The Wrestler
“Vibrant, inspiring, and extremely sincere…it’s the best film of 2008.”
Defiance
“A tedious collection of one-dimensional throwaways in a talky and thematically unbalanced script.”
Revolutionary Road
“Small town suburbia becomes a story of psychological survival between two self-delusional lovers backed into a corner.”
Gran Torino
“Another solid piece of work from Eastwood, but one that would easily feel ordinary without him taking the lead.”
Marley & Me
“You’d have to have a heart made of rawhide not to feel a tad gushy while watching ‘Marley & Me.'”
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
“[David] Fincher fails to expand on the inner workings of his characters…there is very little life.”
Bedtime Stories
“Even innocent ideas can be irrefutably toxic.”
Doubt
“Raw emotion and talent. It’s an actor’s showcase.”
Valkyrie
“A suitable action thriller with political undertones.”
The Tale of Despereaux
“Will make a cute plush toy, but as an animated feature it’s unlikable.”
Yes Man
“Everything is just so random at times even the quirky chemistry between [Jim] Carrey and [Zooey] Deschanel…gets lost.”
Seven Pounds
“Not so much thoughtful as it is apparent and improbable.”
