4/6	"It�s hard to think of a more welcome piece of American filmmaking." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 4, 2008	The Pool (2008)	94%
5/6	"At 35, with more than a dozen features already under his belt, the director triumphed with this dazzling mixture of spycraft, banter, expository nonsense and manic chases along the Scottish Highlands." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 4, 2008	The 39 Steps (1935)	97%
5/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 28, 2008	Day of Wrath (2006)	n/a
2/6	"Even animation addicts might find their eyes glazing over at this digitally rotoscoped Cinderella story set in an oh-so-magical modern-day Chinatown." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 27, 2008	Year of the Fish (2008)	53%
3/6	"Anna Faris plays dizzy dolls as expertly as Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe. If Faris�s movies fail that total commitment, she can hardly be blamed for taking the work." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 27, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
5/6	"A lesser Dreyer work, but only in comparison with his own achievements." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 27, 2008	Day of Wrath (1943)	100%
3/6	"For some, the geek talk might be enough, but the artist himself remains fixedly behind his walls." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 21, 2008	Richard Serra: Thinking On Your Feet (2005)	20%
3/6	"But the actor too earnestly prolongs readings from the director's diaries and letters, turning the experience into more of an undisciplined airing of bitchy candor." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 14, 2008	Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2008)	64%
2/6	"*Like Grindhouse, it assumes that the mere sight of men with muscle vehicles accompanied by a retro-twangy soundtrack equals instant euphoria." -- Time Out New York* Posted Aug 6, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	11%
3/6	"The opportunity to introduce newbies to a serious music-world icon -- and her significance -- feels squandered." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 6, 2008	Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)	63%
3/6	"Director Sanaa Hamri�s hand is heavier than that of original helmer Ken Kwapis, who knew how to let uncertain moments lie." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 4, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
5/6	"It�s the first real film of the 1970s." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 31, 2008	MAS*H (1970)	91%
3/6	"Welcome to the first significant movie of Election 2008." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 31, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	39%
5/6	"On the strength of its critical reception at festivals, this lovely, rigorous piece (made by a Boston professor) has secured what few experimental works do, a one-week theatrical run. It deserves it." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 31, 2008	Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind (2008)	89%
5/6	"*Take American Teen* for the moving snapshot it is: a picture of an uncertain generation finding its roots.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Jul 24, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
3/6	"The Duplass brothers find themselves sucked into conventions that even their too-cool detachment can�t compensate for." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 24, 2008	Baghead (2008)	80%
4/6	"The shouty variety of manchild comedy that Ferrell has cribbed from Jerry Lewis divides movie fans intensely. Here's the one we should put in the time capsule." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
4/6	"Every moment in Mad Detective seems engineered for maximum oddity; it almost becomes overwhelming...Yet the movie feels adventuresome, too, a new bridge to Asia’s soulful ghost canon. It’s a metaphysical mystery masquerading as a doodle." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Mad Detective (2008)	82%
2/6	"Exclusionary velvet-rope culture can�t be satirized enough, but woe be to secondhand Sacha Baron Cohens who don�t seem clear on the concept of mockumentary." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Doorman (2008)	25%
5/6	"One of the most fascinating performances of the year." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	76%
4/6	"Does a better-than-average job of depicting the pressures on guards, trainees and families on the outside." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Felon (2008)	59%
3/6	"Disappointing given the ticket we've bought." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Transsiberian (2008)	89%
3/6	"Kent MacKenzie�s forgotten indie basks in the retroactive glow of never having had a theatrical release -- as if that somehow makes it a work of misunderstood genius." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 9, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	89%
3/6	"Runs heavy on showy effects: all the goo that Del Toro�s Oscar prestige can buy. And yet, Ron Perlman�s growly, Johnny Lunchpail characterization of the antihero -- the spawn of Nazi experiments -- remains redeeming." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 9, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
3/6	"Stoned hip-hop youth go gently into that Giuliani night in Jonathan Levine�s frustratingly shallow my-summer-of-sex drama, set in a sweltering 1994 New York City." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 2, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	67%
