2/5
 
" The film ends up feeling like even creative inspiration and apotheosis is hopeless because all that can ever emerge from these characters is derivative of some earlier work. When you look at it this way, Chirp can't help seeming like a time capsule..." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Let Them Chirp Awhile (2008)38%

2/5
 
" It's hard to say Clausen's done anything original here." -- Boxoffice Magazine

u Universe of Keith Haring (2008)57%

2/5
 
" The problem here is that, while this seems like a story rife with the drama of ages, it's also a story mired by the drudgery of bureaucracy." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Saving Marriage (2008)81%
/
.5/5
 
" I half expected to see the spoof-making team in direct address, explaining the supremacy of the tentpole uber-alice, perhaps while backed by Emperor Palpatine." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Disaster Movie (2008)2%
/
1.5/5
 
" The animation is very hard to overcome. Even if one doesn't go in expecting Pixar production values, it's hard to see past the mechanical quality of the characters' movements -- which, by the way, makes the robots in the film look great." -- Boxoffice Magazine

The Clone Wars (2008)18%
/
2/5
 
" Though the film is short, the subject it tracks is somewhat unwieldy, and you can almost feel the hands of writer/director/producer Andrea Kreuzhage stretching to fit it all in -- a Herculean task." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
1000 Journals (2008)n/a
/
2/5
 
" Mired by cliché and oddly beset by a sense of false Irishness." -- Boxoffice Magazine

2/5
 
" I’m not so sure Berg is losing faith that his audience can follow along...but in the face of so many comic book films entering theatres, it seems a poor choice to differentiate yours by way of tacky TV-level antics." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)39%
/
1.5/5
 
" Ultimately, the only thing holding this film together is its dedication to its thesis of a title, which it follows to the letter. Very little in the film seems relevant." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Six Sex Scenes and a Murder (2008)17%

2/5
 
" Aesthetically, Dalai Lama Renaissance is well intended, but--like the conference it depicts--in need of more thorough (self) realization." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Dalai Lama Renaissance (2008)n/a
/
1/5
 
" While the aesthetic is charming, colorful and full of whimsy, Anthony Byrne’s partial musical Short Order is wildly uneven and tragically underdeveloped." -- Boxoffice Magazine

" La Llorona is a great, powerful and meaningful myth, and you’d be hard-pressed to find better inspiration for a horror film. Sadly, this isn’t the film that does the subject matter justice." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 2, 2008
 
The Cry - La Llorona (2008)n/a
/
2/5
 
" While this diligently researched film cogently moves from Latin American nation to Latin American nation, explaining the strangely predictable cycle of uprisings among these countries, it’s ultimately hard to identify the audience it addresses." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 2, 2008
 
War on Democracy (2008)n/a
/
1.5/5
 
" Though the point of the film is somewhat obscured by its unwieldy structure (stoned director? high editor?), the project overall has the potential to be the stoner’s Rocky Horror Picture Show." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 14, 2008
 
Super High Me (2008)57%
/
1.5/5
 
" Its PG-13 rating and basic lack of gore seem designed to be uncontroversial, but of course the result of all this anti-controversy is a really dull film." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 21, 2008
 
Shutter (2008)7%
/
2/5
 
" Utilitarian documentary about international breakdancing championship in Germany proves lackluster in its depiction of inventive choreography and culture." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 21, 2008
 
Planet B-Boy (2008)89%
/
2.5/5
 
" It’s apparent some meaningful visuals are being approached here, but it seems like the film keeps missing its mark." -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 17, 2008
 
Sleepwalking (2008)18%
/
 
" The sheer spectacle of the film makes it an easier sell on the big screen than on DVD" -- Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
10,000 B.C. (2008)9%

" There’s a strange sort of vacuousness to Tre, Eric Byler’s newest installment on relationships amidst directionless twentysomethings." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Tre (2008)53%

" Interesting as a catalogue of one man’s collection of pop-culture memorabilia, Finding Kraftland doesn’t really stretch to become anything more." -- Boxoffice Magazine

Finding Kraftland (2008)n/a

" The film suffers under the weight of non-committal performances and awkward accents." -- Slant Magazine
