This one should have stayed in Vegas." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Speed Racer (2008)      "If you're into high-octane car racing, trippy Japanese anime and awesome visuals, this is spectacular, adrenaline-pumping family fare." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      A Previous Engagement (2008)      "It's the rarest of all things: an intelligent, sophisticated romance with real meat on its bones." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Iron Man (2008)      "It's Robert Downey Jr., having triumphed over his substance abuse battle, who puts the pedal to the metal and scores the freshest new franchise going." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Made of Honor (2008)      "It's a delightful, audience-pleasing, fun-filled fairytale of laughter and love." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Deception (2008)      "So when does enigmatic become incoherent? In the hands of an inept, inxperienced director." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Then She Found Me (2008)      "Stylish yet deeply sensitive, lifting your spirit. No one will come away without a smile." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Baby Mama (2008)      "It's wry and satirical but just not as hip as I was hoping. Perhaps I expected too much from two of SNL's funniest comediennes." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)      "It's simply tedious, butt-kicking, cliche-ridden, chop-schlocky action." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Prom Night (2008)      "It's tepid fare with a vacuous cast, particularly when compared with the previous version featuring Jamie Lee Curtis as the scream queen." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Street Kings (2008)      "There ought to be a testosterone warning posted at the box-office because overdosing is a distinct possibility, and to call Reeves'a acting wooden is an insult to Pinnochio." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Shine a Light (2008)      "A consummate concert film but not on a calibre with Scorsese's "The Last Waltz" (1978)." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Smart People (2008)      "Some 'smart people' can be thick as planks...and this is a fragmented, derivative, predictablly underwhelming family drama." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Nim's Island (2008)      "Over-written and awkwardly directed, it's nevertheless family-friendly, complete with flying lizards and a flatulent sea lion." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Leatherheads (2008)      "Admirably stylized but, as sports comedies go, it fumbles." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      21 (2008)      "Here's the deal: this is sheer escapist entertainment - and, as such, it's a good gamble." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)      "Tyler Perry continues his exploration of the sense and sensbility of the African-American community with this fun-loving celebration of the possibility of second chances." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Stop-Loss (2008)      "Problem is: 'Stop-Loss' isn't really about that legal loophole. Instead, it's about soldiers' post-traumatic stress, a subject covered far more effectively before." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Drillbit Taylor (2008)      "The goofy "My Bodyguard" premise is appealing but the execution is flimsy, formulaic and disjointed - neither the characters nor their actions are plausible. The laughs are lame." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)      "An outrageously raunchy romp, another audience-pleaser from Judd Apatow, who stretches farcial, vulgar silliness into outright hilarity." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)      "Using conventional slapstick gags and inventive crosscutting, David Schwimmer scores as a creditable, if not memorable, director...but the innocuous script is totally predictable." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Doomsday (2008)      "Neil Marshall shamelessly rips off elements from so many other action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasies that you feel you've seen all this mayhem before - and you have!" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      College Road Trip (2008)      "Family-friendly doesn't have to mean dumbed-down." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       10/10      Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)      "Wacky and wondrous - it's bountiful fun for children of all ages." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      The Counterfeiters (2008)      "What makes this movie worthwhile is its depiction of a struggle of conscience. What would you do in such a situation? Would you sacrifice another life to extend your own?" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      10,000 B.C. (2008)      "While admittedly formulaic and banal, it's also a guilty pleasure for those who enjoy watching stampeding herds of woolly mammoths." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Under the Same Moon (2008)      "Evoking memories of 'Cinema Paradiso,' it's a gem - one of those rare films that truly touch your heart." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)      "Clumsy and clunky, totally lacking in passion and cohesion, this dull mediocrity is an insult to Philippa Gregory's historical concept of the two rival sisters." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Vantage Point (2008)      "Suspenseful, yes - but it's all too far-fetched to matter much." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)      "It's wonderfulness on a rampage." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Charlie Bartlett (2007)      "Tart, smart and fun." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Penelope (2008)      "A plucky, whimsical romance as the ugly-duckling fantasy morphs into a satiric take on celebrity culture." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      In Bruges (2008)      "Offbeat and off-putting, unless you're really heavily into "guilt and sins and hell and all that."" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Definitely, Maybe (2008)      "Soulful and sweet-natured, this enjoyably romantic whodunit proves that living "happily ever after" isn't quite so easy." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Over Her Dead Body (2008)      "Silly, campy and tepid - no hearts 'n' flowers here." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Untraceable (2008)      "Geeky, gruesome and repugnant." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Rambo (2008)      "Clearly a vanity project, it's graphic and blood-drenched. Stay out of the jungle!" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       1/10      Meet the Spartans (2008)      "Witlessly crude and vulgar - it's my first Worst Movies of 2008 contender." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      27 Dresses (2008)      "A fluffy, frivolous - if formulaic - indulgence for those of us who still enjoy the occasional, old-fashioned wedding fantasy." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Cloverfield (2008)      "Crudely naturalistic yet innocative and effective." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Sharkwater (2007)      "Cautionary environmental documentary that asserts there's more to sharks than "Jaws."" [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       8/10      Honeydripper (2007)      "Filled with observant, atmosphere-drenched, folkloric vignettes that delineate racism in that time in that place." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       8/10      4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)      "What's most remarkable in this grim, harrowing drama is the ensemble. The actors explore their characters softly, yet with chilling authenticity." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       9/10      The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)      "This droll coming-of-age story, set in the turbulent year of 1970, astutely captures the resilience of the human spirit." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       9/10      The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)      "This droll coming-of-age story, set in 1970, astutely captures the resilience of the human spirit." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       9/10      The Band's Visit (2007)      "Fresh, funny and engaging, it's a shame that a technicality disqualified it from Oscar contention." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Persepolis (2007)      "Sensitive and stylized, it's an often comic, yet heartbreaking, outspoken portrait of a young girl and a nation in turmoil." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       8/10      The Orphanage (2007)      "Suspenseful and eerie, prepare to shudder - and weep." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       9/10      The Bucket List (2007)      "A heartfelt, wickedly funny, one-of-a-kind holiday treat...Nicholson's and Freeman's tandem performances are near to perfection." [movie review]      www.susangranger.com       10/10      There Will Be Blood (2007)      "A mesmerizing character-study of a ruthless, misanthropic oilman doggedly building an empire in early 20th century California."
