B	" This psychological thriller is a victory of style over logic." -- Compuserve Posted Jan 2, 2009	Just Another Love Story (2008)	n/a
B+	" A convincing argument that having a loving spouse, a supportive family, a house with a white picket fence, and most of all a frisky pup, are the closest we get to Eden." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 23, 2008	Marley & Me (2008)	57%
B+	" Tom Cruise, known to some for fun scenes as in the movie 'Cocktail,' is surprisingly effective in the role of the head of a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 22, 2008	Valkyrie (2008)	57%
B	" Some unusually strong ensemble performances deliver a microcosm of Tunisians living outside their native land in France." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 18, 2008	The Secret of the Grain (2008)	92%
C	" Sappy and convoluted." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 17, 2008	Seven Pounds (2008)	28%
B+	" A gut-wrenching prison drama that can be compared to Jonas Mekas's brutal 1957 film 'The Brig.'" -- Compuserve Posted Dec 15, 2008	Hunger (2008)	88%
B	" A poignant comedy-drama of two lost souls who, as in 'Marty,' find each other." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 9, 2008	Last Chance Harvey (2008)	74%
B	" Whatever its shortcomings, the film should be seen as a testimony to the true story of Jews who lived in a Belarus forest for years during the Holocaust." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 8, 2008	Defiance (2008)	41%
B	" Overlong, but any film that can make Brad Pitt look homely deserves to sweep the special effects awards." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 8, 2008	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)	72%
C	" Eastwood's character acts as mentor to a vulnerable youth just as he did in 'Million Dollar Baby,' but this vehicle is filled with silly, old-fashioned dialogue." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 5, 2008	Gran Torino (2008)	73%
A-	" A gripping, resonant tale of a man who discovers that his main squeeze is put on trial for Holocaust crimes." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 5, 2008	The Reader (2008)	60%
B	" A Walter Mitty fantasy that defies logic but is sumptuously filmed with an array of neat, noirish twists." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 3, 2008	Just Another Love Story (2008)	n/a
B+	" Another gem from director Sam Mendes about suburbanites who lead lives of quiet desperation." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 2, 2008	Revolutionary Road (2008)	66%
A-	" You need not be religious to believe in this minor miracle." -- Compuserve Posted Dec 1, 2008	Doubt (2008)	75%

B+	" A heartbreaking biopic about the first openly gay man to win an important political position." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 24, 2008	Milk (2008)	93%
C	" The dialogue is lame enough to make one think that the story exists only as an excuse for the sexual couplings." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 22, 2008	Antarctica (2008)	45%
B	" Where Baz Luhrmann's 'Australia' is bloated, this Aussie pic is a look at a single family in a suburban Australia town, a group that are alternately heartwarming and frustrating." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 20, 2008	The Black Balloon (2008)	95%
B-	" The film will be nominated for gorgeous cinematography, the landscape forming the backdrop of a story that is more conventional than the sort director Luhrmann is accustomed to." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 20, 2008	Australia (2008)	54%
B	" A shy British Indian woman of the Muslim faith meets an outgoing Jordanian Christian woman, neither of whom can think straight in this entertainment from the mysterious East." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 15, 2008	I Can't Think Straight (2008)	25%
B	" A barebones-budgeted sci-fi B picture that's more of an intellectual exercise than a source of chills and thrills." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 13, 2008	Timecrimes (2008)	81%
C-	" This might charitably be called a victory of style over substance, except that there's little of either on display." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 12, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%

C+	" An experience that is intellectual where it should be emotional, one belonging more on the stage than on the screen, a picture to be respected more than wrapped up in." -- Compuserve Posted Nov 5, 2008	Adam Resurrected (2008)	34%
B	" Tom Arnold turns in a solid performance as a "nice guy" who abducts children." -- Film Journal International Posted Nov 4, 2008	Gardens of the Night (2008)	58%

C	" Delivers atonal music at an unvarying loud pitch and is directed by a fellow who must have been taking a nap throughout all of its volume." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 28, 2008	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	30%
B+	" A treasure-trove of archival film indicts the U.S. for betraying the Laotian people--as seen through the travails of one family." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 27, 2008	The Betrayal (2008)	90%

B+	" Given its crackerjack performances and fine evocation of period, Miller�s film has already been a popular offering in Paris and should not long remain a secret from sophisticated moviegoers when it opens in the States." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 18, 2008	A Secret (2008)	84%
B+	" The sharply edited film, which includes (happily) just a few talking heads but mostly exciting archival celluloid and campy stock is a love letter to Ike Eisenhower." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 18, 2008	Sputnik Mania (2008)	90%
B+	" Ball knows how to fit his themes in seamlessly, weaving a charming, dark, funny, thoroughly entertaining parody of Americana." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 18, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	47%
A-	" A powerful, epic tale that marries feminism to political reform." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 16, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%

C	" Inert performances, an irritating soundtrack, and the lack of resonance of the 'big secret' combine to make viewing a burden." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 14, 2008	One Day You'll Understand (2008)	65%
D	" A vertiginous, nauseating, unscary mess of a film." -- Compuserve Posted Oct 12, 2008	Quarantine (2008)	59%
