This is fitting for the film but leaves the viewer without a character to like." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "...an excellent date film aimed at those beyond the usual tweenie audience." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      9 (2009)      "The attention to details, such as the individual costume of each of the diminutive sack bots and the brilliantly intricate background art, make this a great piece of elegant eye candy."

[movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Afghan Star (2009)      "...insightful document that gives you so much more than the well-done look at a reality show." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Alien Trespass (2009)      "The filmmakers have an obvious love for their work and its source material and it shows." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C      Amelia (2009)      "Swank is fake-freckled and bewigged and bears a striking resemblance to Amelia. It is too bad the character was not better written." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Amreeka (2009)      "...a small budget, sincere little film that has its heart in the right place." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      An Education (2009)      "This is a tour de force for Carey Mulligan as the intelligent, mature Jenny..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Astro Boy (2009)      "The CGI animation is crisp and colorful, the characters have some complexity and there is clever enough writing to keep the parents amused while the kids have fun." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D+      Away We Go (2009)      "The only positive thing in Away We Go is a charming performance by Maya Rudolph as pregnant Verona." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Battle for Terra (2009)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Beeswax (2009)      "...self-conscious first-time performances, often mumbling into their hands, are distracting and often took me from the moment." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       --      La Belle personne (2009)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Big Fan (2009)      "...expected a typical obsessed sports fan flick but writer and first-time director Robert D. Siegel gives us more, and entertains too." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A      Bright Star (2009)      "This is definitely a for-the-femmes flick with its story of romance, elegant dialog, fine chemistry between stars Whitshaw and Cornish and outstanding production design, lensing and costume." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Bronson (2009)      "...not a great film but garners a strong performance from its star [Tom Hardy]." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      The Brothers Bloom (2009)      "Techs are as expected for a globetrotting adventure yarn. It is too bad that the script was not up to the behind-the-camera work." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Burma VJ (2009)      "Do not expect slick filmmaking in this somber, sobering documentary, but this is not the film's raison d'etre. Bringing the story to worldwide light is and I hope it works." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary (2009)      "...almost an overload of information but does a terrific job in giving voice to a diversity of people in the docu industry and their varied opinions." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      Cheri (2009)      "...a good one for fans of period movies and Stephen Frears but left me less than satisfied." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Cherry Blossoms (2009)      "...a touching portrait of love and understanding that leaves you both elated and sad." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)      "I'm a sucker for a good kids' flick and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs really delivers the goods." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Coraline (2009)      "...a marvel of storytelling and technology melded together into a wonderful whole." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      The Cove (2009)      "...an ecological thriller cloaked in a gripping documentary that lays bare a world travesty." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Crude (2009)      "...good documentary filmmaking and an interesting, thought-provoking, subject." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Dead Snow (2009)      "It is...homage to the genre and, especially, Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C      Departures (2009)      "I found myself watching the clock and begging for this bloated opus to end." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Easy Virtue (2009)      "The combination of deft direction, good acting, intelligent script and excellent look make Easy Virtue a good bet for mature audiences." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Everlasting Moments (2009)      "...a film buff kind of movie that, unfortunately, won't make it to mainstream audiences." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Every Little Step (2009)      "...has a ready-made audience in the tens of thousands who saw the many-years running original and for those who are fans of the genre. A well-crafted documentary will interest the documentary film buff, too." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D      Extract (2009)      "This is a disappointing effort by writer-director Mike Judge that, on paper, may have been an amusing idea. In execution, though, it is not." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Fanboys (2009)      "This road movie heads in predictable directions but with unpredictable results." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)      "There is little or nothing here for young children and some may be frightened. All the better for us big kids who can appreciate wit and artisanship." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009)      "This is gritty storytelling where violence is a way of life and confrontation between Catholics and Protestants and police a daily occurrence." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       F      Gentlemen Broncos (2009)      "Life is too precious to waste it watching a disaster like this one." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "The even-handed telling...does a first-rate job in laying the groundwork for the much-anticipated finale to this favorite film series." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Hotel for Dogs (2009)      "Adults will see the huge plot holes that pepper Hotel for Dogs but the filmmakers know that the real audience, the youngsters, won't care." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A      The Hurt Locker (2009)      "This is a must see film." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      I Love You, Man (2009)      "...an affable buddy comedy that goes in the right directions and pushes the right buttons." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)      "The 3D effect is a plus, giving volume to the routine adventure. Familiarity may breed contempt, though, and the franchise grows tired." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Il Divo (2009)      "...we get a in depth look into Italian politics. But, you don't need to be familiar with that country's volatile recent years to enjoy a fine piece of filmmaking." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C      In Search Of The Great Beast 666 (2009)      "...some vigorous editing would have helped to cut this down from its snooze-inducing 125 minutes." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      In the Loop (2009)      "keeps the story and humor moving at a breakneck pace that never bores and always amuses" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Inglourious Basterds (2009)      "Tarantino fans, among many others, will have a great good time." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      The International (2009)      "The enormous behind-the-camera crew makes it a rich looking film that is easy to watch. Too bad the routine story brings it down a notch." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      It Might Get Loud (2009)      "...a must for the rock music fan, especially you guitarists out there." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      Just Another Love Story (2009)      "...the type of story that could get very muddled and confusing but, while there are one or two missteps, overall it is a captivating tale of life, love and lies." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      Law Abiding Citizen (2009)      "...the kind of ragged film that appeals to the lower common denominator rather than the intelligent portion of the viewer's brain." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      The Maid (2009)      "Writer/director Sebastian Silva...does not insult with his deft, sleight-of-hand storytelling, making this a wonderfully well-rounded story that never condescend but ascends." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews
