[movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      Son of Rambow (2008)      "Son of Rambow is filled with small surprises and treasures, a veritable bounty of delight." [movie review]      Film.com       C-      Speed Racer (2008)      "Who would have thought a movie this dazzling could also be so boring?" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      What Happens in Vegas (2008)      "I didn't laugh much, and I never felt even an inkling of 'aw, cute!' romance -- but I didn't want to claw my eyes out, either. If that counts as a success, then I guess it's a hit." [movie review]      Film.com       B      Iron Man (2008)      "Iron Man isn't the most well-known or beloved title in the Marvel comic book canon, yet the film adaptation proves to be as plucky, as confident, and as polished as if it were the keystone." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Redbelt (2008)      "Twists and turns with the best of them, with a story line that comprises so many elements it's impossible to guess which direction it's going to head next." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Snow Angels (2008)      "There's a certain beauty in the bleakness, in the stark, snowy landscapes, and in the characters whose lives are just as barren." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The Counterfeiters (2008)      "It does peer deeper into the complicated moral quandaries experienced by Hitler's victims than most films on this topic do." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Baby Mama (2008)      "Baby Mama does not represent the best of either woman's talent, but it'll do for now." [movie review]      Film.com       C      The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)      "Matters of taste aside, the film's platitude-heavy dialogue and pseudo-philosophical themes are ridiculous." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Standard Operating Procedure (2008)      "Errol Morris is the best documentary filmmaker currently working, maybe the best ever." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)      "I don't say the film is crap because I disagree with it. I say it's crap because it disagrees with itself. It teems with contradictions, false dichotomies, and specious reasoning." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      The Wackness (2008)      "A so-so comedy with some genuinely funny scenes, punctuated with too many trying-too-hard elements." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)      "Part of the charm, yes, is the goofiness of it all -- but the film would have been better if it were more cohesive, streamlined, and focused." [movie review]      Film.com       C-      88 Minutes (2008)      "Its U.S. release feels like an obligatory gesture before sending it to DVD -- where, truth be told, it should have gone to begin with." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)      "Sex and nudity are played for laughs, and they genuinely earn them -- not by shocking us, but by reminding us of the awkward hilarity of intimate relationships." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D-      Chapter 27 (2008)      "The film manages to be entirely about Mark David Chapman without saying a single insightful thing about him." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Prom Night (2008)      "The movie is bad in the usual ways and at approximately the usual level. I can't quite muster the energy to hate it." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Street Kings (2008)      "The film is undone by a story that manages to be both implausible and overly familiar. We've seen all of this before -- and we didn't buy it then, either." [movie review]      Film.com       B      Smart People (2008)      "The theme is common in these rumpled-professor stories, but Smart People handles it with wit and charm and even a little poignance." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Nim's Island (2008)      "I'm not going to quibble too much with a harmless adventure flick meant for tween girls. Then again, I'm not going to knock myself out recommending it, either." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      The Ruins (2008)      "It may not be as fundamentally unsettling as the book was, but it's not a bad horror flick." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Leatherheads (2008)      "A loopy Roaring Twenties screwball comedy, executed with confidence." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Mongol (2008)      "The film earns our attention and respect the way fictional movies do: by crafting a well-told, entertaining story." [movie review]      Cinematical       B-      Klopka (2007)      "It may have some extra padding, but its bone structure -- the basic story and the way it's laid out -- is impeccable." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      Beaufort (2008)      "A fine war picture, one that spotlights war's wastefulness and futility, and humanizes its soldier characters." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      American Teen (2008)      "More entertaining, funny, and hopeful than almost any fictional film I've seen this year." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Stellet Licht (2007)      "If the film is effective (as it was for me), we are happy to enjoy the silences, to meditate on the striking visual images, and to share in the thoughts of the characters." [movie review]      Cinematical       C-      Battle in Seattle (2008)      "Watching it is like being jabbed in the belly with a police baton, and not in a good way." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Up With Me (2008)      "Up With Me is proof that you can make a good film out of old ideas." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Yeast (2008)      "Don't expect us to congratulate you for doing a great job of making something unbearable." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      At the Death House Door (2008)      "[The directors'] touch is artistic but not pretentious, utilizing music and other cinematic effects sparingly -- just enough to elevate the film from public-television special to high art." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Super High Me (2008)      "A niche doc.... Don't smoke this particular joint unless you're already familiar with the buzz." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Secrecy (2008)      "A sharply produced, thought-provoking documentary that makes compelling arguments on both sides." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)      "Like most comedy sequels, it is not as funny as its predecessor -- but, like most comedy sequels, that won't matter too much if you get stoned before you watch it." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Superhero Movie! (2008)      "It's rather benign, actually -- never very funny, and never amusing for more than a few moments at a time, but not grating or clownish, either." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)      "Could a better combination of collaborators have produced something greater? Definitely. But this cheerful mix of juvenility and grown-up-relationship angst goes down smoothly enough to be worth watching." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)      "Well, it took five tries, but Tyler Perry has finally made a good movie." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)      "Succeeds where previous Dr. Seuss adaptations have fallen short, most notably by using animation -- fluid, elastic, genuinely Seussian animation -- to tell the story." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      10,000 B.C. (2008)      "It's just a wrong movie altogether, an elaborately nonsensical stew of crazy costumes, bizarre accessories, and funny voices." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Shutter (2008)      "The epitome of gutless, derivative hackwork." [movie review]      Film.com       C-      Drillbit Taylor (2008)      "It very quickly loses whatever steam it had, to the point that the last half hour feels unbearably drawn out." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Never Back Down (2008)      "If you combined The Karate Kid with Fight Club, then threw in a dash of The O.C. and You Got Served then beat it with a stick until it was really stupid, you'd have something twice as smart as Never Back Down." [movie review]      Film.com       F      College Road Trip (2008)      "I hated every minute of this train wreck." [movie review]      Film.com       B      The Bank Job (2008)      "The story is filled with new dimensions that separate it from a run-of-the-mill heist flick." [movie review]      Film.com       B+      Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)      "As light and pleasant as a summer breeze and almost as weightless." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)      "A solid sophomore effort, and proof enough that Spurlock is not just a one-hit wonder." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Chicago 10 (2008)      "Morgen is an invigorating filmmaker, not content to go the well-traveled route when there's a new path to try. Chicago 10 benefits from that sense of adventure." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)      "The Other Boleyn Girl pretends to be a serious historical romance, but it's really just a bodice-ripper, a cheap Harlequin paperback dressed up in frilly clothes." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Semi-Pro (2008)      "The film is not up to par with some of Ferrell's previous efforts, but there are many very funny moments and scenes here." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com
