	" If only the movie had some bite, some edge, some anger, some insight. Instead it's generic, staying far away from the darker temptations of the rock scene." -- Washington Post Posted Aug 20, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	39%
	" Whatta movie: booze, unhappy French people, Alan Rickman and really cool pickup trucks." -- Washington Post Posted Aug 6, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
	" *Thank god that when he became a man, Will Ferrell never put away childish things. His Step Brothers* is so childish it seems to arrive in diapers, and that's not bad; it's good.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	54%
	" *[Ledger's] performance is also the most interesting thing in the film, and when the Joker is absent, The Dark Knight* loses most of its energy and dynamism.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%

	" The tweener girls for whom it is aimed deserve better. A mind is a terrible thing to waste." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	78%
	" The problem is that director Peter Berg, aided and abetted by Smith and Theron and third banana Jason Bateman, seem to have made it literally, not realizing its out-of-whack tonalities and grotesque plot twists were meant to be played for laughs." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	39%
	" Kicking It illustrates the transformative power of sports." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 26, 2008	Kicking It (2008)	57%
	" The movie is slick and treacly and goes nowhere that hasn't been gone before." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 26, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	70%
	" The result is a wallow in old movie pleasures, full of battles, flying dust, thousands of men on horseback, beautiful women, treachery, slaughter, really cool hats and even more slaughter." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 19, 2008	Mongol (2008)	87%
	" As I say: darned funny! Weightless as froth, forgettable as dew, but pretty darned funny." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
	" The movie just sloshes along in a heavy, slightly overdone way." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 12, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	39%
	" The Happening stutter-steps its way in this direction and that to a disappointing ending." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	" The film isn't quite a memoir; it's also a platform to branch off into other areas, briskly and informatively and with a good deal of clearheadedness." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 5, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
	" In the end, the movie feels as if it exists only to display the Sandler's biceps." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	35%
	" *I like watching snakes eat mice just as much as the next fella, maybe even more, but The Strangers* turns the gobble-'em-up into an ordeal. It's a fraud from start to finish.*" -- Washington Post* Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	44%
	" It's romantic manliness at its purest, almost but not quite schmaltz, ideally calculated to please true believers and ironic snorters at once." -- Washington Post Posted May 22, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	" The camera never leaves the beleaguered compound, and Beaufort itself becomes a character in the story, a surrealistic zone of tunnels, bunkers and sandbags, about as far from the possibility of heroism as possible." -- Washington Post Posted May 16, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	87%
	" Everyone in the movie...is fabulous, and Podeswa has an ability to distill history into a few powerful images." -- Washington Post Posted May 16, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	66%
	" What is memorable is the film's portrait of a man of honor in a sleazy world, possibly a metaphor for the struggle of the artist to stay honorable in a world of backbiting, betrayal and hunger for easy money." -- Washington Post Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	69%
	" Not that What Happens in Vegas is any kind of great movie, but it's an exceedingly bright comedy that never makes you feel stupid for enjoying its brisk pacing, smart lines, sound construction and superb comic acting." -- Washington Post Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
	" If you don't fall in love with it, you've probably never fallen in love with a movie, and never will." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 28, 2008	Dark City (1998)	76%
	" I stayed to the bitter end out of some romantic sense of professional obligation. Don't make that same mistake!" -- Washington Post Posted Apr 24, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	41%
	" Not merely Pacino's over-mannered, near-histrionic performance, but the movie itself could be characterized as busy, busy, busy. It's so full of plot twists and revelations and exploding sports cars that its very perkiness comes to seem comic." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	5%
	" Documentarian Stephen Walker's brisk, ironic style of narration and frank inclusion of himself in the observations contribute mightily to the enterprise, which is also aided by his honesty." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 17, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
	" Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? is so infantile you expect the answer to be, 'Not at my house!'" -- Washington Post Posted Apr 17, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	37%
	" It's pretty much for people who know the game well and want their perceptions massaged, not challenged." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 17, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	69%
	" It is the ultimate in movie as pane of glass, completely un-self-conscious of its own movieness but simply an intensely focused examination of human behavior on a narrative armature." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	69%
	" At its heart, the movie has a good story to tell: the lumbering oaf who�s not nearly as stupid and not nearly as gutless as all the hot dogs from the big city think." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 9, 2008	Cop Land (1997)	71%
	" The movie's proudest accomplishment is that it revises our version of Moses toward something more immediate and believable, more humanly knowable." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 19, 2008	The Prince of Egypt (1998)	79%
	" Do you like the clammy as opposed to the scary? Do you like dread rather than drama, anguish and emotional coagulation rather than screamfests?" -- Washington Post Posted Feb 12, 2008	Chuck & Buck (2000)	84%
	" The movie is as tawdry as someone else's lingerie, yet not without a certain prurient watchability." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 11, 2008	Wild Things (1998)	64%
	" *What's both depressing and impressive about Cruel Intentions* is the profound misanthropy of its meaning.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Feb 8, 2008	Cruel Intentions (1999)	47%
	" This is Cameron at his best." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 29, 2008	Titanic (1997)	82%
	" Marjane Satrapi, with co-director Vincent Paronnaud, has taken her work and turned it into a vigorous, revealing and tragic film." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 24, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	96%
	" A rouser, a stunner, almost a jubilee of emotion and suspense by the old standards of Hollywood melodrama, circa the time the actual events themselves took place." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	79%
	" Gosh, does this movie have it all or what? Smart dialogue, Julia Roberts in a bikini and looking grrrrrr-eattttt, and Russian helicopters going boom! It's also short! What's not to love?" -- Washington Post Posted Dec 20, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	82%
	" Among the CGI monsterfests of the holiday film season, this quiet, humorous drama of oppositional wills from different generations coming to terms with each other is one of the miracles of the season." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 14, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	85%
	" This film features what look like living plush toys." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	26%
	" The movie simply delivers too many colorfuls for its own good, none of whom establish a true emotional identity, and thus it isn't moving, it's busy." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
	" Awake is a pleasing if negligible diversion." -- Washington Post Posted Dec 3, 2007	Awake (2007)	24%
	" The movie doesn't idealize, which makes it ideal." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 21, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
	" There's a glib twist at the end, which seems out of character, and the movie could easily lose 20 minutes, maybe 40." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 21, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
	" The movie means to approach the creepy wonder of Roald Dahl but gets only the creepy part right." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 15, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	" I say the story works, but I wish they'd teach these avatars to act." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 15, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	71%
	" The movie comes on as a novelty item, meaning it's so full of disparate parts and so unable to approach coherence, it just sits there and burns out." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 8, 2007	Romance & Cigarettes (2007)	53%
	" I just don't like it very much." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 8, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
	" Vaughn's con-man jive doesn't get much play in this one; he spends most of his time as a bitter creep, and the writing (by Dan Fogelman) isn't sharp enough to make the hipster-at-the-North-Pole theme pay off in any meaningful way." -- Washington Post Posted Nov 8, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	21%
