7.5/10	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	"Whishaw's Sebastian is a creature not completely of this earth. Watching the matriarchal and religious pressures weigh on his thin shoulders is almost too much to bear."	Kimberly Gadette



5/10	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	"Ben Barnes looks lost, with a thick Mediterranean accent reminiscent of Mandy Patinkin's avenging Spaniard from The Princess Bride: 'My name is Inigo Montoya--you killed my father--prepare to die!'"	Kimberly Gadette



8/10	The Dark Knight (2008)	"The Joker should be charged with the film's biggest crime: stealing the show."	Kimberly Gadette



6/10	Get Smart (2008)	"Per the latest intelligence report: For a grown-up summer comedy, Get Smart goes to the head of the class."	Kimberly Gadette



7.5/10	Hamlet 2 (2008)	"Coogan creates a protagonist who's as much a hack as he is an inspiration, an idiot who you root for in the film, but you'd rather not have as a personal friend."	Kimberly Gadette



7.5/10	Hancock (2008)	"Hancock is an irreverent hero for our times--perhaps reflecting our own national zeitgeist, with America's previously untainted superpower image suddenly a matter of debate rather than fact."	Kimberly Gadette



6/10	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	"On this latest Boy Meets Ghoul: Hellboy II's look is red hot. But it lingers too long on the fire, its promising sizzle ultimately losing flavor."	Kimberly Gadette



5.5/10	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	"Comic book performances trample Norton's attempt at 3D, e.g., Tim Blake Nelson's over-the-top scientist, acting as if he's performing children's theater to a packed matinee of pre-schoolers."	Kimberly Gadette



5/10	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	"The 'fedora-ble' Indy is back. Sort of. With his wry half-smile, still performing many of his own stunts, it's nice to see an old friend doing so well. But the thrill is gone."	Kimberly Gadette



8/10	Iron Man (2008)	"Latest Theory of Flight: This film is politically smart, action-packed, sexy and fun. High-flying suit notwithstanding, this newest entry in the superhero arena has just raised the bar."	Kimberly Gadette



8/10	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	"From a studio that's decimated iconic fairy tale characters with its poison pop-culture pen, i.e., Shrek, comes an age-old fable, poetic, pop-free and timeless...yet still an utter hoot."	Kimberly Gadette



3.5/10	Mamma Mia! (2008)	"Sophie invites the three beaus to her wedding, hoping she'll be able to pick her father out of the group. Such a shame that Sophie hasn't heard about DNA testing."	Kimberly Gadette



2.5/10	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	"A solitary highlight--when Emperor and Witch call their dead armies to life, his clay soldiers vs her skeleton troops. It's "The Kilning Fields" taking on a Skeleton Crew."	Kimberly Gadette



4/10	Pineapple Express (2008)	"As for Gary Cole's menacing bossman, he's a hemp-ty suit, a walking life lesson that, um, 'People who live in grass houses should not throw stoners.'"	Kimberly Gadette



3.5/10	The Rocker (2008)	"Tuneless execution, with flat writing and inharmonious direction as noticeable as Mötley Crüe's eyeliner. Or Whitesnake's snakeskin pants."	Kimberly Gadette



4/10	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	"Writer/director Michael Patrick King's first attempt to slip into full-length features from television wears heavily, resulting in as poor a fit as Carrie sporting coveralls and clogs."	Kimberly Gadette



4/10	Speed Racer (2008)	"Belying its own title, it's a mind-boggling bog of slow-witted repetition. After 5 minutes of zippy eye candy, what'll we do for the next 2 hours? You might want to bring along something to read."	Kimberly Gadette



.5/10	Step Brothers (2008)	"Some are touting this as the grown-up version of Superbad. Wrong. That earlier film was excellent. "Super bad," as applied to Step Brothers, is a super understatement."	Kimberly Gadette



3.5/10	Then She Found Me (2008)	"Looking an anorexic 15 years older than her character, she grabs onto her role with a grim, two-fisted attack. While the supporting cast in this dramedy swims toward comedy, Hunt drowns in tragedy."	Kimberly Gadette



3/10	Traitor (2008)	"Nachmanoff's 'travelogue' consists of a plot that doesn't twist--heck, it doesn't even kink. Let's call it a mild fold and leave it at that."	Kimberly Gadette



8/10	Tropic Thunder (2008)	"Tearing through this wild rumble in the jungle are so many wacky performances, it's challenging to keep them all straight. Even harder--trying to control the laughter so you don't miss the next line."	Kimberly Gadette



5.75/10	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	"When these lightweight lovers ramble through their individual midsummer night's dreams, knowing only what they don't want--well, we just can't care all that much."	Kimberly Gadette



9/10	WALL-E (2008)	"A spectacular testament to the life force that beats within us all, WALL·E puts the "extra" back in terrestrial."	Kimberly Gadette



3/10	Wanted (2008)	"It could have been worse--in the original graphic novel, the authors created a villain fashioned solely out of fecal products. Even sans Mr. Stool Head, this project stinks to high heaven."	Kimberly Gadette



6/10	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	"There's a terrible crime going on against Mulder/Scully. They're being forced to talk to death, beaten about the bush, blued in the face. Crimes like this can break your heart."	Kimberly Gadette



2.5/10	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	"Cutting to celeb cameos as often as locks of hair fall to the floor of a Supercuts doesn't create comedy -- no more than sticking a person's head in a salon sink means it can wash/cut/style itself."	Kimberly Gadette
