Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
B	"Though Kim's western pastiche may be insubstantial, it's anything but a drag. It's masterfully directed, legitimately funny, and legitimately fun, thoroughly enjoyable even at an excessive 129 minutes." -- Cinematical Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Good, the Bad, and the Weird (2008)	n/a
B	"The Brothers Bloom doesn't live up to Johnson's debut, true, but few films could. This is hardly a sophomore slump. A movie this engaging, this rigorous, this alive is nothing to complain about." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Brothers Bloom (2008)	n/a
D	"All posturing and artifice -- not cool or funny, though sometimes scary in its nihilism and flippancy." -- Film Blather Posted Sep 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	65%
B-	"Flash of Genius is a conventional crowdpleaser but not, I'm pleased to report, a shameless one." -- Cinematical Posted Sep 1, 2008	Flash of Genius (2008)	n/a
C	"It never develops its clever ideas, it just repeats them until they're played out. By the end of the film there's nothing left." -- Film Blather Posted Aug 13, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	84%
B-	"This is a mightily strange movie, at times very funny; I can certainly recommend it to those who are curious about it. Those who can't stand being around stoners may like it less." -- Film Blather Posted Aug 5, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	69%
A	"It's a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
B-	"I wanted to like the movie more; there's plenty here for a cinephile to dig. But ultimately it's underwhelming -- and, with the exception of a couple uncanny images, forgettable." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
D	"Meant as a non-stop roller-coaster ride, it mistakes spectacle for energy, fancy effects for wonder, and a lazy meta-plot for a clever update of a classic." -- Film Blather Posted Jul 10, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
B	"Summer '08 has been full of decent, largely predictable rollercoaster rides, but here's one that's a little off-kilter, and kind of unique." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 29, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
A-	"The fact that Wall-E's not merely adorable, but central to a serious, thoughtful, adult story is still another illustration of Pixar's downright heroic commitment to the craft." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
C-	"The film has no discernible rhythm, little in the way of wit, and the plot plays like Myers considered it an unpleasant obligation." -- Film Blather Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
C+	"Why create a universe this utterly gonzo if all you're going to do is repeat the same 'believe-in-yourself' and 'everyone-is-special' pablum kids have heard a million times?" -- Film Blather Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
D+	"*No matter what you think about Zohan's humor or its politics, in no universe should it have been longer than 85 minutes. 112 is punishment." -- Film Blather* Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
C+	"I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed." -- Film Blather Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	51%
B+	"A wise, engaging, and astoundingly comprehensive look at the steroid 'controversy.'" -- Film Blather Posted May 29, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
B+	"Deft, clever and fast-paced; it hits all the nostalgic touchstones and introduces memorable, worthwhile new players." -- Film Blather Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
B	"A two-hour-and-fifteen-minute sugar rush of a film, dazzling and exciting, a little too frantic and a little too long." -- Film Blather Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
D	" *I am so tired of these miserable things* that pass for romantic comedies these days, thoughtless assembly-line products that recycle the same components in ever-dumber packaging over and over again.*" -- Film Blather* Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
F	"It's offensive because it's so incredibly, almost supernaturally, stupid." -- Film Blather Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
C+	"Every time the movie feels like it's about to cross over into the realm of the genuinely inspired, something or someone slams on the brakes." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 24, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
C+	"Minkoff and Fusco blur the line between homage and laziness." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
B+	"A movie for those of us who have wanted to see Wong Kar Wai's talents applied to storytelling rather than abstraction." -- Film Blather Posted Apr 3, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	48%
C+	"*For something that was pitched as a screwball comedy, Leatherheads* is kind of lumbering, unwieldy, and awkward.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	52%
C	"I defy you to find another movie with this much contempt for its audience." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 25, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
D+	"Speaking as someone who approached Never Back Down with curiosity and hope rather than a sense of obligation, I implore you to stay away." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	24%
A-	"*Precise, clever, wonderfully strange, and so funny it hurts, it is simply the best studio comedy since The 40-Year Old Virgin." -- Film Blather* Posted Mar 11, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
B	"Enormously entertaining storytelling but highly problematic documentary filmmaking." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 11, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
B	"No less eager than its predecessor to use pointed political incorrectness to poke fun at our prejudices." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 10, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
C	"In its desperation to deliver an action-packed suspense set piece of an ending, 21 asks the audience to suspend all disbelief, and basically begs to be laughed at." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 9, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
D-	"Roland Emmerich has a remarkable talent for draining all the life out of interesting stories." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 6, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
B	"It's not the cinema of the century, but it's delicious and it melts in your mouth." -- Film Blather Posted Mar 5, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
B+	"*This out-of-nowhere wonder charms from the first frame to the last, and joins Charlie Bartlett* on the list of early-2008 films that are both wholesome and intelligent.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
D+	"I am sick to death of the clueless, arrogant buffoon that Will Ferrell has made his stock-in-trade, and desperate to see the talented comic do something -- anything -- else." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
B+	"It's a straightforward, unpretentious joy, and one of the most purely enjoyable films I've seen in some time." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
B	"Alternately so whacked out as to be inaccessible, and so sweet and na�ve as to be irresistible." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 22, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	67%
B	"It's easy to pick apart an action movie. It's much harder to produce one this clever, fast-paced and involving." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 21, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
B+	"Charlie Bartlett is rated R but is perfect, even salutary for young teens and older tweens. It's sincere, unabashedly positive, smart and funny -- a supernaturally rare combination." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 21, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
B-	"*[Christensen's] utter vacancy is a bane on Jumper, an otherwise serviceable sci-fi thriller that would have benefited from a compelling center." -- Film Blather* Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
C+	"*After lovingly setting up the intricate relationships among its characters Spiderwick* loses itself in the action and pretty special effects, only recovering in time to do a rushed, pat wrap-up.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
B	"Definitely, Maybe is what happens when someone decides to make a romantic comedy, then sits down and thinks about it for a while before setting out to write." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 13, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
D+	"Each year, I happily endure much at the movies that most people are smart enough to avoid, and I am telling you that watching Lawrence here is a punishment." -- Film Blather Posted Feb 7, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
C-	"Untraceable's knee-jerk moralizing is reprehensible and stupid." -- Film Blather Posted Jan 25, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
B-	"At its best when it considers the shell of a man its hero has become; the ways that war and violence have become a part of his being, and what that has done to him." -- Film Blather Posted Jan 24, 2008	Rambo (2008)	36%
B	"*If Cassandra's Dream* doesn't have the heft of Match Point, mostly due to an ending that tries too hard, I'd argue that it's a much more human film.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	51%
C+	"*You won't miss much if you choose to let 27 Dresses* come and go this month -- except perhaps the unassuming starring debut of a comedienne who, I suspect, will soon become a Hollywood powerhouse.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Jan 18, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
B-	"It's a hell of a visceral experience -- but it's a purely visceral experience, apparently to the point of causing some viewers to vomit. Unless you're one of those unfortunate few, you'll soon forget the details." -- Film Blather Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Film Blather Posted Jan 4, 2008	One Missed Call (2003)	48%
D+	"*For a film like One Missed Call* to be frightening or good would have required far more art and intelligence than this shoddy little production could possibly muster.*" -- Film Blather* Posted Jan 4, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
B-	"It goes down easy, has some great scenes, and knows how to tug on the heartstrings. But unlike its characters, it settles for less." -- Film Blather Posted Dec 24, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
