"*That's why, aside from all the maudlin mush and animal-oriented manipulation, The Optimists* still works. Without our lead's amazing turn, the film would barely fly. Thanks to Sellers, it soars.*" -- DVDTalk.com* Posted Jul 5, 2008	The Optimists (1973)	n/a
4/5	"The Doomsday Machine marks a MST3K Season 4 level challenge. At one point, Frank Conniff states exasperatedly that this experience is like 'watching someone else watching Manos: The Hands of Fate'." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Doomsday Machine (1967)	n/a
2/5	"Any storyline that thinks smearing soup in someone's face is the height of anti-social behavior clearly needs remanding to a series of lessons about real life. But then nothing about American Punks is all that authentic to begin with." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	American Punks (1997)	n/a
4/5	"The Ruins is the kind of film that stays with you, playing over and over in your mind like a sickening glimpse of cinematic snuff." -- DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	46%
2.5/5	"The Children of Huang Shi is so desperate to be the Asian Schindler's List, an example of atrocity draped in abject artistry, that it forgets to lay out the context." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 1, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	27%
3/5	"Hancock is either a brilliant disaster or an often uneven masterwork." -- PopMatters Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
3/5	"*It may not be a dense, delectable treat, but while it's around, Definitely, Maybe* is pleasant enough.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 29, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
3/5	"...just like other talent transplants, something here is not quite right. It's still fascinating to watch it almost fail, however." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 29, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
5/5	"WALLE* announces yet another massive leap in technological talent for the fabled filmmakers, a textural, tactile quality that continues to push CG 3D into uncharted artistic arenas." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
4/5	"In some ways, Standard Operating Procedure is too appalling to appreciate. It's like watching the Nuremberg Trials, Nazis purposefully passing the buck higher and higher up, fully aware that no one above a certain rank is around to take the blame." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 26, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
4.5/5	"*"...if they're not careful, those Marvel superheroes better watch out. Wanted* could usurp their position as 2008's best popcorn escape.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
3.5/5	"*Like an old school Outer Limits episode given a surreal Japanese twist, Long Dream...never excuses its made for TV frontiers." -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 22, 2008	Long Dream (2000)	n/a
3.5/5	"*Built out of character, not crudity, and wonderfully uplifting without being maudlin or pat, The Hammer...is actually quite accomplished." -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 22, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	70%
3.5/5	"*If ambience were indicative of brilliance, Stuart Simpson's Demons Among Us* would be genius.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Jun 21, 2008	Demons Among Us (2008)	n/a
3/5	"Offensive Behaviour is the kind of film that offers a fairly balanced collection of positives and negatives. How you gauge the balance will definitely decide your personal entertainment fate." -- PopMatters Posted Jun 21, 2008	Offensive Behaviour (2008)	n/a
