Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       A-      Boy A (2008)      "It's a sad movie, no question -- but like most great drama, it inspires admiration for its thoughtfulness and its craft." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Tell No One (2008)      "It's a potboiler -- not groundbreaking or brilliant, but solidly entertaining." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D-      College (2008)      "Anybody in the market for a rip-off of Superbad? All it's missing are the likable characters and the good performances! Oh, and the comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       F      Disaster Movie (2008)      "Embarrassment. It's a feeling you should get used to, Freidberg and Seltzer. May you never befoul another cinema with your grotesque comic abortions." [movie review]      Film.com       C+      Elegy (2008)      "The high-minded philosophical discussions feel like posturing, like the movie is trying a little too hard to earn that "prestige" title." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Frozen River (2008)      "This is a sharp, emotionally engaging drama, and a powerful debut from a new filmmaker." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Traitor (2008)      "It's serious and intense like a fall political drama, but it's shallow and meaningless like a summer blockbuster." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The House Bunny (2008)      "Offers more actual empowerment and inspiration to young women than the phony Sex and the City or Mamma Mia!, and it's a lot funnier to boot." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Death Race (2008)      "A testament to the incompetence of Paul W.S. Anderson, who has never made a good movie and apparently isn't about to start now." [movie review]      Film.com       A-      Hamlet 2 (2008)      "In a year punctuated with very funny movies, Hamlet 2 stands out as the most peculiar and comedically risky." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Man on Wire (2008)      "We know it didn't end with Petit falling to his death, but darned if it isn't still compelling to see the caper laid out." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Mirrors (2008)      "Really doesn't have much up its sleeve other than parlor tricks and gimmicks." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D-      The Clone Wars (2008)      "Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad." [movie review]      Film.com       B+      Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)      "Bardem and Cruz bring a vitality that Allen's work hasn't seen since he converted to Scarlett Johansson-ism a few years ago." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      Henry Poole Is Here (2008)      "The kind of movie where you could read the first 20 pages of the screenplay and accurately predict what will happen in the remaining 80." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Fly Me To The Moon (2008)      "Dull dialogue, a dull story, and dull animation. What's left?" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)      "Thompson admirers will enjoy the film the most, of course, but even the uninitiated will surely find him a fascinating character, if not always a likable one." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Tropic Thunder (2008)      "Hacks Hollywood to pieces more astutely, mercilessly, and hilariously than any satire in at least a decade." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Bottle Shock (2008)      "Based on a true story but overwritten into a cutesy, contrived mess, Bottle Shock is the Two Buck Chuck of wine movies." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)      "Like Sex and the City, this one is strictly for the already-converted." [movie review]      Film.com       B      Pineapple Express (2008)      "The new film is more disciplined and less scattershot than Apatow's previous films -- and slightly less funny, too. But only slightly." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)      "It's like Cohen and Co. once heard someone describe an Indiana Jones rip-off and they just copied down whatever they could remember, and then added some yeti." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Swing Vote (2008)      "I wanted to like it, and I liked many things about it, but man, slicing off about 20 minutes and three subplots would sure improve it." [movie review]      Film.com       C+      The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)      "As a TV episode, it would be unmemorable but OK. As a theatrical feature requiring paid admission and a two-hour time commitment, uh, not so much." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Step Brothers (2008)      "This one's strictly for Ferrell, McKay, and Reilly -- and for those of us who really, really like them." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)      "It is almost indescribably painful, yet just as powerfully inspiring, a mix of good and evil and victories and setbacks that are sure to move even jaded viewers." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Mamma Mia! (2008)      "Many lighthearted musicals have frilly plots, but the story cobbled together for Mamma Mia! is particularly superficial and imbecilic." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Space Chimps (2008)      "The film is no classic, certainly, but it's not one of those throwaway puff pieces, either." [movie review]      Film.com       A-      The Dark Knight (2008)      "Nolan has shot The Dark Knight with the utmost confidence, and with a gleefully morbid sense of fun that prevents it from becoming oppressively bleak." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Happy Birthday, Harris Malden (2008)      "It's a movie that wants to be your pal, and hey, doggone it, what's not to like?" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Your Name Here (2008)      "A film with loopy logic and a patience-trying devotion to its own weirdness." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Meet Dave (2008)      "Let's be honest: The shocker here would have been if it were any good." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)      "A perfectly good way for a family to spend a Saturday afternoon, particularly if that family has a lot of 8-to-12-year-old boys." [movie review]      Cinematical       B-      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "Moderately enjoyable, occasionally wonderful, and often overblown." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)      "The movie gets by largely on its guileless, upbeat charm, and on those same qualities as found in Abigail Breslin." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Garden Party (2008)      "The characters aren't interesting, and the stories toggle between tawdry and ridiculous." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Hancock (2008)      "Most of the film is zippy, funny, and fascinatingly strange -- all qualities that are often lacking in some of the more bloated action blockbusters." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      The Promotion (2008)      "Easily one of the freshest, funniest comedies of the year." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Wanted (2008)      "The stylized violence and unapologetically ludicrous action sequences are the selling point, and Wanted delivers those by the blood-soaked truckload." [movie review]      Cinematical       B-      Stuck (2007)      "Gordon's fantastic finale is immensely satisfying, more than compensating for the prior weaknesses." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      WALL-E (2008)      "Here I am, surprised and delighted all over again at just how well these people can tell a story." [movie review]      Film.com       B+      Visioneers      "It's a high-concept comedy, but it's down-to-earth and accessible, even a little touching." [movie review]      Cinematical       B-      The Love Guru (2008)      "Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are that I wound up sort of enjoying it." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      The Rocker (2008)      "It's modestly entertaining, occasionally funny, and generally agreeable. I just don't think Wilson should quit his day job yet." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      Get Smart (2008)      "One of the better TV adaptations to come along in recent years." [movie review]      Cinematical       D      The Happening (2008)      "There's never an ounce of suspense, mystery, or surprise." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The Foot Fist Way (2008)      "A raucous and often very funny examination of a man who is a loser in every possible respect." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The Incredible Hulk (2008)      "Offers the quantity of action that many people felt was lacking in Ang Lee's more contemplative 2003 treatment." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Kung Fu Panda (2008)      "It's slick, energetic, and entertaining enough to separate it from most of the in-it-for-the-cash animated products that the studios have been cranking out the last few years." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)      "Just when you think they're on to something, the film reverts to the usual Sandler and Co. laziness" [movie review]      Film.com
