4.5/5	" An intelligent approach sets this intense drama apart from the crowd, recounting a morally complex story without telling us how to think. The result is a riveting and haunting film that's not actually about the Holocaust." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 5, 2009	The Reader (2008)	60%
4/5	" This film has a striking structure and powerful performances that bring the story to life and add provocative modern-day parallels." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 5, 2009	Che, Part One (2008)	72%
4/5	" *Balabanov (Brother)* writes and directs with an almost unnervingly naturalistic style, loading each scene with pitch-black humour*" -- Shadows on the Wall* Posted Jan 1, 2009	Cargo 200 (2008)	80%
3.5/5	" This lean, mean British horror is just gonzo enough to overcome the limits of the formula and keep us entertained" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	Mum & Dad (2008)	n/a
5/5	" Eastwood directs and acts with remarkable restraint, skilfully getting far beneath the surface" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	Gran Torino (2008)	73%
4/5	" Confident filmmaking, a fiercely clever script and a gifted cast wonderfully bring this set of complex characters to life" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	Doubt (2008)	75%
2/5	" This screen adaptation of Will Eisner's beloved comic books is intriguing enough to be watchable, but is so chaotic that it doesn't work at all" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	The Spirit (2008)	15%
4/5	" A thoroughly engaging, slightly offbeat adventure with solid themes running through it" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	The Tale of Despereaux (2008)	54%
2/5	" As the convoluted structure finally reveals the actual plot, it brings with it the unmistakable whiff of a vanity project" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	Seven Pounds (2008)	29%
2/5	" The central theme of this rather over-egged comedy is strong enough to keep us interested. Although the film itself is far too corny" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Jan 1, 2009	Yes Man (2008)	43%
2.5/5	" The script for this childish comedy is genuinely witty, and nicely played by the cast, but it would have been much more enjoyable if the plot had been a bit more innovative. Or if it actually went somewhere." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 25, 2008	Bedtime Stories (2008)	24%
3.5/5	" Even if it's a bit mannered and over-constructed, there's plenty in here to get us thinking" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 25, 2008	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)	72%
3.5/5	" Based on a true story, this rousing caper adventure can't help but keep audiences engaged. It's an efficiently made, if not particularly inventive, old-style romp that works away at your cynicism until you find a lump in your throat." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 19, 2008	Stone of Destiny (2008)	30%
4.5/5	" With a wealth of archive material, documentary filmmaker Gibney assembles a remarkably astute and comprehensive look at the life of one of the most notorious journalists in American history." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 19, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	86%
4.5/5	" In addition to the pungent writing and direction, the film features a truly stunning performance from Rourke" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 16, 2008	The Wrestler (2008)	98%
2.5/5	" This involving film is weakened by a script that tries to create a formulaic thriller out of an important subject matter." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 12, 2008	Trade (2007)	28%
4/5	" Veteran director Yamada continues to examine issues of duty and loyalty, sharply using matter-of-fact period detail and deep characterisations." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 12, 2008	Love and Honour (2006)	75%
4.5/5	" It's not easy to make a personal drama in Israel that doesn't quickly become overwhelmed in politics, but this film cleverly balances both elements." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 12, 2008	Etz Limon (2008)	88%
2/5	" This remake of the 1951 favourite is oddly botched, trying to combine some timely themes with the structure of a more conventional action thriller." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 12, 2008	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	19%
4/5	" Luhrmann shamelessly indulges in the most sweeping style of filmmaking imaginable, filling the screen with expansive images, action and emotion, plus plenty of cheesy camp" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 8, 2008	Australia (2008)	54%
3.5/5	" This lively animated adventure keeps us entertained even if the story and characters aren't particularly well-developed" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 8, 2008	Bolt (2008)	85%
4/5	" A beautiful performance from Michelle Williams anchors this gentle examination of modern life" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 8, 2008	Wendy and Lucy (2008)	84%
2.5/5	" Besson and Kamen somehow make a film that's even dumber than part 2.... But they've still got the superbly watchable Statham at the centre, so the script is fairly irrelevant." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 5, 2008	Transporter 3 (2008)	36%
3.5/5	" While this film is every bit as warm and emotional as it looks, ... the cast make sure things don't get too sugary." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 5, 2008	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	56%
