Rotten 4.5/10	Fresh 85%	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)	" I'm pretty sure this would have made total sense if I was on some of the drugs that McDonagh was taking" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Nov 20, 2009
Fresh 8.5/10	Rotten 18%	The Fourth Kind (2009)	" The Fourth Kind was one of the scariest things I've seen in years. I'm going out to see it again, which tells you how much I care whether or not it's a hoax...I enjoyed every thrilling minute of it." — Huffington Post Posted Nov 3, 2009
Rotten 6/10	Rotten 16%	Gentlemen Broncos (2009)	" GENTLEMEN BRONCOS feels like a Saturday Night Liveskit that's gone on about ten minutes too long." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Oct 30, 2009
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 39%	Surrogates (2009)	" I wanted to love it. I was somewhat entertained. I'd like to go check out the graphic novelit is loosely based on. But it left me as emotionally cold as an unplugged surrogate." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Sep 25, 2009
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 85%	Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)	" ...pure fun, start to finish. Fun. Laughing-my-ass-off, it's-raining-steak-and-gumballs, I-want-Steve-the-monkey-for-my-very-own fun. There was no huge life lesson, unless you count "diving into a giant gumball hill and eating it all makes you barf". Yeah" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Sep 18, 2009
Fresh 9.5/10	Fresh 88%	Inglourious Basterds (2009)	" ...rarely have I ever been as satisfied with a film as I was with this one...[but] you should know what you're going to see....heads are bashed in with baseball bats and people are brutally murdered. If that's not your thing..." — Huffington Post Posted Aug 11, 2009
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" Unless you are really, really, really, really difficult to offend, you will be upset by something in this film. Seriously, count the "really"s. Do the math. Prepare yourself. Sacha Baron Cohen does not pull punches. If you were disturbed by BORAT, you are" — UGO Posted Jul 11, 2009
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 83%	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)	" I have to say, this was the most satisfying book-to-film transfer of them all. It never felt rushed. They took time to tell the story. The effects were wonderful, but not overdone. With a few exceptions, they included the major plot points from the book." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jul 7, 2009
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 67%	Public Enemies (2009)	" Great performances, great camera work, but just not engrossing. It did accomplish one thing though. It made me want to go read a book on Dillinger so I can be moved in the way I should have been by the film." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jul 1, 2009
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 43%	The Proposal (2009)	" I am going to do something I've never done before. I hope you're all sitting down....ahem. I am actually going to say something nice about a chick flick." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jun 23, 2009
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 15%	Year One (2009)	" What LIFE OF BRIAN did so well, was take a strong narrative and dress it up with silly humor and a naked man with a long beard. YEAR ONE has nothing to fall back on here. It's like they weren't even trying." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jun 23, 2009
Rotten 2/10	Rotten 19%	Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)	" I know they had to get this script in before the writer's strike and that it was really rushed, but did no one proof read this thing?" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jun 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Moon (2009)	" The interior shots are well done and the series of extreme close ups on Rockwell's face really give you a sense of isolation." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jun 12, 2009
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" I never thought I'd say this. Never. But I have officially forgotten SPIDERMAN 3. I want to hug Sam Raimi. I want to hug him like I did back in the days of EVIL DEAD...Let's just say that pissing off a gypsy is NOT a good idea..." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted May 21, 2009
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 64%	Watchmen (2009)	" I didn't hate it. In fact, I'm pretty sure I liked it. I was just disappointed. I'm absolutely seeing it again, but disappointed nonetheless." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 25, 2009
Fresh 7/10	Rotten 39%	Inkheart (2009)	" Inkheart is a fantastic read, and I wasn't expecting the film to live up to it at all. Much simpler than the book, the film is still a pretty fantastic ride. The story is changed around a bit but the main characters are there, exactly as you remember them" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jan 23, 2009
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 25%	Bedtime Stories (2008)	" Bedtime Stories isn't meant for us (adults). You know you're not the target audience if, when it starts raining gum balls, you don't think about eating them. You think about whether or not they would dent your car." — IGN Movies Posted Dec 24, 2008
