" A return to form for Jonathan Demme, acting tour-de-force for Hathaway, and simply one of the best films of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Rachel Getting Married (2008)84%
/
 
" City of Ember simply doesn't work as entertainment, ending up a cluttered mess and another example for writers to use when they pull the "Sophomore Slump" feature out for publication again." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
City of Ember (2008)47%
/
 
" Body of Lies is an expertly made, well-acted movie, and that makes it worth seeing, but it's not what it could have been." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Body of Lies (2008)52%
/
 
" Maher's wandering eye keeps Religulous - a very good movie - from being the great movie it could have been." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Religulous (2008)68%
/
 
" Appaloosa is a familiar story told well enough that it's worth seeing, but won't truly linger for any but the most diehard Western fanatic." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Appaloosa (2008)75%
/
 
" It's as slow and lifeless a crowd pleaser as you'll see all year, a David-and-Goliath story that would have been a much stronger film if it realized that David has to be a little nuts to take on Goliath." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Flash of Genius (2008)59%
/
 
" There's a little magic there in Cera and Dennings' excellent performances, continuing their upward trajectories in a romantic comedy that can barely keep up with them." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)72%
/
 
" Unwilling to do anything in moderation, the four people it took to write one of the worst screenplays of the year almost seem to be playing a game where they have to top each other with each stupid twist." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Eagle Eye (2008)28%
/
 
" Lee jumps back and forth between melodramatic speeches and unnecessary monologues so much that he loses all the emotional connection that he could possibly find with his audience." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Miracle at St. Anna (2008)32%
/
 
" The Duchess is this season's "painted cinema." All the colors are there and it's never hard to look at, but it's ultimately as two-dimensional as a trip to the art gallery." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
The Duchess (2008)60%
/
 
" Like a quickie in a bathroom or a Heimlich to the gut, Choke gets in, gets out, and gets the job done." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Choke (2008)56%
/
 
" I'm sure a lot of bad fiction has been written about veterans and current soldiers in the Iraq War. It's just not that often that it gets shot and projected on to a big screen." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
The Lucky Ones (2008)33%
/
 
" A great trio of actors and a talented writer/director inject Lakeview Terrace with enough unexpected left turns to barely keep it worth recommending." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Lakeview Terrace (2008)42%

" On the Terrace with Kerry Washington" -- The Deadbolt
Posted Sep 16, 2008
 
Lakeview Terrace (2008)42%
/
 
" This isn't the Coens playing it safe following their Oscar win. Rather, Burn After Reading is a movie about idiots made by geniuses." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)78%
/
 
" Bangkok Dangerous is so deadly dull that it's really not even worth writing or reading about, much less taking the time to see." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Bangkok Dangerous (2008)10%
/
 
" Elegy excels when it focuses solely on Kingsley and Cruz, two actors who inhabit these roles so completely that they're more interesting than the plot twists that surround them." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
 
" If you're considering seeing Death Race this weekend, send me ten bucks and I'll personally come to your house and punch you in the face instead. It will be more dramatically rewarding." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Death Race (2008)43%
/
 
" The timing is a bit off with this routine, even if there are a few solos that totally kick ass." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 19, 2008
 
The Rocker (2008)36%
/
 
" Hope and faith, by their very nature, are issues that need to be handled with question marks. And yet, Henry Poole Is Here features nothing but ham-fisted periods." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 16, 2008
 
Henry Poole Is Here (2008)36%
/
 
" One of the most enjoyable and best films of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)80%
/
 
" A franchise that once inspired the imagination of billions has fallen so far that it can't keep your attention for 98 minutes." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
The Clone Wars (2008)19%
/
 
" Very few directors have been willing to take on a satire as dark and daring as Tropic Thunder. For those of us who were losing hope in Mr. Stiller, it's about time." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 12, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)83%

" [Petit is] such an impassioned and energetic interview subject that it's remarkable that someone didn't make Man on Wire earlier." -- The Deadbolt

