	" American Teen presents itself as getting inside the lives of America's current youth culture. But the very idea of individuality is lost because it doesn't go deep enough into the lives of its subjects to fully convey the idea." -- Movie Views Posted Jan 7, 2009	American Teen (2008)	70%
	" *While the film is over the top at times, Coach Carter* has a big heart that doesn't shy away from challenging the American education system.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 30, 2008	Coach Carter (2005)	63%
	" When it's on the racetrack, it's thrills abound as the big sound and fast-moving cars make for sensory overload. However, when the action fades and it's time to give the characters some meat." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 30, 2008	Days of Thunder (1990)	41%
	" Paul W.S. Anderson's outer space horror Event Horizon is an example of a potentially great and complex idea given a simplistic and ultimately ridiculous execution." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 30, 2008	Event Horizon (1997)	19%
	" Attempting to tap into the public's collective fears and suspicions comes D.J. Caruso's preposterous Eagle Eye, an action film with plenty of thrills but I have no idea what alternate reality it's set in." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 30, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
	" Andrew Adamson shows a more confident and defined vision that works on several levels, however it's unable to overcome a nagging feel of disconnect." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 23, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	66%
	" Made at the time as a plead for international peace, its message should still ring true today where the world picture is more complex and, in many ways, more splintered and dangerous." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 23, 2008	Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)	94%
	" Horton started as a book, less that 40 pages long. To make it a feature seems just a little bit wrong. The magic of Seuss isn't quite there. It's got the look but it's missing some flair." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 23, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
	" Leave it to Stephen Colbert to go post modern on the Christmas special and come up with a cheeky variety-format program of his own to take the modern mantle in the holiday television canon." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 9, 2008	A Colbert Christmas - The Greatest Gift of All! (2008)	n/a
	" The action movie has been spoofing itself for years. Half of the time it's no even intentional. Ben Stiller's hilarious and surprisingly intelligent Tropic Thunder takes the genre spoof to a new extreme." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 8, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
	" Sure, it takes a familiar road, but there's certainly enough bubbling under the surface to keep the heart of the film relevant and appealing more than a half-century later." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 8, 2008	Sabrina (1954)	93%
	" Tears away at the curtain that keeps reality away from fiction." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 8, 2008	Sunset Boulevard (1950)	98%
	" Mixes the romantic comedy formula of an unlikely couple slowly falling in love with some classic slapstick to create a movie that's tough not to be delighted by." -- Movie Views Posted Dec 8, 2008	Roman Holiday (1953)	98%
	" *The fact is, while Kidulthood* tries to be raw and gritty, it's really just a mish-mash of events that's missing characters that you genuinely care for or even begin to understand.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Dec 8, 2008	Kidulthood (2004)	n/a
	" Offers some of the strangest and worst the movies have to offer and makes it, at the very least, watchable if not entertaining." -- Movie Views Posted Nov 23, 2008	Mystery Science Theater 3000 (2008)	n/a
	" *Although something of a confusing and befuddling mess, Miike's foray into the Western genre, Sukiyaki Western Django* is another showcase for his playful and often gory style.*" -- Movie Views* Posted Nov 12, 2008	Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)	59%
	" *Simplicity and complexity harmonize together in cinematic zen in the instant-classic WALL%u2022E, a film that uses technical prowess to tell a straight-forward yet far-reaching story." -- Movie Views* Posted Nov 12, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
	" Transsiberian is a deeply engrossing film from the get go. It sucked me in with a simple, yet often overlooked, idea - interesting characters." -- Movie Views Posted Nov 4, 2008	Transsiberian (2008)	90%
	" With its sophisticated yet accessible blend of comedy and the macabre, I knew Beetlejuice was likely to be one of those films I would never tire of. But a classic? It's been 20 years. I'm willing to throw that blue ribbon on it." -- Movie Views Posted Nov 3, 2008	Beetlejuice (1988)	81%
	" Although it carries a certain level of slickness to it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows that although the times have changed - both in the film and for the viewing audience - Indiana Jones hasn't. And that's a problem." -- Movie Views Posted Nov 3, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	" While it's better than your average film in a lot of respects, it simply cannot hold up to the legacy of its predecessors." -- Movie Views Posted Oct 6, 2008	The Godfather Part III (1990)	66%
	" While I'm sure profits were a big part of the conversation the Paramount suits had when deciding to green-light The Godfather Part II, but Coppola didn't go out and bastardize the franchise. Far from it." -- Movie Views Posted Oct 6, 2008	The Godfather Part II (1974)	98%
	" Coppola offers a rich and layered look at family and does so with an incredible cast and a meticulous amount of detail." -- Movie Views Posted Oct 6, 2008	The Godfather (1972)	100%
	" The Disney tween machine continues to plug along mixing sugar-pop ballads with the simple structure of summer camp in Camp Rock. The familiarity makes for something comfortable, nothing spectacular, but mindlessly enjoyable." -- Movie Views Posted Sep 15, 2008	Camp Rock (2008)	n/a
	" Terrifying Times is a timely look at the Western-dominated world from the point of view of someone who's firmly plugged into the inner workings of the American political machine." -- Movie Views Posted Sep 15, 2008	John Oliver - Terrifying Times (2008)	n/a
	" Although there are many familiar elements, the overall look and feel of Transformers Animated is very different from the original show. It's not all a bad thing just as long as I remember that I'm no longer the target audience." -- Movie Views Posted Sep 15, 2008	Transformers Animated - Season One (2008)	n/a
	" *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)	21%
	" 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)	91%
	" 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)	71%
