It’s that time of year again.  What are the best and worst films of 2008? The Pop Syndicate film critics take a moment to list their favorite and least favorite films of the year.  What were you favorites? 

Wes Singleton

Best of 2008

The Dark Knight - Dark, powerful and sublime on nearly every level, Christopher Nolan’s epic drama happened to feature a superhero in a cape. And yes, Heath Ledger delivered the year’s most mesmerizing (yet bittersweet) performance as The Joker.

The Visitor - A spring sleeper hit, this drama pushed the button on some relevant immigration issues. It also featured a remarkable, low-key performance from character actor Richard Jenkins, who deserves many awards for that final, searing scene alone.

Milk - As activist Harvey Milk, Sean Penn delivered one of 2008’s most compelling, subtle performances in one of the year’s most compelling films.

Slumdog Millionaire - Danny Boyle’s drama had a no-name cast, downbeat plot and small budget. But this poignant, moving story about an young man whose life flashes before him as he competes on India’s version of “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” was stellar and memorable in every aspect.

Rachel Getting Married - This small film had a powerful, revealing performance from Anne Hathaway as a troubled young girl getting out of rehab. Her scene with her mother (the equally excellent Debra Winger) was truly unforgettable and the extended rehearsal dinner scene was a movie by itself.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - More than just a movie, but a concept, with a story that will draw you in and not let go, even after you leave the theatre. It also helped that both Brad Pitt and especially Cate Blanchett delivered superb performances.

WALL-E - Pixar continued to get better with not only astonishing CG animation, but a wholly original and poignant story of a robot in a futuristic world. Even more amazing was the fact that the first 30 minutes of the film features minimal dialogue.

Wanted - This was by far the coolest movie of the year, with some nifty special effects, a super hot Angelina Jolie and an over-the-top plot.

Young At Heart - Yes they can! This documentary about an senior citizens choir who sings rock tunes is the most touching, heartwarming and funny film of 2008. A must-see.

Revolutionary Road - True, this movie about suburban life in the 1950’s was tragic and depressing. But it showcased the talents of two of today’s best actors, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, who gave sublime performances and shared as good chemistry as they did 11 years ago in “Titanic.”

Wes’s Worst Films of 2008

Meet Dave & The Love Guru - These two comedies went down in flames and brought down two talented comedians in Eddie Murphy & Mike Myers. Murphy’s alien comedy was just unfunny, while Myers’ take on Deepak Chopra was excruciatingly bad and offensive, not to mention it co-starred Jessica Alba.

Cloverfield - This supposed monster film was the first box-office hit of 2008, but the exceedingly jumpy camera movements, boring drama and the lack of presence of the monster made this the most annoying film of 2008.

You Don’t Mess With the Zohan - For one, this starred Adam Sandler. As if that wasn’t enough, try having him shag a whole bunch of old women in a silly Israeli accent. Yeah, not so much.

88 Minutes - When Al Pacino’s hair gets more notice than his acting, there’s a problem. But then this inane, contrived thriller was one big problem and even messier than Pacino’s hair.

Speed Racer - This remake of the 1970s cartoon by the Wachowski brothers had some nice visuals and a good cast but otherwise crashed and burned with a boring, overlong and ridiculous story - even for something based on a cartoon.

Ken Lowery

THE TEN BEST MOVIES OF 2008, in alphabetical order…

Bigger, Stronger, Faster—A surprisingly engaging documentary about the world of steroids abuse, as conducted by Chris Bell, one of three brothers who habitually uses ‘roids to compete in weight-lifting and body building competitions. What’s so interesting about Bell’s unpretentious approach is his unwillingness to condemn steroids and steroid culture; Bell is far more interested in looking at the culture that practically demands such gratuitous self-abuse while demonizing it at every turn.

The Dark Knight—My standing line about the upcoming Watchmen movie is that The Dark Knight may very well render its revelations and themes redundant. The Dark Knight explores the full depth and breadth of the vigilante concept, and its fearlessness to see just how very exceptional—and dangerous—it is for anyone to pursue justice while operating outside the bounds of law is. Christopher and Jonathan Nolan tell a complex, multi-layered story with deceptive ease, and the four powerhouse performances don’t hurt, either.

