2/5	" It's a long ride to a familiar destination." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Oct 30, 2008	Passengers (2008)	17%
3/4	" It has the potential to be culturally bridging in its way, and that makes looking for Muslim comedy in the Western world worthwhile." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 3, 2008	Allah Made Me Funny (2008)	54%
3.5/5	" It is a teen romantic comedy that largely fits the familiar template but is also fleshed out with atmosphere, a nice blend of broad goofiness and sophistication, and two appealing leads who bring it to life." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Oct 2, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
	" A mockumentary-thriller-broad-comedy-psychological-drama-sex-farce-insider-Hollywood satire that . . . wait for it . . . could use some focus." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 29, 2008	Callback: The Unmaking of Bloodstain (2008)	n/a
	" The movie is well shot and edited, the rugby scenes are enjoyable (if likely puzzling to the uninitiated) and Strong's earnestness excuses at least some of its predictability." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 26, 2008	Forever Strong (2008)	27%
1.5/5	" Ultimately, its most unforgivable sin is that it's simply not funny." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 22, 2008	My Best Friend's Girl (2008)	16%
3/5	" To its target audience, it will be another self-empowerment fable with loads of imagination and colorful, painterly images (and a keen marketing blast for Disney fairies)." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 19, 2008	Tinker Bell (2008)	83%
2/5	" There's a charming restaurant scene, some nifty hand-to-hand combat and the cast is great looking. But pretty much all the things that made the original so original are filtered out of this un-original." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 8, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	9%
2/5	" Babylon feels like an almost random pastiche of good and bad. There may be a deadly virus, or genetic engineering, or a virgin birth, or some combination of all, it's not clear." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 2, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
1.5/5	" *Perhaps they'll eventually make one called Spoof Movie, which would brilliantly parody the genre by being consistently funny." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Sep 2, 2008	Disaster Movie (2008)	2%
4/5	" First-time writer-director Rodger Grossman bangs out a visceral, energized biopic that captures the vibrant idiocy of punked-out youth and a tortured soul gaining his wish of cult status." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 22, 2008	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	44%
3/5	" Factory made, nothing new... and really funny." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 22, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
	" Sixty Six may find a niche audience, but instead of depicting a boy's first steps toward manhood -- ceremony aside -- it turns into an uninvolving portrait of self-absorption." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 6, 2008	Sixty Six (2008)	65%
2/5	" The soul of the grape, that thing that elevates a wine to greatness, proves here as elusive on screen as in the bottle." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 6, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
4/5	" Delightfully unpredictable." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baghead (2008)	78%
3/5	" The kids' mistakes make you cringe -- often with laughs of recognition -- and, during the film's most involving moments, makes you long to comfort them through their trials and cheer on their triumphs." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 25, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
2/5	" There's probably not enough fuel beyond cute chimps in Candyland to achieve orbit for the kids." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	35%
1.5/5	" *Thanks to natural selection, without the script, direction or comedic chops to survive, Homo Erectus* will be extinct from theaters soon enough.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jul 11, 2008	National Lampoon's Homo Erectus (2008)	n/a
3/5	" As obvious as the film's uncredited sources are, it's a pleasant-enough diversion with a notable song score." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 3, 2008	Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008)	100%
3.5/5	" It appeals to kids while evoking genuine emotion without excessive sentimentality." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	78%
3/5	" A heaping helping of political incorrectness gleefully spiced to offend just about every sentient being." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 13, 2008	Poultrygeist (2008)	65%
2/5	" More disastrous than disaster movie." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 6, 2008	Polar Opposites (2008)	n/a
2/5	" The film tries to be a cautionary tale against corporate interference in both the environment and technology, but it really serves as a warning beacon against enervated staging and ineffectual dialogue." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 6, 2008	Solar Flare (2008)	n/a
4/5	" Shotgun Stories is a cautionary tale about revenge, but more than that, it is a beautiful, authentic-feeling portrait of a family and a place." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Shotgun Stories (2007)	91%
4/5	" Zombie Strippers is a B-movie whose ideas and wit set it well above the great unwashed of the genre." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	41%
