3/4	" Milk achieves what it sets out to do, telling an inspiring tale of one man's quest to legitimize his identity, to give hope to his community." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Milk (2008)	93%
4/4	" *It's an ode to a place* (exotic to some, familiar to others), yes, but more than that, Australia is state of mind: wonderment, grandeur, beauty, love, escape, hope.*" Posted Nov 26, 2008*	Australia (2008)	53%
3/4	" A simple and inspiring story told through the medium of film. But for what it is, it definitely gets the job done." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Pray the Devil Back to Hell (2008)	100%
3.5/4	" In an election season where personal faults are turned into salacious attack ads, it's reassuring to see that the typically salacious Stone is willing to exercise some restraint." Posted Oct 17, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
2/4	" It's meant to "prove" that religious belief and intelligence are mutually exclusive. If you believe that, this movie is for you. For everyone else, it's a trifling and shoddy tirade." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Religulous (2008)	71%
2.5/4	" Slick, dramatic, and occasionally convincing, but at the end of the day it feels less like reality and more like Hollywood-does-a-race-fable." Posted Sep 22, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	44%
2.5/4	" Appaloosa is entertaining, certainly, but it feels rather slight and feeble next to some of its more superior recent cohorts in the western genre." Posted Sep 22, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
3/4	" Most of Hancock's faults can be forgiven because Will Smith creates a quintessentially American hero: flawed, frayed, but always sacrificing for the sake of others." Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hancock (2008)	39%
2.5/4	" The film becomes less comprehensible as it goes along, and the audience -- expecting a patented M. Night ending -- is left with no answers, explanation, or narrative closure." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
2.5/4	" A foreboding look at our conception of the human being: as a mechanism that can be sculpted, doped, enhanced, and perfected because, well, because we all want to be powerful and attractive." Posted May 30, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
3/4	" *When so many documentaries today seem concerned only with arguing* a point, it's nice to see something like this which seeks only to reveal.*" Posted May 9, 2008*	Surfwise (2008)	100%
3.5/4	" Thoroughly, refreshingly unique, a film that weaves a tight, timely tale that is equal parts heart-warming and wrenching." Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
3/4	" *The filmmakers' hope, presumably, is that kids will see Chicago 10* and get stirred into action%u2014taking to the streets to take down The Man, Yippie style.*" Posted Feb 29, 2008*	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
2.5/4	" There are several standout moments, but as a whole it feels rather flat and arrested. For a film about Purgatory, however, that might be appropriate." Posted Feb 8, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	81%
3/4	" *The experience of sight and sound that one encounters in U23D* is undeniably breathtaking. . . The next best thing to actually being at a live concert.*" Posted Jan 23, 2008*	U2 3D (2008)	92%
3/4	" Farrell and McGregor deliver remarkably nuanced performances in and through their mundane one-dimensionality, taking average Joes and give them average strengths and weaknesses." Posted Jan 23, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	49%
1/4	" A film that revels in defeatism and hyperbolized dystopia; a would-be political statement that is more insipid than insightful." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Day Zero (2008)	21%
3/4	" Touches on Dostoevskian notions of playing God and purging the world of its lowlife rabble, and at times Todd seems something of a proletariat hero, exacting class reparations by night and knife." Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
3.5/4	" The Savages does a good job keeping things in perspective by pointing out the "what can you do?" absurdity of it all. We all face mortality, and we can all laugh at it too." Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Savages (2007)	89%
2.5/4	" *It's not The Shawshank Redemption, but for what it is, The Mist* is an admirable venture into the always foggy, sometimes treacherous landscape of the human soul.*" Posted Nov 21, 2007*	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
	" The passion that is evident in the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir is contagious and admirable. Many Christian churches could learn a few things from this secular outfit." Posted Nov 19, 2007	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	60%
4/4	" A wonderful, rare film that portrays one of the most under-represented but universal human neuroses: the desire for friendship or platonic love." Posted Oct 12, 2007	My Best Friend (2007)	75%
3/4	" *Very funny and entertaining, a sometimes-dark comedy somewhere between Four Weddings and a Funeral* and Meet the Parents.*" Posted Oct 12, 2007*	Death at a Funeral (2007)	63%
4/4	" Even as this film is being proclaimed as Herzog's "most accessible" yet, there are still some serious layers of beauty and depth that go beyond most any film you'll see this year." Posted Oct 12, 2007	Rescue Dawn (2007)	90%
3/4	" A compelling portrait of a particularly tumultuous time in American history and how the media of the day adapted to and helped foster the many changes that were going on." Posted Oct 12, 2007	Talk to Me (2007)	81%
2/4	" *Too quick, too slight, and too cliched to make a splash in the company of such high-quality adaptations like LOTR* and Harry Potter.*" Posted Oct 12, 2007*	The Seeker (2007)	13%
2/4	" The latest in a long list of hyper-politicized, sensationalistic documentaries that are high on scare tactics and shock value, but low on progressive discourse." Posted Oct 12, 2007	Lake of Fire (2007)	94%
2.5/4	" *Unabashedly builds on stock sports movies of the past (the tagline could have been Friday Night Lights* meets Field of Dreams) and follows formulas to an almost comical degree.*" Posted Oct 12, 2007*	The Final Season (2007)	25%
1.5/4	" *The love feasted upon in this film is not about commitment or selflessness. No, the love in this Feast* is very fickle and selfish.*" Posted Sep 29, 2007*	Feast of Love (2007)	41%
3/4	" Yuma portrays a West that is stark, barren, and morally ambiguous. Like all the great "revisionist westerns" of recent years, very few characters are all good or all bad." Posted Sep 19, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	88%
