The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2) (2008)

Meet Dave (2008)

"Even in C-movie junk like this, Murphy manages to wring a few laughs out of the material. But the humor is so broad it barely fits onto the screen."

Richard Roeper

89%

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)

"This is more about the culture of celebrity, the sensationalism, a power hungry, media-hungry judge, and all the things that have happened since then. And as such, it's a very good documentary."

Richard Roeper

94%

The Dark Knight (2008)

Finding Amanda (2008)

"Broderick's sunny spin on the deeply flawed Taylor is interesting but eventually defies belief. In the third act, Finding Amanda loses steam altogether."

The Happening (2008)

"It almost dares you to roll your eyes or laugh at certain scenes that are supposed to be deadly serious. But, you know what, I appreciated this creatively offbeat, daring sci-fi mind-trip."

Richard Roeper

53%

The Promotion (2008)

"This is one of the more original movies of the year, and it's the rare film that's primarily about the workplace."
