	"*A thriller about the moral complexities of the war on terror, Traitor* is really a movie at war with itself.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Aug 18, 2008	Traitor (2008)	n/a
C+	"A fairly simplistic plot, which is mostly just a clothesline to string together effective action sequences, eventually runs out of gas and the momentary recapturing of the old thrill fades away." -- EmanuelLevy.Com Posted Aug 10, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
	"A dispiritingly witless sequel with very little personality but a lot of frenetic comic banter and numbing set pieces." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
	"*The recent assembly-line remaking of recognizable horror titles continues with The Hitcher, a dreary updating of the 1986 Rutger Hauer thriller." -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 28, 2008	The Hitcher (2007)	19%
	"*A painful regurgitation of memorable moments from recent Hollywood blockbusters, the spoof film Epic Movie* is almost entirely devoid of laughs.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 28, 2008	Epic Movie (2007)	2%
	"*Playing like an overlong DVD version of one of his earlier, funnier, PG-13 films, Step Brothers* finds Will Ferrell diving into raunchier, coarser terrain.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	50%
	"Playing to his strengths, star and co-writer Will Ferrell reaps many good comic moments early on in Adam Mckay's feature to compensate for a sluggish second half." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 25, 2008	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	73%
	"*Offering a little bit of everything but not quite enough of any one thing, Get Smart* is a likable jumble of genres that would have benefited from being less ambitious.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
	"*A comedy built around the belief that people speaking in foreign accents is endlessly funny, You Don't Mess With The Zohan* is - how you say? - not good.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
	"While Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan display genuine warmth in the early going, they don't get many good moments once plot machinations take over." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"*A smart comedy for adults, Baby Mama* is a consistently funny pleasure, filled with charismatic performances and a nicely understated emotional element.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
	"Buoyed by Chiwetel Ejiofor's terrific lead performance, this drama has more than enough smarts and philosophical underpinnings to compensate for familiarity in other regards." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
	"One of the most memorable nights in a teenager's young life is grist for a pretty unmemorable movie in this tame horror entry that follows conventions to the letter." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	8%
	"While not without its funny moments, this labored sequel ups the nudity and gross-out factor while diminishing the sweetness and evident camaraderie of its appealing leads." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	55%
	"A generic, violent underdog story that pays a lot of lip service to non-violence when its characters aren't busy kicking and punching the tar out of each other." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	24%
	"*Although based around a familiar, Rashomon-style concept, Vantage Point* ratchets up its intensity so effectively that the lack of originality hardly matters.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	"Tabloid curiosity Paris Hilton may be the main draw, but it's doubtful that even her celebrity will do much to raise the prospects of this aggressively moronic comedy." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	"*Jessica Alba may be easy on the eyes, but a lack of dramatic heft makes her hard on The Eye." -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
	"*For a would-be frightfest built around a supernatural premise, One Missed Call* is so glum and businesslike that it's not nearly as much pulpy fun as it should be.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
	"*The derivative National Treasure: Book of Secrets* is a smooth, lightweight action film for undemanding audiences.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
	"Though stylishly shot and occasionally exciting, this adaptation of the popular video game can only go so far with its mindless violence and cardboard characters." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hitman (2007)	15%
	"The film may occasionally strain too hard for magical whimsy, but there's no disputing its sweetness or poignancy." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Saw IV (2007)	19%
	"*Staying mostly faithful to the successful blueprint of its two earlier installments, Saw III* is an adequate sequel that works well enough on its own terms.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Saw III (2006)	27%
	"*Though not without its screwball charm, The Brothers Solomon* suffers from a lack of comic inspiration long before the film reaches the third trimester.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
	"Director Ben Affleck displays sensitivity to his story's thematic undercurrents, but he hasn't yet developed the authorial voice needed to enliven the conventional plotting." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
	"*Merrily amoral, shamelessly watchable and outlandishly funny, Shoot 'Em Up* is not for all tastes, but those with a dark sense of humor will have a ball.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"A needlessly elaborate plot somewhat spoils the pairing of these martial-arts icons, but this sturdy B-movie thriller has enough style to overcome its formulaic trappings." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	War (2007)	14%
	"Underdog works best when spoofing superhero conventions, but the film goes to the dogs thanks to a drab story and frequent stabs at heartwarming bromides." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Underdog (2007)	14%
	"*No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour* in this third installment.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
	"This indie-minded effort suggests a filmmaker too enamored by his influences and struggling to establish a cogent vision of his own." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
	"*Two up-and-coming stars get left at the cinematic altar in License To Wed, a badly strained romantic comedy with enough plot contrivances to fill a reception hall." -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	License To Wed (2007)	8%
	"Evan Almighty is an ungainly melding of religious paean, big-budget studio comedy, feel-good family niceties and summer-blockbuster spectacle." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Evan Almighty (2007)	23%
	"Filmmaker Eli Roth tries to enliven the formula, but this sequel loses the grim surprise of the original without adding much new in terms of plotting or gory set pieces." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hostel: Part II (2007)	46%
	"An action film about a hyper-violent reality contest that quickly devolves into a monotonous series of hand-to-hand combat scenes." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Condemned (2007)	15%
	"Like its attractive leads, director DJ Caruso's smart teen thriller may be self-conscious, but it is undeniably appealing," -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Disturbia (2007)	67%
	"The Hills Have Eyes 2 offers another round of dull, gory fright scenes that neither push the horror envelope nor exhibit any noticeable ingenuity." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)	12%
	"The strongest ingredient remains the four reptiles' incorrigible charm, which easily outclasses a muddled storyline and concessions to the prepubescent male audience." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	TMNT (2007)	33%
	"*A disappointment for both Robin Williams and Men In Black* director Barry Sonnenfeld, this vacation-from-hell plotline quickly grows tedious*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	RV (2006)	23%
	"Promoting environmental conservation, this bland family film never generates much interest in either its human or animal participants." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hoot (2006)	25%
	"*Verging on the preposterous, director Tom Dey's Failure To Launch* relies on attractive stars to overcome its lackluster execution.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Failure to Launch (2006)	26%
	"*Looking to follow the Cheaper By The Dozen* formula to box office success, Yours, Mine & Ours is a tiresome kids comedy that's mostly loud and mean-spirited.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Yours, Mine, & Ours (2005)	5%
	"*Playing out like Remember The Titans* for basketball fans, Glory Road is yet another would-be inspirational true story that follows sports-movie conventions.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Glory Road (2006)	56%
	"*Despite a rich premise, Just Friends* ultimately fails to live up to its early potential, settling into broad comedy that shortchanges the romantic possibilities.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Just Friends (2005)	44%
3/4	"A solid but mostly uninspired melding of the adventure and fright that have been the benchmarks of the franchise." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	89%
3/4	"Emotionally affecting but dramatically wobbly, "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" touchingly illustrates the sting of poverty without overly resorting to childish shenanigans." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 22, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"Better than average but not worth phoning home about." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 17, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
	"A stubbornly affecting drama that�s strongest in its quieter moments." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 10, 2008	The Stone Angel (2008)	47%
	"Expired pretends to be a valentine to society�s outcasts, but it�s just one more indie comedy that mocks its characters while sucking up to its knowing audience." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 26, 2008	Expired (2008)	60%
	"A film that views heterosexual relationships with the sensitivity of a beer commercial." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 5, 2008	Miss Conception (2008)	11%
