[movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Confusions of an Unmarried Couple (2009)      "These guys have the skills, and in a time of monotonous, poorly executed, and introspective-free Hollywood romantic drivel, there's plenty of opportunity." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Couples Retreat (2009)      "There's only one winner in this film, and it's Applebee's. Take my word for it and watch some Travel Channel instead." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Extract (2009)      "While familiar comedic chords are struck, the film feels unfocused and incomplete." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Friday the 13th (2009)      "Friday the 13th may be the only film I can think of that could roll the credits after the first twenty minutes and have most people leave happy." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      The Hangover (2009)      "The Hangover is a breathless stroke of comedic genius; one of those movies where, when it comes out on DVD and you have a bunch of friends over, you won't be able to watch just one scene." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)      "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)      "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Inkheart (2009)      "Plot holes notwithstanding, Inkheart is a well-timed and well-made family film that seems too good for the traditional January dumping grounds." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      The International (2009)      "Real life aside, The International is a compelling and suspenseful thriller that features one of the best shootouts of the decade." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Observe and Report (2009)      "Here's the simplest way to put it: if you liked the over-the-top, brutal finale of Pineapple Express, you'll most likely find yourself enjoying Observe and Report..." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Public Enemies (2009)      "The narrative has a few holes, but on the whole this will please fans of the genre and those looking for an accessible document of John Dillinger's life." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Star Trek (2009)      "This is premier summer entertainment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "In what has been an alarmingly weak summer, Transformers 2 really doesn't contribute much to improve it." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Watchmen (2009)      "Watchmen is no doubt a love letter to those who have been awaiting this film for two decades, but the drawbacks outweigh the advantages for the uninitiated." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Zombieland (2009)      "Director Ruben Fleischer and his team have crafted one of the most enjoyable black comedies of the year." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      27 Dresses (2008)      "Sure it's predictable, but what do you want in this movie? A sad ending? That would be called a drama." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Body of Lies (2008)      "Body of Lies is certainly one of most well-crafted and intellectually engaging political thrillers to come along this year." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Cloverfield (2008)      "It's an event movie in January, and when was the last time we had one of those? Experience it on the big screen with an enthusiastic crowd." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A+      The Dark Knight (2008)      "This is the kind of movie going experience that people tell their grand kids about." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Definitely, Maybe (2008)      "How is this for a proposition? From now on, Working Title Films is the only production company that is allowed to make films in this genre." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Eagle Eye (2008)      "The screenwriters, four in all, and director D.J. Caruso completely squander any opportunity to be original and instead opt to make a generic and completely unsatisfying thriller." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      First Sunday (2008)      "In addition to the faulty premise, which effortlessly lends itself to writer / director David E. Talbert's preachy agenda, the movie just plain isn't funny." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)      "Chan and Li both deliver in their own unique ways, and there's enough action and humor to satisfy even the less enthusiastic martial arts fans out there." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Four Christmases (2008)      "Four Christmases is simply all-too-familiar and exceedingly mediocre - and will likely be forgotten by the time we take down our Christmas trees." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Get Smart (2008)      "Though these adaptations usually produce horrific results, Get Smart is a cut above thanks to some fun performances and preposterously entertaining action." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)      "While Guantanamo Bay isn't as consistently funny as its predecessor, it does capitalize on the fact that the world is even more screwed up now than it was four years ago." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "We've come to expect a lot in recent years in terms of storytelling with Batman Begins and its ilk, and Hellboy II still feels like a relic from four years ago that hasn't evolved with the rest of the field." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      The House Bunny (2008)      "Her [Faris'] charisma and comic timing, coupled with the schizophrenic script by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, makes The House Bunny a recommendable comedy." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      The Incredible Hulk (2008)      "It's loud and in-your-face, and it does maintain the same "we know this is crazy; just go with it" tone that made Iron Man so much fun." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)      "That same smile you had as a wide-eyed ten-year-old will be duplicated as you watch this joyous cinematic exercise that cynics may believe is outdated and stale." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Iron Man (2008)      "We may not see a better movie this summer." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)      "This is about as innocent and well-intentioned as teen movies get any more." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Over Her Dead Body (2008)      "This January has been surprisingly pain-free, a rarity for sure, but this heap brings matters back to a stark reality." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Pineapple Express (2008)      "...the movie's pure energy and flawless comic timing make it a quality late summer diversion." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Quantum of Solace (2008)      "While Casino Royale was the perfect mix of the old and new, Quantum of Solace, while oftentimes thrilling, is more of a downtrodden experience that only shows a sporadic sense of humor." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Rambo (2008)      "Rambo delivers big-time and simultaneously gives a big, blood-covered middle finger to all the neutered action movies of late." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Religulous (2008)      "Religulous will almost certainly not change your opinion of Maher, but the film is exceedingly well-made, intriguing, and awkwardly hilarious." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Righteous Kill (2008)      "Remember Hide and Seek? Yeah, the twist is that obvious." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Semi-Pro (2008)      "Had a script been written, I'm confident that we could have had a great comedy on our hands." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Seven Pounds (2008)      "Will Smith wants an Oscar. That much we understand. But if he thinks he can get one by playing a tragic character in very mediocre-to-bad movies, he's likely mistaken." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)      "The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Smart People (2008)      "The film offers some witty one-liners, but it's largely a by-the-numbers affair that really just made me feel better about myself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Speed Racer (2008)      "The film is absurdly complicated for such a young demographic, and at 135 minutes it will be a monotonous chore for most others." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Step Brothers (2008)      "The majority of the gags, as crude as they can be, hit the mark and the interplay between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly keeps the film from becoming a repetitive bore." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Stop-Loss (2008)      "Rather than dwell with a bunch of debating politicians, Peirce explores the serious psychological issues that many soldiers have upon return from any war." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Street Kings (2008)      "I was halfway expecting Leslie Nielsen to make a cameo appearance as the coroner." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Traitor (2008)      "...a thriller that's not suspenseful enough and a drama that is not daring enough." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Vantage Point (2008)      "The fact that the screenplay refrains from smug political commentary and instead focuses on action and mystery enhances the experience." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      W. (2008)      "An Oliver Stone film often takes a few years to ripen, and it will be interesting to see how this biopic plays a decade or so down the road." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony
