There's bad, and then there's 2008 level bad. You know this list is looking down into a deep dark bottomless pit of cinematic despair when Mike Myers' shameful Love Guru didn't even make the Top 20! PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2008  Film DVD ReviewMamma Mia!by Barbara Herman[12.Jan.09] :. The kind of movie whose campiness you just have to give into if you want to enjoy it -- and then you'll have a blast.  Short Ends and LeaderMamma Mia!: 2-Disc Special Editionby Bill Gibron[14.Dec.08] :. Sometimes, the cinema can be a lot like oil and water. Certain facets of a film can struggle to stay together, eventually separating like the fabled proverbial liquids. While it’s possible to...  Film ReviewMamma Mia!by Cynthia Fuchs[18.Jul.08] :. Meryl Streep scampers and writhes with something like abandon in her tomboyish overalls, her glowing tan and perfectly arranged "wild" blond hair indicating Donna's stanch independence.

Amanda Seyfried (pronounced SIGH-frid) says that her big eyes make her look a bit like a frog. But the Amanda sitting across a small table last month in a suite at New York’s Ritz-Carlton... ‘Mamma’ Mangledby Bill Gibron[17.Jul.08] :. When it arrives in theaters tomorrow (18 July), Mamma Mia! will probably go down as one of the biggest hits of Summer 2008. It has all the elements that make for a bold box office champion -... When Did You Last See Your Father?by Cynthia Fuchs[6.Jun.08] :. Even as it explores familiar deceits and self-delusions, When Did You Last See Your Father? feels, in the end, as if it's entangled in them. Then She Found Meby Cynthia Fuchs[8.May.08] :. As cute and inoffensive and eventually uplifting as Then She Found Me may be, it is also a formulaic exercise. Fast chat with ‘Then She Found Me’ star Colin Firthby Gene Seymour [Newsday (MCT)][1.May.08] :. Thirteen years have passed since Colin Firth became, as Jane Austen might put it, “universally acknowledged” as the definitive Mr. Darcy in the lionized BBC TV miniseries of... The Return of the Popcorn Circus: August 2008by Bill Gibron[1.May.08] :. Talk about a crowded schedule. There are more offerings scheduled this month than in the previous two combined. The Return of the Popcorn Circus: July 2008by Bill Gibron[30.Apr.08] :. And it just doesn't stop. If part two in this three-ring play was packed with well hyped product, July just keeps the receipt treats coming. The Last Legionby Cynthia Fuchs[20.Aug.07] :. The leaps of faith in The Last Legion are many, but once you've made one or two, Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai seems as likely a super-lethal fighter as Mr. Darcy. Apartment Zero (1988)by Brian Holcomb[8.Mar.07] :. Roman Polanski’s shadow looms large, here. His signature themes of alienation, paranoia, and identity are built into the plot and the tone is his specialty: part thriller, part jet black comedy.

This, the title hints, is Where the Truth Lies. Except it isn't. Where the Truth Lies (2005)by Michael Buening[14.Oct.05] :. In a mystery titled Where the Truth Lies, solving the case is not going to be easy. Bridget Jones’s Diary: Collector’s Edition (2001)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Nov.04] :. Speaking of her star, Renée Zellweger, Maguire is appropriately besotted: 'You can see what she brought to Bridget. She's got this fantastic warmth and this permanent confusion on her face.'" Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Nov.04] :. This time the bloom is quite off. Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)by Michael Healey[8.Jan.04] :. Nothing drains the life from great art like a well-intentioned attempt to explain away its mysteries. Love Actually (2003)by Mary Colgan[13.Nov.03] :. On occasion, the film allows a jaded sensibility to worm its way into this otherwise picturesque world. What a Girl Wants (2003)by Robert Rue[11.Apr.03] :. Daphne is cooler, thinner, and just plain hotter than her secretly envious rivals. Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)by Renee Scolaro RathkeWe stop short of congratulating Bridget Jones with a hearty 'you've come a long way, baby.'
