	" If you're not with 'us' you're with 'them' -- a premise that should offend anyone regardless of political affiliation, yet this movie buys into it." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Jan 3, 2009	An American Carol (2008)	13%
	" Instead of creating thrills by aimless gunplay, this crackerjack thriller gives viewers an idea of how dangerous the spy business can be." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Jan 2, 2009	Body of Lies (2008)	51%
	" Hong Kong action opuses are renowned more for their pyrotechnics than for their plots. 'Heroic Duo' is what happens when neither element is up to snuff." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 31, 2008	The Heroic Duo (2003)	n/a
	" Aside from the occasional gouging, 'Trackman' is pretty dry, which makes the "unrated" tag slapped on the cover art something of a misnomer." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 31, 2008	Trackman (2007)	n/a
	" Frank Miller does a terrific job turning Central City into a noirish wonderland, but he doesn't find the right spirit to accompany the eye candy." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 29, 2008	The Spirit (2008)	14%
	" Not so much a story as a series of random events and subplots flying at you with next to no rhyme or reason." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 27, 2008	Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage (2008)	n/a
	" 'Delgo' is one of those movies made to keep the kiddies preoccupied without leaving a lasting impression on them." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 23, 2008	Delgo (2008)	14%
5/5	" The Day the Earth Stood Still fascinates the mind as much as it does the eyes." -- Classic Movie Guide Posted Dec 14, 2008	Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)	94%
	" The film's visual sheen is top-notch, but the plot doesn't even come close to grabbing your attention." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 13, 2008	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	19%
	" Bruce Campbell has made some stinkers in his time, but 'My Name Is Bruce' ends up as pure cinematic gold." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 9, 2008	My Name is Bruce (2008)	38%
4/5	" If there's one genre that I'll never tire of, it's con artist movies. Thus, it was only natural that I fell head over heels for this lost classic from the great Sam Fuller." -- Classic Movie Guide Posted Dec 6, 2008	The Baron of Arizona (1950)	n/a
	" This latest comic-to-screen adaptation dips its fingers in grim storytelling and gory theatrics, though it never brings both together in cinematic harmony." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 6, 2008	Punisher: War Zone (2008)	23%
	" What this lame 3D animated feature considers to be humor involves cringe-worthy puns and even worse characterizations." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 4, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	18%
3/5	" *With sheer comedic insanity and glazed over with a coat of diabolical darkness, Arsenic and Old Lace* is nothing short of ahead of its time.*" -- Classic Movie Guide* Posted Nov 30, 2008	Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)	90%
3/5	" The premise doesn't work as brilliantly as it could, but it does just the trick in providing a little over an hour and a half's worth of good, sound, and engaging thrills." -- Classic Movie Guide Posted Nov 30, 2008	And Then There Were None (1945)	100%
3/5	" It's not often that one gets a little extra thought with his or her sci-fi B-movie, and it's even less often that such low-key profundity is executed rather well in a film of this kind." -- Classic Movie Guide Posted Nov 30, 2008	The 27th Day (1957)	n/a
	" The burgeoning 'Transporter' franchise seems to have run out of gas this third time around." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 28, 2008	Transporter 3 (2008)	36%
	" Should you choose to see this brooding narrative, don't be surprised if it feels like something's missing. Ironically, what 'Twilight' lacks most is bite." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 22, 2008	Twilight (2008)	50%
	" There's no rhyme or reason to 'RocknRolla' -- only the illusion of stuff happening and the absence of something to connect it all together." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 18, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
	" Janes Bond isn't dead, folks. He's just getting warmed up in this engaging ride that trounces some of the original Bond outings by leaps and bounds." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 17, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%
	" Unfortunately, it's not long before 'Role Models' wusses out and becomes the corny, feel-good dreck it tried so hard not to turn into." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 8, 2008	Role Models (2008)	76%
	" While making 'Zack and Miri' deeper than the average sex farce, Kevin Smith never loses sight of his other top goal: making viewers laugh." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 5, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	65%
	" Viewers expecting 'Death Defying Acts' to be jaw-dropping entertainment may see their hopes vanish into thin air." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Nov 3, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	44%
	" There's a tongue-in-cheek spirit running rampant here, but it's not enough to excuse the film's more crummy sections." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 29, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	49%
	" 'Expelled' makes harsh generalizations with nothing to back them up, trying to win its argument by making the competition look as bad as possible." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 27, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	10%
