	" Valentina is angry and resigned and just-so-adorably exotic, in the sense that she misses nuance and inverts English syntax ("What matters my name?")." -- PopMatters Posted Dec 2, 2008	Transporter 3 (2008)	36%
	" Role Models invites you to celebrate the kingdom as advertised on its website: a "fantasy world where anything is possible" at least if you're a boy in need of approval." -- PopMatters Posted Dec 2, 2008	Role Models (2008)	75%
	" Nullah's story lies beyond the ken of his Caucasian caretakers." -- PopMatters Posted Dec 2, 2008	Australia (2008)	52%
	" *Even apart from the retarded and retread contrivances that provide context for their argument, Four Christmases* is intensely disturbing in its class politics.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Dec 2, 2008	Four Christmases (2008)	23%

6/10	" Josh Koury's documentary about hardcore Harry Potter fans, meandering and amiable, reveals that resistance to consumer culture is pretty much futile." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 21, 2008	We Are Wizards (2008)	50%
6/10	" Bolt's faith in his fiction is slightly pathetic, but it's not unrelated to the ways that children (as well as pets) are regularly conditioned." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 21, 2008	Bolt (2008)	84%
4/10	" Fantasy rules in Twilight, fantasy simultaneously delicate and ravishing, chaste and utterly bloody." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 21, 2008	Twilight (2008)	44%
	" As Oskar and Eli gaze into the seeming mirrors of one another's faces, their mouths smeared with the victim's blood, their eyes soften and they look, at last, close, their fates entwined in ways they can't anticipate." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	Let the Right One In (2008)	98%
	" In another movie, the boy who pursues this girl would be a serial killer." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	Good Dick (2008)	47%

	" As a gangster named One Two, Gerard Butler is suitably rough around all his edges." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%

	" *More observational than overtly critical, The Matador* reveals the ways that violence defines a conventional, familiar, and increasingly scrutinized masculinity.*" -- PopMatters* Posted Nov 14, 2008	The Matador (2008)	80%
	" Sam Jackson and Bernie Mac look positively pained when they squeeze into Pip-like suits and begin to sing." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	Soul Men (2008)	44%
	" *That this sentimental journey is structured as well by the game show connects this jaunty thriller with Boyle's dazzling opus on consumers and/as addicts, Trainspotting." -- PopMatters* Posted Nov 14, 2008	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	92%
	" Playing a character based on himself, or more likely, the self that has appeared on countless tabloid and fan mag covers, Van Damme here invites meditation on genre, consumption, and pleasurable violence in a most visceral way." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	JCVD (2008)	87%

	" This year's Bond Villain means to make a mint off water." -- PopMatters Posted Nov 14, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%

6/10	" High contrasts, as well as grays in between, structure John Henning and Mike Roth's moving 2006 documentary about the legal and political battles surrounding gay marriage in Massachusetts." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Saving Marriage (2008)	81%
4/10	" Body of Lies grants Ferris the usual moral rightness -- even as he's committing questionable acts, he means well." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
6/10	" May's wailing wall appears repeatedly in Gina Prince-Blythewood's The Secret Life of Bees, each time an invitation to reflect, to remember what was and hope for what might be." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	59%
5/10	" The readymade caricature George Bush is as much a reflection of his moment as he is an occasion for Oliver Stone's latest stab at revisionist history." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
4/10	" Less an expose than a recap of what even casual observers of the industry know or intuit, What Just Happened relies on clich�s even as it deplores them." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	53%
6/10	" In Stranded, the endless whiteness of the plane crash survivors' new environment comes to reflect and affect their evolving "society."" -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed in the Mountains (2008)	90%
7/10	" The fear described here is not visceral or familiar, but it is incisive. What if civilization is inexplicable?" -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)	74%
3/10	" By the time Eladio (Rick Gonzalez) makes his single-scene appearance in Pride and Glory, the fate of his adversary has been exhaustively telegraphed." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Pride and Glory (2008)	34%
6/10	" Much like protagonists in previous Charlie Kaufman scripts, Caden is an artist in search of his art." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	64%
4/10	" A movie made with awards season in mind, "Changeling" offers extravagant affects and overwritten speeches." -- PopMatters Posted Oct 27, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
	" The major episodes are, as always, well-executed." -- Philadelphia City Paper Posted Oct 18, 2008	Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)	56%

6/10	" Lanre Olabisi's first feature offers an intricate portrait of relationships and individuals, histories and hopes." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	August The First (2007)	n/a
5/10	" The faux interview preserves Darby Crash's self-image, the reenactment in What We Do Is Secret remembers the preservation." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	44%
2/10	" The fact that Aurora incarnates some extreme other possibility -- be it "light" or darkness, miraculous birth or genocide -- makes her one more "mother of the future."" -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%

5/10	" Using the absurd D�te to indict ambition, passivity, and willful ignorance, "I Served the King of England" is a familiar sort of comedy, equal parts farcical and musical." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	80%
5/10	" While the film appears at first to be complicating the definition of "traitor," it's not long before the potential meanings are reductive and literal." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	Traitor (2008)	56%
6/10	" The plot of "The Grocer's Son" is familiar, but its impressionistic visual stylings are at once lyrical and precise, gestures toward character rather than pronouncements." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Grocer's Son (2008)	89%
6/10	" By the end of "Hallam Foe," you've nearly forgotten his all-too-regular boy development. Now you're wondering, what's Kate doing when he's not looking?" -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	Mister Foe (2008)	72%

6/10	" Ozzie (John Malkovich) embodies the problem of the CIA, of the "intelligence community," which is that it reacts to data, then fashions a story about it to comport with the reaction." -- PopMatters Posted Sep 12, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
