2.5/4	" *Roguishly insightful and quietly riveting, Happy-Go-Lucky* is innocuously entertaining in its free-wheeling spirit...methodically merry-minded and meaningful...*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Dec 21, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
2.5/4	" Although slightly scathing in its cynical look at highly paid Hollywood hacks rambunctiously jumping through artistic creative hoops, Happened is impishly on the spot in its aimless ribbing at movie wheeling-and-dealing madness." -- Movie Eye Posted Dec 21, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	54%
3/4	" *[An] affectingly insightful and well-informed documentary. Myths* taps into a special kind of Southern tradition%u2014with underlying racial overtones as a societal hovering factor.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Dec 4, 2008	The Order of Myths (2008)	100%
3.5/4	" *Both triumphant and vastly disturbing, Van Sant's Milk* is a penetrating portrait of an unconventional political figurehead immersed in the chaotic struggles of his defining times*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Dec 4, 2008	Milk (2008)	92%

3.5/4	" Aronofsky has devised one of the most gritty and intensely authentic sports flicks in recent memory. Rourke is absorbingly raw and reflective...deeply affecting in its razor-like observations" -- Movie Eye Posted Dec 2, 2008	The Wrestler (2008)	98%

1.5/4	" Letting the hulking Vince Vaughn near a Christmas movie is just like giving a knife to your crazy drunken uncle during a seasonal family gathering--it's reckless, pointless and ultimately foolish in concept." -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 29, 2008	Four Christmases (2008)	25%
3.5/4	" ...adventurous and exuberantly triumphant. Clearly, this underdog rags-to-riches saga percolates in originality and blistering spirit...fascinatingly lyrical and mischievous" -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 29, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	94%
2/4	" Twilight sparkles for its intended audience of indiscriminate adolescent females. However, it will only be deemed as a softened, hackneyed horror show of synthetic affection for the rest of us." -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 25, 2008	Twilight (2008)	50%
3.5/4	" [A] thoroughly contemplative and reflective small scale feature. Tender and relentlessly subdued in its low-key poignancy...quaint yet [a] gut-wrenching narrative." -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 24, 2008	Wendy and Lucy (2008)	84%
2.5/4	" *Awkwardly sentimental but nevertheless sharply spry in song and sass, Lee's acid-tongued Soul Men* certainly have something to sing about.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Nov 21, 2008	Soul Men (2008)	44%
3/4	" Wain's loopy-minded laugher does carry some credible distinction as being somewhat earnest within its snappy, obnoxious boundaries." -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 20, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
3/4	" [A] timely documentary...There is a sense of urgency that propels Creadon's cautionary narrative as an alarming wake-up call to financial discipline." -- Movie Eye Posted Nov 20, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	92%

1.5/4	" Overall, Zucker's cinematic middle finger is about as funny as an exploding toilet seat for hemorrhoid-induced senior citizens...a dreary picture mired in sophomoric sludge." -- Movie Eye Posted Oct 14, 2008	An American Carol (2008)	13%
2.5/4	" Eagle Eye's simplistic and colorful contrivance is oddly refreshing in its preposterous exuberance...a transparent treat at best. Thoroughly rollicking and roguish..." -- Movie Eye Posted Oct 7, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
2/4	" *...[A] moping melodramatic malaise. Ridiculously artificial in its Cupid-driven cornucopia of sketchy endearment. [Rodanthe] has the forceful flair of an unlit wax candle." -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	30%
1/4	" Raunchy and wretched...profoundly unfunny and sophomoric sludge...meaningless material that wouldn't be suitable for lining your pet parrot's birdcage." -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 23, 2008	My Best Friend's Girl (2008)	16%
3/4	" *...[A] shocking and subversive coming-of-age melodrama. Perceptively blunt and incendiary, Towelhead* is one of the most challenging cinematic efforts of the year.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 22, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	47%
3/4	" *Koepp strangely captures the cheeky charm and chippy imagination of Ghost Town* that could have been deemed just another faceless formulaic fantasy.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	83%
2.5/4	" ...conventional but compellingly caustic...LaBute's excitable exposition is passable enough to sustain the manufactured intrigue and tension" -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 18, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	49%
1.5/4	" *Lame and saturated in the dour makeup of an afternoon soap opera, The Women* is a transparent chick flick standing on its shaky high heels without much support.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 13, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
2/4	" Overstuffed and self-indulgent...The Family That Preys is nothing more than a busy-minded, shifty soap opera propelled by its empty-minded sense of indignation." -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 12, 2008	Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys (2008)	51%
2/4	" ...a synthetic, spineless suspense piece that cobbles together all the familiar ingredients of sensationalistic cynicism on the gaudy backs of a sneering DeNiro and edgy Pacino" -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 12, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	21%
2.5/4	" *The Coens' brand of irreverent chuckles propels Burn After Reading* as a stylistic and sassy sideshow for unredeemable rogues on the road to surrealistic scrutiny.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 12, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
2/4	" The Pang Brothers' remake yearns to be sensationalistic and probing but falls short in its request for a slight redemptive actioner that sizzles with moral conflict and confusion." -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 9, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	9%
1/4	" *Pointlessly rancid and redundant...Hopefully, Disaster Movie* will indeed vanish as quickly as a three-second burp at a chili-eating contest.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 8, 2008	Disaster Movie (2008)	2%
1.5/4	" *...breezy and banal...hops nowhere particularly interesting. Overall, there's nothing whimsical, fuzzy or provocative about this chosen Bunny." -- Movie Eye* Posted Sep 4, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
3/4	" Thunder is ambitiously blunt and blasphemous in its bombastic barbs of treasured absurdity...[a] calculated comedy drenched in volumes of manufactured viciousness and succulent screwball vibrancy." -- Movie Eye Posted Sep 4, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
2/4	" The special effects feel rather synthetic for a big-time summer blockbuster. When the smoke finally clears Hancock emerges as just another routine riff on the superhero genre" -- Movie Eye Posted Jul 6, 2008	Hancock (2008)	39%

