	"A depressing but well-made adaptation of a Philip Roth novella by Spanish director Isabel Coixet." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 30, 2008	Elegy (2008)	71%
	"It�s Brian Cox�s powerful but low-key performance and an abiding respect for animals that can�t defend themselves that invest this simple, straightforward narrative with an understated passion that is unforgettable." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 30, 2008	Red (2008)	59%
	"Funny, animated, appealing in an aw-shucks sort of way, the star milks maximum impact from a unique body language that is refreshingly knock-kneed and bow-legged at the same time." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 30, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	40%
	"A marvelous, beautifully made, feel-good movie that is guaranteed to revive everyone�s flagging faith in American pride at home and abroad -- something in these sorry, perilous times we�re desperately short of." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 30, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	48%
	"Obscured by ugly, dark photography, a jumbled script, mumbled performances, and clueless direction that make it impossible to see or hear a lot of what�s going on even if you cared, the result is a film of monumental incompetence." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 23, 2008	Take (2008)	46%
	"*The film version of Evelyn Waugh�s Brideshead Revisited* transforms one of the quintessential novels of the 20th century into one of the grandest, most enriching films of 2008.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	69%
	"*The stuff that happens in a tense, taut new movie called Felon* is nothing less than electrifying.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Jul 16, 2008	Felon (2008)	59%
	"The Dark Knight is insurmountable fun." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
	"None of them can sing, and nothing they do looks natural. Rarely have I witnessed so many pros appear so clueless." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 16, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
	"The direction by somebody called Austin Chick gives the appearance of being phoned in from an Internet bar in another town." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 2, 2008	August (2008)	35%
	"A mutton-headed waste of time that is every bit as moronic and meaningless as its title." -- New York Observer Posted Jul 2, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
	"It�s dismaying to think of all the wonderful performances Edward Norton has given in movies nobody ever saw. This one is high-octane slumming that will keep him in Bentleys for years." -- New York Observer Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"For a movie with the potential for so much global-warming electricity, it�s disappointingly low on voltage." -- New York Observer Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"The movie and its pint-size star clear all hurdles subtly and valiantly with a surplus of charm, saving Kit Kittredge: American Girl from blandness and turning it into one of the summer�s most pleasing surprises." -- New York Observer Posted Jun 18, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"Chris & Don: A Love Story does what a good documentary should. It informs the mind and broadens the horizon while never losing its entertainment value." -- New York Observer Posted Jun 11, 2008	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)	93%
	"It certainly won�t be everyone�s cup of breakfast bitters, but you can�t dismiss it nonchalantly." -- New York Observer Posted Jun 11, 2008	Quid Pro Quo (2008)	66%
	"Mother-son incest, adultery, full-frontal nudity, murder and suicide may not lure summer ostriches hellbent on burying their brains in entertainments as forgettable as Chinese menus, but what a haunting experience they�ll miss." -- New York Observer Posted May 28, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	41%
	"Bottom line: a provocative, groundbreaking TV series that worked in 30-minute segments has been bloated and padded into nearly two and a half hours of tedium and gratuitous product placement for everything from Vuitton to a new Mercedes-Benz GLK." -- New York Observer Posted May 28, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"War, Inc. was non-directed by Joshua Seftel, who is to film direction what Marvel Comics is to classical literature. It was filmed in Bulgaria -- and they should never have allowed it out of the country." -- New York Observer Posted May 21, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
	"*It�s as contrived and convoluted as all the other Indiana Jones* movies, but not as much fun.*" -- New York Observer* Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
	"This audacious puzzlement is worth seeing, I guess, for some startling and innovative visual designs. But it doesn�t amount to anything more substantial than a technical tour de force." -- New York Observer Posted May 14, 2008	The Tracey Fragments (2008)	40%
	"A lovely, lyrical film with perfect timing that is a welcome relief from BlackBerrys, iPods, gas taxes, punk rock, the failing economy and the boredom of cutthroat election campaigns." -- New York Observer Posted May 14, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	46%
	"*Like television�s Six Feet Under* and the recent film Juno, it�s the perfect antidote to the dopey, butter-cream-frosted teen flicks of John Hughes -- Pretty in Pink with poison sauce.*" -- New York Observer* Posted May 7, 2008	The Babysitters (2008)	28%
	"Noise is a funny movie about a serious issue, delivered tongue in cheek but with real conviction." -- New York Observer Posted May 7, 2008	Noise (2008)	52%
