Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       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       3.5/4      Adventureland (2009)      "Deserving of Citizen Kane status in its insight, emotional depth, and yes, entertainment." [movie review]      Suite101.com       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       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            Bride Wars (2009)      "Enough to make one yearn for the rich complexity of Home Improvement." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Confusions of an Unmarried Couple (2009)      "Functions as coach to the titular quarreling couple, almost rigorously evenhanded and unbiased as it details the opposing viewpoints and recollections." [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       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       2/4      Dog Eat Dog (2009)      "Dog Eat Dog's choice of hyper-stylized, overexposed cinematography is ultimately more concerned with creating a mood of jittery, hell-on-earth claustrophobia than it is with forcibly exoticizing its crime-stricken Colombian setting." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            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       1/4      Dragonball: Evolution (2009)      "A more accurately descriptive moniker would have been Dragonball Stagnation." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Enlighten Up! (2009)      "A modest, sublime look at the search for truth" [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            Friday the 13th (2009)      "The year is young and we already have a contender for worst film." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       1/4      G-Force (2009)      "Disney [hates you and] wants your money." [movie review]      Suite101.com       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       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            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       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            Land of the Lost (2009)      "The year's funniest moment may involve dino pee." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Law Abiding Citizen (2009)      "While preferably to the typical Saw entry by about a five-to-one ratio, Law Abiding Citizen still isn't any good." [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            The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)      "Comes to us as the latest political satire to have inadvertently sliced off its own pair." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            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       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            Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)      "It's only almost the making of a comedy classic." [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       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            Skills Like This (2009)      "This likable indie comedy fails to completely get off the ground." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       .5/4      Stan Helsing (2009)      "This might be the cheapest-looking production of the year." [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       2/4      Sunshine Cleaning (2009)      "Not entirely insubstantial, even as the bulk evaporates from the mind." [movie review]      Suite101.com            Surrogates (2009)      "Seems less like a 21st Century would-be blockbuster than a lost 80's relic only just rediscovered. Either way, we're lucky to have it." [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            Throw Down Your Heart (2009)      "Unbegrudgingly hands itself over to the music of its chosen subjects." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King?" [movie review]      The Projection Booth       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       1.5/4      Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail (2009)      "Tyler Perry's roles as both populist entertainer and social preacher come into disconcerting conflict in the latest film." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            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            Up (2009)      "Far more lopsided than WALL-E, Up fails to reach the stratosphere." [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       D-      Year One (2009)      "The only thing that can be mustered up for the whole sorry enterprise is pity." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            10,000 B.C. (2008)      "One can only infer that, in order for it to be taken seriously, the makers expected audiences to forget pretty much every movie they'd ever seen before in their entire life." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Vol. 6 (2008)      "The season entire suggests a creation struggling to outdo itself and coming up short in the process." [movie review]      Suite101.com            The Bank Job (2008)      "The film comes out on the upper side of things by managing to avoid blue balls." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Be Kind Rewind (2008)      "Ultimately trades in schmaltz of the unearned kind." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       3/4      The Betrayal (2008)      "A probing, textured mix of historical and personally shot footage set to an effectively disembodied voiceover." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Bloodline (2008)      "As purportedly nonfictional cinema, Bloodline poses an implicit dilemma to viewers and critics: How do we know if what we're watching is real?" [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Bustin' Down the Door (2008)      "You'll learn more about the pathos of hanging ten from Surf's Up." [movie review]      Slant Magazine
