	"*More than a concert film, Scorsese's Shine a Light* not only throws yet another spotlight on the rockers but also carves out a story to pay tribute to the "Satisfaction" musicians.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Aug 18, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
	"Has enough heart and insight into the complexities of being a teenager today that you can overlook some of its other shortcomings - primarily in the tired act of the titular character." -- Movie Views Posted Aug 18, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
	"*Even in pointing out the falseness of talking down to people for the sake of coming across as intelligent, Smart People* does just that.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Aug 18, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
	"Part The Graduate, part Fitzcarraldo, The Art of Travel is a tribute to living on the road less traveled. Filmed entirely on location, it offers a more rounded portrayal of culture outside of the standard Hollywood clich�s" -- Movie Views Posted Aug 18, 2008	The Art of Travel (2008)	63%
	"Feels so forced and determined to convey a certain emotion that its authenticity is lost. And when there's no sense of authenticity, there's no emotional attachment." -- Movie Views Posted Jun 28, 2008	Rails & Ties (2007)	34%
	"I can't help but think that 10,000 BC started out as an idea that sounded like, "Wouldn't it be cool if we had wooly mammoths and saber toothed tigers and people all in the same movie?" and went from there." -- Movie Views Posted Jun 28, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"Based on the series of five serial children's novels, The Spiderwick Chronicles is a hollow spectacle that's good for the action and effects but light on everything else." -- Movie Views Posted Jun 28, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	"It's like doing a puzzle a second time. It's familiar, it's redundant and it's rarely exciting." -- Movie Views Posted Jun 9, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
	"Maintains a very high standard of comedy and imagination but it also shows signs of developing. It keeps the show's spirit and also shows viewers that there's more waiting beyond the lights and curtains they're used to." -- Movie Views Posted Jun 9, 2008	The Muppet Show - Season 3 (1978-1979)	n/a
	"Drawn Together is sort of a nostalgia trip for the Captain Crunch generation. But just because you're rude, crude and reference The A-Team on multiple occasions it doesn't mean you're classic yourself." -- Movie Views Posted May 10, 2008	Drawn Together - Uncensored!: Season Three (2006)	n/a
	"Of the three Young Indiana Jones DVD sets, this is the first one that begins to capture the same sense of adventure found in the films." -- Movie Views Posted May 10, 2008	Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones Vol. 3 - The Years of Change (1993-1995)	n/a
	"*Richard LaGravense's P.S. I Love You* has plenty of sappy love-letter moments, but it's also a very touching and real-feeling look at the grieving process.*" -- Movie Views* Posted May 10, 2008	P.S. I Love You (2007)	20%
	"A few cute gags aside, this is an exercise in stupidity aimed at those who find 15 different names for a bong to be funny." -- Movie Views Posted May 10, 2008	Strange Wilderness (2008)	0%
	"*Originally made for IMAX screens, George Butler's Roving Mars* is a visual marvel %u2013 even if it boils down to a piece of corporate propaganda.*" -- Calgary Movies* Posted May 8, 2008	Roving Mars (2006)	68%
	"The visuals, the pacing, an all-time great performance and a timely theme add up to make There Will Be Blood one of the most memorable films I have seen." -- Movie Views Posted Apr 27, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
	"Another bizarre and beautiful excursion courtesy of one of Hollywood's most creative minds." -- Movie Views Posted Apr 16, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
	"Shrinking him and his cronies down into Fisher Price Little People, Bush rules the school much like he does America %u2013 with a lot of help from his friends and direction from his papa. " -- Movie Views Posted Mar 26, 2008	Lil' Bush: Resident of the United States - Season One (2007)	n/a
	"Thank goodness that experiment in appeasing the commercial suit types is over and the quirky brothers are back to form with No Country for Old Men, a dark and violent exploration of nature's hunt and the relevance of time." -- Movie Views Posted Mar 26, 2008	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
	"Bee Movie is a solid mix of comforting gags, clever language and a meandering plot that doesn't seem to have enough gas to stretch out into a full feature." -- Movie Views Posted Mar 26, 2008	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
	"Because it touches on the universal themes of loss and love so honestly, it is a film that feels authentic even in its many contrivances." -- Movie Views Posted Mar 26, 2008	Dan in Real Life (2007)	66%
	"Into the Wild is a film to meditate on. It's long, it's not particularly fast moving but it struck me in a carnal fashion." -- Movie Views Posted Mar 18, 2008	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
	""Cute and cuddly" pretty much sums up this canine caper - once you get past the idea of a lady looking to make a coat out of dalmatian puppies." -- Movie Views Posted Mar 18, 2008	101 Dalmatians (1961)	97%
	"*Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones may have updated The Fugitive* for modern times as a thrilling film with a bigger train wreck, but there's nothing like the original.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Mar 10, 2008	The Fugitive - Season One, Volume Two (1963)	n/a
	"*Robert Zemeckis' take on Beowulf* is a marvel visually but eye-popping effects are still no challenge for good old-fashioned human emotion.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Mar 10, 2008	Beowulf (2007)	70%
	"*Buoyed by likeable characters and the ever-dependable super teacher construct, We Shall Overcome* builds into a better-than-solid underdog story.*" -- Calgary Movies* Posted Mar 8, 2008	We Shall Overcome (2006)	83%