2/5	" With its emphasis on its interweaving stories, the movie offers no commentary on the phenomenon of increasingly pried-apart privacy, positive or negative." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 14, 2007	Look (2007)	61%
3/5	" *Dang it, the little animated rodents are cute. Not as cute as the über-rendered daemons of The Golden Compass, but they'll do." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	26%
3/5	" Making her feature debut after several documentaries, Parmar displays rookie jitters with excessive cutting and camera moves whose restlessness occasionally recalls Mumbai soap operas." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 21, 2007	Nina's Heavenly Delights (2007)	11%
1.5/5	" Even after appropriately lowering expectations, it's kind to call this one a cut below." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 7, 2007	Hatchet (2007)	49%
2/5	" Self-Medicated must have been cathartic for writer-director-producer-star Monty Lapica to make, but its therapeutic value for audiences is questionable." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 31, 2007	Self-Medicated (2007)	35%
3/5	" *Though it's no Romeo and Juliet, David & Layla* is an offbeat cross-cultural romance with a positive message.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jul 19, 2007	David & Layla (2008)	53%
2.5/5	" The film is passionately made, but its unapologetically romantic views of war and the Old South leave a bitter aftertaste." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 8, 2007	The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams (2005)	n/a
4/5	" Documentarians Ricki Stein and Annie Sundberg do a good job of explaining, through [interviewee] Steidle, the complex conflicts in the region." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 1, 2007	The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)	98%
1.5/5	" *This movie abruptly becomes a too-convenient black history lesson, complete with a truly egregious deus ex machina. The Salon* is a cut below.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted May 11, 2007	The Salon (2005)	13%
3.5/5	" Rock the Bells is stressful to watch, but its entertaining stage performances and document of people under pressure should interest even non-rap fans." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 4, 2007	Rock the Bells (2007)	83%
4/5	" The real savagery is in the satire, coldly measuring the lengths to which contestants might go and the depths to which the protagonists sink." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 27, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
2/5	" *A zillionaire collects 10 hard cases from death rows around the world (how about that, even Running Man* rip-offs are being outsourced).*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 27, 2007	The Condemned (2007)	16%
3.5/5	" An often-fascinating document of change -- incremental as evaporation, or catastrophic as flooding." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 19, 2007	Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007)	95%
3.5/5	" Hair High is not for everyone, but it's not like anything else out right now." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 12, 2007	Hair High (2006)	78%
1/5	" *This one is an instant Mystery Science Theatre 3000* classic, ideal for watching on TV with loud friends.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 12, 2007	Pathfinder (2007)	11%
2/5	" Writer-director-producer Glen Stephens does occasionally have grim fun, but something as irredeemably sadistic as this packaged as entertainment is almost depressing." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 9, 2007	Hoboken Hollow (2005)	n/a
3/5	" A worthy genre entry and certainly better than most recent horror movies -- thanks mostly to its lead." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 5, 2007	The Reaping (2007)	9%
2/5	" Despite the doll-like cartoonishness of the human figures (O Pixar, what hast thou wrought?), the filmmakers seem to expect us to take this animated romp seriously. Too seriously." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	TMNT (2007)	33%
2/5	" The film is clearly well-meaning but hampered by the heavy-handed direction of Robert Shaye and egregious use of James Horner's score, constantly cuing the warming of the heart." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
2/5	" The film and its makers simply try too hard. Director and co-writer Judy Hecht Dumontet can't stop 'helping' with overactive editing and scoring." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	Tortilla Heaven (2007)	33%
3.5/5	" Behind the Mask is original and weirdly delicious, and executed with gory aplomb." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 15, 2007	Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007)	74%
4/5	" A rare glimpse of everyday life in Cuba, where big questions and obstacles confront the rappers at seemingly every turn." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 8, 2007	East of Havana (2007)	80%
2/5	" *The genre usually gets the super-slick, smash-cutting, roving-camera treatment, but Full of It* feels oddly low key despite the fantastical elements. Some pre-fab parts don't quite fit together.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Full of It (2007)	6%
3/5	" The choices made by the characters are sure to infuriate some, but at least they add to the discussion." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 26, 2007	G.I. Jesus (2006)	50%
2.5/5	" Any movie that starts in a wax-fruit factory can't be all bad." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 26, 2007	Funny Money (2006)	43%
