4/5	" Saura aims for the Fellini masterpiece, but lacks both Fellini's playfulness and easy fusion of fantasy and reality." Posted Nov 25, 2008	Tango (1998)	74%
1/5	" If Lord Byron had been the love child of James Van Der Beek and Jack Elam and shopped at Hot Topic, he'd have looked a lot like Edward." Posted Nov 25, 2008	Twilight (2008)	44%
4/5	" It's a good movie. It's just not a movie for which I can work up much personal enthusiasm." Posted Nov 19, 2008	The Sea Inside (2004)	83%
3.5/5	" A sometimes-brilliant film that can barely stand under the weight of its self-inflicted festoonery of doo-daddery." Posted Nov 19, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	88%
4.5/5	" What it's ultimately about isn't Poppy's unflagging cheerfulness, but about how she uses her cheerfulness to cling on to an increasingly precious commodity: hope." Posted Nov 19, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
2.5/5	" The opera sequence served briefly to arouse my already flagging interest, but what followed plunged me into galloping ennui. Put bluntly, the movie bored the hell out of me." Posted Nov 19, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	66%
4/5	" An outburst of filmic inventiveness and a nicely convoluted plot with elements of outright fantasy, nearly all of which works." Posted Nov 12, 2008	The Perfect Crime (2005)	85%
1/5	" To say that mush-minded incompetence runs wild here would be to insult mush-minded incompetence everywhere." Posted Nov 12, 2008	House (2008)	0%
3.5/5	" Great stuff? No, not really. But it's entertaining and funnier than most things that show up claiming to be comedies these days." Posted Nov 12, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
4/5	" *Like nearly all of Derek Jarman's films, his War Requiem* is an uneven work where it's often easier to admire what was attempted more than what was actually achieved.*" Posted Nov 5, 2008*	War Requiem (1989)	n/a
5/5	" A richly entertaining work that overflows with stylish set pieces (including what is easily the funniest and most economical sex scene ever committed to film)." Posted Nov 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
.5/5	" What transpires is everybody's guess, and all of it leads to what may take the blue ribbon for the least exciting climax ever to festoon a horror picture." Posted Nov 5, 2008	The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)	3%
4/5	" The material is sufficiently compelling to override most of the film's problems. In short, it's a great story, but only a good film." Posted Nov 5, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
5/5	" The sense of a work of art coming to life has rarely been more beautifully or excitingly portrayed. This is a film not to be missed." Posted Oct 30, 2008	Topsy-Turvy (1999)	90%
4/5	" *With all due respect to film critic Andrew Sarris, Max Oph�ls' legendary Lola Mont�s* is not 'the greatest film ever made.'*" Posted Oct 30, 2008*	Lola Montes (1955)	87%
1/5	" *It's a tale you've seen a good 100 times before, and if only 85 of those 100 are actually better than Pride and Glory, the other 15 aren't any worse." Posted Oct 30, 2008*	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%
.5/5	" *The ad campaign for Saw V* assures the viewer, 'You won't believe how it ends.' This is true, because you won't believe it could possibly be this lame.*" Posted Oct 30, 2008*	Saw V (2008)	14%
4/5	" As an absurdist take on conspiracy thrillers, it's close to brilliant -- assuming you get the joke, which audiences don't seem to have in 1979." Posted Oct 22, 2008	Winter Kills (1979)	88%
4.5/5	" Imperfect and excessive -- and also essential." Posted Oct 22, 2008	The Damned (1969)	91%
4/5	" What Stone and his screenwriter have made is hardly a pro-Bush movie, though they have made one that is -- if not sympathetic -- at least not unsympathetic." Posted Oct 22, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
3.5/5	" *All in all, Bees* gets more right than wrong, making it worth a look.*" Posted Oct 22, 2008*	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	59%
1/5	" Much happens -- some of it incomprehensible, most of it pointlessly preposterous and all of it slightly less involving than watching algae grow on a stagnant pond." Posted Oct 22, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
3.5/5	" Taken as a lively adventure yarn, it's enjoyable, but the claims that there's more to it than that ring a little hollow." Posted Oct 15, 2008	The Naked Prey (1965)	82%
3.5/5	" Thematically, this is pretty heady material. It's too bad that the movie itself isn't up to the depth of its themes." Posted Oct 15, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	49%
4/5	" A film of elegance, wit and some power that's just a bit too compromised by its rather soapy underpinnings." Posted Oct 15, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
