4/4	" Penn goes way deep and soulful in a highly ingratiating performance that's the one to beat for the Best Actor Oscar." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Milk (2008)	93%
2.5/4	" Never boring but often exhausting, Australia finally pulls itself together for an emotionally satisfying ending. Or six. Pass the gravy." Posted Nov 26, 2008	Australia (2008)	52%
1.5/4	" Rappaport does a yeoman's job in this tonally confused oddity." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Special (2008)	58%
2/4	" An ambitious gay musical fantasy inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream, Tom Gustafson's Were the World Mine is far better in concept than execution. The shoestring budget hurts." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Were the World Mine (2008)	63%
2/4	" Overall it's basically a crass marketing concept closer to Beverly Hills Chihuahua than a fully conceived work of art like Wall-E." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Bolt (2008)	84%
2.5/4	" *Never underestimate the value of slight but charming flicks like Anthony Bryne's How About You." Posted Nov 14, 2008*	How About You (2008)	70%
4/4	" If Ingmar Bergman and Wes Anderson some how collaborated on a movie together, I'd guess their sensibilities would yield something like Arnaud Desplechin's darkly hilarious, brilliantly acted A Christmas Tale." Posted Nov 14, 2008	A Christmas Tale (2008)	90%
4/4	" Four stars simply aren't enough for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, which just may be the most entertaining movie I've ever labeled a masterpiece in these pages." Posted Nov 13, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	92%
2/4	" *[A] bizarre art-house equiva lent of The Bucket Lisy." Posted Nov 7, 2008*	The Guitar (2008)	35%
1.5/4	" Writer-director Jared Harris (and actor and son of the late Richard Harris) claims to have spent 10 years researching this sordid milieu, yet, for all the detail, it ends up playing like an especially lurid '80s TV movie." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Gardens of the Night (2008)	64%
2/4	" A by-the-numbers follow-up to the highly successful 2005 feature that was no great shakes to begin with." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	60%
1.5/4	" Sort of a riff on The Sunshine Boys with hints of Dreamgirls, about all Malcolm D. Lee's relentlessly crass comedy has going for it are some amusing Motown-ish numbers and the chemistry between Mac and his real-life friend Samuel L. Jackson." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Soul Men (2008)	44%
1.5/4	" While sporadically funny, the sophomoric My Name Is Bruce is no Bubba Ho-Tep." Posted Oct 31, 2008	My Name is Bruce (2008)	30%
2.5/4	" A valuable reminder that for nearly three decades, basketball was dominated by Jewish players -- and coaches who found the sport an ideal vehicle for assimilation in the United States." Posted Oct 31, 2008	First Basket (2008)	67%
3/4	" A four-handkerchief documentary if there ever was one." Posted Oct 31, 2008	Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)	98%
3/4	" *You'd have to be made of stone not to weep at the confession that caps I've Loved You So Long." Posted Oct 24, 2008*	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	91%
3.5/4	" It's the first movie this year that demands at least two viewings to absorb its densely textured humor, which makes earlier Kaufman works such as Adaptation and Being John Malkovich look positively straightforward." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	64%
3.5/4	" Changeling is another remarkable addition to Eastwood's directorial canon." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
3/4	Click here to read article Posted Oct 18, 2008	The Class (2009)	100%
3/4	" Hammer, whose blunt name belies the movie's many subtle touches, has his own distinct style. He also has an enormous trust in the audience to sort out this wounded family's miseries without the assistance of narration or even a musical score." Posted Oct 18, 2008	Ballast (2008)	86%
3/4	" A short and sweet anti-romantic comedy, Good Dick puts together a heav ily depressed young woman with a homeless clerk who rents her porn at a Los Angeles video store." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Good Dick (2008)	47%
2/4	" A fairly toothless Tinseltown expose." Posted Oct 17, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	53%
0/4	" Thoroughly inept in just about every aspect." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	27%
2/4	" Price-Bythewood has encouraged fairly broad performances from these formidable actresses for characters who aren't terribly well developed in her script." Posted Oct 17, 2008	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	59%
3/4	" More of a hastily executed charcoal sketch than a portrait, Oliver Stone's W. is nonetheless an often compelling, tragicomic psychological analysis of Dubya, viewed through the prism of his relationship with an allegedly disapproving father." Posted Oct 17, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