Doomsday—The first thing you need to know is that Doomsday is a send-up and homage of John Carpenter movies, most specifically his Escape films. It doesn’t end there, though; writer/director Neil Marshall mashes up tropes and conventions of everything from fantasy epics to Bruckheimer car chases to bring us a movie that’s quite clearly insane, but also a hell of a lot of fun.

In Bruges—A February release, which often means a studio doesn’t know what to do with the thing. (See also: Doomsday.) And I suppose I can see why. In Bruges starts off as something like a very British dark comedy, with hitmen played by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson waiting in the Purgatory of Bruges (it’s in Belgium) while their boss (Ralph Fiennes) decides their fate. It’s a sneaky movie: You start off laughing at and with these guys, then end up crying for them. Curiously powerful.

Man On Wire—This part-documentary, part-dramatization is like a 90-minute demonstration of that famous mountain climbing answer, “Because it was there.” Way back in 1974, tightrope walker Philippe Petit enacted what amounts to a heist to get into and on top of the World Trade Center in New York City, to string a rope between the two towers and walk across them… for 8 minutes. Petit is a larger-than-life character, and watching him do what he does… you almost want to do it yourself.

Speed Racer—The Wachowskis often leave me lukewarm at best, but this one I fell in love with, unabashedly. It’s fitting that they were the ones to lash cutting-edge special effects technology to their story, effectively sculpting a story from them. The movie’s a bit like live-action animation in that you’re seeing things that are clearly not possible, but their seamless blend of the real and the fantastic makes it all seem quite real, and quite possible. I never expected such a gutsy move from these filmmakers.

Slumdog Millionaire—It’s rare I walk into a screening knowing nothing about the movie, but this is one of them. In that way, every new flashback and flash forward was something unexpected—very rarely did I know where Slumdog was going, and the experience was all the better for it. It is a love story at heart, but it is so much more than that, too. It is quite possible I teared up (with joy) both times I saw it.

Standard Operating Procedure—There have been many, many documentaries about the Iraq War, but none so powerful as this. Directed by Errol Morris, possibly the finest documentarian alive today, S.O.P. examines with startling intimacy the abuse and torture conducted in Abu Ghraib, and how such a horror could be photographed with such glee by those doing the torturing. Morris, unexpectedly, is not interested in trying the MPs caught in the photos, but rather in the culture that put scared teenagers in a position of power over faceless “enemies” and let them run wild. This one will rip your heart out.

Stuck—Based on a true incident in Ft. Worth, Texas, Stuck is about a young nursing home aide (Mena Suvari) who hit-and-runs a down-on-his-luck drifter (Stephen Rea), with one crucial twist—the man is lodged in her windshield, and he is not dead. Panicked, she stows her car in her garage. Their twin stories—her moral distintegration, his struggle to survive—unfold in parallel, and director Stuart Gordon is sly enough to make you side with both characters, though you (and they) know full well that for one’s life to continue, the other’s must end. A true horror movie.

Wall-E—Pixar may have the most flawless studio record in film history, and Wall-E is quite possibly their best film. Simple yet nuanced, tarnished yet beautiful, critical yet sentimental, there is so very much to love in this movie, most of all its titular protagonist. The stroke of genius is to render so much of the story in purely physical terms; Wall-E and his companion Eve do not speak, so much of their thoughts and emotions are conveyed as they would be in a silent film. It is nice to be reminded from time to time that those old movies still have a lot of power.

THE FIVE WORST MOVIES OF 2008, from most offensive to least…

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed—Note to Premise Media: do not give critics an insult for your movie right there in the title. Both horrifying and instructional in ways it does not intend, Expelled is like every conservative caricature of a Michael Moore documentary taken to its ghastly extreme. It never presents anything like a coherent argument, and often betrays its own rules multiple times to score cheap points. Possibly useful as a spectacle, but more likely to induce nausea in anyone who understands the most basic principles of science. A sick, laugh-free joke, made all the worse because its players do not seem to know it.

