Gomorra (2008) 90% D EDIT “A dull repeat of The Sopranos, only without any character development.” – E! Online Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Australia (2008) 53% C+ EDIT “The beautiful locations and production values can't compensate for all the thin characters and lack of originality.” – E! Online Nov 25, 2008 Full Review Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) 65% B+ EDIT “Just like good porn, the movie delivers scene after scene of tension and release, and you leave the theater happy. And maybe a little tired.” – E! Online Oct 30, 2008 Full Review Changeling (2008) 61% C+ EDIT “The movie avoids any nuance or shading in Collins. It starts in black-and-white, and that's where it ends.” – E! Online Oct 24, 2008 Full Review W. (2008) 57% D EDIT “Whatever your political bent, we can all come together as Americans and agree on one thing: The movie just isn't very good.” – E! Online Oct 17, 2008 Full Review The Express (2008) 63% C EDIT “It's tough, admittedly, to sum up someone's life in just two hours, and even tougher when that person is as genuinely impressive as Ernie Davis. Unfortunately, this movie tries to cram it all in.” – E! Online Oct 10, 2008 Full Review Lakeview Terrace (2008) 44% C- EDIT “Director Neil LaBute struggles mightily to turn a reliable B-movie premise (maniac cop goes too far) into a deep social commentary about race, or real estate, or something, but the result is an inexplicable mess.” – E! Online Sep 18, 2008 Full Review Righteous Kill (2008) 18% B+ EDIT “De Niro and Pacino hit every step so perfectly, they make even the standard cop-movie moments shine.” – E! Online Sep 12, 2008 Full Review The Longshots (2008) 41% D EDIT “Based on the real-life of Jasmine Plummer, this story ought to have all the heart and drama needed, but the onscreen version is too sloppy to even get the clichs right.” – E! Online Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Death Race (2008) 41% B EDIT “This remake of Roger Corman's camp classic spackles enough blood and burnt rubber into the gaping plot holes it's easy to ignore them until the ride home.” – E! Online Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) 18% C EDIT “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a movie that ignited imaginations and redefined adventure. It's kind of sad that this generation only gets a retread.” – E! Online Aug 14, 2008 Full Review The Incredible Hulk (2008) 68% b EDIT “Hulk smash? Let's put it like this: He uses police cars as boxing gloves. Yeah. Hulk smash.” – E! Online Jun 12, 2008 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 77% A EDIT “Fortunately, a smart script and great set pieces make this tale of Soviet spies, weird artifacts and a lost city a worthy capstone to the series.” – E! Online May 22, 2008 Full Review Redbelt (2008) 68% a- EDIT “This scores high on the ass-kickery meter, and what could have been another generic fight film is elevated into a thinking-man's Rocky by writer-director David Mamet.” – E! Online May 1, 2008 Full Review Shine a Light (2008) 85% B- EDIT “It probably looked great on paper. Oh, sure, the concert scenes in this documentary about the Stones' show in New York are top-of-the-line, but it's nothing new.” – E! Online Apr 3, 2008 Full Review Leatherheads (2008) 53% A- EDIT “A good-natured throwback to the days of screwball comedy, the movie is at its best away from the playing field.” – E! Online Apr 3, 2008 Full Review Superhero Movie (2008) 17% D- EDIT “What's supposed to be a spoof of all the comic-book movies clogging theaters turns out to be an unfunny retread of the first Spider-Man.” – E! Online Mar 28, 2008 Full Review Drillbit Taylor (2008) 26% B EDIT “It's all entertaining, especially with the Apatow-patented dialogue, in this case from screenwriters Kristofor Brown and Seth Rogen.” – E! Online Mar 20, 2008 Full Review The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 43% C- EDIT “The talented cast is largely wasted.” – E! Online Feb 28, 2008 Full Review The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) 81% B EDIT “This adventure of preteens encountering a mythical realm lacks the scope of the other entries in the Harry Potter sweepstakes, but it still manages to provide scares and action for the under-12 set.” – E! Online Feb 14, 2008 Full Review Fool's Gold (2008) 11% c- EDIT “This movie is a lot like going on vacation and only eating at chain restaurants: familiar and bland, despite the beautiful surroundings.” – E! Online Feb 7, 2008 Full Review Rambo (2008) 38% F EDIT “The problem is, even as mindless violence, the movie fails.” – E! Online Jan 24, 2008 Full Review 27 Dresses (2008) 40% B EDIT “Even if we see the happy ending from miles away, it's still a happy ending.” – E! Online Jan 17, 2008 Full Review The Orphanage (2007) 87% C EDIT “There's not too much original or surprising in the film.” – E! Online Jan 11, 2008 Full Review Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 82% B- EDIT “The movie really snaps when Hanks and Hoffman are firing screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's dialogue back and forth, discussing arms deals with deadpan humor.” – E!