	"I can sit through just about anything, but I draw the line at two hours and 15 minutes of fuchsia vomit. To suffer through this kind of hell, movie critics deserve combat pay." -- New York Observer Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"A funny and touching story about the way we create families both by blood and by choice." -- New York Observer Posted Apr 16, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	55%
	"*I liked director Vadim Perelman�s provocative first film, House of Sand and Fog, but this one is a mess." -- New York Observer* Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
	"So much good work must not go overlooked. I just loved this movie because it�s witty, intellectual without being pretentious, and filled with characters who are logically stressed and anxious to connect to a world outside of themselves." -- New York Observer Posted Apr 16, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
	"A marvelous film, small in expense but big in stature." -- New York Observer Posted Apr 2, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"Since it began shooting in June 2006, it�s been on the shelf ever since, and you�ll instantly know why. It�s like watching ice melt." -- New York Observer Posted Apr 2, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
	"*The best thing that can be said about Sex and Death 101* is that it�s not quite as bad as Hudson Hawk. That is not a recommendation.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Apr 2, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	27%
	"Flawless is anything but." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 26, 2008	Flawless (2007)	59%
	"Even if you are only moderately curious about the events that led up to the pointless death of a musical icon, I think you�ll find it a film of arm-twisting fascination." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 26, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
	"Clumsy and inept in demeanor but a whirlwind of comic energy, with an air of self-congratulatory winsomeness, Simon Pegg steals this otherwise minor but enjoyably unpretentious little comedy and pockets it like a Mars bar." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 26, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
	"When you see how hopeless the lives of the American people have become in endless independent films that drive the movie audience away in mobs, you understand why the big, dumb action comics and Will Ferrell alleged comedies make all the money." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 12, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	19%
	"*You know what garbage is, but until you see Funny Games, a bucket of swill by Austrian wacko Michael Haneke, you have no idea how bad it can smell." -- New York Observer* Posted Mar 12, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	50%
	"*It�s one of the most relentlessly honest and bleakly disturbing mirrors to American despair since American Beauty, at half the price." -- New York Observer* Posted Mar 5, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
	"Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a trifle of a movie confection, sweet and gummy as a jelly bean -- and 10 minutes later, just as forgettable." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 5, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
	"Stylish without being overly stylized, intelligent without being boring, Married Life is a classy throwback to the good old days when subtlety meant something at the movies and watching Hitchcock was a good reason to stay home." -- New York Observer Posted Mar 5, 2008	Married Life (2008)	58%
	"*For a film that is basically about a hip, New Wave fairy princess, Penelope* has both old-fashioned charm and a freshly modern approach to the subject of media manipulation and celebrity culture.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Feb 27, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
	"*Open the big cinema floodgates and Bonneville* is just a trickle of Poland Spring, but the trio of ladies are always watchable.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Feb 27, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	42%
	"A sexy Tudor soap opera about the beautiful, sensual and tragic second wife of Henry VIII." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 27, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
	"The sense of d�j� vu I had watching so many runaway vehicles crashing and smashing through the narrow cobblestone Spanish streets only reminded me how much more fun I�ve had watching the running of the bulls in Pamplona." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 20, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	"*I salute the inventiveness, imagination and cockeyed teenage humor in a delightful new movie called Charlie Bartlett. It picks up where Juno* left off.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Feb 20, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
	"You�ll scream, all right -- but not from fright." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 13, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
	"*A piece of idiotic sci-fi piffle called Jumper* looks like $90 billion wasted on 90 minutes of popcorn junk. Even the butter is phony.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
	"*For a story aimed at the moppet market, The Spiderwick Chronicles* is one that holds the interest without unbalancing the I.Q.*" -- New York Observer* Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	"Definitely, Maybe is a romantic comedy you don�t have to feel embarrassed to embrace." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 13, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
	"A gruesome, confused stumblebum of a movie." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 6, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
	"I would like to tell you this gross-out-on-camera is every bit as bad as its title implies, but that would not be entirely true. It is much, much worse." -- New York Observer Posted Feb 6, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
