Poll: What deadly sin does the new iPhone most provoke in you?



REVIEW
The Dark Knight4 Stars
While perhaps a bit too ambitious, The Dark Knight demonstrates great balance between story and spectacle—and touts an all-time classic villain performance.

REVIEW
Space Chimps1.5 Stars

Review by Peter T. Chattaway

REVIEW
Mamma Mia!2 Stars
The music of ABBA successfully translates to a musical about a girl trying to determine the identity of her father on her wedding day, but the film version is too campy in tone, too sloppy in execution, and too mixed in its messages.
Review by Russ Breimeier