1.5/4	" Overlong, obvious and indifferently acted." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Choose Connor (2008)	43%
2/4	" *Anyone who's ever seen an After School Special knows where the family-friendly Breakfast With Scot* is headed, no matter how well intentioned.*" Posted Oct 10, 2008*	Breakfast with Scot (2008)	48%
3.5/4	" Poppy, memorably played by Sally Hawkins, is one of those individuals who sees every glass as half-full." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
2/4	" Body of Lies is being hailed in some quarters as a 'new' kind of war thriller. While this glitzy production may attract audiences suffering from battle fatigue, it's nothing of the sort." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
0.5/4	" Even if it weren't three years too late to parody Moore (ineptly played by Kevin Farley), Moore's ridiculous tribute to Cuban health care in Sicko is far funnier than anything in this desperately laughless farce from David Zucker." Posted Oct 6, 2008	An American Carol (2008)	14%
3.5/4	" Worth celebrating as an overdue return to form by '80s icon Jonathan Demme." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	88%
1/4	" Any movie in which the hero accidentally kills a Chihuahua can't be a total loss, but How To Lose Friends & Alienate People comes pretty darned close." Posted Oct 3, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	38%
2.5/4	" *The flaws of Flash of Genius* are worth putting up with for Kinnear's committed performance...*" Posted Oct 3, 2008*	Flash of Genius (2008)	57%
2/4	" A veteran London police in spector who's a devout Mus lim is intriguingly at the center of Jag Mundhra's Shoot on Sight, which starts out as a thriller inspired by that city's 2005 Tube and bus bombings but gets bogged down in a family soap opera." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Shoot on Sight (2008)	25%
2/4	" Nights in Rodanthe aims straight for the tear ducts as well, but this weepie is a dry well." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	30%
2/4	" The sad thing is, there's a perfectly fine, Sam Fulle-rish, 90-minute war movie on a worthy subject trapped somewhere in the self-indulgences of Miracle at St. Anna." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	33%
3/4	" *Beautifully photographed by Dean Semler, Appaloosa* is the best Western since Open Range and shows there's still life in this most unfashionable of genres.*" Posted Sep 19, 2008*	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
2/4	" Less notable is the soap-ish plot, which leans heavily on coincidence and melodrama." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Battle in Seattle (2008)	53%
2/4	" Pieced together from Tim Burton and various other sources with more desperation than inspiration." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Igor (2008)	32%
1/4	" The clich�s are thick as the kudzu in 1956 Alabama." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Hounddog (2008)	17%
2/4	" An often charming romantic drama that outstays its welcome at nearly two hours." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Greetings from the Shore (2008)	63%
3/4	" Towelhead is definitely not for all tastes, but it shows a bravery that's increasingly rare in American movies." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	48%
1/4	" Al Pacino and Robert De Niro collect bloated paychecks with intent to bore in Righteous Kill, a slow-moving, ridiculous police thriller that would have been shipped straight to the remainder bin at Blockbuster if it starred anyone else." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	21%
1/4	" A total disaster." Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
3/4	" *Jamie Bell has his best role since Billy Elliot* in Mister Foe, a darkly comic tale of a twisted teen on the cusp of adulthood.*" Posted Sep 5, 2008*	Mister Foe (2008)	72%
2/4	" The film plays out pretty much exactly as you would expect -- which won't bother some people one iota." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Everybody Wants to be Italian (2008)	0%
1/4	" Another Gay Movie was actually funny with some heart, but Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild is merely a crude series of sketches loosely revolving around an ersatz game show presided over by drag queens RuPaul and Lady Bunny." Posted Aug 29, 2008	Another Gay Sequel (2008)	21%
2/4	" YPF caused a minor sensation at last year's Toronto Film Festival, but I guess the chance to see Canucks even partially disrobed is a selling point up there." Posted Aug 29, 2008	YPF (2008)	40%
3/4	" *A solid, intelligent international thriller showcasing the underrated Don Cheadle in an intriguing and morally ambiguous role, Traitor* is the best end-of-August movie I've seen in years.*" Posted Aug 27, 2008*	Traitor (2008)	56%
3.5/4	" *I thought Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke* was pretty much the last word on the national tragedy and disgrace that followed Hurricane Katrina's assault on New Orleans. Maybe not.*" Posted Aug 22, 2008*	Trouble the Water (2008)	98%