3/4	" Unconventionally quirky in its unassuming blue-collar bluntness, Expired is comically horrifying in its examination of lonely people living on the fringe of professional obscurity and personalized disarray." -- Movie Eye Posted Jun 27, 2008	Expired (2008)	60%
3/4	" *Enriching, methodical and visually arresting, Radio Cape Cod* is an unconventional narrative in that it correlates its amorous themes with the nuances of nature and scientific curiosities.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Jun 25, 2008	Radio Cape Cod (2008)	n/a
3/4	" *Rozema delivers an elegantly spry children's tale about nostalgic hardship and growing pains in the overly sentimental but uniquely inspiring Kit Kittredge." -- Movie Eye* Posted Jun 21, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	78%
3/4	" ...an economically poignant melodrama about a young Muslim girl's fragile mindset and the journey that leads to her self-discovery...relentlessly affecting in mind and consciousness." -- Movie Eye Posted Jun 20, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	63%
1/4	" The Love Guru is creatively awful. The feeling you derive from this dud is comparable to swallowing a bottle of bulky Viagra pills while nursing an inflamed strep throat." -- Movie Eye Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
2.5/4	" *Carell's wacky presence uplifts the modern-day gizmo-crazed Smart* to a passable parade of pure inspired silliness that pays adequate homage to the iconic TV series.*" -- Movie Eye* Posted Jun 18, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
3/4	" Willingly raucous and revved up for your escapist consideration do welcome this plump yet profoundly prancing panda into your thrill-seeking heart." -- TheWorldJournal.com Posted Jun 17, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
1.5/4	" Director Duggan serves up a scattershot satire that is about as funny as a Palestinian landmine at an Israeli kiddie birthday party. Broad, offensive and thinly veiled..." -- Movie Eye Posted Jun 16, 2008	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	36%
2/4	" *It's too bad that the false sense of high heel empowerment never registers as soundly as our resident money-styling maidens look to achieve in this beleaguered City." -- Movie Eye* Posted Jun 16, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	50%
3/4	" Explosive and visually arresting in its colorful swagger...a reactive and revolving roller-coaster ride of demolishing proportions." -- Movie Eye Posted Jun 15, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
3/4	" Outlandishly spry and equipped with Ford's deadpan spunk. The formula is daringly familiar because Spielberg's action-packed narrative hasn't missed a step." -- Movie Eye Posted May 23, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
2.5/4	" Travel is an ambitious, involving and extensive travelogue that challenges the imagination. [A] feasible fable that allows one to remain contemplative and connected" -- Movie Eye Posted May 6, 2008	The Art of Travel (2008)	63%
3/4	" ...absorbing, mysterious, lyrical and distinctively titillating...a moody masterpiece that is thrillingly alarming...[a] tale of wandering hedonism and anguish" -- World Voice News Posted May 5, 2008	Tre (2008)	53%

4/4	" *Utterly engrossing and captivating in its inquisitive scope. Provocative and polarizing, Taxi* invites us to eavesdrop on a movement of mistrust and mischievous mayhem*" -- World Voice News* Posted Mar 3, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
2/4	" Pared-down with flat-footed characterizations, tacked on scenic shots of worldly venues and a choppy script that isn't disciplined enough to tap into our escapist imaginations, Jumper is a toothless travelogue that treks up the wrong charted route." -- TheWorldJournal.com Posted Mar 2, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