" Pineapple Express is one of the best comedies of the year, an original and creative mix of very dark humor, feel-good "best friends comedy," and stoner movie." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
Pineapple Express (2008)68%
/
 
" Baghead is an original, confident piece of filmmaking that isn't easily categorized or even summarized." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Baghead (2008)78%
/
 
" I've read Choose Your Own Adventure novels with better narrative cohesion. And better dialogue, chemistry, and drama too." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)13%
/
 
" This politically driven writer wants to like any film where the basic message is "pay attention, people," but the critic in me can't give a movie with all the subtlety of a lead hammer a pass on thematic intentions alone." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Swing Vote (2008)38%

" Maybe purists who are already up in arms about the alterations will stop and realize that it's a testament to just how incredible Waugh's novel was that, even with so many cuts and alterations, so much quality remains." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Brideshead Revisited (2008)63%
/
 
" There's so much unpredictable comedy in Step Brothers, and humor is so much better when you can't see the jokes coming from a mile away." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)55%
/
 
" Firmly places the nail in this franchise's coffin. I know what I don't want - a third X-Files film." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)32%
/
 
" Miscast, poorly shot, possibly choreographed by a spastic eight-year-old, Mamma Mia! is a mess, but it's kind of an impressive mess." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 20, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
 
" A masterpiece of good and evil with Oscar-worthy performances and technical accomplishments that has the potential to impact the genre more than any film since Christopher Reeve put on red tights." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
 
" It's as if the filmmakers added the 3-D element because they knew the movie would be too boring to be released without it." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)62%
/
 
" When Hellboy II: The Golden Army gets to its big, titular climax, it's difficult to care because you can sense that the director doesn't really care either. It's a mere obligation." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 11, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%

" Mother of Tears feels like a copy, like someone "doing Argento", instead of the real deal that it could have been." -- The Deadbolt

Mother of Tears (2008)48%

" Hancock is a film that starts off promisingly, but takes a left turn about halfway through and literally comes apart at the seams." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
 
" The kind of thrill ride that they used to make more often during the summer season - an over-the-top action movie made strictly for adults. Keep your superheroes. Give me more of these." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)73%
/
 
" Like its hero, the job may not be done with the most style and grace, but it definitely gets done." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)74%
/
 
" Amanda can never find a tone. It opens with a scene-reading (Taylor is a writer on a hacky TV show) that produces yawns, where our lead character is the only one that laughs. It's prophetic." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Finding Amanda (2008)40%

" Wall-E is not only the best movie of the year by galaxy-sized leaps and bounds, it's one of my favorite movies in a long, long time." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%

" There's nothing easy about Christopher Zalla's very good film, a story that will get under your skin in its depiction of the dark underbelly of the American dream." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)83%

" Get Smart isn't funny. And the action scenes aren't thrilling enough to make up for the lack of laughter." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)52%
/
 
" The kind of complete mess that makes a critic question the other "lowest possible" ratings he's given, because those films, honestly, weren't nearly this bad." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
The Love Guru (2008)14%

" Hulk is further proof that the superhero genre has entered its mediocre period." -- Movie Retriever

The Incredible Hulk (2008)67%

" I wanted Quid Pro Quo to develop into something at every turn, but it just never gels. It's a great 20-page short story that can't sustain 82 minutes of life on the big screen." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Quid Pro Quo (2008)66%
/
 
" Like the Iraq conflict itself, the exit strategy fails and the whole thing becomes a complete mess. And it wasn't that great an idea from the beginning." -- The Deadbolt

War, Inc. (2008)30%
/
 
" If you're anywhere near a city that's playing it in a theater, I couldn't be more direct - go see it. You will not regret it and not soon forget the best film so far this year." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 12, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%

" The fight choreography in Kung Fu Panda is the real draw. And, especially in IMAX, the film is never visually boring." -- The Deadbolt