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 80%	Nothing But the Truth (2008)	" If you think you know the premise or believe that this is just a fictional retelling of the Judith Miller scandal from a few years back, I beg you to leave those preconceptions at the door. I know I went in with my own. Nothing But the Truth is none of" — UGO Posted Dec 17, 2008
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 50%	Nothing Like the Holidays (2008)	" Watching Leguizamo dance to the 'The Show' and compete in a 'who's got the bigger chainsaw/penis' contest was certainly funnier than Vince Vaughn in a short skirt or Reese Witherspoon trying to figure out how a breast pump works." — IGN Movies Posted Dec 16, 2008
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 66%	What Doesn't Kill You (2008)	" The film is well done, gritty and raw, clearly showing the desperation in a city where opportunities are limited and crime is just another job. Ethan Hawke is a pretty risky choice as he just screams supermodel, not gangster, but after a bit of drooling," — UGO Posted Dec 13, 2008
Rotten 3/10	Rotten 25%	Four Christmases (2008)	" Must everyone make a Christmas film every year? Must it be the same story over and over again? This is why we have the Hallmark Channel. Listen, if your film is not Elf or Bad Santa, I've seen it." — UGO Posted Nov 25, 2008
N/A	Fresh 82%	Tropic Thunder (2008)	" Justin Theroux on Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2" — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
N/A	Rotten 55%	Special (2008)	" Michael Rapaport-Special Interview" — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
Fresh 8/10	Rotten 55%	Special (2008)	" A beautiful metaphor for the desperate need to be important in a world where we rarely make personal connections any more, Special deserves to be seen." — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 88%	Bolt (2008)	" I'm never a big fan of animal films and I admit it's because, though I am by no means a crier, pets losing their friends or getting lost gets me all choked up. Frankly, it's embarrassing. But if you can make me sniffle, you've won me over. Bolt...sniff" — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
N/A	Rotten 49%	Twilight (2008)	" Kristen Stewart-Twilight Interview" — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
Fresh 5/10	Rotten 49%	Twilight (2008)	" And in this world, vampires have no fangs, they don't sleep and they...well, they sparkle in the sun. Sigh. Glittery vampires. Pretty sparkly ones that don't have fangs." — UGO Posted Nov 21, 2008
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 64%	Quantum of Solace (2008)	" Since this is really the origin story of a man who kills people for a living, a darker tone makes total sense. I mean, really...do you want to go back to jet-packs?" — UGO Posted Nov 13, 2008
Rotten 4/10	Fresh 64%	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	" I am tired of the same story lines in animated films. Be unique, not part of the herd. Be yourself and your Daddy will eventually be proud of you. Monkeys and penguins can fix planes with spit...Ok, that one is new." — UGO Posted Nov 6, 2008
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 65%	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	" I've never seen a film where people look like they're having more fun together. If you don't offend easily, Zack and Miri is a riot. And Seth Rogen as a porn star is no worse than Ron Jeremy, right?" — UGO Posted Oct 30, 2008
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 98%	Let the Right One In (2008)	" I don't care how cold it is in Sweden, I'm not Ok with twelve-year-olds who don't wipe their noses. That being said, I just saw something completely unique and surprising. Who knew the vampire genre wasn't over and done with?" — UGO Posted Oct 24, 2008
Fresh 5/10	Rotten 18%	Max Payne (2008)	" There were moments that needed some explanation and characters that needed a quite a bit of fleshing out. But it was violent and fun and since that's why I played the game, I left the theater satisfied." — UGO Posted Oct 17, 2008
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 58%	Flash of Genius (2008)	" If you spend the entire movie making sure I'm aware that someone is socially awkward, he shouldn't turn into Henry Drumond from Inherit t the Wind during the closing argument." — UGO Posted Oct 3, 2008
N/A	Fresh 64%	Watchmen (2009)	" Brand New Watchmen Footage Revealed" — UGO Posted Oct 2, 2008
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 28%	Eagle Eye (2008)	" It's worth a look for the effects, or if you just want to scare yourself into throwing out your cellphone and living off the grid." — UGO Posted Sep 25, 2008
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 35%	Igor (2008)	" *I have been singing 'Tomorrow' from Annie for a few days now. Someone is going to murder me or I'm going to have to smack myself in the head and I blame it all on Igor." — UGO* Posted Sep 21, 2008
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 47%	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	" Aside from the uneven pacing, it's a thought-provoking film and pretty entertaining. I just don't think it needed to be a thriller. It just seemed like an excuse to start people talking." — UGO Posted Sep 21, 2008
