Endorsed
1. Live Free or Die Hard
    One of my favorite action movies ever. Flawed, yes. But so actiony.
2. Knocked Up
    Proves that movies don't need to be believable in order to be enjoyable. Great
3. Alpha Dog
    Timberlake is so stunningly charismatic onscreen I actually forget his boy-band roots.
4. Zodiac
    A weak performance by Gyllenhaal sullied what was otherwise a truly great film.
5. Breach
    A plodding movie that somehow seemed to work despite itself.

Suggested
6. Disturbia
    Competent performances from the teen actors made this film surprisingly likable.
7. Music & Lyrics
    Embarrasingly, one of my favorite chick flicks in recent memory.
8. Fracture
    Better than it should have been. Gosling is so unexpectdly charming.
9. Shooter
    I like watching things blow up. What can I say?
10. Blades of Glory
    How can the same one note continue to work so well for Will Ferell? It just does.
11. Because I Said So
    Mandy Moore is so charming I couldn't even hate this piece of formulaic crap.

Tolerated
12. The Hoax
    Not nearly as good as I wanted it to be, but still enjoybale.
13. The Invisible
    Suffers, I think, because of Brick's success, but not all bad.
14. Ratatouille
    I just don't understand animation. Sure, it was ok. But it was a cartoon.

Scorned
15. Spider-Man 3
    A huge disappointment, but not entirely a suck-fest.
16. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    A step up from the last film, to be sure, but still a miss.
17. Smokin' Aces
    An absolute bloodbath. Jason Bateman is hysterical in his little throwaway role.
18. Reign Over Me
    This movie just didn't work for me. I saw what it wanted to be, but I couldn't connect.
19. Mr. Brooks
    Kind of shoddy all around. Demi Moore looks great, though.
20. Black Snake Moan
    I didn't like the way this movie was edited, and that kept me at its arm's length.

Reviled
21. Premonition
    Plot holes and continuity errors made this thriller far less-than-thrilling.
22. Bridge to Terabithia
    Far less magical than I wanted it to be. Almost joyless, even when it wasn't supposed to be.
