""Redbelt" is a smart and stirring drama in which the intellectual conflicts turn out to be almost as exciting as the more visceral physical ones." -- eFilmCritic.com

"The end result is easily the worst romantic comedy that you will find in theaters this weekend (or possibly this year) and yes, I am fully aware that "Made of Honor" is still playing." -- eFilmCritic.com

"135 minutes of noisy, infantile and shockingly boring mind rot that will inspire only partial epilepsy in viewers whose ages remain in the single digits and complete ennui in those who have passed the big 1-0." -- eFilmCritic.com

"The single funniest joke in this entire derivative thing comes right at the very beginning when the opening credits reveal that one of the entities involved with its production is named "Original Films."" -- eFilmCritic.com

Made of Honor (2008)12%

4/5
 
"A slightly-better-than-average popcorn epic featuring a performance from Downey that is so funny and inventive and entertaining that he pretty much winds up carrying the entire movie on his shoulders." -- eFilmCritic.com

Iron Man (2008)93%

""My Blueberry Nights" is perhaps the most deliriously entertaining thing that Wong has ever made, at least since the equally rapturous "Chungking Express."" -- eFilmCritic.com

"I can only hope that when the DVD comes out, it includes some hidden camera footage of Harvey Weinstein's immediate reaction when he saw the finished film for the first time and discovered exactly what he wound up paying so much money for." -- eFilmCritic.com

" The best part of "Zombie Strippers" may be the moment in line when you confidently stroll up to the ticket counter and proudly announce that yes, you will be purchasing one ticket for "Zombie Strippers."" -- eFilmCritic.com

"The only mystery here is why Pacino would have chosen to lend his talents to a project of an artistic level that most people would more readily associate with the likes of Michael Pare about ten years ago or Robert De Niro today." -- eFilmCritic.com

"The only ending that I can think of that these characters deserve would be to have the guys from Funny Games arrive at the cabin to inquire about the availability of some eggs." -- eFilmCritic.com

Chaos Theory (2008)30%

""Priceless" is a film that appears to have been made to answer the question "How far can a movie get along with nothing going for it but the irrepressible charm of Audrey Tautou?" The answer, it turns out, is "pretty far."" -- eFilmCritic.com

"These are all good and talented actors and it is difficult to understand why such smart people would make such foolish choices by agreeing to appear in a film that was so far beneath those talents." -- eFilmCritic.com

"The James Ellroy that I know and admire wouldn't concoct a storyline that is so crashingly obvious that virtually every member of the audience will have sussed out who is at the bottom of the conspiracy at least an hour before it finally dawns on our hero" -- eFilmCritic.com

"The characters are so one-note and unlikable that most viewers will find themselves looking forward to their grisly demises because it means that they won't be annoying us anymore." -- eFilmCritic.com

"A slick, soulless nightmare of a film with the moral center of a porno flick and a central character so shallow, loathsome and uninteresting that you keep hoping that the guys from "Funny Games" will show up and give him exactly what he deserves." -- eFilmCritic.com

Superhero Movie! (2008)15%

2/5
 
"It is essentially a one-joke premise and while it might have played beautifully as a 30-minute short subject, there just isn't enough to it to sustain itself as a 90-minute feature." -- eFilmCritic.com

Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
4/5
 
"It is kind of a shame that it isn't getting a wider distribution because it is precisely the kind of intelligent adult entertainment that people are always complaining isn't being made anymore." -- eFilmCritic.com

Flawless (2007)62%
/
2/5
 
"Outside of a couple of moments of self-conscious shock humor, the most surprising thing about the film is how square it really is." -- eFilmCritic.com

Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)48%

5/5
 
"A strangely exhilarating and undeniably powerful work of American cinema that is sure to go down as one of the very best films of the year." -- eFilmCritic.com

Snow Angels (2008)68%
/
1/5
 
"The only real point of comparison between this film and previous Apatow efforts is that this film also has a running time that is far too long for its own good" -- eFilmCritic.com

Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%

"None of the millions of dollars in cutting-edge animation and high-priced talent have managed to come up with anything quite approximating the charms and delights that Dr. Seuss was able to conjure up in just a handful of storybook pages." -- eFilmCritic.com

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)78%
/
1/5
 
"It feels at times that the only thing that hasn't been appropriated is the Filthiest Toilet in Scotland from "Trainspotting," though it is filled with the decidedly unpleasant substance found on, near and in said receptacle" -- eFilmCritic.com
Posted Mar 15, 2008
 
Doomsday (2008)41%

4/5
 
"A fascinating meditation on the commercialization of violence in popular culture that will shock even the most jaded moviegoers into contemplating what they look for in mass entertainment." -- eFilmCritic.com

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)76%

"This may well be the first prehistoric epic in which the liberal deployment of such words as "oog," "agh" and "uck" would have actually improved the screenplay considerably." -- eFilmCritic.com

10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
1/5
 
"Some viewers may find its self-conscious eccentricities to be somehow charming but if you put this film in a contest against other contemporary fairy tales, it wouldn't come close to winning%u2013not even by a nose." -- eFilmCritic.com

Penelope (2008)53%

"A bit of a mess but it is such an energetic and ambitious mess that it winds up capturing the energy and feel of its subject better than a more staid approach to the material possibly could have achieved." -- eFilmCritic.com

Chicago 10 (2008)77%

1/5
 
"When the executioner finally makes his appearance at the end, it will probably inspire the kind of delirious relief and good cheer from audiences that is usually only experienced when Christopher Walken makes an unexpected cameo" -- eFilmCritic.com

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)41%
/
3/5
 
"I don't want to come down too hard on "The Signal" because while I don't think that it ultimately works in the end, it is far more ambitious in both concept and execution than the majority of contemporary American horror efforts" -- eFilmCritic.com

The Signal (2007)55%

4/5
 
"I liked the various ways in which Gondry utilized his essentially absurdist conceit as an ingenious way of exploring how people relate in deeply personal ways to the power of cinema" -- eFilmCritic.com

Be Kind Rewind (2008)65%
/
2/5
 
"Smug, painfully unoriginal and about as hip and edgy as a trip to Sears." -- eFilmCritic.com

Charlie Bartlett (2007)52%
/
2/5
 
"It starts off strong but quickly becomes so contrived and repetitive that by the time it finally lumbers to its deeply unsatisfying and ludicrously melodramatic finale, you feel like an idiot for having wasted your time watching it" -- eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)37%
/
1/5
 
"A brainless piece of product that is so utterly devoid of anything not concerned with the idea of separating 12-year-olds from their allowance that it makes the Hannah Montana infomercial/movie seem like "There Will Be Blood" by comparison" -- eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 15, 2008
 
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)27%
/
5/5
 
"As formally dazzling, thematically resonant and darkly funny as anything that Romero has ever done before and yes, there are even plenty of satisfyingly icky moments to behold as well." -- eFilmCritic.com

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)60%

1/5
 
"It plays exactly like a trailer that has been stretched out to 88 minutes%u2013all money shots with no story or engaging characters to tie them together" -- eFilmCritic.com

""The Spiderwick Chronicles" is a modest and reasonably charming example of a genre that isn't exactly renowned for modesty or charm." -- eFilmCritic.com

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)79%

5/5
 
"Writer-director Christian Mungiu has made the choice to let the material play out in a calm and even-handed manner in the hopes that the despair and barely-contained anger that he is trying to convey will come through without having to underline them." -- eFilmCritic.com

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)96%

""Taxi to the Dark Side" takes a vast and potentially confusing subject and discovers the simple truths that have been largely obscured in a mass of details, sloppy reporting and general disinterest." -- eFilmCritic.com

"It may be a Tarantino knock-off in the end but it is one of the most entertaining Tarantino knock-offs that I can recall seeing in recent memory." -- eFilmCritic.com
