" Van Damme puts his best work ever on screen, but ironically the guy who never relied on a good script before is let down by one here." -- CHUD

JCVD (2008)n/a

7.5/10
 
" A fine movie and a fascinating near miss. Even a Spike Lee film as imperfect as this one is more deserving of your attention than 90 percent of what's out there." -- CHUD

Towelhead (2008)49%

" A patchwork of good scenes that are stitched together, like a feature film made from a diverting YouTube series, but as a film it's... nothing." -- CHUD

" With Brick Rian Johnson got me excited with his storyteller's tools; with The Brothers Bloom he used them to transport me. I loved being the mark in this con." -- CHUD

" As a piece of agitprop op-ed filmmaking, Religulous is often brilliant. It's definitely hilarious, sometimes to the point of leaving me wheezing and giggling." -- CHUD

Mirrors (2008)13%

" The only enjoyment I got from the film was laughing at how miserable it was and then zoning out during the boring fight scenes... which make up, no joke, about 90% of the total running time." -- CHUD

The Clone Wars (2008)19%

" I laughed loud and hard throughout this film, and I enjoyed every minute of it and have no problem enthusiastically recommending it to you. But time and again the movie's jokes reach for comedic nirvana and fall just ever so short." -- CHUD

Tropic Thunder (2008)83%

9.5/10
 
" The aesthetic here isn't homaging 80s buddy action movies so much as just making one. It's MIDNIGHT RUN for the 21st century." -- CHUD

" If you want to get prepared for this one, don't go back and watch the other Indy movies. Pull out The Lost World instead. Both films are directed by the same Steven Spielberg - bored, only mildly engaged and seemingly going through the motions." -- CHUD

" Watching Keith Richards paraded around like a man in a character costume at Disneyland I found myself realizing how f***ing lame this group has become... This isn't rock and roll - this is a very loud Lawrence Welk performance." -- CHUD

7.5/10
 
" [The film] is, in the end, mildly disappointing, a movie that is beautiful but without warmth. Hopefully Joe Wright can continue on the visual path he is blazing for himself while not again losing the humanity of his wonderful Pride & Prejudice." -- CHUD

" Chris Weitz dropped out of the film years ago because he thought he couldn't do this story justice. Turns out he was right; as a director he's competent but doesn't have 'sweeping epic' in him." -- CHUD

" Southland Tales is a monumentally bad film, a landmark in 21st century cinematic awfulness. There's no real meaning to be found here; it's all signifiers for half baked ideas that Richard Kelly never managed to turn into anything worthwhile." -- CHUD

" Anderson's strength - he's a consummate visual stylist, a natural born scene maker - is also his weakness, in that he favors obvious constructions, representations and meanings in his scripts." -- CHUD

" Projected in digital format with booming, all-encompassing sound, Blade Runner: The Final Cut is a marvel of technology and dedication. As a film it's still the same dead-eyed pretty girl who looks good on your arm but is a real bore over dinner." -- CHUD
