Fresh	N/A	NoBody's Perfect (2009)	" The film is alternately hilarious, insightful and sad, and entirely allergic to sentimentality or easy platitudes." Posted Oct 26, 2009
Rotten	N/A	Warning!!! Pedophile Released (2009)	" A noble yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt at an elegiac art film, studded with grimy exploitation material along the way." Posted Oct 23, 2009
Rotten	N/A	Creating Karma (2009)	" Scarcely have five minutes passed in Creating Karma before viewers may start to suspect they are the victims of an elaborate Andy Kaufman-esque goof. Surely that's the most logical explanation for such an abrasively unpleasant comedy." Posted Oct 20, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 48%	Astro Boy (2009)	" A well-oiled CG-animated superhero pic that makes up in competence and vitality what it lacks in originality." Posted Oct 15, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 0%	A Beautiful Life (2009)	" It's tough to find comedy in a dead-serious, skid-row-set film about homelessness, sexual abuse, incest and the exploitation of immigrants, but the misguided A Beautiful Life manages to provide unintentional laughs by the barrel." Posted Oct 2, 2009
Rotten	N/A	Streetballers (2009)	" Tonal consistency is clearly not high on Krentz's agenda, and the film flits between gritty urban drama, supernatural fable, inspirational sports pic, romantic comedy and kitchen-sink domestic melodrama, with dizzying speed." Posted Sep 28, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 38%	X Games 3D: The Movie (2009)	" A relatively unimaginative take on the proceedings, coupled with occasionally bizarre stereoscopic work and awkward narration, causes the pic to bail out more often than it soars." Posted Aug 18, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 16%	I Hate Valentine's Day (2009)	" A plodding mediocrity with an almost mercenary adherence to formula." Posted Jun 30, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Unbeatable Harold (2009)	" Unfashionable, irony-free and only sporadically funny, Ari Palitz's comedy nonetheless relies on a strong cast and an underlying sweetness to push its earnest charms to the forefront." Posted Jun 11, 2009
Rotten	N/A	Break (2009)	" *Ugly and inert, Break* strives for grindhouse thrills but lacks the verve and style that made those films so beloved, and is neither sincere nor intelligent enough to develop into anything more.**" Posted May 8, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 40%	Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry (2009)	" In contrast with Grecco's evocative photos, his film is scattered and platitudinous, skimming the surface of his subjects and betraying his high-art aspirations with a shallow E! aesthetic." Posted May 1, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Perestroika (2007)	" The film, which opened March 20 in Los Angeles, is unwieldy, overstuffed and at times hopelessly clunky, yet it's also touchingly funny, visually arresting and somehow a consistent joy to watch." Posted Mar 23, 2009
Fresh	N/A	This Is the Life (2009)	" A sharp, thoroughly enjoyable exploration of seminal South Los Angeles hip-hop hotspot the Good Life Cafe." Posted Mar 13, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 36%	The Perfect Sleep (2009)	" Unfortunately, Alter's often inventive work is kneecapped by a deliriously nonsensical script, which misses the mark as both over-the-top parody and straight-faced homage, and could have been intended as either." Posted Mar 13, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 67%	Dragon Hunters (2008)	" Reasonably enjoyable yet ultimately insubstantial." Posted Dec 11, 2008
Rotten	N/A	Faded Memories (2008)	" Containing enough wild revelations and tearful confrontations to fill several seasons of an average telenovela." Posted Nov 14, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 33%	Just Buried (2008)	" Bloody and irredeemably misanthropic." Posted Nov 4, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 0%	Hannari: Geisha Modern (2008)	" Unfortunately, the film never coheres, consumed with the details of geisha life without fully explaining its importance." Posted Jun 25, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Dare Not Walk Alone (2008)	" Dean's ability to explore history through such a local nexus creates a uniquely intimate document." Posted Apr 30, 2008
Rotten	N/A	Water (2008)	" *While it never quite reaches Jack T. Ripper levels of absurdity, Water* nonetheless drowns out its science with hazy spirituality and utterly preposterous claims. In the end, it all smells fishy.**" Posted Apr 17, 2008
