Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 37%	2012 (2009)	" This movie is a disaster. At least it would be if it didn't fall into the "so bad it's good" category." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Nov 8, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 75%	Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)	" As usual, Moore is a man who wants answers, which makes for a good documentary. It is a fascinating, albeit terribly lopsided, insight." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Nov 5, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 66%	The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)	" The script could have done with a little more work and the story loses its way more than once, but the weird and wonderful world Gilliam and Ledger have created is worth a peek." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Oct 25, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 81%	Departures (2009)	" Departures is a great film and, yes, you're going to need your reading glasses -- this one is subtitled." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Oct 11, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 71%	Van Diemen's Land (2009)	" The film is at times tasteless and unpalatable but the screenplay, based on four confessions Pearce gave after his capture, has a certain level of interest to it." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Sep 22, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	The Soloist (2009)	" Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx are highly convincing. Problem is, the film lets them down. It is not as powerful or moving as it could -- and should -- have been." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Aug 30, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 52%	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)	" Ultimately, this is not a great train-robbery film -- but hey, in the whole scheme of things, it's not a bad one, either." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Aug 23, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 65%	Adam (2009)	" Adam, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, holds your attention, but the film is slow-going at times and lacks a knockout punch." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Aug 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 86%	Tyson (2009)	" This doco goes a little way to portraying Tyson as more human than animal. Iron Mike even sheds a few tears." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Aug 2, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 63%	Mes Amis, Mes Amours ()	" While My Friends, My Loves is not a masterpiece, it sticks to the romantic comedy genre with a French twist." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jul 14, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" You should know by now whether Bruno is your kind of movie. I had high hopes, but confess to leaving the cinema somewhat disappointed." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jul 6, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 45%	Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)	" The 3D effects are not over-done, nor do they detract from the film. They are actually quite enjoyable." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 28, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 19%	Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)	" It would be great to say there is "more than meets the eye", but that is not the case. It's just a near-perfect replica of the first film." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 24, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 72%	Sunshine Cleaning (2009)	" Although the film isn't brilliant, the script has its moments and includes some memorable dialogue: "How'd she die?" "It was a do-it-yourself kinda thing."" — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 10, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 82%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" It's great for men, excellent for women and perfect for a metrosexual man-date." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 1, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 66%	Is Anybody There? (2009)	" Caine and Milner go together like peas in a pod. Or, better yet, like bangers and mash. They're an odd couple, but they face life as one and it's a rewarding journey." — Courier Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 1, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 96%	WALL-E (2008)	" It's a credit to the animators that they were able to create believable emotions in these beeping hunks of computer-generated metal." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Sep 17, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 37%	Speed Racer (2008)	" No doubt the Wachowski brothers were aiming for a surreal atmosphere, and they hit their mark, but it too often felt less an edge-of-your-seat movie experience and more a pretty cool new computer game." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 12, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	" The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull lives up to its hype and offers plenty of classic Indy moments." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 7, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 66%	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	" Prince Caspian is rife with Christian metaphors and mythology. Well, they're there if you choose to see them." — Sunday Mail (Australia) Posted Jun 7, 2008
