"It never develops its clever ideas, it just repeats them until they're played out. By the end of the film there's nothing left." -- Film Blather

Tropic Thunder (2008)84%

B-
 
"This is a mightily strange movie, at times very funny; I can certainly recommend it to those who are curious about it. Those who can't stand being around stoners may like it less." -- Film Blather

Pineapple Express (2008)68%
/
A
 
"It's a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing." -- Film Blather
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)94%
/
B-
 
"I wanted to like the movie more; there's plenty here for a cinephile to dig. But ultimately it's underwhelming -- and, with the exception of a couple uncanny images, forgettable." -- Film Blather

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%

D
 
"Meant as a non-stop roller-coaster ride, it mistakes spectacle for energy, fancy effects for wonder, and a lazy meta-plot for a clever update of a classic." -- Film Blather

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)61%

"Summer '08 has been full of decent, largely predictable rollercoaster rides, but here's one that's a little off-kilter, and kind of unique." -- Film Blather

Wanted (2008)73%

A-
 
"The fact that Wall-E's not merely adorable, but central to a serious, thoughtful, adult story is still another illustration of Pixar's downright heroic commitment to the craft." -- Film Blather

WALL-E (2008)97%

C-
 
"The film has no discernible rhythm, little in the way of wit, and the plot plays like Myers considered it an unpleasant obligation." -- Film Blather

The Love Guru (2008)14%

C+
 
"Why create a universe this utterly gonzo if all you're going to do is repeat the same 'believe-in-yourself' and 'everyone-is-special' pablum kids have heard a million times?" -- Film Blather

Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%

"No matter what you think about Zohan's humor or its politics, in no universe should it have been longer than 85 minutes. 112 is punishment." -- Film Blather

"I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed." -- Film Blather

Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)51%

"A wise, engaging, and astoundingly comprehensive look at the steroid 'controversy.'" -- Film Blather
Posted May 29, 2008
 
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)97%
/
B+
 
"Deft, clever and fast-paced; it hits all the nostalgic touchstones and introduces memorable, worthwhile new players." -- Film Blather
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)77%
/
B
 
"A two-hour-and-fifteen-minute sugar rush of a film, dazzling and exciting, a little too frantic and a little too long." -- Film Blather
Posted May 8, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)36%
/
D
 
" I am so tired of these miserable things that pass for romantic comedies these days, thoughtless assembly-line products that recycle the same components in ever-dumber packaging over and over again." -- Film Blather

What Happens in Vegas (2008)27%

"It's offensive because it's so incredibly, almost supernaturally, stupid." -- Film Blather

"Every time the movie feels like it's about to cross over into the realm of the genuinely inspired, something or someone slams on the brakes." -- Film Blather

"For something that was pitched as a screwball comedy, Leatherheads is kind of lumbering, unwieldy, and awkward." -- Film Blather

A-
 
"Precise, clever, wonderfully strange, and so funny it hurts, it is simply the best studio comedy since The 40-Year Old Virgin." -- Film Blather

"Enormously entertaining storytelling but highly problematic documentary filmmaking." -- Film Blather

"In its desperation to deliver an action-packed suspense set piece of an ending, 21 asks the audience to suspend all disbelief, and basically begs to be laughed at." -- Film Blather

"This out-of-nowhere wonder charms from the first frame to the last, and joins Charlie Bartlett on the list of early-2008 films that are both wholesome and intelligent." -- Film Blather
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
Penelope (2008)52%

"I am sick to death of the clueless, arrogant buffoon that Will Ferrell has made his stock-in-trade, and desperate to see the talented comic do something -- anything -- else." -- Film Blather

Semi-Pro (2008)21%

"It's easy to pick apart an action movie. It's much harder to produce one this clever, fast-paced and involving." -- Film Blather

Vantage Point (2008)35%
/
B+
 
"Charlie Bartlett is rated R but is perfect, even salutary for young teens and older tweens. It's sincere, unabashedly positive, smart and funny -- a supernaturally rare combination." -- Film Blather

"After lovingly setting up the intricate relationships among its characters Spiderwick loses itself in the action and pretty special effects, only recovering in time to do a rushed, pat wrap-up." -- Film Blather

"At its best when it considers the shell of a man its hero has become; the ways that war and violence have become a part of his being, and what that has done to him." -- Film Blather

"If Cassandra's Dream doesn't have the heft of Match Point, mostly due to an ending that tries too hard, I'd argue that it's a much more human film." -- Film Blather
