Dare (2009) 59% 4/5 EDIT “What might otherwise be an exercise in ordinary adolescent stories turns powerfully intimate through the wonderful performances that Salky coaxes out from the cast.” – Film Threat Feb 10, 2022 Full Review A Christmas Tale (2008) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Desplechin's film is so well cast and the relationships so authentically depicted that it's okay not to be completely or partially taken by Junon, Henri, and the rest of their kin.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Lymelife (2008) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Lymelife is funny and well-acted, but it's just shy of being compelling enough to be remembered.” – Film Threat Oct 22, 2009 Full Review I Love You, Man (2009) 82% 3/5 EDIT “For most of the film's 104 minutes, the characters have experiences that range from serious to zany.” – Film Threat Mar 24, 2009 Full Review Sunshine Cleaning (2008) 74% 4/5 EDIT “The Lorkowskis are a family of potential waiting for the right moment to strike out into kinetic glory. Seeing them reap the rewards of determination and hard work is deeply fulfilling.” – Film Threat Mar 24, 2009 Full Review Righteous Kill (2008) 18% 3.5/5 EDIT “Seeing Robert De Niro and Al Pacino circling the thin line between cop and criminal paints a giant grin on the face.” – Film Threat Oct 18, 2008 Full Review The Express (2008) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Even if you already knew the facts, you won't be able to help but reflect in awe at how much progress in the fight against discrimination has been made on a societal level.” – Film Threat Oct 16, 2008 Full Review Religulous (2008) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Is it mean? Gratuitously prankish? On the surface, sure, but it serves to remind the viewer that Maher is very well aware of his own presence and purpose.” – Film Threat Oct 7, 2008 Full Review How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) 36% 2.5/5 EDIT “If one were to search for the instructions stated in the film's title (of how to lose one's friends and alienate people), one wouldn't get very far. Sidney doesn't have any friends to lose.” – Film Threat Oct 7, 2008 Full Review Bangkok Dangerous (2008) 9% 2/5 EDIT “Where the 1999 version wore cinematography and spectacle like a generic Hong Kong triad film (brooding and bloody interchanging throughout), 2008 doles out an attempt at profundity that gives way to bouts of cheesiness and incoherent editing.” – Film Threat Sep 9, 2008 Full Review The Love Guru (2008) 13% 3/5 EDIT “It will curb your craving for laughs and won't leave you consuming more than is necessary.” – Film Threat Jun 24, 2008 Full Review Doomsday (2008) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “Doomsday isn't quite memorable or enthralling enough.” – Film Threat Mar 16, 2008 Full Review Jumper (2008) 15% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a grab-bag of high points and low points.” – Film Threat Feb 19, 2008 Full Review Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) 12% 1/5 EDIT “Left a bland aftertaste in my mind.” – Film Threat Jan 2, 2008 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) 28% 4/5 EDIT “Four out of five stars for being cuter, funnier, and, besides, the character design far exceeded my expectations.” – Film Threat Dec 18, 2007 Full Review This Christmas (2007) 56% 3.5/5 EDIT “This Christmas adheres to this formula and impressively stays away from the cheese and the sap that ordinarily accompany holiday pictures.” – Film Threat Nov 27, 2007 Full Review American Gangster (2007) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's almost completely satisfying.” – Film Threat Nov 6, 2007 Full Review The Comebacks (2007) 10% 2.5/5 EDIT “May not change your life, but it will be funny.” – Film Threat Oct 23, 2007 Full Review Why Did I Get Married? (2007) 48% 3.5/5 EDIT “Perry's film made me laugh frequently and whole-heartedly; more so than any theatrically released American film has in many months.” – Film Threat Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Lust, Caution (2007) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Ang Lee's directing is so engrossing that one abandons the impulse to rationalize and finds oneself completely swept up in the consciousness of the story.” – Film Threat Oct 16, 2007 Full Review Arctic Tale (2007) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Putting an animal's face to global warming is conceptually smart and would've been more effective if it were applied to other species in other climate zones too.” – Film Threat Oct 16, 2007 Full Review The Game Plan (2007) 28% 3/5 EDIT “An amusing and timely distraction.” – Film Threat Oct 6, 2007 Full Review The Nanny Diaries (2007) 34% 3/5 EDIT “Admittedly, there were specific scenes that I felt were wonderfully performed and photographed...but I felt no overwhelming emotions.” – Film Threat Sep 4, 2007 Full Review Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) 50% 3.5/5 EDIT “After 'winning' a camcorder and a vacation package to the French Riviera, Bean sets out in Bean style, and the laughs don't stop.” – Film Threat Sep 4, 2007 Full Review Paris, je t'aime (2006) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Splendid.” – Film Threat Aug 7, 2007 Full Review
