The Longshots
"A surprisingly tepid directorial effort ... the pic seldom deviates from the genre-cliché playbook ..." Full Review

PG
The House Bunny
"Elevated via a strong script ... 'The House Bunny' is a blissfully broad comedy that should catapult Anna Faris into a singular kind of stardom ..." Full Review

PG13
I.O.U.S.A.
"...an alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility ... [a] highly informative documentary ..." Full Review

PG
The Rocker

"The pic's tendency to lecture on the power of faith and religion and on the demerits of science seems to assume an almost childlike audience ..." Full Review
Aug 15, 2008
PG
Tropic Thunder
"... apart from startling, out-there comic turns by Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise, the antics here are pretty thin, redundant and one-note." Full Review

R
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
"... seems a good bet to grab a sizable chunk of the underserved chick-flick demographic ... [The film] is about pleasability, not plausibility." Full Review
Aug 06, 2008
PG13
Pineapple Express
"... fitfully funny, tonally trippy but not entirely satisfying ... an unruly, literally half-baked hybrid of bloody high jinks and stoner laughs." Full Review

R
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
"... it's clear the time has come for this 'Mummy' franchise to be truly mummified ... the film comes off as both old hat and low-grade ..."" Full Review
