Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       7/10      Passing Strange (2010)      "Although more of a stage play than a film this performance has great acting and great music combined with a heart felt message." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Adam (2009)      "A good, if contrived, romantic comedy that exposes the world to Asberger's syndrome while drawing a line between love and dependence." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       9/10      American Casino (2009)      "The best look to date at the rotten US housing mortgage system that developed over the last ten years. Clear enough to make you cry." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      An Education (2009)      "A fun production with a great soundtrack and scrumptious English scenery but the decisions are ultimately too dim to believe." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Antichrist (2009)      "A blood soaked horror fest with surrealistic overtones in the stripped down von Trier style. Overly disturbing but still a must see for fans of von Trier, Dafoe or Gainsbourg." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      Art & Copy (2009)      "As the glossiest of colored glossies this film delivers a message than creativity is still alive in America. But the main reward seems to be corporate bottom lines." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Away We Go (2009)      "The best part of this road movie is the emotional trip the two protagonists take in learning they are OK." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      The Beaches of Agnes (2009)      "Agnes Varda shows us what modern film making is all about in a whimsical look at a cinematic genius." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      Beeswax (2009)      "Precious in its realism this film is so plain is threatens to slip off the screen. Kudos for the honesty but the entertainment is lacking." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       6/10      The Big Shot-Caller (2009)      "A methodical and thoughtful film that provides food for thought but will be too slow for most audiences." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Black Dynamite (2009)      "Black Dynamite is back and The Man better look out or die laughing." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Blind Date (2009)      "Too psychological and "film school" for some but a fine homage to Theo Van Gogh's integrity and courage as a filmmaker and student of the human condition." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009)      "A haunting exploration into men's minds that becomes too much of a psychological study to qualify as accessible entertainment for most." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      The Burning Plain (2009)      "Suggestions of a potential smash keep the audience hoping this film will come together but in the end it is too much and too little." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       6/10      The Caller (2009)      "Close but no cigar as a great international corporate mystery thriller slows to a crawl in a drawn out study of death. Frank Langella and Elliott Gould should have been used better." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Casi Divas (2009)      "A funny television satire and heartening viewing experience that has personal lessons in courage as well as much needed commentary on US/Mexican border relations." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      Chelsea on the Rocks (2009)      "Nostalgic and fun to talk about but not that much fun to listen to. At some point the dead will simply rest in peace." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Cold Souls (2009)      "A very engaging and civilized comedy that combines a great story with spirited acting and an undercurrent of criticism about the brave new world of medicine." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Coraline (2009)      "Yes, it comes off as an "Alice in Wonderland" copy but it's still fun viewing for the whole family. The 3-D gimmick never gets old and director Selick uses it with style." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      The Cove (2009)      "A real life spy thriller led by marine activist Richard O'Brian that is also a genuine and heartfelt plea for the marine environment." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       10/10      Disgrace (2009)      "A lethal look at the after-shock of apartheid. Tough to watch but bearing a powerful message." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Dying Breed (2009)      "Aussie mayhem with cannibalistic inbred idiots and upper middle class whitebread victims fails to set this film apart. But great fun nonetheless." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Earth (2009)      "Setting new standards in precision wildlife photography, "Earth" remains little more than eye candy. A Playboy magazine of the planet earth." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      El Niņo Pez (2009)      "The suburbs of the rich, the barrios of the poor and the watery world of the fish child form the stage for this unique and successful mystery thriller by Lucia Puenzo" [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      Enlighten Up! (2009)      "An April Fool's Day release may be more appropriate than the audience expected in this random collection of interviews and experiences on the heart and soul of yoga." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       6/10      Everlasting Moments (2009)      "Too much suffering with too little change for 131 minutes makes for a sleepy film viewer even considering the loving care of the direction and acting" [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      The Exploding Girl (2009)      "A slow and tedious look at the emotional aimlessness of college kids leaves the audience without either direction or entertainment." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009)      "Although the ranks of great IRA films are swelling rapidly this combination of political history and mystery suspense masterwork is one of the best." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Forbidden Lie$ (2009)      "Like 2003's "Shattered Glass" this film is a story of one of the best scandals ever. A well done documentary and valuable opportunity to see how good a con-artist can be." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Fuel (2009)      "A good natured cheer-leading session for clean vehicles, "Fuel" is several measures short of the intensity it will take to put Hummers where they belong---in museums." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Gomorrah (2009)      "A look at the sprawling and incredibly powerful Camorra crime family in Italy shows mostly the lurid details of conventional crime. The value of the film lies in exposing crime that is not business as usual." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Goodbye Solo (2009)      "Another powerful film by Bahrani using the bare minimum of sets and sound track and an inexperienced actor in the lead role. A film that is well produced and convey a strong message." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      Grace (2009)      "A combination splatter flick and demon child extravaganza that succeeds in bloody special effects but fails to become an actual movie." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      The Great Buck Howard (2009)      "A good comedy with jokes and nostalgia for the whole family and tasteful subject matter. But it would have been as good or better without the Hanks father-son team." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Harmony and Me (2009)      "A great new director with a great and laid back saga that will be too laid back for some but well worth the watching." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "A couple new characters and war brewing does not fill up two and a half hours of screen time" [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       6/10      The House of the Devil (2009)      "Not a bad venture into the "girl meets devil" genre but a few rock songs short of a hit." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      In the Loop (2009)      "The worse politics gets for the constituency the better it gets for the comedians. A political roast of unprecedented accuracy and intensity and a comedic dream." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       5/10      The Informers (2009)      "Life is a bitch and then you go to L.A." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       6/10      It Might Get Loud (2009)      "For those who play the instrument, watch this film and learn something about the guitar. As for the rest%u2014listen to the CDs." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Jerichow (2009)      "A great modern neo-noir thriller with sparse, tight dialog and passion that boils right through to the final shocking ending." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      The Limits of Control (2009)      "The medium is the message in this slow but sure road piece. Little action and almost no dialog emphasize the seductive photography and make a film that keeps moving in spite of itself." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      Lorna's Silence (2009)      "A passionate exploration by the Dardenne brothers into greed and the power of men to do endless harm in the context of international politics." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      Lymelife (2009)      "Pretty durn good family drama with very egalitarian lines distributed amongst young and old. Not an easy film to watch but there are lessons for everyone." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      The Maid (2009)      "A low budget art house film stretching the envelop in comedic drama. Hilarity and insanity in the world of the workaday." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       9/10      The Messenger (2009)      "This film will be too much for some viewers because of the spot-on antiwar statement but the story is tight and the performances powerful." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       9/10      Moon (2009)      "The cool and unvarnished heir apparent to the throne of low budget indie sci-fi thrillers." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       9/10      Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers (2009)      "A tremendously important lesson for times when it seems like we are always at war. Will the person stopping them always be branded a traitor?" [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       7/10      My Last Five Girlfriends (2009)      "Some very different cinematic methods and above-average acting and direction make this entourage of beautiful people a rom-com worth watching." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics       8/10      My One and Only (2009)      "A heart warming piece of summer fare for those nostalgia buffs in the audience." [movie review]      Monsters and Critics
