4/10	" Its elements are actually quite typical of a syndicated cartoon series, aimed mostly at the young'uns and contributing pretty much nothing to the Star Wars mythos." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 21, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
6/10	" For a film that's been lauded for its daring display of full-frontal male nudity, I got the nagging feeling that it actually played things pretty safe." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 21, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
7/10	" *The joy in Blade II* simply comes from watching Snipes as Blade doing his thing -- destroying vampires and whipping out martial arts on whomever gets too close.*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Nov 21, 2008	Blade 2 (2002)	57%
8/10	" Examines both the mystery of primitive human instincts and the nature and power of photography." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 14, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	80%
9/10	" A comprehensive movie, an everything-you-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask film, engaging, paced well, informative, and professionally polished." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 14, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
4/10	" Cut from car to driver to announcer to audience and over and over again, ad nauseam. Such pretty racing scenes, so little to actually see." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 14, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	37%
6/10	" While Hou's cinematic techniques are as sound as ever, this time it feels as if they're being used to peer into nothing of particular, specific significance." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 14, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
3/10	" More than anything, what bothers me about it is a sense of cheapness that ... centrally comes from a concept mainly built for shock value." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 14, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
7/10	" The wall-to-wall action, while quite entertaining, overshadows the refreshed Bond character just enough to make the movie look a little too much like it would rather be about Bourne." -- Window to the Movies Posted Nov 13, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%
6/10	" Mostly simply tries for fun, and for a good part of it, it delivers. But with it's jumble of elements, it doesn't allow a central one to take hold and truly fly." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 15, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	52%
8/10	" Leave it to Wong Kar Wai to take a straightforward martial arts tale and weave its characters into one of his movies about soul-searching, love, isolation, and longing." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 9, 2008	Ashes of Time (1994)	91%
8/10	" *[Wong's fans] should have no trouble navigating the amorphous, dreamy threads of either version of Ashes of Time." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews* Posted Oct 9, 2008	Ashes of Time Redux (2008)	82%
7/10	" Green is a director who takes his time with characters, allowing their different sides to self-illustrate in naturalistic settings as he simultaneously paints their worlds." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 8, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
8/10	" It's the details that make the whole thing work, from the performances ... to its deadly honest observations that Michelle's disabilities would create obstacles that would reach far beyond her loss of sight and hearing." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 8, 2008	Black (2005)	n/a
8/10	" Better viewed as an illustration of the extreme dynamics of a friendship of personality contrasts than as a movie about illegal abortion or oppressive Communist regimes." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 1, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	97%
6/10	" Straightforward wish fulfillment -- imagine what crimes against humanity we could punish if we had real, indestructible Rambos." -- Window to the Movies Posted Oct 1, 2008	Rambo (2008)	37%
8/10	" *Brothers Joel and Ethan Coen could direct a movie like Burn After Reading* in their sleep, and I don't mean that as a slight.*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Sep 11, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
7/10	" The Orphanage [is] durable and engrossing, traits that help overshadow its genre-bound features." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 27, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
8/10	" Even if some of the gags about dumb people start becoming tiresome, it's linked to a sensation of discomfort that should make us legitimately worry about the direction we're headed in." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 18, 2008	Idiocracy (2006)	72%
7/10	" Pop moviemaking aimed towards an underserved demographic, but one respects its approach in assuming its audience is at least intelligent and emotionally mature." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 18, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)	77%
7/10	" A whirlwind demo of technical proficiency. It's recommendable on camera choreography and seamless editing alone." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 4, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
6/10	" Consider it Wong lite." -- Window to the Movies Posted Aug 1, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
6/10	" Mostly successful [in creating fun], but along the way its strengths struggled mightily against its weaknesses." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
10/10	" [Gotham City] stands in for any of today's civilized nations and becomes ripe for thematic exploration. And Nolan wastes no chance to utilize this world for a tale about how fragile our morality is." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
8/10	" Seeing the movie becomes a method of understanding, of putting into perspective, our place and limited privilege on Earth." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 11, 2008	Encounters At the End of the World (2007)	93%
10/10	" An ode to finding one's creative side and the joys of being able to share one's creations with others." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 11, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
7/10	" Hellboy II is downright goofy. When it's not being funny, the creatures steal the show." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Jul 10, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
5/10	" Only half a good movie -- the whole of it becomes confusing, disappointing, and non-sensical." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	39%
10/10	" It wouldn't be a stretch to call the movie pitch perfect." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
5/10	" The main characters themselves -- Max and Agent 99 -- and their relationship receive a rather disappointing stock treatment that lacks creativity." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
8/10	" A lot of fun and, frankly, exactly what one would have expected from a Hulk movie." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
7/10	" A plea for compassion and understanding; its lack of the negative side of human nature almost makes it seem desperate in that regard, but overall it's deft at achieving its goal." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 9, 2008	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	81%
6/10	" Chadha does a decent job directing, while Parminder Nagra does a good job acting. The movie's main problem is that it's a little more fussy than it needs to be." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 9, 2008	Bend It Like Beckham (2003)	85%
7/10	" A pleasant surprise. It avoids easy targets and actually bases its humor in its performances." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	89%
10/10	" What was I worried about? Steven Spielberg and his crew haven't missed a beat." -- Window to the Movies Posted May 21, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
7/10	" Frontloaded, [but] boasts a great look, abundant humor, and Robert Downey Jr. making the case for middle-aged, flawed superheroes." -- Window to the Movies Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
7/10	" *I think that's the greatest thing about these Harold & Kumar* movies. They make stereotyping look ridiculous.*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
7/10	" [Chan and Li] punch, kick, jump, and fall all over in an extended sequence that never feels too long." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	64%
6/10	" *Its almost desperate earnestness actually turns out to be its greatest appeal -- August Rush* does believe in fairy tales, it does it does it does!*" -- Window to the Movies* Posted Apr 17, 2008	August Rush (2007)	37%
5/10	" Bland, watered-down Seinfeld-ian humor for kids, amusing at best, grating at worst." -- Window to the Movies Posted Apr 17, 2008	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
5/10	" I like seeing directors try to branch out, but Chow's attempt just doesn't feel particularly well thought-out." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Mar 6, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	51%
7/10	" [Jones] makes the father's pride, determination, stubbornness, patriotism, and love extremely, utterly believable, sympathetic, and involving." -- Window to the Movies Posted Feb 26, 2008	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
7/10	" The urgency of the [first-person] perspective plus the general sense of hopelessness for humanity add up to a sense of despair." -- Window to the Movies Posted Feb 14, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	61%
4/10	" *Maybe the goal of Jumper* involved making you dislike its protagonist ... If so, then congratulations would be in order.*" -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews* Posted Feb 14, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
6/10	" *As a product of our globally-aware disaster-ridden times, Cloverfield* touches upon interesting themes ... But it doesn't do much more than just glaze over [them].*" -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 22, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
5/10	" Despite good energy and a source with ample potential, the film is held back by trite ideas." -- Window to the Movies Posted Jan 14, 2008	The Hoax (2007)	85%
8/10	" The movie employs all of the hallmarks that has made the show such a cult favorite. Amidst this, the movie retains its keenness of observation and sense of the profound." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Futurama the Movie: Bender's Big Score (2007)	100%
8/10	" Better than the debuts of most actors-turned-directors in that it contains vision and perspective as opposed to concentrating mostly on performances" -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
8/10	" Burtynsky's awe-inspiring work ultimately speaks for itself." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
7/10	" Its academic approach, which allows its characters to be themselves and their relationships to crinkle and fold within each other to no obvious end, shows both strength and vulnerability." -- Window to the Movies Posted Dec 28, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	85%
