2 Days In Paris (2007) |
|
"This got its financing due to two lines, one about oral sex and the other about condoms. That accurately sums up the intellectual level of this 96-minute monotony." | |

21 (2008) |

"The Hollywoodization of a true story changes what could have been gripping drama into derivative mundanity with too many plot holes to count." | |

27 Dresses (2008) |
|
"Amazingly derivative chick flick. In the final wedding scenes, Heigl is photographed and lit so poorly her nose looks as if she's gone 15 rounds with Mike Tyson." | |

88 Minutes (2008) |

"...looks as if they put the cast and crew together by handing out fliers on Hollywood Boulevard asking if anyone wants to write, direct, or act in a Hollywood movie." | |

The Bank Job (2008) |

"Despite some graphic violence to mar the film, if you can hang in for the shamefully slow first half, the last 40 minutes is entertaining." | |

The Bucket List (2007) |
|
"Who wouldn't like Nicholson and Freeman at the top of their game, aided by an intuitive script by Justin Bakeman that allows them to argue about the meaning of life?" | |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
|
"Colin Farrell, Ewan McGregor, and Tom Wilkinson catch Woody Allen at the top of his game. The result is Allen's best work to date, and Farrell's best performance." | |

Charlie Bartlett (2007) |

Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
|
"The lines brought to mind what sportswriter Red Smith said when asked how he writes, 'I open a vein,'... Alan Sorkin's seem to come straight from an artery, so labored are they." | |

Chicago 10 (2008) |
|
"Virulently biased (not one opponent of the 10 is interviewed), the film is ruined by presenting the trial via cartoons. I kept expecting Judge Hoffman to say, "Eh, What's up doc?"" | |

Deal (2008) |

Deception (2008) |

Get Smart (2008) |

The Grand |
