'Let Them Chirp Awhile'

MOVIE REVIEW: The characters in 'Let Them Chirp Awhile' find their own lives more interesting than any audience would.

'Good'

MOVIE REVIEW: 'Good' shows how a weak man succumbs, yet falters in its own attempt at greatness.

'Defiance'

MOVIE REVIEW: A great story fight its way through thickets of Hollywood banter and sentimentality.

'Revolutionary Road'

MOVIE REVIEW: Strong performances steer this 1950s marital drama out of a period-picture trap.

'Ciao'

MOVIE REVIEW: Two men connect through a shared loss.

'Marley & Me'

MOVIE REVIEW: A sweet, occasionally sticky romp with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.

'Last Chance Harvey'

MOVIE REVIEW: Dustin Hoffman's and Emma Thompson's characters find that it's never too late for love.

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'

MOVIE REVIEW: Instead of a beating heart, this project has ice water in its veins. Star power can't counterbalance the scattershot plot and showy special effects. And it's way too long.

'Waltz With Bashir'

MOVIE REVIEW: Israel's controversial Lebanese incursion and its effects on veterans inspire Ari Folman's animated documentary 'Waltz With Bashir.'

'Valkyrie'

MOVIE REVIEW: Forget the Internet hysteria. This Tom Cruise vehicle is a perfectly acceptable motion picture. Unfortunately, history impinges on its drama.

'The Spirit'

MOVIE REVIEW: Frank Miller's reimagining of the classic Will Eisner comic book series is, alas, too Bat-ty.

With 'Bedtime Stories,' Adam Sandler delivers some good, clean fun

MOVIE REVIEW: Imaginative tales send Sandler on surreal adventures that improve his life in this family comedy.

Top 10 of 2008

MOVIES: From 'Wall-E' to a bleak look at Italy's organized crime, the best of the year examine the spectrum of the human condition.

'The Wrestler'

MOVIE REVIEW: Mickey Rourke's performance is genuine, but the plot's machinations seem more contrived than pro wrestling itself.

'The Yellow Handkerchief'

MOVIE REVIEW: Strong performances and nimble direction combine to make this sensitive road film a trip worth taking.

'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' (A Match Made by God)

MOVIE REVIEW

'$9.99' is less than the sum of its parts

MOVIE REVIEW CAPSULES: Also reviewed: 'Dragon Hunters,' 'Hania,' 'Were the World Mine,' more

'Che'

MOVIE REVIEW: Benicio Del Toro is excellent as the revolutionary in Steven Soderbergh's atypical biopic.

'Doubt'

MOVIE REVIEW: Suspicions flare as religion meets the real world in the film version starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams.

'Gran Torino'

MOVIE REVIEW: Clint Eastwood, at 78, shows he's still a formidable action figure.

'The Day the Earth Stood Still'

MOVIE REVIEW: Keanu Reeves, with his great stone face, lands on Earth in the enjoyable remake. This time, the film's chief concern is the environment, not nuclear weapons.
