Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
|
"Chocolate-and-peanut-butter franchise mash-up corrects its most recent predecessor's PG-13 rating, but offers up neither originality nor knockout execution." | |

Over Her Dead Body (2008) |
|
"At no point is Longoria even remotely likeable, leaving us to wonder why Rudd's character was ever with her in the first place." | |

The Rocker (2008) |
|
"Rainn Wilson has already been typecast as "that weird, crazy guy" in every role he plays, but he seems capable of more." | |
Jeff Otto | |
|
|
|
| |
6/10 |
|
The Ruins (2008) |
|
"Takes the familiar nature-versus-man horror concept - or in this case, killer vines versus slow-witted college grads - and executes it successfully." | |
Thomas Leupp | |

There Will Be Blood (2007) |
|