3.5/5	" Gritty and tough, this period thriller about brothers on opposite sides of the law has remarkably complex characters and a vivid sense of style. Despite a choppy approach, it really grapples with some strong moral dilemmas." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 5, 2008	Rivals (2008)	73%
2.5/5	" This straightforward crazed-madman thriller is trying to pass itself off as an insightful look at racial tension, but it's simply not strong enough to pull off the trick." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Dec 5, 2008	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	49%
4/5	" Taken from his own memoirs, Linson's screenplay has a zing of truth as it cuts through the layers of Hollywood mayhem to tell a thoroughly hilarious and surprisingly involving story of a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 28, 2008	What Just Happened (2008)	54%
3.5/5	" The Dardenne brothers bring their straightforward realism to this haunting story set in a shady world where marriage is exchanged for European citizenship. But in the end, the story's too bleak to coalesce into something important." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 28, 2008	Lorna's Silence (2009)	83%
3.5/5	" Terrific performances elevate this extremely low-key heist thriller into something thoroughly intriguing. It may never crank up much excitement, but the 1960s vibe it generates is very cool." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 28, 2008	Flawless (2007)	55%
3/5	" This film is too fragmented to ever come together. Although terrific actors and some serious subtext make it enjoyable." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 28, 2008	Four Christmases (2008)	25%
3.5/5	" In the final act, an undercooked thriller plot threatens to take over, but is held in check to offer a more resonant kick" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 25, 2008	Twilight (2008)	50%
5/5	" A riveting, harrowing true story that forces us to examine exactly what's involved in putting your life on the line for a cause" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 25, 2008	Hunger (2008)	88%
4.5/5	" Van Sant may be preaching to the choir, but this is relevant, powerful filmmaking." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Milk (2008)	93%
3.5/5	" Three actors bring out the script's darkness with remarkable skill. The rest of the cast is good, but they settle for easier performances" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	56%
3/5	" A powerful true story makes this film worth seeing ... but Eastwood chooses to tell this as an over-produced, over-wrought melodrama." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
4/5	" Stronger animation and a textured story make this even more entertaining than the original" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	63%
4/5	" An intriguingly internalised central plot and outrageously exhilarating action" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%
4.5/5	" Quite possibly the first-ever feature animated documentary, this strong story of war and memory from Israel is essential viewing for anyone interested in film. Or in the Middle East." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Waltz with Bashir (2008)	95%
3/5	" While this film's themes seem to address issues of terrorism and CIA meddling, and the powerful cast suggests we're in Important Movie territory, the result is essentially just a routine spy thriller: entertaining but forgettable." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 21, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
3.5/5	" An epic scope weakens what's actually a gritty, intimate drama about survival. But it's a terrific true story" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 20, 2008	Defiance (2008)	44%
4/5	" Disarmingly likeable characters and a genuinely engaging story set this gross-out romp apart from other Apatow-style adult comedies" -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 20, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
1.5/5	" Loud and completely devoid of wit or interest, this empty-headed action movie looks terrific thanks to its big budget and heavily stylised visuals. But it's impossible to care about anything that happens." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 14, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
4.5/5	" Pumped with energy and authenticity, this film recounts the tumultuous events in 1960s and 70s Germany with vivid detail and an involving cast of characters. It's breathtaking filmmaking, in every sense of the word." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 14, 2008	The Baader-Meinhof Complex (2008)	82%
3/5	" With World Trade Center and this film, it's clear that Oliver Stone has lost his provocative maverick sensibilities. This is a smartly assembled biopic with a powerhouse cast, but its toothless approach makes it feel a bit pointless." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 7, 2008	W. (2008)	58%
3/5	" There are several intriguing themes gurgling around this comical drama, but it's so rambling and loose that nothing really comes together. Even so, the solid acting keeps us interested, and the potent issues keep us thinking." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 7, 2008	Let's Talk About The Rain (2008)	77%
3.5/5	" Snappy and enjoyable, this British class comedy has enough spark to keep us entertained, even though the plot never quite shifts up to full speed. But a few terrific performances make it well worth seeing." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 7, 2008	Easy Virtue (2009)	58%
4/5	" Even with his weaker movies, Woody Allen is more astute than about 80 percent of filmmakers out there." -- Shadows on the Wall Posted Nov 4, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	82%
