BIOGRAPHY

A-
 
"It's a sad movie, no question -- but like most great drama, it inspires admiration for its thoughtfulness and its craft." -- EricDSnider.com

Boy A (2008)89%

"It's a potboiler -- not groundbreaking or brilliant, but solidly entertaining." -- EricDSnider.com

"Anybody in the market for a rip-off of Superbad? All it's missing are the likable characters and the good performances! Oh, and the comedy." -- EricDSnider.com

College (2008)8%

"Embarrassment. It's a feeling you should get used to, Freidberg and Seltzer. May you never befoul another cinema with your grotesque comic abortions." -- Film.com

Disaster Movie (2008)0%

C+
 
"The high-minded philosophical discussions feel like posturing, like the movie is trying a little too hard to earn that "prestige" title." -- EricDSnider.com

Frozen River (2008)85%

"It's serious and intense like a fall political drama, but it's shallow and meaningless like a summer blockbuster." -- EricDSnider.com

Traitor (2008)53%

B
 
"Offers more actual empowerment and inspiration to young women than the phony Sex and the City or Mamma Mia!, and it's a lot funnier to boot." -- EricDSnider.com

The House Bunny (2008)39%

"A testament to the incompetence of Paul W.S. Anderson, who has never made a good movie and apparently isn't about to start now." -- Film.com

"In a year punctuated with very funny movies, Hamlet 2 stands out as the most peculiar and comedically risky." -- EricDSnider.com

Mirrors (2008)16%

"Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad." -- Film.com

The Clone Wars (2008)20%

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)81%

Henry Poole Is Here (2008)37%

Fly Me To The Moon (2008)16%

B
 
"Thompson admirers will enjoy the film the most, of course, but even the uninitiated will surely find him a fascinating character, if not always a likable one." -- EricDSnider.com

"The new film is more disciplined and less scattershot than Apatow's previous films -- and slightly less funny, too. But only slightly." -- EricDSnider.com

Pineapple Express (2008)68%

Swing Vote (2008)39%
/
C+
 
"As a TV episode, it would be unmemorable but OK. As a theatrical feature requiring paid admission and a two-hour time commitment, uh, not so much." -- Film.com

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)n/a

A-
 
"Nolan has shot The Dark Knight with the utmost confidence, and with a gleefully morbid sense of fun that prevents it from becoming oppressively bleak." -- EricDSnider.com

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)61%

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)79%

"The characters aren't interesting, and the stories toggle between tawdry and ridiculous." -- EricDSnider.com

Garden Party (2008)11%

B
 
"Most of the film is zippy, funny, and fascinatingly strange -- all qualities that are often lacking in some of the more bloated action blockbusters." -- EricDSnider.com

The Promotion (2008)47%
