3/4	"As Banner, Norton gives a strong performance. Like "Iron Man's" Robert Downey, Jr., Norton is a former Oscar nominee who brings a wealth of talent to a role one normally wouldn't consider him for. But it's his skills as an actor that lend a human touch to" Posted Jun 15, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%

3.5/4	"Like "Knocked Up" and "Superbad" before it, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is a return to the rarest of adult comedies, one with a heart." Posted Apr 23, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%

4/4	"Brolin adds another feather in the cap that is 2007. Following outstanding performances in "Grindhouse" and "American Gangster," this film gives him a hat trick of performances that should put him on any director's "A" list." Posted Dec 15, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%
4/4	"The songs, by "Pocahontas" Oscar-winners Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, are cleverly written, with each one evoking a Disney classic from another period." Posted Dec 15, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%

3.5/4	" Carell continues his march as this generation's Tom Hanks, equally comfortable and at home in comedy or drama." Posted Oct 25, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	65%
4/4	"...an entertaining and informative film that reveals so much about an event you think you already know about." Posted Sep 30, 2007	In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)	94%
2/4	"And that brings us the bad stuff, heretofore known as the script. The story keeps on putting Erica in harm's way, so much that you're not sure why. I mean, would a woman alone really ride on the subway at night?" Posted Sep 20, 2007	The Brave One (2007)	44%
3.5/4	" As played by Bale, Evans' intensity is allowed to slowly burn through his quiet facade, until the man he once was returns." Posted Sep 20, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
3.5/4	" Hill, who I predicted big things for in my review of "Knocked Up," is perfectly cast." Posted Sep 10, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
2.5/4	"Like a championship fight, a movie is often reviewed in rounds. This being said, I think I'll go the safe route and call the film a draw." Posted Sep 10, 2007	Resurrecting the Champ (2007)	61%
3/4	"Zombie is still learning and I'm sure in time will deliver a true horror classic of his own. Until then, enjoy his latest effort." Posted Sep 10, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
3.5/4	" "Look at me!," Harry screams in anger early in the film. A command I highly recommend." Posted Aug 2, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
3/4	"James has a big screen quality that reminded me of Chris Farley, who could also find a way to be both sweet and funny" Posted Aug 2, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
4/4	"Zac Efron, the star of the popular Disney Channel production "High School Musical," is a triple threat on screen. As I sat in the theatre and listened to the audience and their reactions I couldn't help but think this guy could turn out to be this generat" Posted Aug 2, 2007	Hairspray (2007)	91%
