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

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 98%	The Hurt Locker (2009)	" Bigelow’s camera is impartial and dispassionate, but explosively powerful and unflinching. There is no commentary or judgment, just war and fatigue." Posted Jul 23, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 81%	Departures (2009)	" There is nothing so sparkling to this film at first glance. It’s a film about man’s mortality and how he handles it, but death is not cleverly hidden inside a bigger story. It’s a wake-up slap in the face about the gritty part of dying: the bodies." Posted Jul 9, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 47%	Whatever Works (2009)	" Whatever Works won’t set the world on fire but it has more than its share of riotously hysterical moments and delicious absurdities." Posted Jul 3, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 39%	The Limits of Control (2009)	" Every time something seems to be happening, Jarmusch tips us gently back into sleep mode. It’s enough to make you long for a sip of one of the countless espressos the nameless man enjoys." Posted Jun 4, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 98%	Up (2009)	" Even the out-of-place moments and blunt conceits can be forgiven, as they perform dutifully in service to the kind of thrilling movie adventures we regular folks can only dream of, but which the wizards at Pixar perform with ease." Posted May 28, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Sin Nombre (2009)	" [Director Fukunaga] spends as little time dwelling on the whole as possible, instead opting for a classic road-trip story of the parts: the people who are emigrating and the gang members trying to kill one of them." Posted May 14, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 63%	The Girlfriend Experience (2009)	" *While The Girlfriend Experience* is not a good film by any stretch, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as being, at the very least, worth the time to watch it.**" Posted May 14, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 59%	Paris 36 (2008)	" Director Christophe Barratier has not crafted a film for the ages here, but it’s a workable, fun piece about family and friendship, full of wonderful songs and musical numbers performed on the Chansonia stage." Posted Apr 23, 2009
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 78%	Ashes of Time Redux (1994)	" Redux clocks in at a slightly shorter running time than any of the previous versions Wong has offered. The tighter edit is a better fit, but ultimately, it’s not enough." Posted Mar 12, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 98%	The Wrestler (2008)	" Pro wrestling is not an easy subject to take seriously, but director Darren Aronofsky displays it well as a spellbinding muscle ballet, sweaty and bloody, but graceful and addictive all the same." Posted Jan 22, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 80%	Gran Torino (2008)	" *Where Gran Torino* fails at social criticism, it succeeds at capturing an engrossing snapshot of the human saga. If itâ€™s Clintâ€™s last film, itâ€™s a perfect ending.**" Posted Jan 9, 2009
