5/10	" Director Hardwicke obviously believes that romantic chemistry is composed of nothing more than two hours worth of smoldering glances." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Nov 21, 2008	Twilight (2008)	44%
7/10	" It's not that Quantum of Solace disappoints, so much as it doesn't live up to the promise no doubt unfairly expected after the brilliance of Casino Royale." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Nov 13, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	66%
4/4	" Slumdog Millionaire is, quite simply, one of the best films of 2008." -- Christianity Today Posted Nov 13, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	92%
6/10	" Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a worthy, if inconsequential, sequel to its 2005 forerunner. While still high on laughs, this revisit throws in a lot more "drama," diluting some of the fun factor that drove the original." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Nov 7, 2008	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	60%
6/10	" Role Models is like a comfortable, old sweater. It may be somewhat threadbare and out of fashion, but you wear it because it's familiar and snug and makes you feel cozy." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Nov 7, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
6/10	" It is unfortunate that something this exceptionally manicured could also be this listless and dull." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Nov 1, 2008	Changeling (2008)	57%
7/10	" Despite its unquestionably bad manners, it is, at its core, a sweet and innocent tale of two people who discover love in the most profane of situations." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Nov 1, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
3/4	" Pride and Glory is a solid if unimaginative addition to a cop genre becoming increasingly devoid of originality." -- Christianity Today Posted Oct 24, 2008	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%
8/10	" By the end of W., you respect, root for and empathize with Bush. No small feat, considering the source." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Oct 17, 2008	W. (2008)	58%
3/10	" Oh grow up Hollywood!" -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Oct 17, 2008	Sex Drive (2008)	40%
6/10	" *Like the intelligence officers it portrays, Body of Lies* uses double-crosses and slight of hand to conceal a fairly formulaic story and a climax as offensively conventional as it gets.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	50%
8/10	" City of Ember is an obsessively creative and wondrous film, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hollywood need not dumb down its fare to appeal to kids of all ages." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	48%
7/10	" We may never see an original sports movie ever again. The last truly original sports movie was Rudy, because it was never a story about winning %u2014 it was a story about heart. The Express shares a lot of Rudy's DNA." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Oct 10, 2008	The Express (2008)	62%
8/10	" They say that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Maher comes on like honey, but the provocateur is an unrepentant vinegar man." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	71%
7/10	" *Brazen yet bashful, Infinite Playlist* is a delight of a film, leavened with a phosphorescent soundtrack and enough quirky performances to last the rest of the year.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Oct 3, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
6/10	" Appaloosa is firmly grounded in genre orthodoxy even as it teases at the edges of nonconformity. The results are decidedly mixed." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Oct 3, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
6/10	" *Try imagining the pitch for Flash of Genius: "It's a true story about the guy who invents the intermittent windshield wiper blade."" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Oct 3, 2008	Flash of Genius (2008)	57%
2/10	" One of the most unpleasant viewing experiences of my life." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Oct 3, 2008	Blindness (2008)	42%
2/4	" In a year light on family films, this may be a good bet. Exciting adventure, admirable messages, and good, clean fun--but be warned, its bite is worse than its bark!" -- Christianity Today Posted Oct 3, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	41%
4/10	" Spike Lee bites off far more than he can possibly chew and ends up choking on his overindulgence. Despite flashes of extraordinary genius, Miracle at St. Anna is little more than a cartoon masquerading as a mature movie." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Sep 26, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	33%
8/10	" There's nothing wrong with occasionally indulging in an entertaining film purely because it is an entertaining film. What is the point of a healthy, nourishing dinner if there isn't any desert at the end?" -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Sep 26, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
3/4	" The filmmakers hope we see parallels with Georgiana and the life of Princess Diana, who somehow found a way to channel her pain into good. And they are there, to be sure." -- Christianity Today Posted Sep 22, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
3/4	" Funny and heartwarming, this love letter to New York City's Upper East Side is refreshingly free of flashy special effects and paranormal gags." -- Christianity Today Posted Sep 22, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	84%
8/10	" Burn After Reading, played for laughs by two directors clearly in prankish moods and never above inflicting their sadism on audiences, is the flipside of the Coen's existential dread in No Country for Old Men." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Sep 12, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
4/10	" As one of the cops in this awful police thriller might say, "There's nothing to see here, folks."" -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Sep 12, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	22%
5/10	" Traitor isn't exactly what you would call a bad movie. It's just not half as clever or intelligent as it thinks it is." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 28, 2008	Traitor (2008)	56%
7/10	" Hamlet 2 is deliriously profane and marvelously hilarious, an outrageous satire that uses absurdist humor to ask an age old question: what happens when you love something but are not remotely good at it?" -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Aug 23, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	62%
5/10	" Although the film is yet another in a long line of hackneyed, low-brow comedies this year, it is rescued by the witty charms and bubbly personality of its star." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
4/10	" *...while The Longshots* is far from original - much less first-class - it is effective in its own, middle-of-the-road way.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Aug 22, 2008	The Longshots (2008)	38%
3/10	" Director Paul W.S. Anderson is one of Hollywood's most consistent directors - he can always be counted on to make a terrible movie." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	41%
7/10	" **Vicky Cristina Barcelona continues the second coming of Woody Allen, begun in 2005 with the terrific Match Point.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Aug 15, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	81%
7/10	" Bottle Shock is a feel good movie in the best possible way. You'll want to bottle this feeling and take it home with you." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 15, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
2/10	" Fly Me to the Moon is not a great movie. It's not even a good movie. It some ways, it's barely passable. Yet my litany of criticisms will fall on deaf ears - so long as those ears are attached to children roughly 5 to 10 years old." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 15, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
8/10	" While cognizant of the fact that the year is a little more than half over, I nonetheless feel confident in proclaiming Tropic Thunder to be the funniest film of the year-- equal parts gifted satire and laugh-till-it-hurts farce." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 12, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
6/10	" Ann Brashares' novel is brought to life in this sequel with the same heart, earnestness and, let's face it, saccharine sweetness of the 2005 original." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
7/10	" *While one would hardly label Pineapple Express* a taut action thriller, there are enough fisticuffs, gunplay and explosions to make one suspicious of the film's dubious parentage.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Aug 8, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
1.5/4	" Exactly the sort of ridiculous, vacuous, throwaway fare we've come to expect during the summer season." -- Christianity Today Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	14%
8/10	" Who needs fiction when the truth is funnier, richer and far more moving?!" -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 1, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
7/10	" If Swing Vote seems ridiculously improbable (and it is), then it might be best to remind yourself that the presidency coming down to the votes of just one county in Florida seemed far-fetched once upon a time, too." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Aug 1, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	36%
3/10	" The X-Files is a profoundly boring film. While the characters appear to move in real time, the film seems to be stuck in slow motion, as if all the action is taking place underwater or within wet cement." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%
3/10	" Step Brothers is a movie about adults acting like children, by adults acting like children, for adults who like to act like children." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	54%
9/10	" *Do not worry about going in with unrealistic expectations. Your expectations pale in comparison with what The Dark Knight* is prepared to deliver.*" -- Colorado Springs Gazette* Posted Jul 18, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
5/10	" Mamma Mia! works spectacularly despite its best efforts at self-sabotage." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
7/10	" Hellboy II's expansive imagination so elevates the material that you find yourself wishing it was put to the service of something greater." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 14, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
5/10	" The Wackness is a moderately funny variant of the traditional coming-of-age saga. But it never creates characters likeable enough to care for." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 14, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	68%
7/10	" It's nice to be reminded, as Shakespeare taught us, that truth comes from the most unexpected places, even the booze-ree" -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 14, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	88%
7/10	" The film is directed and lensed with such subtlety and old-fashioned restraint that you might overlook the exquisite cinematic flourishes throughout." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	70%
7/10	" To be sure, Hancock mines the superhero mythology and pays homage to the rich folklore on which it feeds and sustains itself, but what it does with the raw materials is thoroughly, refreshingly unique." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
7/10	" Kit Kittredge is one of the best kid's movies to come out in years. For a moment anyway, this film made me desperately want to be a kid again." -- BrandonFibbs.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	78%
9/10	" You have heard it said that there are but two constants in the universe: death and taxes. It's time a third constant was added to the list: Pixar can do no wrong." -- Colorado Springs Gazette Posted Jun 27, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
