Eastern Promises
Really Great 70 Points 2007

Perhaps the best film of the year: captivating, surprising, taut, sexy, fresh (even though it covers well trod themes of many a mob movie before). Showcases the quiet charisma of Viggo Mortensen in perhaps his finest role yet.

Pretty Bad 16 Points 2007

Aubrey Fleming (Lohan) is an intelligent girl with the support of her kind and fairly well off parents, Susan (Ormond) and Daniel (McDonough). She had won the young artists award for piano in the past and has been taking lessons from Art (Bell) for quite some time. However, Aubrey decides that pl…

Bad 66 Points 2007

Think the title is long? Consider yourself warned: this boring movie never seems to end, meandering for nearly 2½ hours. Plus it commits the deadly sin of assuming that the viewer is familiar with the particulars of Jesse James’ early legend, without which the poorly told story has no narrative…

The Dark Knight

Gomorra
Great 66 Points 2008

A new addition to the canon of great mafia movies, Gomorra entertainingly details the mundane savagery and sociopathic activities of Italy’s oldest organized crime organization. Darkly funny, Gomorra brings to life Roberto Saviano’s hugely important book

OK 1 Points 2008

A serial killer is on the loose in this dark comedy. Riley Lawson becomes his latest victim, while her parents Will and Kate, and her younger brother Reed are left to have their home turned into the next base camp for the FBI and the most inept and insufferable agent in charge. Riley plays along …

Changeling
Really Great 83 Points 2008

Polish up the acceptance speeches. Changeling deserves a passel of trophies, though Best Picture isn’t one of them. The difficult story – while expertly told – ends up a mildly exhausting slog, one not worth enduring for anyone not wanting to visualize the most elemental of maternal nightmare…