	" While 'HSM3'is a conspiculously peppy musical romp, it's also an extremely corny and incredibly lazy film." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 25, 2008	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	67%
	" I'm as up for a mindless bullet buffet as the next guy, but 'Max Payne' takes the action genre to a new, thematically-hollow realm of badness." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 25, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
	" 'Saw V' emerges as merely a passable horror movie, freaky enough to get by but a far cry from the jaw-dropping start of the series." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 24, 2008	Saw V (2008)	15%
	" This pseudo-hypothetical look at what drove the actions of the man currently sitting in the Oval Office is just crazy enough to work." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 18, 2008	W. (2008)	58%
	" Aside from a cool angle showing how the ghosts see the world, absolutely nothing inventive is done with the story here." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 17, 2008	Pulse 2: Afterlife (2008)	n/a
	" Most of 'Nick & Norah' seems fairly forced, not to mention a bit on the phony side." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 17, 2008	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	72%
	" 'The Express' boasts impressive results on the technical side of filmmaking while abandoning the heart and soul that would've tied it all together." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 15, 2008	The Express (2008)	62%
	" The purpose of 'Fireproof' seems quite honorable, but the film's hamfisted execution takes an emotional story and turns it into a preachy train wreck." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 13, 2008	Fireproof (2008)	39%
	" For many viewers, 'Quarantine' is more likely to stir up a nasty headache instead of any feelings of fear or dread." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 12, 2008	Quarantine (2008)	59%
	" Sharply-written and nimbly-acted, 'How to Lose Friends'is the perfect film for anyone who's come close to hulking out at the mere mention of TMZ." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 6, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	38%
	" So weighed down by convention that anything snarky emerging from the predictable plot is swiftly crushed under the steel-toed boot of conformity." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 3, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
	" For all its wild and unbelievable traits, 'Eagle Eye' gets the job done, ending one of the driest movie months ever with a bang." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 27, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
	" Dane Cook films are starting to become as reliably awful as Uwe Boll movies. Sadly, this lame and unremarkable comedy is no exception." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 24, 2008	My Best Friend's Girl (2008)	16%
	" 'Playtime' is a very smart and well-executed film, one of those rare stories that makes you think and chuckle at the same time." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 21, 2008	Playtime (1967)	100%
	" 'Igor' is a decent enough movie that tries to please everyone but ends up pleasing no one." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 19, 2008	Igor (2008)	34%
	" 'Young at Heart' is the real deal, a picture that puts a smile on your face and generates a warm, fuzzy feeling with almost effortless ease." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 19, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
	" An exhaustingly mediocre remake that suffers from a nasty case of dullness and inactivity." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 18, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	9%
	" It's too family-friendly and ends up being bland and flavorless instead of sending even the mildest shiver down your spine." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 11, 2008	Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour (2007)	0%
	" 'Chapter 27'spends more time teasing its viewers than enthralling them with the inner workings of a cold-blooded killer." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 8, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
	" There's an aura of phoniness surrounding this film, one that overwhelms whatever talents the young stars actually possess." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 5, 2008	Camp Rock (2008)	n/a
	" 'Babylon A.D.' is too vague for its own good and too conflicted concerning what it wants to be." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 3, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
	" 'Death Race' relishes its status as a dyed-in-the-wool popcorn flick, never pretending to do more than show its viewers a bloody good time." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 2, 2008	Death Race (2008)	42%
	" Although the compelling 'Classe Tous Risques' is peppered with occasional gunplay, its words are louder than its bullets." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Aug 31, 2008	Classe Tous Risques (1960)	100%
	" Akira Kurosawa does a great job of taking a simple story and weaving it into a most absorbing human tragedy." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Aug 30, 2008	The Bad Sleep Well (1960)	100%
	" 'Army of Shadows' boasts many moments of quiet intensity, where the lack of action is crisp and engaging, truly coaxing viewers onto the edge of their seats." -- ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Aug 30, 2008	Army of Shadows (1969)	97%
