C-	"*The only brazen thing about the film is how shamelessly it rips off School of Rock." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	34%
B-	"*The 3-D animation work in Fly Me to The Moon* is brisk and sweet.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 15, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
C	"Gooey, ponderous, and maudlin. It's less a tale of religious rebirth than a faith-based Hallmark card." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 15, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	36%
F	"George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
B+	"*Turns into an Internet Age version of Before Sunrise." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 11, 2008	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	88%
B-	"West does an earnest job, but that's the problem: He never conjures Crash's psychotic danger. Neither does this eager, flawed, scrappy biopic." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	41%
D	"It's a claustrophobic dud, full of ludicrously purple tough-guy dialogue and lip-smacking vamps in bikinis (how hot!), with so much monotonous hip violence there's scarcely room for anything else." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	9%
D+	"*The politics of making wine is a great subject for a movie, but this clunker doesn't do it justice; Bottle Shock* is broad and coy where it needs to be smart.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 11, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	48%
A	"Director Isabel Coixet sees David's tragedy, but also his life force, and she draws brilliant work out of Cruz." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	Elegy (2008)	71%
B	"It's fascinating to see the process by which skateboarding, in all its concrete grittiness, was transformed into a mainstream activity of consumer cool." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 6, 2008	Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator (2003)	79%
B	"Pineapple Express is a fitfully amusing tale of drugs and crooks and general dilapidation, but the more it goes on, and the loopier it gets, the less it connects with experience. It becomes Apatow's hash-bar version of a cynical action joyride." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 6, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
A-	"The climactic game, in which Roy, in a way that defies prediction, attempts to sink the shot of his life, is the most rousing sequence of the year, a celebration of what it really means to win." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 5, 2008	Tin Cup (1996)	69%
A-	"In Frozen River, [Melissa] Leo's acting has a brittle severity and power. Every moment of her performance feels torn from experience, and so does the movie, which finds a suspense in broken lives that are hanging in the balance." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 31, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	78%
C	"*Fraser, who at 39 looks perhaps five years older than this kid, needed a wholesome offspring-sidekick like a third arm. Then again, it's not clear that the world needed a third Mummy* movie.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
B	"Brideshead Revisited is opulent and watchable, yet except for Thompson's acting, it's missing something -- a grander, more ambivalent vision of the England it depicts dying out." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 24, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	69%
B	"Step Brothers is hit-and-miss, but it made me wish that the usual American comedy of 'how stupid can we get?' had this much rage." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	50%
A-	"A ghostly and startling tale of Native Americans in Los Angeles -- a fusion of documentary and fiction -- in the late '50s. Never previously released, it's a revelation." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	89%
B-	"This luminously shot concert movie reveals that Berlin is far from the lost masterpiece the movie wants it to be." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 17, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	76%
C+	"*I won't really defend Mamma Mia!, but I will recommend how to watch it: Just stop rolling your eyes and listen." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
A-	"*Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August, a shrewdly dramatized look back at the bursting of the dot-com bubble." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 16, 2008	August (2008)	35%
A-	"In this, the last performance he completed before his death, Ledger had a maniacal gusto inspired enough to suggest that he might have lived to be as audacious an actor as Marlon Brando, and maybe as great." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 14, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
B-	"Wandering around the earth's stalactite-dripped core exerts a primal appeal even in a dumb kiddie joyride like this one." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 9, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
B+	"To make a comic-book fantasy this derivative yet this dazzling requires more than technique. It takes a director in touch with his inner hellboy." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 9, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	87%
C+	"*Adapted from the 2003 Monica Ali novel, Brick Lane* is one of those feminist cries in the dark in which the heroine, a saintly sufferer, is more admirable than interesting.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 3, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	65%
A-	"Gonzo, the documentary by Alex Gibney, taps the full fascination of its subject: Dr. Hunter S. Thompson." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 3, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	88%
