2/5	"The final third is a stretch of moviemaking so utterly lacking in coherence and competence that Ed Wood himself would have been embarrassed to have had his good name attached to the results." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 2, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
1/5	"So ugly, unpleasant and devoid of laughs that the notion of releasing a film with such a title on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is actually one of the least offensive things about it." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 29, 2008	Disaster Movie (2008)	0%
2/5	"By failing to properly transform Roth's unique voice from the page to the screen, all that remains is a fairly embarrassing and horribly mawkish soap opera that, save for one key element, is pretty much a wash from beginning to end." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
4/5	" While it doesn't completely succeed at its intentions, it contains enough funny moments to almost make you overlook the fact that it doesn't." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	62%
1/5	"Even though the original film was made more than 30 years ago on a short schedule and a miniscule budget, its scenes of car-based carnage are actually more exciting and cinematically inventive than the messes on display here." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 22, 2008	Death Race (2008)	40%
1/5	"While watching it won't necessarily lead to seven years of bad luck, it does make for a fairly aggravating 110 minutes." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 15, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	16%
1/5	"The only big question you may be asking yourself after watching this will probably be "What could [fill in the name of any of the talented people inexplicably involved here] have possibly been thinking when they signed on?"" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 14, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	37%
1/5	"A disgracefully vapid and horrendously ugly work that makes the likes of "Doogal" or "Happily N'Ever After" look like "Pinocchio" and "WALL-E" by comparison." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 14, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	16%
4/5	"While it may not quite belong in the top ranks alongside such avowed masterpieces as "Manhattan" or "The Purple Rose of Cairo," it is the first one of his comedies in quite a while to at least deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those titles." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 14, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	81%
1/5	"It is so bad that it could well rival the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special" as the single most useless piece of "Star Wars"-related entertainment ever made and at least in that legendary disaster, the animated aspect was actually not too bad." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 14, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	20%
4/5	"It sounds like a potentially unpalatable mix of dumb-dumb comedy and backstage in-jokes but one of the impressive things about the film is how it takes such a theoretically dodgy concept and makes it work despite all of the potential hiccups." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 12, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	84%
1/5	""Hell Ride" is so bad that if I were forced to choose between seeing it again or seeing my worst nightmare version of what "Wild Hogs 2" might entail, I am fairly certain that I would select the latter without a moment's hesitation." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 8, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	11%
3/5	"Although not entirely without its charms, the film comes up somewhat short and while there isn't much of anything wrong with it, there isn't much of anything right with it either." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 5, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	46%
2/5	"An unnecessary continuation that is strangely dour and populated by a quartet of actresses who seem as if they would rather be doing anything than living up to their contractual obligations to appear in a sequel now that they have better things to do" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 5, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
4/5	"A stoner film that actually lives up to all the buzz, both in the press and in the audience." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 5, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
1/5	"By far the most shallow and inauthentic film that I have seen so far in 2008 and bear in mind, I have seen "Zombie Strippers."" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 31, 2008	American Teen (2008)	70%
4/5	" It almost manages to restore (at least temporarily) one's faith in both the democratic process and Kevin Costner's career." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 31, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	39%
1/5	"You get the sense that it has been written both by and for ADD-afflicted children who have seen way too many movies and who are determined to simply repeat their favorite parts from them, regardless of whether or not they make any sense." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
2/5	"In trying to wrestle the story into a workable running time, the film has taken a greatest hits approach to the material that recreates the best-known moments but which lacks all of the nuance and detail of either the book or the miniseries." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	68%
4/5	"It presumably won't change many minds and those not already predisposed to the music of CSNY but those with a predilection for either the singers or the sentiments will likely finds this film to be a valuable document indeed." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	CSNY D�j� Vu (2008)	63%
4/5	" It may not be the most sophisticated film around but every once in a while, you need an unabashedly juvenile goof to sort of clear the pipes and this one gets the job done." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
1/5	"In the ten years since the first film and six years since the ending of the series, couldn't they have come up with something more interesting than a plot that suggests what "They Saved Hitler's Brain" might have been like in the hands of Andy Milligan?" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 24, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	33%
5/5	"Not the kind of period piece that you normally get from Catherine Breillat." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 17, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	78%
1/5	"The best things about the film are that the ingenue is a babe, it is 30 minutes than "Sex and the City" and no one sings "Fernando." Of course, I could say the same things about "Wanted" and that film at least had better choreography." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	54%
