Tropic Thunder
(2008)

Some of it is very funny, some of it is too broad.

The Rocker
(2008)

Richard Roeper

It is a goofy and amusing late summer film with more than enough laughs to recommend it.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

One of the more mediocre entries in the entire Star Wars catalogue.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Penelope Cruz deserves a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her fiery, crazy, sexy work in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Hell Ride
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper
|
Maybe only once every six months am I in the mood for jokey sadism, but this struck me as the right picture for the right time.

Pineapple Express
(2008)

Richard Roeper

Watching Pineapple Express is like sitting dead sober in a room with a bunch of stoned people who are laughing uproariously. They're having a great time. You're not.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
(2008)
|

You believe these four are friends now and will probably be friends when they're little old ladies.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I was never a fan of the first two, but those are masterpieces compared to this clunk 'o junk.

Sixty Six

I think it's a very heartfelt story, but we get the same thing over and over again.

Swing Vote

Not a bad movie, probably OK to rent on DVD, but I'm saying don't rush to the theaters.

Step Brothers

Don't watch it on an airplane, don't check it out on cable, don't walk past the bargain basement bin where it's been sold.

Brideshead Revisited

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper
|
The movie gets into some pretty freaky territory in the third act, but for this casual fan of the series, it's a strong effort featuring some great characters.

American Teen

Compared to the contrived junk we see on M온라인카지노추천 masquerading as a reality series, I think this is very authentic.

Space Chimps

I have to admit, there's a sort of dopey, cute, harmless charm to this movie. It actually doesn't stink.

Transsiberian

I'm not saying it's that good, but it's a solid if sometimes messy and confusing crime story.

Meet Dave
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper
|
Even in C-movie junk like this, Murphy manages to wring a few laughs out of the material. But the humor is so broad it barely fits onto the screen.

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper
|
This is more about the culture of celebrity, the sensationalism, a power hungry, media-hungry judge, and all the things that have happened since then. And as such, it's a very good documentary.

The Dark Knight
(2008)

This is a rich, complex, visually thrilling piece of pop entertainment, as strong as any superhero epic we've ever seen.

Finding Amanda
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper
|
Broderick's sunny spin on the deeply flawed Taylor is interesting but eventually defies belief. In the third act, Finding Amanda loses steam altogether.

The Happening
(2008)
|
Richard Roeper

It almost dares you to roll your eyes or laugh at certain scenes that are supposed to be deadly serious. But, you know what, I appreciated this creatively offbeat, daring sci-fi mind-trip.

The Promotion

This is one of the more original movies of the year, and it's the rare film that's primarily about the workplace.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan

I'm all for politically incorrect humor, but there has to be humor in the political incorrectness, and I didn't get it here.

Don't let the attractive cast, the slick look or the 'inspired by true events' nonsense mislead you. The Strangers is a despicable and mean-spirited practical joke.
