While I am still awaiting a few movies from 2008 to arrive in Tallahasse cinema's (Revolutionary Road, Frost/Nixon, and The Wrestler ), I'm using a "4 at a time" Netflix account to catch up on all the other 2008 titles that I had an interest in, but never got around to seeing. I've updated the sidebar with some more ratings, and I think that it offers a pretty darn comprehensive list of ratings for 2008.
Any suggestions for films you saw in 2008 that I haven't seen yet?

21 (B-): Its a overall enjoyable movie with a nice little ending. It isn't too deep, nor does it explore it's great premise to the fullest extent, but its a good night at the movies, pretty harmless stuff.
27 Dresses (C-): Katherine Heigl's amiable performance makes the film watchable, but the formulas and cliche's are inescapably boring.
American Teen (C): Although its entertaining to watch this documentary on a Senior Year in high school, this film does little to give insight into its four main subjects beyond the typical stereotypes.
Doomsday (B-): A throwback film to those 80s apocolyptic films like The Road Warrior, this is an uneven action film, but contains some great direction and a couple standout action sequences.
The Fist Foot Way (C-): Danni McBride's full length feature is an indulgent and vulgar comedy.
Gran Torino (B): A solid film from Clint Eastwood, but a small work.
Death Race (B-): Mindless action film that succeeds because it gets the racing scenes right.
The Ruins (C): An overrated horror film that gets a couple things right, but not much else.
