2.5/4
 
" The movie was directed by Catherine Hardwicke. She uses her great discovery, Nikki Reed, in the role of the beautiful Rosalie Hale. Reed wrote Hardwick's Thirteen when she was only 14. That was a movie that knew a lot more about teenage girls." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" Remove the vampire elements, and this is the story of two lonely and desperate kids capable of performing dark deeds without apparent emotion." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" I sorta enjoyed myself. I could have done without the scene where he floats in anguished reverie, making Hamlet sound like an extrovert." -- Chicago Sun-Times

2/4
 
" I repeat: James Bond is not an action hero! Leave the action to your Jason Bournes. This is a swampy old world. The deeper we sink in, the more we need James Bond to stand above it." -- Chicago Sun-Times

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)91%
/
3/4
 
" You have to meet the film's visual style halfway. It's shot in contrasty black and white, slo-mo, fast-mo, sometimes jagged cutting, sometimes an erratic hand-held camera that suggests the jerky way Sumida must view the world." -- Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Nov 6, 2008
 
Late Bloomer (2008)n/a

3.5/4
 
" The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is not only about Germany during the war, although the story it tells is heartbreaking in more than one way. It is about a value system that survives like a virus." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" Despite the title and the ads, this is not really a horror movie but more of a demonstration of the skills of the animators. The segments are like calling cards. Younger horror movie fans will not much identify with it." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" RocknRolla isn't as jammed with visual pyrotechnics as Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Smoking Barrel (1998), but that's OK, because with anything more happening, the movie could induce motion sickness." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" Sally Hawkins been in movies before, including Leigh's "Vera Drake" and Woody Allen's "Cassandra's Dream," but this is her star-making role. She was named best actress at Berlin 2008. I will deliberately employ a cliche: She is a joy to behold." -- Chicago Sun-Times
