2.5/4	" As it has evolved from a 10-minute cabaret piece, through a short film Bousman made in Toronto, to the big screen, Repo! The Genetic Opera has gained in both guts and gusto." Posted Nov 21, 2008	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	27%
2/4	" Buildings and their interiors fare a lot better in this sumptuously lensed and set-designed film. That's because they don't have to talk or act." Posted Nov 21, 2008	I Can't Think Straight (2008)	27%
2.5/4	" That these boys could not fathom what was actually going on in the camps also rings true and is the reason why stories like this one must endure." Posted Nov 7, 2008	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	64%
2/4	" Less an account of hatred and injustice in apartheid-torn South Africa than it is a soap opera-ish romance that could easily be an episode of The L-Word." Posted Nov 7, 2008	The World Unseen (2008)	40%

2.5/4	" Coming from the man who made his name as a director of often grim social-realist films such as Vera Drake, All or Nothing and Secrets & Lies, Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky strikes one as a film fantasy." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
2.5/4	" *Quite a bit of honey is applied to make the awful truths palatable, but The Secret Life of Bees* curtails the sappiness with performances -- especially Fanning's -- that are grounded in reality.*" Posted Oct 17, 2008*	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	58%
1/4	" Utterly asinine, sophomoric, tasteless, the movie has much in common with Zucker's Airplane!, The Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Scary Movie sequels, minus the laughs." Posted Oct 13, 2008	An American Carol (2008)	14%
3/4	" All Together Now enthrals. It also makes you want to fly to Las Vegas immediately and buy a ticket to LOVE." Posted Oct 13, 2008	All Together Now (2008)	n/a
2.5/4	" A thrilling adventure tale and teen fantasy that is grounded in real concerns about who is managing the planet." Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	48%
2.5/4	" This film rests uneasily between art and thriller, putting a huge burden on the actors, especially Julianne Moore, to convey the larger meaning of the story." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Blindness (2008)	42%
3/4	" Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	93%
1.5/4	" No character in this turbulent sea of love crashing on the shores of misfortune is any more developed than they are in Sparks' potboiler." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	31%
2/4	" Igor, like the Frankenstein's monster at the centre of its tired plot, looks like something cobbled together out of used, very used, parts." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Igor (2008)	32%
2.5/4	" In the hands of a lesser director, the secondary characters, including Todd's matronly Indian landlady, might have been mere caricatures. Smart production design and camerawork enhance the sense of authenticity." Posted Aug 29, 2008	Outsourced (2007)	78%
2.5/4	" French journalist Marie-Monique Robin takes a scattershot approach in her expos� of Monsanto, an American multinational chemical and biotechnology company responsible for some of the most toxic and environmentally damaging products ever sold." Posted Aug 1, 2008	The World According to Monsanto (2008)	n/a
2.5/4	" Director Julian Jarrold and writers Jeremy Brock and Andrew Davies have not surpassed their predecessors, but neither have they done any lasting damage with their interpretation of the 1945 novel." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	64%
2/4	" A costume drama with an emphasis on costume over drama." Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	76%
2/4	" While there is much to admire among the subjects of A Jihad for Love, the film itself is a low-grade production that risks losing the viewer with an unimaginative sequence of talking heads." Posted Jul 18, 2008	A Jihad for Love (2008)	75%
2.5/4	" The animated action movie nevertheless delivers -- da-dum -- more fun than a barrel of monkeys." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	35%
2.5/4	" The beauty of Silent Light is in the cinematography, and as in Gus van Sant's Gerry, the natural world, replete with heavy symbolism, trumps anything the humans can do no matter how hard they try to act natural." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Silent Light (2008)	83%
2.5/4	" *Nothing much happens in Alice's House, and a turning point in the plot is terribly contrived, but as sociology and maybe even a pilot for a soap serial, the movie is worth a look." Posted Jul 11, 2008*	Alice's House (2008)	90%
2.5/4	" *If Benson Lee's intention with Planet B-Boy* was to set the record straight on the continuing story of break dancers, then his documentary has to be counted a success. With a few caveats.*" Posted May 30, 2008*	Planet B-Boy (2008)	89%