4/6	"Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is a valuable reclamation of the political from the personal." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 2, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	89%
5/6	"*As a sports film, it doesn�t dig as deep as Hoop Dreams, but Gunnin�* will surely prove as inspiring.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 26, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
1/6	"An oh-my-God-level disaster that�ll make you wonder if Hollywood actually hates us." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
4/6	"No amount of absurdity -- and this film delivers plenty -- can clip the essential enjoyments of Sion Sono�s hair-horror flick, about haunted extensions that strangle their style-obsessed victims to death." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 18, 2008	Hair Extensions (2008)	n/a
3/6	"*If The Incredible Hulk, a plastic, steroidally pumped reattempt, is what the fanboys really wanted, then they don�t deserve directors like Ang Lee." -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
4/6	"*We�re not talking Roger & Me, but something equally as valid and town-proud: 'the heart of the heart of the continent,' in his whispering words." -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 11, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	95%
5/6	"Monsieur Verdoux is the spirit of modernity taken to its darkest extreme. It may be immortal." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 11, 2008	Monsieur Verdoux (1947)	96%
2/6	"*While fur-clad pillaging sounds fun enough, a Crouching Tiger�style ponderousness hollows out this largely Russian-produced dud." -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 5, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
4/6	"To realize that such studio entertainments found a way to accommodate politics and satire is to mourn something largely lost." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 5, 2008	The President's Analyst (1967)	81%
3/6	"As a rigorous cartoon of life-and-death proportions, it represents a welcome, dark variation on taking out the trash." -- Time Out New York Posted May 29, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
4/6	"Enormously entertaining." -- Time Out New York Posted May 29, 2008	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	97%
4/6	"For the next two hours plus, the movie is a mourning story, a resiliency tale. Tears are shed in a Mexican retreat. Hair is dyed dark. It�s serious-period Woody Allen, if he were a better shopper." -- Time Out New York Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	51%
1/6	"I�m not gonna box you, Uwe Boll. Punch your way through another critic�s face, as is your inclination. But please: Let me train you. Seriously. If you�re really going to go head to head with Michael Bay, you�ve got to work on your rope-a-dope." -- Time Out New York Posted May 21, 2008	Postal (2008)	9%
2/6	"*If the goal here is a Middle East Dr. Strangelove, the movie is lacking its anarchic Terry Southern, a scripter who flared out Kubrick�s chilly compositions with his equal-opportunity barbs." -- Time Out New York* Posted May 21, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
3/6	"This material is the fruit of years of research, but ultimately, an unanswered question haunts A Jihad for Love (and proves its undoing): Why would gay Muslims stay true to a religion that hurts them?" -- Time Out New York Posted May 21, 2008	A Jihad for Love (2008)	80%
3/6	"*The worst that can be said of Crystal Skull* is that it won�t be inspiring any youthful vine-swinging. A shame, really.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	77%
2/6	"The film is gentle and suggestive. But you�ll have to provide any stirring emotions yourself." -- Time Out New York Posted May 14, 2008	Paraguayan Hammock (2008)	56%
2/6	"*Mostly, this smacks of instaguilt artificiality: as if Luis Bu�uel wrote Los Olvidados* during a cushy, latte-infused stay at Robert Redford�s ski lodge.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted May 14, 2008	Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)	83%
2/6	"Horror fans might enjoy the overall trashiness (and one truly unsettling kill with a meat slicer); everyone else should skip it." -- Time Out New York Posted May 8, 2008	Poultrygeist (2008)	68%
5/6	"*Like the fantasy it most resembles, Terry Gilliam�s vastly underrated The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, it has a zing of quixotic optimism -- and the baroque beauty of creative decadence." -- Time Out New York* Posted May 8, 2008	The Fall (2008)	55%
2/6	"While writer-director Garth Jennings is smart enough to realize he can�t merely traffic in nostalgia, the subplots he devises are painfully predictable." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
4/6	"Much was made of this 'risky' casting, but it pays off beautifully. Downey, already a walking comic strip, imparts crucial verve to [director] Favreau�s static compositions." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
3/6	"Mister Lonely invites us to escape into fantasy, then seems embarrassed by its own dare." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	44%
5/6	"In mere moments, the film evokes the whole of Americana. The bell rings, and your heart is already in your throat. Essential." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 17, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	69%
3/6	"Though the material is clearly explained, little of it will shock viewers." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 17, 2008	Constantine's Sword (2008)	85%