Hell Ride—It’s one thing to let someone indulge in their infantile desire to relive the movies of another era; it is quite another to enable them to do so in front of the general audience. Larry Bishop is the writer-director-offender here, wallowing in the conventions of the biker-movie genre like an infant in a mudhole. Bishop confuses posturing for style and cloying “cleverness” for true wit. The result, saturated as it is in needless obscenity and brave new vistas of misogyny, is hard to stomach and infuriating to behold.

Righteous Kill—Not so much terrible as it is simply terribly mediocre, Righteous Kill made much hay out of pairing Robert Deniro and Al Pacino together, then squandered that opportunity. Director Jon Avnet was apparently so smitten with his leads that their phoned-in performances didn’t bother him in the least. Righteous Kill is not terrible, merely joyless and pointless; none of its muddled morality presents anything not done ten times better in a hundred other movies, and the simple question of “why was this made?” can provide no answer. Offensive in its pointless waste.

Eagle Eye—I’m sure that, somewhere in the original pitch meetings, Eagle Eye might have made some kind of sense to someone; maybe as a critique of our technology-obsessed culture, maybe as a (rather broad) critique of the Patriot Act, or what have you. But, no, it’s just a dumb thriller with some seriously disorienting rules: we’re meant to root against Hal 9000 while cheering for the FBI agent whose first appearance has him cheerily telling fall guy Shia LeBouf how innocent civilians have no rights and can be abused at will. Um, yay?

Twilight—I try not to be mean, seeing as Twilight is basically a pro-abstinence supernatural romance for tweener girls, but it really is quite terrible. There is no actual conflict to be found anywhere in this ostensible vampire story, unless you count “being single” as a deviation that must be resolved by close of play. Everyone likes everyone, everyone has special gifts or powers, and the lead vampire’s curse is that when he steps into sunlight, he only gets more beautiful. Twilight is like The Fast and the Furious for teenage girls: a stubborn finger on the pleasure-center trigger, all release and gratification with no real catharsis. Hold suspect anyone over the age of 17 who breathes a single kind word for this movie.

Top Ten Films of 2008

1. Wall-E—Pixar has never made a bad motion picture, never made an unsuccessful film either. Wall-E is the best of both. It is a wonderful bit of cinema that appeals to everyone who loves movies. If only other studios were as perfect as Pixar.

2. Slumdog Millionaire—One of the most powerful experiences to come along in years. It has everything one would want in a motion picture. The screenplay is an amazing feat of threads that draws together to make a perfect tapestry.

3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button—A great epic fantasy, probably the hardest genre to make successful. Even though the film runs almost three hours, it breezes by. Easily Brad Pitt’s best performance.

4. In Bruges—This quirky little import will get lost in the end of the year shuffle which is a shame Director Martin McDonagh crafts a wonderful tale about some very less than wonderful individuals.

5. Tropic Thunder—Easily the best comedy of the year. The entire cast delivers and the cameo by Tom Cruise is almost Oscar worthy. It is funny from frame one.

6. The Dark Knight—Some people think that Iron Man was a better piece of entertainment, but the performance of Heath Ledger gives this film a gravitas that few films of 2008 can match.

7. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day—There is something just charming with this little film. He harks back to a simpler era of film making. Besides who couldn’t just be enamored with Amy Adams here, a woman that everyone is in love with.

8. Frost/Nixon—Taking a conversation between two individuals and turning it into a compelling drama is a very hard task to accomplish. Under the skilled direction of Ron Howard this drama works on a high level.

9. U2 3D—This is easily the best concert film ever made. Bono and The Edge show how turn a Brazilian audience into a heaving mass of adulation. It must be seen on IMAX and in 3D a wonder to behold on such a large screen.

10. The Quantum of Solace—I’m biased because I’ll always put a James Bond film on the list. I think that Daniel Craig is a perfect Bond and while not a perfect movie, it is a winning performance.

Worst:

Twilight—I’d rather have my eyes gouged out than be subjected to this piece of drivel again. It is long and boring and drives a death nail into everything that is good about the vampire film. If you want to see a great vampire flick go catch Let The Right One In—11 on my list and the best foreign flick of 2008.

Speed Racer—hopefully this will end the Hollywood obsession of making TV shows into movies. It usually never works.

The Happening—M. Night is proving over and over again that he is a one trick pony. Every film he has made since The Sixth Sense has gotten worse and worse. I thought he couldn’t do a more terrible job than The Lady in the Water. I was wrong.

88 Minutes—If only it were 88 Minutes. Pacino worst scene chewing in recent memory and what is up the the dead animal on his head?

Smart People—there weren’t any on either side of the camera in this droll bit of cinematic masturbation. It gives one a reason to kill liberal academics and all their unholy spawn.

Top Films of 2008

1. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days – This film will make your body ache—it’s that intense. Worse (or better) yet, you’ll remember it—and exactly how you felt when watching it—for the rest of your life.

2. Ballast – Ballast has the quiet power to turn tragedy to miracle. There are few films that can do that, and fewer can do it so selflessly. This is one of those films.

3. Slumdog Millionaire – The definition of “love” varies pending the interpreter, but Danny Boyle’s vision of such would have you think it’s the real deal. Slumdog Millionaire is a masterpiece with one of the more expansive embraces in cinematic history. Everyone from Los Angeles to Hong Kong will be able to relate its naïve romanticism, and each will revel in every minute of it, guaranteed.

4. The Dark Knight – Arguing is not necessary—The Dark Knight is a masterful film. And if success is measured against expectations, it’s the most successful movie ever made.

5. The Wrestler – The Wrestler is a solitary exhibition of triumph in a failed life. It’s unlike any film of its kind, and it has a strange aura about it that enables its viewers to realize that fact ten minutes in.

6. WALL-E – I’ve convinced myself that this film is second only to Toy Story in the computer-animated films department. It’s the most inspired project to come from Pixar (or any other modern animation studio), and it’s equal in wisdom and spirit. Most importantly, however, it’s a lot of fun.

7. Chop Shop – Chop Shop is one of the most delicate films of 2008. It is also one of the most unforgettable. Ramin Bahrani (the director) tells the film’s harrowing story with an exacting hand, too; Chop Shop is incredibly meticulous.

8. Happy-Go-Lucky – Nowadays, it seems that the most affecting films are the ones that intend to tear up their audience’s emotions. Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky inspires those emotions. And it may be more affecting as a result.

9. Doubt – Doubt isn’t the fullest motion picture of the year (or even of December), but it embodies one of the strongest, most brilliantly acted 100 minutes in a decade. It’s a gift to watch.

10. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Benjamin Button is just epic—in scale and accomplishment. It is as wise and weathered as its aging characters grow to be, and it is a benchmark film for visual effects.

Worst Films of 2008

To preface this brief list, I’d like to say that I made a great effort to avoid movies I felt or knew would be awful. That said, there were a couple that dramatically undershot my expectations (4 and 5), and there were an equal number that I was dragged to (1, 2, and 3).

1. Nights in Rodanthe – Nights in Rodanthe is the epitome of a treacherous film—it’s incomprehensible, messy, laughably acted, and more pretentious than a New England Patriots quarterback whose initials read T.B.

2. You Don’t Mess with the Zohan – Zohan doesn’t strive to be a respectable film (an admirable quality), but it’s so unrespectable that its intentions don’t matter. And it drags on F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

3. Strange Wilderness – It’s not that I hate this film, rather that it offers absolutely nothing to the world of cinema—not even scenes dumb enough to remember for later mocking. Strange Wilderness is just a waste of time.

4. Changeling – My opinion of this movie may be slightly influenced by the disappointment I felt when leaving the theater after watching it, but only slightly. Changeling is unabashedly manipulative—to the point of a crime—and, impossibly, it’s even more shallow and contrived. Don’t mistake that tug on your intelligence for one on your heart.

