2.5/4	" It looks like a great program, but this documentary is too scattered to be all that interesting. Too many kids, too much action, not enough time." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 10, 2008	The Little Red Truck (2008)	29%
3.5/4	" Happy-Go-Lucky doesn't condemn the optimistic way Poppy approaches life. It's wondering why there aren't more people like her." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 10, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	97%
2.5/4	" A well-crafted but curiously generic spy thriller that, for its final hour at least, comes off as formulaic as its title." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	52%
3/4	" In Rachel Getting Married, Jonathan Demme takes what could have been another routine trip to dysfunction junction and turns it into a truthful and revelatory celebration of humanity." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 3, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	84%
	" The symbolism of author Jose Saramago's parable eludes Meirelles, and the film eventually breaks down into a series of self-conscious, stylized tics and narrative nonsense." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 3, 2008	Blindness (2008)	41%
	" Thought is absent in Religulous, as is imagination. The movie is Maher's monument to Maher, as ugly and hateful as anything he decries in the film." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	68%
3/4	" A Lady and the Tramp for the Taco Bell set, Beverly Hills Chihuahua fits nicely into the long line of Disney dog movies designed to delight children and animal lovers." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 3, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	43%
3/4	" It�s a mildly poignant generation-gap story." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Sep 26, 2008	A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2008)	67%
	" Richard Gere and Diane Lane engage themselves fully with the flimsy material, making their one-note characters engaging, sympathetic and always perfectly coiffed, even in the face of gale-force winds." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	29%
2/4	" Disturbia team shows it can steal from a variety of sources -- not just Hitchcock -- in this laughably convoluted thriller about Big Brother run amok." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Sep 26, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
	" *Striking just the right balance between sarcastic and sweet, Ghost Town* breathes new life into supernatural comedy.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	85%
2/4	" Yes, this is a movie made by stoners for stoners." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Sep 12, 2008	Surfer, Dude (2008)	0%
	" Burn doesn't rank up with the Coens' best comedies, but, with its bevy of Beltway types acting purely out of self-interest, it has its finger on the pulse of the times more than its slight framework might indicate." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Sep 12, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
3/4	" Penelope Cruz kick-starts Woody's latest, turning it into a dizzy, daffy treatise on the place of passion in art and love." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 15, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	80%
3.5/4	" A definite candidate for documentary of the year." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 8, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
3/4	" Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz continue to do their best to offset the summer's more infantile impulses in this fine adaptation of Philip Roth's novel." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 8, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
2/4	" Pants is less interested in sisterhood and navigating young adulthood than it is in selling glossy girl fantasies of exotic locales and bodacious boyfriends." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 6, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
	" *For all its faults -- and they are numerous -- Swing Vote* is a hard movie to dislike by the end simply because it nails the uplifting moment that it has spent two hours chasing.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Aug 1, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	38%
3/4	" The movie may not be a masterpiece, but it makes for good theater all the same." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	63%
3/4	" Pleasant enough dollop of inspiration about 68-year-old Pearl Fryar, who turns his depressed South Carolina hometown into a tourist destination." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 25, 2008	A Man Named Pearl (2008)	72%
3/4	" Forget the questions, bro', and just watch vintage footage of these Aussies and South Africans riding giants off Hawaii's North Shore and showing those big kahunas what's what." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 25, 2008	Bustin' Down the Door (2008)	64%
3.5/4	" One of the year's standout indie efforts." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
	" Ferrell and Reilly do the man-child thing again, only this time it's R-rated and not quite as funny." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
	" It's a sweet, low-key charmer." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Grocer's Son (2008)	88%
	" The movie could be about koala bears or unicorns or leprechauns with just a few small revisions to the screenplay." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	35%
3/4	" Ambitious and relentlessly dark and altogether better than its predecessor." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
2.5/4	" The storytelling is still stuck in the 1950s, but the modern 3-D technology is pretty impressive at times in this family adventure." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	62%
3/4	" Beastie Boy Adam Yauch shoots and scores with this documentary that follows eight elite high-school basketball players showcasing their skills along with 16 other prospects in an all-star game at Harlem's (in)famous Rucker Park court." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	74%
2.5/4	" *Writer-director Peter Tolan has glibness down pat, but can't quite wring the intended pathos from his characters' desperate lives. He does, however, give Broderick his best part since Election." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 27, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	40%
2.5/4	" It manages to be brutal, deranged, ridiculous and heart-rending, all at once." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	The Unknown Woman (2008)	61%
3/4	" It's Trumbo's words -- unfiltered and often unhinged -- that make this doc worth seeing." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Trumbo (2008)	78%
2.5/4	" Red-Bull-fueled adolescent male fantasy cribs from the past, while offering a few brain-splatting diversions of its own." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
3/4	" *But then, Kit,* written by Ann Peacock and directed by Patricia Rozema, is that rare all-ages movie that never talks down to its audience and isn't afraid to use history to illuminate current times.*" -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	79%
1/4	" It's a movie that spoofs intelligence in the most unintelligent way possible and stretches the boundaries of plot-free filmmaking into frontiers until now explored only by former cast members of Saturday Night Live." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 20, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
3/4	" It's creepy, silly fun. And if it came from anyone else, it would be recognized as such. One thing is certain: The man hasn't lost his ability to entertain." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	18%
3/4	" It's a great premise, and the movie rarely disappoints. (OK, we didn't need the song-and-dance number, but still ...) Hynes has style to spare and storytelling chops. The low-key Go-Getter is well worth discovering." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Go-Getter (2008)	43%
2.5/4	" Conrad has the humanity part down. Even if his little film is something of a mess, that counts for something." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
3.5/4	" *DreamWorks Animation's best movie since Shrek." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jun 6, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	89%
3/4	" The raw power of this unassuming snapshot would make Vittorio De Sica proud." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	95%
3.5/4	" Going beyond merely being a devil's advocate, Bell makes for an intelligent, engaging presence, forgoing the annoying forced naivet� proffered by Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock for tough compassion." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
2/4	" Flabby, unfocused reunion in which the emotional content is drowned out by the incessant pursuit and plugging of designer shoes, gowns and handbags." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	50%
	" [Director] Bialis chronicles all this with perhaps too much thoroughness. But, given the nature of the subject, you get the sense that she doesn't want to leave out any voice, no matter if they add little in the way of new information." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 22, 2008	Refusenik (2008)	94%
	" It's a heroic story, but one delivered in a ploddingly familiar fashion with beautiful actors doing their best to give their noble characters a trace of humanity. The film's lack of emotional vibrancy is rather remarkable given the historical events." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 22, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	27%
3/4	" *Ford, like Spielberg, is completely in his comfort zone here. That means no risks, but in the case of The Crystal Skull, that kind of safety can still yield plenty of old-fashioned fun." -- Los Angeles Daily News* Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
	" Stylish thriller a return to form for New Wave vet Lelouch." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
	" A bracing portrait of a country divided." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Unsettled (2008)	100%
3.5/4	" The movie also contains many moments of joy and humor, folded into a fantastic, shifting structure that keeps the film wildly alive. It's an impressive first film." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2008	Reprise (2008)	86%
	" Director Michel Hazanavicius and screenwriter Jean-Francois Halin have steered the film away from the coarseness of the Austin Powers movies toward something a bit more elegant and cinematic, though still shamelessly silly." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
	" [This] movie symbolizes the continued erosion of the Merchant Ivory brand into an entity producing films that belong on cable television, not in movie theaters." -- Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 9, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	47%
