3/5
The Box (2009) Stefan Halley Dull, poorly edited and predictable, The Box will come and go so quickly in theatres, you'll wonder if it was ever released when you see it for rent on DVD.

2/5
Hotel for Dogs (2009) Stefan Halley There are enough plot moments for the older ones not to be bored to tears. But, it is just not a great motion picture experience.

Revolutionary Road (2008) Stefan Halley Another routine suburban drama.

The Wrestler (2008) Stefan Halley It is brutal to the point of being cringe inducing. But, Mickey Rourke gives the performance to beat on Oscar night.

Not Easily Broken (2009) Stefan Halley no way, shape or form is great cinema, but it a decent Christian entertainment.

3.5/5
Defiance (2008) Stefan Halley a compelling, inspirational look at a little-known story of Jewish resistance in Nazi Europe, though it doesn't come without controversy.

2.5/5
Last Chance Harvey (2008) Stefan Halley Though Hoffman and Thompson inhabit Harvey and Kate nicely, the Golden Globe nominations seem a bit much. What material they're given to work with simply isn't a stretch for either of them.

The Spirit (2008) Stefan Halley The 108 minute film is filled with sizzlin' curves, sexy silhouettes & staggering action.

3.5/5
Gran Torino (2008) Stefan Halley 70's machismo in a 00's package. Clint Eastwood does a film dedicated to his fans.

A Secret (2007) Stefan Halley you'll exit the theatre with at least one unanswered question and plenty to discuss.

Valkyrie (2008) Stefan Halley effective and ultimately hollow

Doubt (2008) Stefan Halley both powerful and flawed, and is worth a look to draw your own conclusions.

The Tale of Despereaux (2008) Stefan Halley Have a heart bigger than a mouse, and take the kids to see the entertaining The Tale of Despereaux.

Milk (2008) Stefan Halley a very dynamic biopic

Australia (2008) Lexi Feinberg 'It's an epic in the style of Out of Africa or Gone with the Wind,' Luhrman told the press. Not quite -- more like Pearl Harbor, the Down Under version.

Australia (2008) Stefan Halley If you think you just have to see this film on the big screen, I would suggest seeing a matinee or waiting until the dollar movie circuit. Definitely not worth the full price of admission.

4/5
Four Christmases (2008) Stefan Halley Is this the funniest comedy of the year? Probably not. But it will probably be right up there for holiday comedies if you enjoy films such as Bad Santa or National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

3/5
Bolt (2008) Stefan Halley It may be forgotten quicker than Travolta's last comeback or Cyrus' last album for that matter, but it's still harmless, enjoyable fun for the kids on any given afternoon matinee.

4/5
Let the Right One In (2008) Stefan Halley There are more occasions where the film does drag and it is need of a tighter edit, but for the most part it works as a genre flick and as a treatise on young star crossed love.
Posted Nov 20, 2008  Edit critic review
2/5
Twilight (2008) Stefan Halley Make no mistake: This is not a good movie, and your time and money would be better spent elsewhere. (Your daughters', too.)

3/5
Frost/Nixon (2008) Stefan Halley If Howard had played with the form a little more%u2014or simply given us access to the actual people and interviews%u2014it may have been more powerful. But as it is, it is a good movie overshadowed by the source material.

2.5/5
Soul Men (2008) Stefan Halley Bittersweet but predictable and profane comedy, with an engaging chemistry from its two stars.

4.5/5
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) Stefan Halley The juxtaposition of innocence and abject horror makes this particular story so terrifying.

4/5
Quantum of Solace (2008) Stefan Halley unusually strong despite its flaws, and ends on a surprisingly powerful flourish. It's a hell of a thing to watch.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) Stefan Halley For the next movie, they should select a less redundant title and move it, move it, to another continent altogether.

Role Models (2008) Stefan Halley You might not trust them with your children, but you can absolutely trust it with your Friday night.

Sex Drive (2008) Stefan Halley ery funny moments, hilarious sight gags and a good-natured message for teenagers about taking risks

Martyrs (2008) Stefan Halley During the screening of it, I literally had my hand over my mouth, whispering "Oh God, No" to myself several times and almost, contemplated getting up to leave the theatre to leave as I just couldn't take anymore.

Body of Lies (2008) Stefan Halley one of the year's best, a technically proficient but powerful and entertaining spy drama

3/5
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) Stefan Halley a nicely sarcastic take on celebrity culture, though its own methods undermine its rebellious spirit.

The Express (2008) Stefan Halley a serviceable, entertaining and unremarkable portrait of a remarkable athlete.

4/5
Choke (2008) Stefan Halley The cast is great, the story is very adult, very wrong, and very engaging. Choke is an excellent open to the fall movie going season, and utterly recommendable.

Eagle Eye (2008) Stefan Halley turns a faintly interesting thriller/SF premise into untethered fantasy and a whole lotta CGI explosions, I can rally no defense. Life is short, my friends.

Appaloosa (2008) Stefan Halley There is some great work here, but the sum total is a wash.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) Stefan Halley much like a playful puppy. Energetic, fun but messy and all over the place.

Igor (2008) Stefan Halley Not a great film, either in terms of groundbreaking animation or story telling. But, it is a fun little bit of fluff that is better than most September releases.

Ghost Town (2008) Stefan Halley A layer of nuance and bitter wit saves this from being just another romantic comedy with a twist.

I Served the King of England (2006) Stefan Halley Sometimes a film comes along that touches both a nerve and a funny bone at the same time.

Praying With Lior (2007) Stefan Halley The director has managed to solicit the most endearing interviews with that of Lior's classmates.

2/5
The House Bunny (2008) Stefan Halley Could be a box-office hit based on the sheer bubbly sexiness of its leggy star, Faris, who should graduate to better comedic material. She's all you'll remember from this trite but enjoyable late summer movie entry.

Hamlet 2 (2008) Stefan Halley Chances are, if the title doesn't make you laugh or at least smirk, none of the rest of it is going to either.
Posted Aug 21, 2008  Edit critic review
3/5
The Rocker (2008) Stefan Halley Although there are many laugh-out-loud moments, the film has trouble deciding exactly what it wants to be %u2013 a physical, slap-stick comedy or a basic one-liner machine.

3.5/5
Tropic Thunder (2008) Stefan Halley As the director, Ben Stiller does an admirable job. He gets great performances out of the cast. But the script starts to sag somewhere in the middle and gratuitous violence just doesn't make up for the lack of smart dialogue.
Posted Aug 13, 2008  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) Stefan Halley Merely OK as a movie, The Clone Wars points to larger problems in the Star Wars prequel universe.

Fly Me to the Moon (2008) Stefan Halley it isn't anything new, but it's colorful, clean and wholesome entertainment for the family.
