[movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Traitor (2008)      "Tense, unpredictable and intriguing, terrorism weaves a tangled web of conspiracy." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Elegy (2008)      "How ironic that it took a woman - Spanish director Isabel Coixet - to capture Philip Roth's inherently male agony about facing mortality." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Death Race (2008)      "Utilizing an inane, effects-driven script, it's filled with brutal, blood-splattered vehicular mayhem." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Bottle Shock (2008)      "It's the most amusing wine aficionado film since 'Sideways.'" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Clone Wars (2008)      "While the Force may falter on the big-screen, 'Clone Wars' should do far better this fall as a new, half-hour weekly TV series, starting Oct. 3rd on the Cartoon Network." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Mirrors (2008)      "Ranking far below the adaptations of "The Ring" and "The Grudge," this Asian horror film re-make is simply ludicrous." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      American Teen (2008)      "While Nanette Burstein's naturalistic approach is admirable, the results are stereotypical, capturing a feeling of authenticity despite some obvious staging." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Tropic Thunder (2008)      "Ben Stiller's audacious spoof of war movies is - without doubt - the summer's funniest comedy, sending up Hollywood egos." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Frozen River (2008)      "A compassionate, cross-cultural chronicle of humanity beseiged by hard times." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Man on Wire (2008)      "Exhilarating and engrossing" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Pineapple Express (2008)      "Much of the silly, half-baked humor is based on the smug idea that watching clumsy stoners being high is amusing but, unless you're joining them, it isn't." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)      "A distractingly kaleidoscopic look at four familiar coming-of-age adventures." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)      "A witty, cleverly crafted meditation on love - in all of its many fascinating permutations." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Swing Vote (2008)      "Despite its disturbing inconsistencies, this gently satirical, Frank Capra-esque riff on the political process is a melodramatic civics lesson." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)      "Didn't anyone realize that 39 year-old Brendan Fraser couldn't play the father of 27 year-old Luke Ford? With this noisy, frenetic, futile installment, it's time to wrap the 'Mummy' franchise." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Brideshead Revisited (2008)      "Intelligently adapted and impeccably directed with superb performances, it's a pensive, melancholy evocation of the far-better mini-series that's now available on DVD." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Felon (2008)      "This tough, uncompromising, cautionary thriller should be a wake-up call about America's outrageously archaic laws insofar as defending the sanctity of home and family." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Step Brothers (2008)      "Don't be fooled by the family-friendly collapsing bunk-bed trailers! This is a crude, grossly vulgar, comedic rumination on contemporary parenting and sibling rivalry." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Space Chimps (2008)      "A decidedly disapppointing, if occasionally diverting, digitally animated feature." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)      "There are no alien abductions, no space invaders, no conspiracy theories, nolthing spooky or supernatural - just a routine crime drama, like "C.S.I.: West Virginia."" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       10/10      The Dark Knight (2008)      "It's an action-filled crime drama revolving around a dangerous, demented anarchist. Once again, the Joker's wild!" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Brick Lane (2008)      "Poignant and subtle, it tackles cross-cultural conflict and racial intolerance." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Meet Dave (2008)      "Tedious time-waster that apologizes to its family-friendly audience with, 'Sorry, Earth, sometimes No. 2 happens!'" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Mamma Mia! (2008)      "Uplifting, finger-snapping, energetic fun - meaning "Money, Money, Money" at the box-office." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Last Mistress (2008)      "Steamy, sumptuous and sensual, filled with post-feminist sexual politics. Think of a 19th century "Fatal Attraction" in French." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "A dark fantasy/horror tale, it's chaotic yet spectacular." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Days and Clouds (2008)      "Sensitive and subtle, it sympathetically details the devastation of economic insecurity and the regeneration of a marriage." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)      "Don't settle for 2-D - choose a theater with 3-D - and then hang on for an awesome, astonishing, eye-popping ride into another world!" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)      "An unfocused, agonized tear-jerker about loss and mourning but some of the performances are excellent." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Kabluey (2008)      "Light-hearted, utterly charming, low-budget screwball comedy about loneliness and alienation - with timely, touching, thought-provoking relevance." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Tell No One (2008)      "This superbly acted and directed French thriller is eerie and suspenseful. But it's convoluted, complicated storytelling with an abrupt, anti-climactic resolution." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Hancock (2008)      "Frenetic, forgettable and unfulfilling. Even Will Smith looks uncharacteristically uncomfortable." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       10/10      WALL-E (2008)      "Wistful and whimsical, it's a visionary robotic romance that's destined to be one of the best pictures of the year." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)      "A brand-new chick flick for the pre-teen set, it's sweetly wholesome and unabashedly sentimental." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Wanted (2008)      "Bekmambetov ups the ante on turning cult comic books into big-screen adventures with this hyper-kinetic, viscerally thrilling, supercharged transformation of a nerd into a superhero." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Mongol (2008)      "This - the first of a trilogy - is a coming-of-age story about the nomadic lad who eventually became the great warrior, Genghis Khan." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      The Love Guru (2008)      "This feeble spoof of self-help spiritualism is atrocious and inanely tedious." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Get Smart (2008)      "While Steve Carell is a natural as secret agent Maxwell Smart, pairing him with 20 years younger Anne Hathaway is a major miscalculation. And the humor just misses by THAT much." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Elsa & Fred (2008)      "Brilliantly acted by two septugenarians who wallow in shameless sentimentality, it's exuberant and thoroughly entrancing." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Happening (2008)      "A creepy cautionary eco-thriller than neither cautions nor thrills. Instead of being full of dread, it's just dreadful." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      The Promotion (2008)      "The acting, not Steve Conrad's bland writing and uneven pacing, drives this low-key, mildly amusing, occasionally insightful workplace satire." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Incredible Hulk (2008)      "While not as good as Iron Man, it's a fast-paced, action-packed popcorn picture." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)      "A silky smooth, subversively silly political satire." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Kung Fu Panda (2008)      "Gravity-defying, action-packed family comedy - it's chop-socky fun." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      War, Inc. (2008)      "It's a savage, tediously exaggerated "SNL" lampoon that misfires." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      The Fall (2008)      "It's visually sumptuous and intriguing but its lack of tonal consistency makes it often incoherent and emotionally inaccessible." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Stuck (2007)      "To describe this as 'bleak' and 'brutal' is an understatement." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Savage Grace (2008)      "Strange, stylized and sordid, it deals with lurid, repugnant relationships." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Strangers (2008)      "While expoliting our fear of random house invasion, there's no excuse for careless continuity and illogical behavior. Sloppy cinematic details diminish the scare factor." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate
