	"Baby Mama confirms that if Tina Fey is in something she didn't write herself, it just ain't funny." -- Slant Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
	"My Mexican Shivah kvetches its way through an insipid vision of cross-cultural conflict." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 30, 2008	My Mexican Shivah (2008)	33%

	"21, in which Kevin Spacey lecherously sizes up a line of female strippers at a Vegas casino, now serves as the greatest testament to the man's talent as an actor." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jul 21, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
3/4	"Man on Wire becomes a thrilling study in contrast, succeeding not only at extolling Philippe's superhuman performance but attesting to the achievements of those who similarly defied death to give the man the stage he walked on." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jul 21, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
2.5/4	"*With Back to Normandy, a nostalgic travelogue with philosophical aspirations, director Nicolas Philibert not only returns to the scene of a crime but the scene of a movie shoot." -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jul 21, 2008	Back to Normandy (2008)	88%

	"Oliver wants to defend restorative justice, but his interest in this form of victim-offender mediation registers only as an afterthought." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 16, 2008	Take (2008)	44%
	"Felon gives everyone their tidy and expected due but outlines a realistic enough cycle of how a man's life can easily spiral out of his control." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 16, 2008	Felon (2008)	59%
	"Though not one for literal smoke and mirrors, master of horror Brad Anderson, with his panache for arousing fear from harried reality and rotted atmosphere, is still a shaman." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 16, 2008	Transsiberian (2008)	88%
	"*Essentially a collage of mistrelsy reaction shots, College Road Trip* is both a cinematic atrocity and colossal blow for minority representation.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jul 8, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	13%
	"*No disrespect to Channing Tatum, who does one better than J.T. by bringing both sexy and* baggy back, but pencil-thin dweeb Adam G. Sevani is the star of this nonstop dance-a-thon.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jul 8, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	24%

1.5/4	"*A tapestry of intersecting Hollywood lives that illuminates nothing except for writer-director Jason Freeland's obvious fondness for Short Cuts." -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jul 7, 2008	Garden Party (2008)	11%
1.5/4	"A cheap inventory of old-hat period romping that downplays Houdini's contempt for psychics while saddling him with corny mommy issues." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jul 3, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	46%
	"*Like almost all other Iraq war movies, Stop-Loss* is as much about the war as it is about making movies--and like its kin, it isn't any good.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jul 1, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
2/4	"*Delivers less insight into the psychology of why young girls turn to prostitution than HBO's Hookers." -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jun 30, 2008	Very Young Girls (2008)	70%

3/4	"WALL-E goes beyond inviting comparisons to E.T., Number 5, R2D2, even Chaplin's Little Tramp--the Waste Allocation Load Lifter relies on them, for writer-director Andrew Stanton understands this robot janitor as a study in memory and inheritance." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%

	"*Like slogging through a pool of molasses, My Blueberry Nights* may or may not wreck your love affair with Wong Kar Wai.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jun 25, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	48%
	"*A bathetic Afterschool Special, City of Men* is a trendy illumination of social despair.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jun 25, 2008	City of Men (2008)	76%