5. Hancock – Hancock makes its way onto this list for an abundance of reasons—it’s poorly constructed, lazily told, unenthusiastically acted, and extremely cliché—but it could have made it on its twist alone, which is one of the most gigantic missteps in summer blockbuster history.

Susan Kandell

Best of 2008

This was a year full of anticipation & expectation. Unfortunately for avid moviegoers, bigger & more bloated budgets did not make for better movies. And many of the films on my list were “indies.”  The top 3 really stood out in my mind. If I’ve written a review that appears on PopSyndicate, the link follows the blurb.

1.    Slumdog Millionaire - Everything you can want in a flick backed up by solid storytelling. You go, Danny Boy(le)!

2.    The Visitor - A quiet gem of a film. Apparently, you can make a film without gunfire. I didn’t want it to end.

3.    In Bruges - A little more commercial then my top 2, but a terrific combination of characters, drama and comedy spiced with a hefty dollop of violence and words that might even make Howard Stern blush. Remember the guns absent from my #2 pick? They’re here!

4.    The Band’s Visit - This film was written by Eran Kolirin, an Israeli known best in this country for writing some episodes of HBO’s popular program In Treatment. A bittersweet movie with no mention of war. The music is one of the stars - a scene involving the singing of Summertime from Porgy and Bess will have you smiling and crying at the same time.

5.    Doubt - A difficult story told with grace and flashes of humor. Terrific performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman & Meryl Streep (natch on both counts) and Viola Davis’ tears will tear you apart. 

6.    Choke -  I’ve had my eye on Sam Rockwell since Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. He’s such a physical actor - words alone don’t cut it. He literally throws himself into his roles. Choke had the right blend of tragedy and comedy and dead-on performances. I liked it - too bad it didn’t get more exposure.

7.    Milk - The Milkman delivered! Dynamic biopic & very timely. Academy-level performance by Penn.

8.    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - A splendid epic!

9.    The Wrestler -  Mickey Rourke’s comeback vehicle. Intense, gritty and you’ll spend nearly 109 minutes saying - “Is that really Mickey Rourke?”

10.  Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Pineapple Express and any other movie starring Seth Rogen. He makes me laugh. Alot. And he was in Step Brothers too.

My Next Ten (or 11) -  (sometimes referred to as) Special Mention - no particular order

Gran Torino -  Welcome back Dirty Harry. We missed you.

Sixty-Six - True coming of age story set in England. Funny and poignant. Helena Bonham Carter always delivers a solid performance. Eddie Marsan (see Happy-Go-Lucky) is splendid.

Towelhead - Don’t just warn your kids about strangers, start with next-door neighbors. Solid storytelling and great (creepy) performance by Aaron Eckhart.

21 - Vegas thrills combined with a true story of college kids out to beat the system.

The Bank Job - Great action flick!

Sex in the City - Just like the TV show. If you liked it on the toob, you like 2 hours up on the screen.

Miracle at St. Anna - Spike Lee’s epic war film.

Vantage Point -  A great rental, if you haven’t seen it. Lots of action told from different points of view.

RocknRolla -  Madonna was obviously going to bat while Guy Ritchie was making a fast-paced mobster flick.

Before the Rains - History lesson stirred with romance and stunning vistas. Merchant/Ivory had their hand in it - need I say more?

Frost/Nixon - This was conspicuously absent from my top 10 for good reason. It just isn’t that good. But a riveting performance by Frank Langella (and my money is on him over Penn’s Harvey Milk performance for the Academy prize).

THE WORST  (& they were pretty awful). This was almost too easy. But to be fair - I didn’t see 10,000 BC or Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

1.    Righteous Kill - De Niro & Pacino are wasted in this cops-gone-bad action flick. Tedious, boring & pedestrian. I should have walked out in the middle, but I saw it with my dad & he seemed to be enjoying his nap.

