A-
     (2009)      "Harrowing and horrifying, The Hurt Locker delivers the visceral, heart-in-throat action goods, and in doing so, gets at more truths about Iraq than its preachy ... brethren." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "The Stoning of Soraya M. functions as a message-movie slasher film." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "Does little except reinforce the notion that Allen's creative well has long since run dry." [movie review]      Cinematical   
  
     (2009)      "A nasty little slice of backwater depravity." [movie review]      Cinematical   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Year One is a slapdash film in desperate need of more authoritative stewardship." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "Even those with a soft spot for The Dancing Outlaw will likely have a hard time warming up to The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
B-
     (2009)      "Unevenly replicates Sam Raimi's whirligig blend of terror and comedy." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Humor and romance are interspersed so predictably it's as if screenwriter Pete Chairelli were working from a rom-com checklist." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "The director's triumphant return to form." [movie review]      Cinematical   
  
C
     (2000)      "Comes across as a prologue teaser for a yet-to-be-established franchise." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "Exploitatively reprints the legend of murderous Staten Island 'pied piper' Andre Rand ad nauseam in Cropsey." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Are Tony Scott's films actually directed by Google Earth?" [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Paul Devlin's documentary portrays its central locale as merely an interesting, uniquely situated outpost." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "An assured, mesmerizing tale of intergalactic loneliness, self-inquiry, and man's innate, enduring hunger for life." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
C+
     (2009)      "Ends up feeling like a tossed-off Judd Apatow photocopy." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "Land of the Lost is halfway toward amusing, which means it's just as close to awful." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Serving merely formulaic find-yourself melodrama, the film coasts along lackadaisically." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Director Phillips wrings his scenario for consistent semi-dark humor, letting his odd-couple leads go for broke and wielding mystery as a comedic spur that keeps the proceedings from dragging." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "A road-trip comedy in equal measures bittersweet and hopeful, Mendes's latest boasts few of his stuffy aesthetic trademarks." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "A delirious haunted house carnival ride." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
     (2009)      "Exudes a wit and wisdom that elevates it to the animated adventure apex." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
.5/4
     (2009)      "What Goes Up's point that Americans create icons to fulfill their own screwy needs is made through contrived and nonsensical plotting." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Pontypool at least manages to amuse (a spur-of-the-moment on-air obituary is priceless) as well as consistently intrigue, right up to a bizarro post-credits epilogue that seems beamed in from Sin City." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "It falls flat trying to muster up any mirth or suspense as it barrels from one set piece to the next." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "Strives for bleak gravity with misguided fervor." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "All the world's a financial transaction just waiting to be negotiated in The Girlfriend Experience, a handsome, frosty, rather one-note time capsule from October 2008." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "The weirdness employed by Stephen Belber's amorous fairy tale is of a decidedly limp, half-hearted sort." [movie review]      Cinematical   
  
1/4
     (2009)      "If the story isn't nearly as ridiculous as Da Vinci's, director Ron Howard still impeccably maintains the series's turgid mediocrity." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "By protracting his set-up, Petzold ... achieves and maintains an effective level of intrigue." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
     (2009)      "Infinitely pleased with its derivative, fanciful writerly convolutions." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "Oh, O'Horten, how wincingly affected you are." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "By letting others do the heavy lifting, the filmmaker comes off as more than a little reticent, a quality in tune with the overall tone of his latest." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
     (2009)      "A largely thrilling surprise, its blend of humor, romance and action so kinetically orchestrated that calling out its shortcomings feels like excessive carping." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
     (2009)      "A flagrantly contrived piece of Hollywood-style hokum masquerading as serious drama." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
     (2009)      "If Egoyan's elliptical narrative flirts with pretentiousness, the director nonetheless encases his action in an affecting mood of regret and longing." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "Zonca's story is an unruly beast, lurching this way and that like a biker hopped up on mescaline and paint thinner, its unpredictable rowdiness in sync with its out-of-control protagonist." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "The film's scenario unavoidably devolves into a treatise that, though timely, feels a tad too on the nose." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "The sporadic appearances by Ali hopelessly unbalance the proceedings, his fiercely outspoken interviews providing the only morsels of substance." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Through narration, interviews, and cinematographic fawning over their chassis, classic American cars are celebrated for their imperfect character, which makes them seem vibrantly alive." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "Yet another of this year's homage-facsimiles, The House of the Devil forgoes campy self-awareness in favor of reverential faithfulness--and in doing so, implicitly critiques contemporary horror cinema." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "Generally humorless and pointless, devoid as the film is of any commentary on the genre to which it's paying loving tribute." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "With the exception of an adequate helicopter attack, the action is perfunctory and forgettable, albeit no more so than the script's range of cliches" [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "The plot's eventual denigration of the single life and endorsement of soul mates and happily-ever-afters is predictably rote." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2008)      "What ultimately prevents Eldorado from generating any serious comedic energy is absurdity ... that feels unduly strained and limp." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "A bizarre, preachy pro-peace animated adventure." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
     (2009)      "Plods along with a self-seriousness that borders on parody." [movie review]      The Screengrab   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Director Shill doesn't get fancy building tension from his nonsensical male-anxiety mayhem, allowing Knowles's beguiling fierceness and Larter's sexualized cunning to carry much of the prurient load." [movie review]      Slant Magazine