B-	"*Jonathan Levine's The Wackness* is a studiously offbeat coming-of-age crowd-pleaser set in New York City during the long-ago, far-away days of...the summer of 1994.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 3, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
A	"An exultant comedy of American repression and revolt." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 30, 2008	The People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996)	87%
A	"It whisks you to another world, then makes it every inch our own." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
D+	"If you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-mano duels with mops drenched in urine, then this is for you." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
C-	"As a satire of new-style collegiate types, this MTV production actually evinces a few germs of rancid wit. If only the laborious high-concept plot had been deep-sixed -- and, along with it, the cynically blah heroes." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 16, 2008	Dead Man on Campus (1998)	15%
C	"*The first road movie that could fit into the mumblecore genre of dithering youth angst: The Go-Getter* travels, but it doesn't go anywhere.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Go-Getter (2008)	40%
A	"[Herzog] wants us to see how these quirky researchers, in their lust to explore, are acting out a drive as primitive as nature: the need to break away from the world in order to find it." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 13, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	94%
B-	"The audience, in all likelihood, will be so grateful not to see another joyless, inert, pea green dud that it may not mind that The Incredible Hulk is just a luridly reductive and violent B movie -- one that clears a bar that hadn't been set very high." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 11, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
C-	"*Graham is charming, but Miss Conception* is a cloddish biological-clock bedroom farce.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jun 6, 2008	Miss Conception (2008)	11%
B-	"*In The Mother of Tears, the last installment of the 'witch trilogy' that began, three decades ago, with Suspiria, an excavated urn unleashes a torrent of homicidal madness in Rome." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jun 6, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	49%
B+	"When Did You Last See Your Father? taps into the conflicting feelings so many of us can have about parents who haunt us because they're difficult, which is part of what makes them irreplaceable." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 6, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
A-	"Just about all animated movies teach you to Believe in Yourself, but the image of a face-stuffing panda-turned-yowling Bruce Lee dervish is as unlikely, and touching, an advertisement for that message as we've seen in quite some time." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jun 4, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
B-	"Savage Grace has been shot with decadent cool creaminess, yet it's a rather slipshod movie." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 30, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	41%
D	"An overbearing lampoon of American war profiteering -- a comedy so leaden it could make a liberal hate liberal Hollywood." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 30, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
B	"*Stuart Gordon, the mostly under-the-radar director of Re-Animator, pops back into view with this amusing trifle -- a piece of scuzzy tabloid noir." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted May 30, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
B-	"*It sounds stupid enough, and ultimately is, but the director, Bryan Bertino, stages The Strangers' early scenes with spooky panache." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	42%
B+	"A movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 28, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
B+	"Mary is a spiritual descendant of Holly Golightly, and there's an echo, as well, of Edie Sedgwick, the late Andy Warhol superstar who moved the American-princess-on-a-bender mythology into the drug-rock era." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 27, 2008	Party Girl (1995)	75%
B	"The Firm amusingly satirizes the New Traditionalist aspirations of today's young urban elite -- not so much the lifestyle itself as the illusion of utter security it represents." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 26, 2008	The Firm (1993)	76%
D	"*It's like Schindler's List* crossed with The Sound of Music, and Roger Spottiswoode directs it in a stiff, lifeless, utterly dated style of international squareness.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted May 23, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	27%
B+	"Whatever your persuasion, you'll walk out enriched." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 23, 2008	Constantine's Sword (2008)	83%
B+	"It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 23, 2008	Poultrygeist (2008)	68%
A-	"A good documentary will take you places you didn't plan to go, but I didn't really expect that from Bigger, Stronger, Faster, an incisive and compulsively watchable look at America's love affair with steroids." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 23, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
A-	"A stirring drama of frayed nationality and hungry connection." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 23, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	89%
A-	"It takes skill -- a certain sly, even perverse nimbleness of craft -- to make an homage to schlock movies that treats them as works of art. Viva, written and directed by its star, Anna Biller, could just about be the third featurette in Grindhouse." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted May 19, 2008	Viva (2008)	68%
