2/6	" How seriously you take Dust will depend not only on your patience, but on how anxious a streaky bookshelf makes you." -- Time Out New York Posted Dec 3, 2008	Dust (2008)	80%
5/6	" To luxuriate in Langella�s magnificent performance -- as a man unable to small-talk, unable to pet a dachshund convincingly, who can feel only privately -- is to appreciate how movies can ennoble even the worst of us." -- Time Out New York Posted Dec 3, 2008	Frost/Nixon (2008)	88%
1/6	" Can someone please establish a Vince Vaughn Support Group?" -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 26, 2008	Four Christmases (2008)	23%
5/6	" The movie has a rare, geeky generosity -- a braces-laden, acne-scared adorableness -- that sets it apart from the current crop of glamorised gossip girls or reality-TV phonies." -- Time Out Sydney Posted Nov 19, 2008	American Teen (2008)	71%
4/6	" This is a holiday den you won�t soon want to leave." -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 12, 2008	A Christmas Tale (2008)	90%
4/6	" A simple yet euphoric rags-to-riches drama, one that shoehorns in terror, action and an unusual amount of class politics for mainstream entertainment." -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 12, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	92%
3/6	" The movie has more clich�d rebirths in mind, and you�ll resent where it goes." -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 5, 2008	The Guitar (2008)	35%
2/6	" *There�s no song in Repo!�s heart -- plus, it�s disembodied and squashed on the floor." -- Time Out New York* Posted Nov 5, 2008	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	27%
5/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 30, 2008	Rosemary's Baby (1968)	98%
4/6	" You can love this movie without having to admit it�s merely an okay version of Dracula." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 29, 2008	Nosferatu: The Vampyre (1979)	94%
3/6	" If the minimart hadn�t been so well pressurized by last year�s The Mist, this indie would seem a touch more creative. Instead, it�s a pesky hangnail, easily removed with tweezers." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 29, 2008	Splinter (2008)	72%
1/6	" An offensively schlocky treatment of an important subject, The Soviet Story turns Stalin�s systematic starvation and slaughter of millions into a hopped-up horror flick." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 22, 2008	The Soviet Story (2008)	n/a
3/6	" You�ve seen this all before, and if Pride and Glory doesn�t lack for conviction, there�s a cookie-cutter vibe that might be the result of Hollywood tinkering." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 22, 2008	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%
4/6	" It�s a writer�s film, and Kaufman doesn�t have the chops to turn his ironies into affecting drama. But the sheer scope of his conception is breathtaking and commendable." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 22, 2008	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	64%
2/6	" *To call Eagle Eye* derivative is an understatement; the greater sin is how snoozy this Spielberg-produced anxiety drama feels, even with all sorts of objects flying toward your head.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Oct 18, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
5/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 18, 2008	Billy The Kid (2007)	85%
4/6	" Look at that title, know what you�re getting into. But if you�re game, the ride�s a smooth one." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 15, 2008	Sex Drive (2008)	40%
2/6	" Filth and Wisdom feels like the kind of airless, desperately chic movie written by and for young people living on their own for the first time." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 15, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	27%
3/6	" It feels like the kind of snoozy artistic modulation that critics often confuse for maturation." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 15, 2008	Mary (2008)	60%
3/6	" The confusing new movie, adapted way too faithfully from David Ignatius�s tricky 2007 novel, has more plot than necessary." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 8, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
4/6	" Lola Mont�s could never be confused for realism in any format: home video, theater or iPod. But its effectiveness as a tragedy relies on Oph�ls setting out a luxurious spread for his hapless heroine." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 8, 2008	Lola Montes (1955)	87%
3/6	" Too competent as a Fargo-esque indie murder comedy to dismiss (yet too dull to fully embrace), the Canadian Just Buried yields serviceable results from material that�s got rigor mortis." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 1, 2008	Just Buried (2008)	33%
5/6	" The movie registers as a restoration of the richly humane, pre-indie ensemble drama that Demme and Woody Allen defined in the 1980s." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 1, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	88%
4/6	" Ballast has a potential that few Sundance movies even approach." -- Time Out New York Posted Oct 1, 2008	Ballast (2008)	86%
2/6	" Lee�s war lacks a battle plan, not good intentions." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 25, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	33%
3/6	" All of the emotional breakthroughs are safely telegraphed; fans of the film will be terrified if they dig any deeper between the book covers." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 25, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
4/6	" Secrecy brings a serious commitment to its content, making it a valuable challenge to those who would place total openness above all." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 11, 2008	Secrecy (2008)	100%
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)	97%
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)	55%
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)	36%
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)	71%
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)	78%
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)	54%
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)	83%
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)	28%
5/6	" One of the most fascinating performances of the year." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	77%
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)	63%
3/6	" Disappointing given the ticket we've bought." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Transsiberian (2008)	90%
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)	88%
