	"It's oddly satisfying, even though it does everything wrong." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	40%
	"Their makeovers are not superficial. It's just basic interaction. It's not bad to dress like human beings. And making over that brace is a real triumph over adversity." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
	"Well, at least the underdog formula has gotten so tight that we can wrap these things up in under 90 minutes." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	The Longshots (2008)	37%
	"The answer to every stupid inspirational teacher movie there ever was... It's about what crap all those inspirational teacher movies are." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	61%
	"Just the title suggests how profound the movie is. If he'd called it Vicky and Cristina Go to Barcelona, that's obvious and basic. Just using the key words says, 'Here's what we're dealing with, now you figure out the proper grammer.'" -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 16, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	80%
	"By the time he pulls a gun on someone pivotal to the mystery, it's not that the movie is doing 24. It's just that the movie has no motivation for that character to be involved, so they force it, via his Jack Bauer moves." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 16, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	16%
	"Makes me miss Uwe Boll." -- Can Magazine Posted Aug 3, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
	"*More exciting than The Phantom Menace* and makes more sense than Attack of the Clones.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	20%
	"One of the better non-Pixar animated films out there." -- Can Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	33%
	"Everything you would want to see in a movie... I wanted to applaud after every scene Heath Ledger performed... features Batman's most wonderful toys yet." -- Can Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
	"It all works because it is heartfelt and fun. They are sincere about this, not condescending to the masses. They even have the most sensitive fat joke I've ever seen. Even a pee joke is funny because it's Steve Carell doing a pee joke." -- Can Magazine Posted Jun 21, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
	"*They are not putting any of the funny stuff from The Love Guru* in the trailer. This is a rapid assault of comedy.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Jun 21, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
	"*I "wanted" to love Wanted* but I only liked it. It's Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups and you've never seen action like this before, but the script really could have used a polish.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Jun 21, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
	"I didn't mind the Ang Lee one. I don't think this is any better or worse. It's just another Hulk movie." -- Can Magazine Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"I'm always amused by the sort of backlashes that Shyamalan is in right now. Well, M. Night Shyamalan makes vague, subtle fantasy thrillers. If you've outgrown it, don't blame him." -- Can Magazine Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"*Here's a weird little comedy... Kind of like Clerks* in a bigger store, or at least a funny version of Employee of the Month.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
	"The best Mossad agent turned hair stylist movie ever made. Seriously, it's actually really good and fun." -- Can Magazine Posted Jun 6, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
	"I like things with moving parts. There are plenty of ancient temples with moving contraptions in this one." -- Can Magazine Posted May 22, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
	"It's really a touching kids movie about youthful imagination and family values. That's not what I wanted!" -- Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	74%
	"It may be predictable but at least you see it's trying." -- Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
	"The film just revels in gay jokes and marriage clich�s. There's no actual awkwardness to Tom doing a traditionally female job, so they just call him gay over and over and over." -- Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"At least they party harder than the 21 kids." -- Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
	"The fastest, most furious movie of all time." -- Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"*There are poop jokes and cm shots but nothing as insightfully twisted as the diarrhea twins.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
	"I date strippers so I'm really sensitive to the portrayal of strippers in film. Fortunately, the makers of Zombie Strippers did me proud... Zombie Strippers is the best zombie stripper movie ever made." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 21, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	41%
	"The prospect of a pro-Intelligent Design documentary sounded so batsh** crazy,it had to be awesome, watching intellectuals spin a story about how they're persecuted for their beliefs.Not to say I didn't give it a fair chance,but they made it really easy." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	8%
	"Obviously, we would have heard if he'd found the guy, and obviously, no film was really going to get to that point. So it makes its point a different way and ends up explaining what it's really about, and that's fine." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
	"Points a finger at reality with a surreal wink." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
	"Even when he goes 'dark,' it's a pretty harmless rebellion and the film never lets him pass a point of no return." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 11, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	29%
	"The film makes the point that this is the only way to really save people from evil, so it can't very well expect us to spend the next 80 minutes watching him play by the rules." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
	"*Certainly not the worst movie of the year, not in a year that brought us Over Her Dead Body, One Missed Call, Fool's Gold, Snow Angels* and Mad Money. It could be the most mediocre though.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
	"*Ranks with Full Metal Jacket* and Saving Private Ryan as one of the best wartime dramas.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"*This is a really stupid movie about such smart people... When they make references to Ferris Bueller* and Swingers, it just feels desperate.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Apr 4, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
	"These so-called Rolling Stones are pretty good. I think they might have a future in this business." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
	"Nim's Island starts out with a dead mother, so it's already got the makings of a family film classic." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
	"George Clooney may be the best actor/director of all time." -- Can Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
	"There are plenty of opportunities for Carolla to spout wisdom and observations." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	70%
	"The Christopher Guest troupe couldn't have done it any better, because they would have just done the same contrived characters and uninspired bits." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Grand ()	39%
	"Can no one think of a different reason for ghosts to haunt people?" -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 21, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
	"*I don't mind Drillbit Taylor* but why was I watching it? Oh yeah, I get paid to.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
	"*It's a story, which is more than Snow Angels* had. It's still miserable lowlifes who can't hold menial jobs languishing in feeling bad.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Mar 14, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	19%
	"Remember in the '80s when they used to make all those stupid fight movies? Never Back Down is just like that. I was in the mood for a stupid '80s fight movie where fights happen just because we want to see fights." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	24%
	"It's metaphysically literal, or literally metaphysical." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 14, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	"A truly F'ed up thriller and aesthetic experience." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 14, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	50%
	"One of those little movies that really only exists on the radar because big names were in it." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	Married Life (2008)	58%
	"National Lampoon's Vacation Light. They have some funny disasters on the road, nothing like dead relatives or incest, but it's light and fun." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	13%
	"He's a cute little furball, but no Mogwai." -- Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	51%
	"*This banal nonaction story is Jason Statham's Raw Deal* or Boiling Point.*" -- Can Magazine* Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	79%
	"Penelope is true fantasy. It asks the audience to believe that men would not want to do Christina Ricci just because she has a pig nose. I mean, come on, you're going to dump that curvy little body?" -- Can Magazine Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
	"It's history, British people, royal family, they need sons%u2026 Yeah." -- Can Magazine Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
