Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       C-      The Fourth Kind (2009)      "When so many films are bad in lazy and ordinary ways, it's refreshing to occasionally see one that fails interestingly." [movie review]      Film.com       B      The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)      "It has a quick pace and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, though you might wish it had tried to do something a little more substantial." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)      "Charles Dickens' lifelong wish to have his story retold as a three-dimensional cartoon has finally been realized. At last his soul may be at peace." [movie review]      Cinematical       C+      Antichrist (2009)      "Imagine a Saw film with a slower pace and more pretentious ambitions." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      An Education (2009)      "Resides in that magical place where movies are breezy, funny, and smart but also realistic and thoughtful." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009)      "Compelling and artistic, punctuated with warm humor and masterful performances, and ultimately triumphant and hopeful." [movie review]      Cinematical       A-      Black Dynamite (2009)      "This is one of the cleverest, most consistently funny spoof movies since Airplane!" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      The House of the Devil (2009)      "You have to wait for The House of the Devil to deliver on its promises -- but when it does, holy crap." [movie review]      Cinematical       C      Saw VI (2009)      "While the social commentary is as shallow as ever, the film's overall quality is better than the last two installments. That isn't saying much, but it's something." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Astro Boy (2009)      "The fun and merriment take a backseat to the sci-fi elements, which are probably not what the intended audience is looking for." [movie review]      Film.com       D+      Amelia (2009)      "In the running for the dullest, most lifeless biopic of the decade." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)      "Almost relentlessly energetic and loony, bursting with random sight gags and subtle, whip-smart comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)      "Keeps the tone just dark enough to be effective without being too scary, and always funny but not cartoonish." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      The Stepfather (2009)      "Riddled with implausible situations, including many instances of Creepy Stepdad appearing suddenly in doorways and mirrors, and zero instances of genuine suspense or style." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Where the Wild Things Are (2009)      "The film is lacking as a whole -- it's individual moments and scenes that make it worth seeing." [movie review]      Film.com       D+      Law Abiding Citizen (2009)      "A pointless exercise in phony social commentary that has no idea what its real message is." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Paranormal Activity (2009)      "A low-budget horror flick that uses its do-it-yourself aesthetic to great advantage in scaring the pee out of viewers." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Couples Retreat (2009)      "The cast's enthusiasm goes a long way toward keeping the whole mediocre affair from becoming completely intolerable." [movie review]      Film.com       A      A Serious Man (2009)      "It's all about the uncertainty of life, yet the film itself is very certain, carefully crafted, impeccably written and acted." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      The Invention of Lying (2009)      "Its strange concept and storyline make it something of a curiosity, too: you can have fun thinking about it even after it's over." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      Zombieland (2009)      "It deserves to become a midnight-movie cult classic. If it doesn't, that means the zombies win." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Whip It (2009)      "Funny, agreeable, and lightly entertaining." [movie review]      Film.com       A-      World's Greatest Dad (2009)      "For fans of perversely dark comedy, World's Greatest Dad is a treasure trove of morbid sarcasm and gleeful malevolence." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)      "Has only a few traces of Moore's wit and humor, and they're nearly lost in the fog of his indignation." [movie review]      Film.com       B+      Surrogates (2009)      "One of the year's more entertaining sci-fi films." [movie review]      Film.com       C-      Fame (2009)      "Tries to do so much in so little time that no characters or storylines get the attention they would need to succeed." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Jennifer's Body (2009)      "What felt fresh and original two years ago, in Juno, has lost its luster now." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      The Informant! (2009)      "It's a jaunty, goofy trip for the audience, a smart comedy about a dumb guy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Love Happens (2009)      "Oh, Love Happens, does it? Thanks, movie. Thanks for the evocative and powerful title. Way to show some effort." [movie review]      Film.com       B+      Best Worst Movie (2009)      "A riotously funny look back at the behind-the-scenes madness of "Troll 2," and at the unlikely success it has had in recent years." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself (2009)      "Not a very good movie, but it has some sincerely positive ideas, and those ideas almost make up for the fact that it's not a very good movie." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Whiteout (2009)      "The film's been sitting on the shelf for 2 1/2 years; maybe it went bad?" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Extract (2009)      "A perfectly good comedy with a lot of laughs and several fine characters." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      The Final Destination (2009)      "You might just as well stay home and watch one of the other three, where at least there will be some devilish wit and ironic humor in evidence." [movie review]      Cinematical       F      All About Steve (2009)      "My biggest surprise is scanning the credits and not seeing the name Wayans or Prinze Jr. anywhere." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Taking Woodstock (2009)      "Demitri Martin and the movie are perfect for each other, both of them agreeable and inoffensive, likable and sort of funny but not very substantive." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Thirst (2009)      "Though brimming with crisp, stylish coolness and some unsettling images, it doesn't have much of an emotional center." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      Post Grad (2009)      "If Post Grad were a job applicant, it would not be hired. In all likelihood, it would have gotten lost between the elevator and the office, then sat on the floor and dribbled until someone called security." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com       B-      Shorts (2009)      "Rodriguez rebounds to make something energetic, creative, and sunny, finally harnessing his imagination the way he did in the original Spy Kids." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Inglourious Basterds (2009)      "The story is wildly, daringly imaginative, the sort of thing that very few filmmakers could even conceive, let alone execute." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Art & Copy (2009)      "It's entertaining as far as it goes, a highly watchable portrait of one of America's most distinctive communication tools." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Bandslam (2009)      "A spry teen melodrama whose refusal to pander to its audience is refreshing." [movie review]      Cinematical       B      Ponyo (2009)      "More than enough joy and laughter to outweigh its less-than-inspired moments." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)      "Succinctly establishes the world it takes place in, then lets us experience, to some extent, the feelings and emotions that would naturally occur in such a world." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      District 9 (2009)      "Even with a second half that's significantly less compelling than the first, it earns points for its seamless special effects and its subtle but pointed sense of humor." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      In the Loop (2009)      "The sharpest, funniest political satire in years." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Grace (2009)      "Solet proves himself adept both as a visual storyteller and as a guy who can make you crap your pants." [movie review]      Cinematical       C      G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)      "At its best it's kind of fun, at its worst only kind of stupid." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Julie & Julia (2009)      "A breezy and thoroughly delightful comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      A Perfect Getaway (2009)      "A shrewd thriller that's both smarter and funnier than you'd expect." [movie review]      Film.com