2.    Expelled - Shame on you Ben Stein. Using a documentary format under the guise of educating. Call it what it really is - propaganda for the religious right. And equating the Holocaust with Darwinian principles is downright abominable. In it’s defense - the commercial revealing Stein in a short pant school uniform at the principals office which aired on broadcast TV was amusing.

3.    The Happening - Apparently, M. Night Shyamalan has run out of bad guys on which to pin blame. This was one of the years biggest disappointments. I just know he’s capable of so much more. Note to M. - Hey, I’m one of your biggest fans. I actually liked Lady in the Water. Don’t make me say goodnight to you. Take your time on the next one - your fans will wait.

4.    A Christmas Tale - This is one gift you should leave wrapped under the tree. Other then childbirth I haven’t experienced so much pain in 2 and 1/2 hours. We all have our own family crap to deal with - why on earth would I want to watch someone else’s? Even the beautiful Catherine Deneuve couldn’t save it.

5.  Happy-Go-Lucky - Was there anyone out there besides myself who thought this gal was just annoying? Wonderful performance by Eddie Marsan, but everything else was just an irritant.

Close runner-ups -

X-Files: I want to Believe - I was an X-Files fan - not a huge one, but looked forward to the film and was sorely disappointed. I’m just not a believer anymore. 

Blindness - It was painful to watch.

Smart People - Obviously Sarah Jessica Parker and Dennis Quaid weren’t very smart when the agreed to make this movie.

OWN CATEGORIES

Best Concert Film
- Nothing even comes close (even if I had seen more then 1) Runnin’ Down a Dream - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Four hours of nirvana.

Best Film You Never Saw (& should have)

The Fall - In a word - Magnificent. Go out & rent it - now!

Best Documentairies
Here’s where I get a little creative. I needed some space on my Best Films list & this frees up some spots. But they really do belong in a category all by themselves. The Academy apparently agrees with me - even if my editor doesn’t.

1.    Waltz With Bashir - Stunning. A creative masterpiece with an anti-war message to boot! It could have held its own on my top 10 list - but it’s squarely #1 here.

2.    Young @ Heart - It had me dancing in the aisles. Heartwarming and life-affirming. Sporadic inclusion of music videos were a nice touch!

3.    Man on Wire - True story. Unreal footage. And it was good to see the Twin Towers again.

4.    Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts - Love the music. And I loved getting into his head. Love the music. And I loved getting into his head. Repetitive you say? Yes, just like his music. Smooth as, well…..Glass.

Best Film Festival Movie (never released in the US)

Amal - A wonderful tale. If you liked Cinema Paradiso (and who didn’t?) - you’ll love Amal. I screened the film for inclusion in the AFI Dallas FIlm Festival and literally leapt out of my seat during one scene. I cried too. See if you can rent it on Netflix. 

Top 5 Holocaust Movies

Yes - there are so many of them this year, it gets its own category. The question remains - why the spate of Holocaust related movies? I count 9 releases in a six month time period.

1.    The Reader -  Why bother going through the motions this year, making Best Actress award nominations? You know that Kate is going to walk away with it. And she didn’t even have to wear a prosthesis on her schnoze like Nicole or Charlize. Funnily enough, the Golden Globes nominated her for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the secretive Hanna Schmitz. Chilling story. Afterwards, “talk amongst yourselves.”

2.    The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - Like a feature-length Twilight Zone. Good storytelling and a twist that’s not out of Hollywood’s neat little play book. True, some Holocaust scholars find fault with the premise of the story (2 boys who talk to each other from different sides of a fence). And I see their point. But it is labeled as fiction and will get the discussion juices flowing.

3.    Valkyrie - Mission Impossible, Nazi style. Decent acting by Cruise and an all war and nothing but war film. No messy love story to derail the action.

4.    Defiance - Like Valkyrie, it’s based on a true story - only this time they left the love story intact.

5.    A Secret - French film that whispers its message. Autobiographical. The beauty of this brutal story is the layering of surprises.

Best Woody Allen Film

Woody always gets his own category. He’s in a class by himself.

1.    Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Ok, so it was his only one. But it was a dandy!
