B+	"Why would you choose to be Vicky, the film seems to ask, if you could be Cristina instead? (Or, why move in with the bridge-and-tunnel crowd when you could be bedding the urban sophisticates?)" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted Aug 14, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	81%
A-	"*It could be the bleakest big-budget adventure since Blade Runner* tanked on release near the dawn of the Reagan era.*" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus* Posted Jul 27, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
A-	"A celebration of athleticism, architecture, random beauty and crazy ambition." -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted Jul 26, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
B	"*Brimming with confidence and new ideas, writer/director Guillermo del Toro has made Hellboy II* a different kind of film -- itself a satisfying development.*" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus* Posted Jul 13, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	89%

B-	"Om Shanti Om reaches exuberant musical highs that outshine the melodrama surrounding the set pieces." -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted Jul 6, 2008	Om Shanti Om (2007)	83%

B	"Ranbir Raj is a charming presence with moves that suggest a cross between Justin Timberlake and Gene Kelly, but the screen really comes to life when it's full of dancers." -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted May 28, 2008	Saawariya (2007)	41%

B+	"Speed Racer just gets better -- more cool, frenetic, and spectacular -- up until its gooseflesh-inducing climax." -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted May 8, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%

B-	"*If the ability to genuinely disturb is any measure of a horror film's quality, then The Lost* is a pretty good one.*" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus* Posted Mar 26, 2008	Jack Ketchum's The Lost (2008)	67%
D	"*When it's not being obstinately stupid, Southland Tales* is just difficult to watch.*" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Southland Tales (2007)	34%
B-	"Basically a beautiful, sophisticated soap opera punctuated by the occasional musical number" -- Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus Posted Mar 21, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	67%
