Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 84%	Avatar (2009)	" *Did everything make sense? Nope. And you know what? Who cares! Avatar* is thrilling, exciting and, best of all, something new that your eyeballs didn't even know they very much wanted to see.**" Posted Dec 16, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 39%	2012 (2009)	" 2012 is reminiscent of yesteryear ’80s shlock-tastic blockbusters -- total popcorn entertainment with ridiculous dialogue and impossible situations and special effects that will boggle the brain for a good two-plus hours." Posted Dec 7, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Broken Embraces (2009)	" If you somehow weren’t already sold on the ridiculous gorgeousness of Penélope Cruz, this should do the trick." Posted Dec 7, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Red Cliff (2009)	" *It’s hard to know what we’re missing from the extended cut, but this Red Cliff* feels awfully complete to me.**" Posted Dec 7, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 28%	The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)	" *I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight* part three.**" Posted Dec 7, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)	" Visually, its a true marvel. Perhaps best of all, it feels like something entirely new." Posted Nov 13, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 73%	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	" Something doesn’t quite jell, and no matter how gorgeous each set piece is, it doesn’t always entirely add up to a complete and satisfying narrative. I couldn’t help but think, from time to time, how on earth were these guys allowed to make this movie?" Posted Oct 14, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 89%	No Impact Man (2009)	" The family has its struggles, certainly, but even more than a statement about the environment, No Impact Man offers a thoughtful narrative on the compromises of marriage and how this particular couple found a way to meet in the middle." Posted Sep 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 57%	9 (2009)	" One wonders, in fact, if 9 should have stuck with its original short format." Posted Sep 8, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 87%	Big Fan (2009)	" *Mr. Siegel nails so many quirky details, and finds humor in the smallest of moments, that Big Fan* is surprisingly poignant, too.**" Posted Aug 26, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" District 9 is the most exciting science fiction movie to come along in ages; definitely the most thrilling film of the summer; and quite possibly the best film I’ve seen all year." Posted Aug 12, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Humpday (2009)	" *It’s interesting that Humpday, a movie as sneakily taboo-nudging and subversive in a lot of the same ways as Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno, opens on the same weekend but with a lot less fuss.*" Posted Jul 8, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" Certainly, the film is worth seeing if only for the fascinating range in reactions (give ’em something to talk about indeed!)." Posted Jul 8, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 43%	The Proposal (2009)	" Bullock is one of those actresses that help prove that, when done right, a romantic comedy can be a wonderfully satisfying thing." Posted Jun 17, 2009

Fresh	Fresh 89%	Moon (2009)	" *The whole film feels like a throwback to classic sci-fi films (think 2001, Blade Runner), days that didn’t rely so much on CGI but on good old-fashioned and clammy human panic.*" Posted Jun 10, 2009
—	Rotten 36%	X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)	Click here to read article Posted May 6, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 64%	Watchmen (2009)	" It wasn’t that I wasn’t engaged in some of the (many) story lines, it’s just that there was never enough time spent with any particular one to so as to become emotionally involved … which seem strange to say about a movie 165 minutes long." Posted Mar 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 91%	Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2008)	" It’s kind of amazing that a film about a sports game where the final score is in the title could be so suspenseful, but Mr. Rafferty manages to pull it off." Posted Nov 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 65%	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	" It’s hard to imagine this film succeeding on any level without Mr. Rogen and Ms. Banks as the leads." Posted Oct 29, 2008
Fresh	N/A	All of Us (2008)	" Ms. Abt brings out the best in her subjects: Tara and Chevelle and their partners are fully realized, not just poster children for the cause." Posted Sep 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Man On Wire (2008)	" As the film traces how he plotted his Word Trade Center walk, it starts to feel almost like a heist movie, as Mr. Petit and his cronies map out each minute detail over the course of month." Posted Jul 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	The Order of Myths (2008)	" To say each group takes this tradition seriously can in no way convey the absolute nuttiness and frenzy that filmmaker Margaret Brown has captured." Posted Jul 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 67%	CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)	" It’s fun to see these four guys back together, hair a little grayer, paunches a bit more pronounced (though, weirdly, David Crosby looks exactly the same), fighting and harmonizing just like the old times." Posted Jul 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 71%	American Teen (2008)	" Ms. Burstein has infused her film with an ever-rare authenticity and manages to see beyond each kid’s stereotype to the complicated screwed-up adolescent they are (and we were)." Posted Jul 23, 2008