	"With gentle plotting the intensity builds and builds until it all boils over." -- Calgary Movies Posted Mar 8, 2008	The Page Turner (2007)	77%
	"A depressing thinker of a film that also offers a little nostalgia to boot." -- Calgary Movies Posted Mar 8, 2008	The Elementary Particles (2006)	100%
	"The Aristocats is largely an up-scale cat version of 101 Dalmatians minus the deliciously dastardly villain. " -- Movie Views Posted Feb 19, 2008	The Aristocats (1970)	65%
	"The reason why Gone Baby Gone works so well is the attention to which Boston is portrayed. The urban neighbourhood is like another character in an already strong cast, one that has needs and desires just like everyone else." -- Movie Views Posted Feb 19, 2008	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
	"Even though it looked great and was moderately engaging, something was also always missing." -- Movie Views Posted Feb 19, 2008	Becoming Jane (2007)	57%
	"*Offering an iconic lead, a bag filled with various villains and a classic Western structure, Gunsmoke* manages to entertain more than 50 years after it first aired.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Jan 23, 2008	Gunsmoke - The Second Season, Volume 1 (1956)	n/a
	"Cloverfield brings chaos and terror in one of the most memorable American monster films in some time." -- Movie Views Posted Jan 19, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	"A poorly animated tale that offers little new to the genre or the Dungeons and Dragons franchise in which it is based." -- Movie Views Posted Jan 16, 2008	Dragonlance (2007)	n/a
	"On the surface, Stardust looks like a cheesy little fluff fantasy. In many ways it is. Yet at the same time, it's also the most fun I've had with a film since watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean." -- Movie Views Posted Jan 16, 2008	Stardust (2007)	76%
	"*This second DVD installment of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones* still lacks a lot of the qualities that made the films in which it was based so entertaining.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Jan 6, 2008	The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones - Volume 2 (2007)	n/a
	"*Secrets, seduction and scandal run rampant through the succulent first season of The Tudors, a hot and hip retelling of England's King Henry VIII and his court." -- Movie Views* Posted Jan 6, 2008	Tudors - The Complete First Season (2008)	n/a
	"Donald Duck is unforgettable and a worthy friendly adversary to the too-cute Mickey Mouse." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 25, 2007	Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald Volume 3 (1947-1950)	n/a
	"There's just something about the theme park that brings out an idealized sense of childhood and immortality in most of us." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 25, 2007	Walt Disney Treasures: Secrets, Stories and Magic ()	n/a
	"The animation is excellent considering the age and era in which they were made. However, as a character Oswald is quite forgettable." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 25, 2007	Walt Disney Treasures: The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (1927-1928)	n/a
	"*With a sweeping look, lots of emotion, a classic hero, occasionally corny dialogue and forced romances, Braveheart* is a flawed classic.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 25, 2007	Braveheart (1995)	76%
	"A boring and uninspiring adaptation that lacks action and suffers from mostly static characters, Peter Dinklage as the nefarious Dr. Simon Barsinister being the notable exception." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 17, 2007	Underdog (2007)	14%
	"The show's super-sized third season tackles such themes as eating disorders, gambling addiction, car accidents, world travel, birth, death and first record contracts. And that's not even mentioning the revolving door of several relationships. " -- Movie Views Posted Dec 17, 2007	Beverly Hills 90210 - Season 3 (1992-1993)	n/a
	"It's light and fluffy fun that's largely harmless. In 20 years there's also going to be a lot of parents explaining to their children that yes, "Mommy and Daddy did dress like that."" -- Movie Views Posted Dec 17, 2007	High School Musical 2 (2007)	n/a
	"Although video games are fun to play, even some of the best fall victim to neglecting to create multi-dimensional characters that you care about. This is a TV show but it's no different. It's just as two-dimensional as their Nintendo counterparts." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 9, 2007	Captain N And The New Super Mario World (1991)	n/a
	"*It's a simple comedy that tries to be nothing but. At times it is simple hilarity, other times it's a little too "Napoleon Dynamite"* for its own good.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 9, 2007	Hot Rod (2007)	39%
	"Was and is a fun nostalgic trip, even if it is on the idealistic side and the Fonz plays too great a part in its history. " -- Movie Views Posted Dec 9, 2007	Happy Days - The Complete Third Season (1970s)	n/a
	"Catching up with Ms. DeFazio and Ms. Feeney after all these years had its awkard moments. More interestingly is watching it and seeing just how much television comedies have changed in the last 25 years. " -- Movie Views Posted Dec 9, 2007	Laverne & Shirley - The Complete Third Season (2007)	n/a
	"*Capitalizing on the successes of both March of the Penguins* and An Inconvenient Truth, the sappy Artic Tale is more akin to a commercial for a McDonald's Happy Meal.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 9, 2007	Arctic Tale (2007)	62%
	"*Although visually impressive, At World's End* is a bitter disappointment considering how fresh and exciting the crew was just a few years ago.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 9, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
	"While there are times of moderate amusement, Shrek the Third offers few surprises. It seems as though perhaps the creators have found their stride and are calling it in more than going out on a limb." -- Movie Views Posted Nov 18, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
