[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       D      The Collector (2009)      "There's some torture, a lot of blood, some deaths, the usual routine, but without any suspense or ingenuity." [movie review]      Film.com       C+      Aliens in the Attic (2009)      "Small pleasures aside, the movie doesn't offer anything particularly memorable or inventive." [movie review]      Cinematical       B      Tetro (2009)      "Coppola has made something personal and intimate that, while not brilliant, sticks to the grand, operatic themes that made him famous." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Funny People (2009)      "Hilarious when it tries to be, serious otherwise, but never maudlin or weepy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adam (2009)      "It's actually a humorously bittersweet story buoyed by likable performances, and not an oh-geez-here-comes-another-film-about-a-saintly-disabled-person movie." [movie review]      Cinematical       D      The Ugly Truth (2009)      "Formulaic, stupid, and unfunny in all the usual ways. Is there no more ingenuity in Hollywood? Can no one think of new ways for movies to be irritating and pointless?" [movie review]      Film.com       D      Orphan (2009)      "This is galling, distasteful trash. I hope the children involved in making it are never permitted to watch it." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      G-Force (2009)      "A harmless and good-natured family flick that unfortunately relies so much on its central conceit that it forgets to do anything else." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      Winnebago Man (2009)      "A hilarious and surprisingly touching profile of a fascinating character." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "It's as close to perfect a romantic comedy as I've ever seen." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "A richly entertaining adventure that adds more details to the mythology and at the same time tells a ripping good story." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       F      I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)      "Wants to emulate a John Hughes film, in much the same way that a crack whore wearing a dime-store tiara wants to emulate Queen Elizabeth." [movie review]      Film.com       B      Bruno (2009)      "Funny, yes. Astute in its satire, not as much." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      The Hurt Locker (2009)      "As tense and compelling an action drama as you're liable to see all year." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      Il Divo (2009)      "Even with no knowledge of Italian government, you can enjoy this hip, un-stodgy, grimly entertaining dissection of it." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)      "Serves its target audience well enough and offers a series of pleasant smiles, if not a lot of gut-busting laughs." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Public Enemies (2009)      "An impeccably produced crime drama that doesn't trade intelligence for excitement and offers plenty of both." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adoration (2009)      "Another well-wrought and intriguing drama by Egoyan." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adoration (2009)      "Another well-wrought and intriguing drama by Egoyan." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Whatever Works (2009)      "Larry David's caustic, neurotic misanthropy fits with Allen's own nebbishy pessimism like onions fit in a knish." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      My Sister's Keeper (2009)      "Once the bizarre premise is established, all the movie can do is wait for the story to play out -- it has a beginning and end, but no middle." [movie review]      Film.com       D      Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "While the loudness is periodically entertaining, it just becomes white noise after a while." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Easy Virtue (2009)      "If Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas firing snarky bon mots at people for 90 minutes doesn't sound entertaining, I don't know what to tell you." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      Year One (2009)      "If you can't take this premise and these actors and come up with anything funnier than Jack Black eating poop, then you have no business making comedies." [movie review]      Film.com       C-      The Proposal (2009)      "Given the plot summary, you have to admit that anything better than 'I took my own life halfway through the screening' is impressive." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Away We Go (2009)      "Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski are so down-to-earth they seem like two of your closest friends." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)      "Not a bad way to pass a couple hours, as long as you don't sit too close to the screen and are inured to a steady barrage of loud dialogue that doesn't bother to be clever." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)      "It has little to say about humanity in general, or even Valentino specifically, but it is fun and glitzy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The Hangover (2009)      "As gleefully dirty as Old School, and maybe funnier." [movie review]      Cinematical       B      Land of the Lost (2009)      "A wildly bizarre and frequently hilarious adventure that appears to be whacked-out by design, not out of sloppiness." [movie review]      Film.com       B      Moon (2009)      "Should be enthusiastically greeted by serious sci-fi devotees, because it's a smart story that doesn't spell everything out but isn't maddeningly ambiguous, either." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      The Girlfriend Experience (2009)      "The conversations it provokes will probably be more enjoyable than the ones it depicts." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Drag Me To Hell (2009)      "It's outrageously dark and twisted in the most delightful ways, a frenetic funhouse of terrors that causes almost as much laughter as pants-wetting." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Up (2009)      "It's breezy, clever, hilarious, and entertaining -- all par for the course at Pixar -- and has the depth and intelligence that separate Pixar from every other animation factory." [movie review]      Film.com       B-      Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)      "You know how it goes: the plot is inane, but a lot of the dialogue makes you laugh." [movie review]      Cinematical       F      Dance Flick (2009)      "So to all the world's 8th-graders I say this: Don't give up hope! Keep making the same jokes you're making now, and you may one day be a filmmaker, too!" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      Terminator Salvation (2009)      "Suffers from pedestrian dialogue and a surfeit of bad plot devices ranging from the merely too-convenient to the laugh-out-loud preposterous." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      Angels & Demons (2009)      "I get that saving the world from disaster is important business. But is it too much to ask for it to be fun for the audience?" [movie review]      Cinematical
