[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      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "A whimsical, bittersweet tale of love-gone-awry" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      9 (2009)      "Sinister, scary, imaginative and original - despite a thin, one-dimensional storyline." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Adam (2009)      "Sensitively exploring a bittersweet relationship that's unusual and uncertain, demanding compromises and courage" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Adventureland (2009)      "Sweet-natured, amiable and appealing." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Aliens in the Attic (2009)      "Iyt's a cheesy kids-to-the-rescue adventure that should soar in popularity when it's released on DVD." [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       5/10      Amelia (2009)      "Shallow and superficial, it's far better suited to the Biography channel than the big-screen." [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       8/10      Angels & Demons (2009)      "Admittedly implausible and a bit confusing, it is, nevertheless, enthralling - with enough unexpected twists to keep you on the edge-of-your-seat." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      The Answer Man (2009)      "An earnest, banal, not-quite-satire of New Age wisdom that evolves into a psychobabbling romantic drama." [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       6/10      Away We Go (2009)      "Slow-moving, shallow and satirical, it's primarily populated by caricatures, not characters." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      Battle for Terra (2009)      "Despite its noble anti-war, enviornmental message, it's cliched and formulaic. Unless the kids are clamoring, wait for the dvd." [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       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      The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story (2009)      "Evocative and intriguing, spiced by lush, radiant movie clips illustrating the Sherman brothers' glorious legacy of music." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Bride Wars (2009)      "The funniest Bridezilla moments are in the trailer; if you've seen that, you've seen the movie." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       8/10      Bright Star (2009)      "Elegant and incadescent, it revels in its innate intelligence." [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       3/10      The Brothers Bloom (2009)      "Here's the problem: Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody are not Paul Newman and Robert Redford. They'd like to be and the plot has undertones of 'The Sting.' But they aren't - and it isn't." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Bruno (2009)      "Whether it's outrageously offensive or offensively outrageous, it's laugh-out-loud funny." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      The Burning Plain (2009)      "Erotic and haunting, filled with fateful concepts and indelible imagery." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       5/10      The Caller (2009)      "Frank Langella and Elliot Gould lend gravitas to this enigmatic cat-and-mouse game which unfolds far too slowly with not enough of a dramatic payoff." [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       6/10      Cheri (2009)      "It's all about the wicked game of seduction, but there's a distinct unease about Pfeiffer's performance that permeates and dilutes this sophisticated yet poignant concept." [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       7/10      Coraline (2009)      "Scary and sinister, aimed at children age eight or over...and be sure to view it in 3-D because that's where the creepy magic is hidden." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Couples Retreat (2009)      "Floundering, only intermittently funny. Wait for the dvd." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Crank High Voltage (2009)      "Adrenaline-propelled and outrageously offensive, it's a cinematic video game that's neither coherent nor credible." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       4/10      Crossing Over (2009)      "In this contrived illegal-immigration drama, the stereotypical characters and structured story lines keep crossing and bumping into each other." [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       3/10      Dance Flick (2009)      "Crude, offensive and amateurish, it exhibits all the wrong moves since the nimble bits are in the trailer." [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       8/10      District 9 (2009)      "Edgy, provocative sci-fi thriller that serves as a pop allegory for the racial tension of apartheid." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Drag Me To Hell (2009)      "Schlocky and spooky, it's a disturbing terror thriller with an unusually loud soundtrack." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Duplicity (2009)      "Slick, sneaky, snarky fun - a devilish double-cross" [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Earth (2009)      "If your family enjoys this kind of entertainment, do yourself a favor and rent the BBC's "Planet Earth" from which most of the spectacular footage was lifted." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      Easy Virtue (2009)      "Jessica Biel has such a contemporary sensibility that she's more than a fish-out-of-water in Noel Coward's 1920s comedy of manners and moral - she's a feminist-out-of-century." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       3/10      Echelon Conspiracy (2009)      "The biggest mystery is how this high-tech whodunit-gone-awry got a theatrical release and didn't go directly to dvd." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       6/10      The Escapist (2009)      "There's an intriguing twist to this puzzling escape-from-prison drama, as Brian Cox's convincing performance propels the flasbback/flashforward suspense." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       7/10      Every Little Step (2009)      "Stage-struck and sentimental, it shows what these earnest, passionate performers still do for love." [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       5/10      Fame (2009)      "An enthusiastic yet familiarly recycled reinvention, which is kind of a shame." [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       2/10      Fast & Furious (2009)      "You don't need a road map to conclude this franchise has run out of gas and is going nowhere." [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      Fired Up (2009)      "It's an adolescent boy's callow pom-pom fantasy." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate       9/10      Food, Inc. (2009)      "Stomach-churning yet persuasively necessary - but don't plan to go out to dinner after viewing this graphic documentary." [movie review]      SSG Syndicate