2.5/5	" Rarely more than competent and never inspired. But it more or less passes for a few cheap thrills if you're not too demanding." Posted Oct 15, 2008	Quarantine (2008)	60%
3/5	" S bit like a variant on the number-five dinner on a Chinese restaurant menu: Enjoyable enough at the time, but 30 minutes later you don't remember what you've eaten." Posted Oct 7, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	38%
4/5	" *If a film is going to rub your nose in excrement, it ought to have the power to haunt you afterwards. Somehow -- for all its boldness -- Blindness* lacks this.*" Posted Oct 7, 2008*	Blindness (2008)	41%
4/5	" A cleverly constructed piece of work that by turns amused me, made me think, alarmed me and occasionally offended me." Posted Oct 7, 2008	Religulous (2008)	71%
2/5	" After all, nothing's funnier than a sloppy drunk fishing her chewing gum out of a public toilet she's just puked in, right?" Posted Oct 7, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	71%
4.5/5	" If it feels a bit like an old Howard Hawks western (no slacker with the subtext himself) -- that's not a bad thing." Posted Oct 7, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
1/5	" In less enlightened times those responsible for making animals talk would have been burnt at the stake as sorcerers. That's why those times were known as 'the good old days.'" Posted Oct 7, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	41%
4/5	" It's big. It's glossy. It's rather noisy. But it's also rather charming in its old-fashioned way." Posted Sep 30, 2008	That Hamilton Woman (1941)	n/a
3.5/5	" Ultimately I was left without any clear notion as to what was being said through the film and why." Posted Sep 30, 2008	The Lucky Ones (2008)	33%
4/5	" Leaves most raunchy comedy contenders in the dust of sophomoric "dirty" mindedness." Posted Sep 30, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
4.5/5	" A film that's suspenseful, fun, inspiring and finally, even moving. In other words, see this movie." Posted Sep 30, 2008	Man On Wire (2008)	100%
1/5	" Fireproof isn't merely preaching to the already converted; it's helping to further alienate the unconverted and the skeptical." Posted Sep 30, 2008	Fireproof (2008)	39%
3/5	" Everything is painfully set up and contrived, while almost none of it seems even passingly real. In its favor, however, the movie looks good and the stars are appealing." Posted Sep 30, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	30%
4.5/5	" Almost entirely devoid of the outright thrills associated with the genre, while managing to be one of the creepiest, most unsettling movies you're ever likely to see." Posted Sep 24, 2008	Vampyr (1931)	100%
3.5/5	" One of those worthy movies that is a lot easier to admire than like." Posted Sep 24, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	86%
2.5/5	" Tepid stuff, with a plot so transparently predictable that even 5-year-olds who haven't been to the movies much will be saying, 'I've seen it.'" Posted Sep 24, 2008	Igor (2008)	32%
1/5	" Induces that dull pain at the back of the head that I believe to be the result of brain cells crawling away to die of embarrassment." Posted Sep 24, 2008	My Best Friend's Girl (2008)	16%
4.5/5	" *The twists are what make Ghost Town* its very own dose of ectoplasmic antics.*" Posted Sep 24, 2008*	Ghost Town (2008)	84%
2.5/5	" *A wrongheaded, glossy mediocrity -- a perfect companion piece to the summer's earlier offerings of Sex and the City* and Mamma Mia!.*" Posted Sep 17, 2008*	The Women (2008)	13%
3/5	" The closest Perry has come to making something that looks like it belongs on a movie screen and not on a TV set or on the wall of a church basement." Posted Sep 17, 2008	Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys (2008)	51%
4.5/5	" In the world of the Coens' darkly funny film, we're all going to hell and the only possible response is to sit back and be amused by the sheer absurdity of the ride." Posted Sep 17, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
3/5	" *It's soap -- soap with culture* -- but still soap.*" Posted Sep 10, 2008*	The Glass Mountain (1949)	n/a
4/5	" Perhaps the lightest and most purely playful film of Bu�uel's career. It's an oddly charming black comedy dressed up as a kind of thriller." Posted Sep 10, 2008	The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (1955)	100%
1/5	" This one may have oozed on over into September, but it's every bit as bad as the previous month's studio-floor sweepings." Posted Sep 10, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	9%
4.5/5	" As adult entertainment, there's nothing around that can touch it." Posted Sep 2, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
