Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       .5/4      Stan Helsing (2009)      "This might be the cheapest-looking production of the year." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       B-      Halloween II (2009)      "This film might be the most artfully rendered slasher sequel ever made. Alas, Zombie's dark poetry only goes so far without more substantive justification." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       B      Dead Snow (2009)      "The pre-credits opening - a hilariously self-aware, subversive chase scene scored to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" - stands as an easy comedic high point." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       2.5/4      Paranormal Activity (2009)      "Paranormal Activity only occasionally rises above the status of a cute haunted house tour or hayride." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       D-      Year One (2009)      "The only thing that can be mustered up for the whole sorry enterprise is pity." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       4/4      Toy Story (1995)      "Like the transcendent long shot of Buzz and Woody soaring as one, Toy Story does the impossible in casting us up." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      In Search Of Beethoven (2009)      "After the monotonous guide through history that was In Search of Mozart, Phil Grabsky's follow-up plays like a much-needed shot of adrenaline to the brain." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself (2009)      "I Can Do Bad acknowledges Madea's flaws with loving scrutiny, and doesn't require approval of her more selfish attributes." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Gogol Bordello Non-Stop (2009)      "Most of the best sequences simply give over to footage of Gogol's live performances, with lead singer Eugene Hütz often seen inviting audience members on stage for any number of gags or creative involvements." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Goodbye Solo (2009)      "Fine performances all around act like vital organs within the body of Bahrani's resonant chamber piece." [movie review]      Suite101.com       2/4      Sunshine Cleaning (2009)      "Not entirely insubstantial, even as the bulk evaporates from the mind." [movie review]      Suite101.com       3.5/4      Adventureland (2009)      "Deserving of Citizen Kane status in its insight, emotional depth, and yes, entertainment." [movie review]      Suite101.com       4/4      Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)      "Every image, sound, and color ultimately clicks into place, like a puzzle one is only subconsciously aware of." [movie review]      Suite101.com       1/4      G-Force (2009)      "Disney [hates you and] wants your money." [movie review]      Suite101.com       3/4      Boy Interrupted (2009)      "Not unlike Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, personal anguish here proves emotionally cathartic." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Aliens in the Attic (2009)      "What else can be said of a film in which even the vocal talent of J.K. Simmons is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the cast?" [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King?" [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "The thoughtfully expressive compositions, in their vast, almost embracing depth, suggest a silent film made today." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Public Enemies (2009)      "Though less ravishing than Miami Vice, Public Enemies again finds Michael Mann forging new ground in the digital arts." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Land of the Lost (2009)      "The year's funniest moment may involve dino pee." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Up (2009)      "Far more lopsided than WALL-E, Up fails to reach the stratosphere." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       2/4      The Shawshank Redemption (1994)      "Rarely rises above the overbearing, obnoxious and trite." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Choke (2008)      "Choke sucks." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Under Our Skin (2009)      "Only in its investigation into these downright evil motives does it take on the necessary role of activist, and...I wish it had gone further and deeper." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Limits of Control (2009)      "Seems to exist neither in complete reality or complete fantasy." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Godzilla vs. Gigan (1977)      "Among the most efficient and exciting of the series since the 1954 original." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Godzilla Vs. Hedorah (1972)      "The image of the massive smog beast sucking fumes off of pollutant factory pipes proves almost indelible, but little else registers." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Dirty Harry (1971)      "Little in Dirty Harry aims above the barely cognizant." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Terminator Salvation (2009)      "No small tragedy, this is the first Terminator film without a heart." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)      "It's only almost the making of a comedy classic." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Drag Me To Hell (2009)      "Stands as the latest in a line of occasional, much-needed reminders that the horror genre isn't going completely downhill anytime soon." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Fired Up (2009)      "Fast forward to the end credits to see the greatest dragon pratfall in cinematic history." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       2.5/4      Crank High Voltage (2009)      "Both exhilarating and exhausting, it falls just short of a fever pitch." [movie review]      Suite101.com            My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)      "Though it stands as one of the better horror remakes to come along in recent memory, 2009's My Bloody Valentine still only just passes for competent watchability." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)      "For pure stupidity, nothing tops the scene in which a mutant falls at a descending rate so as to prolong the showing off of its long-since unimpressive superpower." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Eclipse Series 15: Travels With Hiroshi Shimizu (1933)      "Behold, the untold wonders of Japanese cinema. Arigato, Criterion!" [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Bride Wars (2009)      "Enough to make one yearn for the rich complexity of Home Improvement." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Wendy and Lucy (2008)      "The last masterpiece of 2008, and the perfect yin yang to its first." [dvd review]      The Projection Booth       4/4      Wendy and Lucy (2008)      "Wendy and Lucy gets under your nails, which is to say, it's the stuff of life." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Throw Down Your Heart (2009)      "Unbegrudgingly hands itself over to the music of its chosen subjects." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Enlighten Up! (2009)      "A modest, sublime look at the search for truth" [movie review]      The Projection Booth       1/4      Dragonball: Evolution (2009)      "A more accurately descriptive moniker would have been Dragonball Stagnation." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Who Does She Think She Is? (2008)      "Feels like little more than one overly drawn-out act of throat-clearing." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       1.5/4      12 Rounds (2009)      "Renny Harlin's 12 Rounds attempts to put the final nail into the coffin of the static shot." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Oblivion (2008)      "Oblivion maintains its focus on Peru but its examination of corruption renders its insights universal." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Friday the 13th (2009)      "The year is young and we already have a contender for worst film." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Skills Like This (2009)      "This likable indie comedy fails to completely get off the ground." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       1.5/4      Race to Witch Mountain (2009)      "Witch Mountain isn't escapism but a feature-length reminder that things are bad all over." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       .5/4      Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)      "Like a failed offspring sullying its family name, this laughable would-be diversion has only its digitally-based predecessors going for it." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)      "Though disappointingly lax in the features department, Dear Zachary is a work that truly speaks for itself."