4/5	"It is actually kind of funny and entertaining despite the fact that it looks and sounds as though it is anything but that." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 17, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	33%
5/5	"A great work of contemporary cinema and easily the most artistically significant film ever made to ever inspire its own fast-food pizza tie-in." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
5/5	"A mesmerizing new documentary that contains some of the most stunning, unlikely and unforgettable moments that Herzog has ever given us and by definition, that means that they are some of the most stunning, unlikely and unforgettable moments ever seen." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2007)	94%
4/5	" Now that I have let it settle in my head for a few days, I have come to sort of embrace it after all, not despite the lunacy of its plot but because of it." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	92%
2/5	"The kind of hollow, graceless and deeply irritating failure that pretty much single-handedly embodies everything that is wrong with contemporary American independent film." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	67%
4/5	"del Toro has made an astounding bit of eye candy but viewers going in hoping for another emotional masterpiece on the level of "Pan's Labyrinth" may come away from it slightly disappointed." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
3/5	"The screenwriters seem to have dedicated far more time to trying to shoehorn in as many gags involving things flying off the screen than into trying to come up with an interesting story in which to frame them." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	61%
3/5	"Lord knows you have seen worse movies than this one and Lord knows that Eddie Murphy has probably been in many of them." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	20%
5/5	"Just as twisted, surprising and gruesome as anything that Argento has given us in the past and a more than worthy successor to its two predecessors." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	49%
2/5	"There are some moments when it looks as though it is somehow going to work but then, much like its anti-hero, it comes crashing back to Earth, leaving nothing behind of note besides a giant mess." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 1, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
2/5	" "Finding Amanda" is little more than what "Hardcore" might have been like if it had been rewritten by the author of a dirty joke book--an idea that, come to think of it, is actually more amusing than anything on display here." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 26, 2008	Finding Amanda (2008)	38%
5/5	"One of the cheerfully insane, visually extraordinary and compulsively entertaining action blockbusters to emerge from Hollywood in a long, long time." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
5/5	"*As horrible, wretched, infantile, disgusting and flat-out lousy as "The Love Guru" is, that is how wonderful "WALLE" is.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	97%
4/5	"However, while it may not be particularly original or inspired, it does contain the one ingredient that has been largely missing from most American comedies of late--actual laughs--and it provides enough of those to make it worth a look." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 19, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
1/5	"Myers approaches the material along the lines of a nine-year-old child who has just heard his first dirty jokes and will not rest until he has made sure that he has repeated them to everyone he knows." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
4/5	"And yet, while even the most charitable viewer would be forced to consider "War Inc." to be a somewhat unfocused and undisciplined mess, there are still a lot of good things strewn throughout the wreckage." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 12, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
1/5	"The actors try and fail to look terrified at things that simply aren't that terrifying to look at, unless you are one of those people who considers "Days of Heaven" to be a relentless excursion in gut-wrenching horror." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
1/5	"A thudding dull and dunderheaded piece of product that is generally uninteresting to look at, frequently painful to listen to and a constant insult to all the things that Ang Lee accomplished in his take on the material." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 12, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
1/5	"I have read reviews from seemingly sensible critics who have found this one to be equally amusing, which would indicate that they are all on some wavelength that I am as yet not privy to or that I need to recalibrate my conception of the word "sensible."" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	57%
4/5	"A bitterly funny and genuinely angry portrait of a contemporary culture that has become so debased and selfish that it has become easier to refuse to aid a dying person for fear that it might inconvenience your own life in some way." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 5, 2008	Stuck (2007)	71%
2/5	"The film is so restrained and deadpan that it barely seems alive" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
1/5	"Any hopes of it actually transforming into a dark and corrosive satire are pretty much dissipated in the first few minutes when we get inexplicable close-ups of our hero catching both a Hacky Sack and an entire barbecued fish between his butt cheeks." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2/5	"It lacks that final spark of ingenuity or inspiration that would have transformed it from an amusing idea into a full-fledged movie worth watching." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 5, 2008	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	88%
1/5	"If Singh had only lavished a sliver of his attention to the simple matter of creating an engaging tale to service these visions, he might have created the truly amazing work that hhe seems capable of delivering instead of the gorgeous mess he has given us" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 29, 2008	The Fall (2008)	55%
2/5	" There are enough flaws on display in "The Strangers" to keep it from ever generating the necessary suspense to prevent viewers from noticing those flaws in the first place." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 29, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	43%
1/5	"143 minutes of unbearably shallow characters, numerous extraneous plot threads in lieu of a central storyline and more product placements than in the "Cannonball Run" saga entire." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)	51%
