The Reader - very good, but not great. Both actors were wonderful, but there were problems with the script and dialogue that they could not get around. I've since read the book, which is much better; I cannot understand why they changed the elements that they did for the film.
The Visitor - very good. A story about kindred friendships, hope, and tragedy in this new world order of Homeland Security.
Pride and Glory - would probably have made my worst of 2008 list if I'd seen it earlier. I haven't heard such flagrant use of the f-word since Joe Pesci in Casino.
Passchendaele - while the battle scenes were very well done (especially for a Canadian film which likely had a limited budget), again the contrived romance and sappy story diminished the films overall effect. The blatant historical inaccuracies in the dialogue were also disturbing. However, the chance to look at Paul Gross for two hours was okay :-) and the film score was very well done.
Rocknrolla - a characteristic Guy Ritchie film, not as good as Lock, Stock.

The internet must be broken since I did not see a review of the "Sex and the City" movie. A classic for sure, right up there with "Blue Hawaii" I'm sure it's an error that your highest praise does not appear online. Otherwise... nice work, girls!
