Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       2/10      Old Dogs (2009)      "Like rancid leftovers, this bland, contrived comedy is a toxic turkey, a buddy/family film gone wrong." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      The Road (2009)      "Haunting, ominous and evocative, it's a cautionary, cryptic allegory about the indominable hope for survival, even in the face of unfathomable horror." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)      "It may be low-key and shallow, but middle-aged angst has never looked lovelier." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Me and Orson Welles (2009)      "A spirited coming-of-age story, highlighted by Christian McKay's astounding physical resemblance to Welles and his perceptive, spellbinding impersonation." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Planet 51 (2009)      "So trivial and unimaginative that, unless you're desperate for sci-fi diversion for the kids, you should wait for the dvd." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)      "Shallow, vapid and cheesy, proving that melancholy eternity themes can sometimes be drenched in tedium - except for ferocious Twi-hards." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Blind Side (2009)      "Insightful, inspiring and football-themed - what could be timelier for Thanksgiving?" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Messenger (2009)      "Poignant and insightful." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)      "Sly and smartly paced adaptation, perhaps appealing even more to an older audience than a younger one." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      2012 (2009)      "Formulaic and frenzied, it's a spectacular but ultimately silly blast, drawing on every cataclysmic disaster movie you've ever seen for its Noah's Ark flood concept." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Pirate Radio (2009)      "Fanciful and free-sprited, it cleverly captures the essence of the Age of Aquarius." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009)      "Street-smart and shocking, it's memorable primaily for the brazen, devastating performances." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Box (2009)      "Never has Richard Matheson's visionary work been so badly served! This is foolish, maudlin, confusing, pretentious poppycock." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)      "Utilizing performance-capture technology, it's intricate and ingenious, offering a 3-D fantasy/adventure thrill ride, soaring into the holiday season." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)      "Surreal and absurdly satirical, claiming, 'More of this is true than you'd care to believe.'" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Broken Embraces (2009)      "Stylish, satirical and intriguing, surreptitiously exploring themes of ambition, jealousy and betrayal - and Penelope Cruz dazzles." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      A Serious Man (2009)      "Bleak and tedious, it's an ambivalent memoir about Biblical adversity, filled with edgy, alienating angst." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       10/10      Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009)      "A touching tribute, an extraordinary pop culture phenomenon and a unique artistic memorial that gives devoted fans one final glimps of the "King of Pop."" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Amelia (2009)      "Shallow and superficial, it's far better suited to the Biography channel than the big-screen." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      The Stepfather (2009)      "There are some movies that should not be re-made. This is one of them, as proven by this updated, cliche-filled version which fails to build up the necessary tension and truncates the mystery." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Law Abiding Citizen (2009)      "It's criminally contrived." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Paranormal Activity (2009)      "Subtly scary, supernatural fright flick" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Couples Retreat (2009)      "Floundering, only intermittently funny. Wait for the dvd." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Where the Wild Things Are (2009)      "An endearing, engaging, escapist story for all ages, earning a place of honor among family-friendly films." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       1/10      Antichrist (2009)      "Too sadistic, violent, and grossly offensive, there are some movies that never should have been made, even for art-house audiences." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      St. Trinian's (2009)      "I suspect this boorish, crude, often vulgar British comedy lost a great deal of its jolly credence whilst crossing the Atlantic." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      An Education (2009)      "Clever and engaging, the title serves as a double entendre about a transformative 'university of life' experience." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      The Invention of Lying (2009)      "It's a very, very funny premise - for about 20 minutes." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Zombieland (2009)      "It's pointless to expect too much from a smarmy, silly, slapstick/teen romance horror satire and, if that's your attitude, you won't be disappointed." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Whip It (2009)      "It's an effervescent, rough-and-tumble rivalry on wheels, celebrating friendship and camaraderie while artfully delineating the struggle within families to understand one another." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Bright Star (2009)      "Elegant and incadescent, it revels in its innate intelligence." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       10/10      Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)      "Why do we go to the movies? To be entertained and informed. And Michael Moore shows an uncanny ability to be 'way ahead of the curve of public awareness." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Fame (2009)      "An enthusiastic yet familiarly recycled reinvention, which is kind of a shame." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Surrogates (2009)      "While this sci-fi thriller has an intriguing premise, it's synthetic and superficial in its execution." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      The Horse Boy (2009)      "Inspiring, enlightening and affirmative journey into the mysteries of shamanism and autism." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Damned United (2009)      "Despite a rich and complex, powerhouse performance by Michael Sheen, it's hard to sell a biopic when many movie-goers have little awareness of either the subject of British soccer history." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)      "An amusing kidflick that entertains while serving up enlightening food-for-thought." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       2/10      Love Happens (2009)      "Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? When you use that title, you're asking for trouble." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Informant! (2009)      "Hide-and-sneaky absurdist comedy" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      The Other Man (2009)      "A skewed psychological thriller revolving around the many forms of betrayal." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Burning Plain (2009)      "Erotic and haunting, filled with fateful concepts and indelible imagery." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Extract (2009)      "It's a raunchy social commentary that will undoubtedly do even better when it's released on video, thereby repeating the pattern of 'Office Space.'" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Whiteout (2009)      "Ice-schlocky - an idiotic wipeout." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The September Issue (2009)      "Because this is an "authorized" (a.k.a. flattering) behind-the-scenes glimpse of "Vogue," it's glossy eye-candy but we never truly know what makes Anna Wintour tick." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      9 (2009)      "Sinister, scary, imaginative and original - despite a thin, one-dimensional storyline." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       1/10      All About Steve (2009)      "Irritating and inexcusable, it's a total waste of time and talent." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      The Final Destination (2009)      "The novelty for this supernatural screamfest is the 3-D, making the concept of impalement, for example, seem to thrust directly into the audience." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Post Grad (2009)      "Considering the waste of time, comedic talent and film-financing, it flunks." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Taking Woodstock (2009)      "Much of our enjoyment of a movie is based on expectations - and this title is misleading. It's actually a low-key, lightweight, occasionally amusing yet shallow story." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      My One and Only (2009)      "Amusingly bittersweet, screwball comedy, evoking the sexist ambiance of TV's "Mad Men.""