1/4	" With no plot to speak of, no character development whatsoever, no theme and precious little intrigue, what we have here is simply a pileup of effects. And not especially special effects." Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	44%
2.5/4	" Rappoport is the movie's saving grace." Posted May 9, 2008	The Unknown Woman (2008)	64%
2.5/4	" The script has a stale air, like something that was doing the rounds for a long time before David Ross found backers to make a film out of it." Posted May 9, 2008	The Babysitters (2008)	31%
3/4	" [Director Dilip] Mehta has done a fine job of getting the message out to the world." Posted Apr 28, 2008	The Forgotten Woman (2008)	n/a
3/4	" What leads off like a docudrama of the social ills accompanying a misunderstood condition merges into fantasy until, in very clever ways, director Nic Balthazar turns the medium into the message." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Ben X (2008)	62%
3/4	" This is not a weepy, but a story about healing, forgiveness and redemption." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Bella (2007)	46%
2.5/4	" The sabotage plotting, sometimes engaging dialogue, visual inventiveness, a distant soundtrack and some occasionally gripping performances only add up to a film that leaves one feeling as frozen as those snow angels." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
2/4	" The semi-satirical treatment of celebrity culture, as Penelope is treated first as a tabloid sensation then a media darling, is lame and dated." Posted Feb 29, 2008	Penelope (2008)	50%
3/4	" [Writer-Director] Labaki writes and directs with a sure hand for capturing universal truths." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Caramel (2008)	92%
1.5/4	" Reeks of artificiality and phoney emotion." Posted Feb 14, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	24%
3/4	" Nothing much actually happens in Still Life, and yet one is left with a deep feeling of irrevocable loss and destructive change only heightened by the chirpy tourist patter and government promotional talk about the great Three Gorges Dam." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Still Life (2008)	92%
2/4	" There are elements of a good fright flick and intriguing ghost story in They Wait. It's too bad that they are overshadowed by all the bad aspects – terrible dialogue and cheesy special effects and makeup." Posted Jan 25, 2008	They Wait (2008)	40%
3/4	" *In the increasingly crowded field of movies based on urban dance, How She Move* stands out as a well-written and well-acted drama with an appeal that reaches beyond dance fanatics.*" Posted Jan 25, 2008*	How She Move (2008)	67%
3.5/4	" The dynamic that operates throughout this film is fantasy versus reality, not just in the lives of the characters but in American life in general." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Savages (2007)	89%
1.5/4	" It's the sort of movie that no man will ever go to unless dragged by a woman. His sole reward will be the sight of Swank in sexy underwear." Posted Dec 21, 2007	P.S. I Love You (2007)	21%
2/4	" Me, I want a hula hoop." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	26%
2/4	" *The plot of Hitman* is difficult to follow and in any case secondary to the sheer spectacle of murder and mayhem.*" Posted Nov 21, 2007*	Hitman (2007)	15%
2/4	" *As long as Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium* sticks to magic, it is pretty engaging, but the lives on display are less than mesmerizing.*" Posted Nov 16, 2007*	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
2.5/4	" Pimentel's persistence and eventual triumph over prejudice and discrimination is a story worth telling, if only on a shoestring." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Music Within (2007)	31%
2.5/4	" If this were a Susanne Bier film made on her home turf we'd feel a lot more wrung out by the movie's end. Instead we're just worn out." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)	64%
2.5/4	" Bar-Lev has made a refreshingly honest documentary." Posted Oct 19, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	94%
1.5/4	" Death at a Funeral might have been made in the 1960s, not to be released until well past its stale date." Posted Oct 12, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	63%
2/4	" Fran�ois Girard's Silk is not merely painterly. It might as well be a painting, for all that it eschews storytelling, forcing the viewer to scan the lush imagery in search of clues to what, if anything, might be going on." Posted Sep 28, 2007	Silk (2007)	8%
2.5/4	" The script might have slipped into caricature, as often the adaptations of Austen's novels have, but Swicord opts for characters in whom we might see ourselves." Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
2.5/4	" Director Robert Benton finds an emotional through line in a format that might have easily broken down into a series of disconnected anecdotes with little to nourish us." Posted Sep 28, 2007	Feast of Love (2007)	41%
