    The Boys Are Back (2009)

    " Scott Hicks’s return to the big-screen -- and Australia, courtesy of the film’s South Australian setting -- is a wonderfully moving meditation on life, death and familial bonds that triumphs in its understated approach."

    500 Days of Summer (2009)

    " Heartbreak is rarely enjoyable, but in this case, it's very easy company -- as are Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel."

    The Soloist (2009)

    " Somewhere in here, there is a simple, powerful story. If only Wright and Grant had been able to find it."

    Orphan (2009)

    " Preventing Orphan from surpassing its “solid” status is the predictability of much of its plot. You’ll be able to guess Esther’s next move well before she makes it, and some of her sinister shenanigans suffer from being too outlandish."

    Beautiful Kate (2009)

    " Beautiful Kate is in many ways a beautiful film. It’s just a difficult one to truly enjoy."

    Bruno (2009)

    " For sheer shock value – and that’s really why people go and see a film like this – Bruno delivers. It’s clear, however, that the formula is wearing thin, and Baron Cohen need dig deeper into his bag of tricks for his next outing."

    Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

    " Occasionally it struggles to walk the line between black comedy and bleak dysfunction. Ultimately, though, this is a fresh and refreshing outing with a surprising amount of heart."

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

    " Though failing to live up to the standard set by the first two X-Men films, there's enough here to sustain fans' faith in the concept of the origins franchise."

    Tropic Thunder (2008)

    " Finally, a comedy that has more laughs than the ones in its trailer."

    Vantage Point (2008)

    " Vantage Point is a tense and imaginative thriller that reels you in the longer it goes along, only to lose focus in the last 15 minutes. This final reel misstep is a shame, but it’s not enough to ruin all the good work that’s come before it."

    Noise (2008)

    " Interesting and distinctly Australian take on the cop thriller. Cowell and Saville are on their way."
