     (2009)      "Not a thing in this movie is subtle, from its cheesy special effects to its by-the-numbers storyline to its cardboard cutout characters." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "What Whip It does make clear is that all girls are expected to perform, whether expectations are embodied by parents or audiences." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Zombieland does well enough in its early minutes, then picks up a little unexpected speed when Columbus meets another "noncannibal survivor" (played by a perfect Woody Harrelson)." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Coco Before Chanel cannot get out from under the romantic fabrications and excesses that ostensibly annoyed its subject." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "If the story of Jenny's inevitably hard lesson is standard, An Education comes up with a few moments that give pause." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Amelia provides only a cursory look at Earhart's commercialization, more a way to delineate her marriage troubles than investigate her self-image or her treatment as a pop star." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Feelings of loss and frustration, acted out so loudly, raucously, and repeatedly, are at the center of Where the Wild Things Are." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Pirate Radio leaves out any mention of the usual historical and cultural background, say, sex as a potential means of mixing races and classes." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Intergenerational dilemmas -- how to be foxes, to be individuals and also parts of communities -- form the complicated heart of Fantastic Mr. Fox." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "A treasure hunter who has travelled far and wide looking for long-lost fortunes, Lance Larson's questing serves as point of departure for the beguiling documentary, Loot." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Full of tension, the first scene in The Maid (La Nana) sets up Raquel's grim and limited world." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "As much as This Is It recalls Jackson's genius, it perpetuates the exploitation that shaped his life." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "The titular and sometimes distressing activity in Paranormal Activity serves as a mostly banal metaphor for the couples relationship." [movie review]      Nitrate Online   
  
     (2009)      "Jamie Foxx's Nick mostly repeats the part played by Denzel Washington in Ricochet, the superior first incarnation of Law Abiding Citizen." [movie review]      Nitrate Online   
  
     (2009)      "It's some kind of trick when a film can make Jason Bateman look unsubtle." [movie review]      Nitrate Online   
  
     (2009)      "Work is at the center of Frederick Wiseman's absorbing documentary, La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet." [movie review]      Nitrate Online   
  
     (2009)      "Where is Fox Mulder when you need him?" [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Setting up easy targets, The Men Who Stare at Goats seems less clever than behind the times." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire is concerned with lasting effects of poverty -- on individuals and especially, on communities." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "As the action becomes less fabulous and more repetitive over 2012's 150 minutes, the philosophical debate ratchets up." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "The familiar format helps to underscore what's extraordinary about these stories, the fear and indignity felt by the soldiers." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
9/10
     (2009)      "Even as the camera follows Lorna, it never quite keeps up, though it's unclear whether she's eluding your interpretation or her own." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
4/10
     (2009)      "Paper Heart is increasingly focused on the tension between Cera and Yi's supposedly real romance and the camera's imposition of structure and self-consciousness." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "The home video sets up A Perfect Getaway's frank understanding of itself as formula." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "Julia Child's letters home are vivacious, illustrating her generosity and wit, her resolve and sense of humor." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
1/10
     (2009)      "The Goods' vulgarity is not new or clever or even comically shocking. It is, instead, prosaic and repetitive." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
3/10
     (2009)      "The question of her own "free will" niggles at the edges of Clare's experience throughout the movie named for her." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "Knowing that you know the drill, Bandslam leaves out most too-explanatory details, and lets the kids be kidlike rather than movie-kidlike." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "In District 9, racism provides the white guy with a very special growth experience." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
4/10
     (2009)      "As all of Shrink's seemingly disparate stories begin to fall too cleverly into each other, it's easy to be distracted by some fine performances." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Concerns about truth and untruth can't mean much in a movie called The Ugly Truth." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "G-Force's dedication to egregious stereotypes is hackneyed and indefensible: this is how racism lives on." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "It's not a bad idea for a horror movie, that the seeming victims are not innocent and their complicated past weighs on their present." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
4/10
     (2009)      "Even as it makes a show of complexity Fragments seems determined to pull together its various story strands." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "Russell Mulcahy and other artists look back fondly on Australian exploitation films for Not Quite Hollywood, sometimes wondering just how they were able to get away with it." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "In between the exciting sequences of the team setting up equipment and being nearly captured, The Cove includes interviews with persuasive sea life experts and not-so-convincing local Japanese authorities." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "Throughout this compelling film, the assassins want to believe they're doing righteous work: they're fighting Nazi occupation forces, after all." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "Full of ache and desire, Tae-ju seems the ultimate embodiment of the title of Park Chan-wook's new film, Thirst (Bakjwi)." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "If it's rare to see sisters at the center of a smart, mature, and artful movie, it's even more surprising to see them so keenly in tune." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2008)      "A complicated family dynamic is the point of departure for The Disappeared, part horror movie, part psychological study." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "The Way We Get By stays focused on the greeters' mix of loneliness and determination, the pleasure of feeling needed and the pain of growing old." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "In Off Jackson Avenue, Olivia is gutsy, shrewd, and fed up in a way that makes her look ripe for a Quentin Tarantino movie." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "In The Beaches of Agnès, the "game" of cinema is endlessly fascinating, as what was and what can be come together on screen." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "Chéri's saga of bad parenting ostensibly has to do with designs and rituals of love." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
     (2009)      "The gallant, educated, and sensitive outsider, will do right by Soraya, unlike the loathsome, fearful, and petty neighbors who killed her." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "Sensational and turbulent, the relationship between John Dillinger and Melvin Purvis sold newspapers and attracted newsreel audiences. It was good for business." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "Burma VJ articulates a circular, daunting, and inevitable logic: visibility = life." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "In brief, stark moments, Duncan Jones' movie makes plain how awful it is to be so solitary, how utterly impossible it is to consider this existence a "living."" [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg is amiable and formally conventional, a portrait that doesn't mean to provoke, but to revere." [movie review]      PopMatters   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "In Humpday, Andrew can't help but compete with Anna, who has stolen his bro, or more precisely, his slowly receding notion of himself." [movie review]      PopMatters
