B+	"Plagued by an endless war, inflation, rising unemployment, a weak dollar and borderline recession, we are treated to a crowd-pleaser that does not require us to pick up our brains at the box office on the way out." -- Compuserve Posted Jun 18, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	50%

A-	"A stunning feature film that at base asks the question, "What should a woman choose: an unpredictable life with a sexual dynamo, or a stable relationships with a much older man?"" -- Compuserve Posted Jun 4, 2008	Beauty in Trouble (2008)	64%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Compuserve Posted Jun 4, 2008	The Doorman (2008)	n/a
