Fresh 74/100	Fresh 72%	I Sell the Dead (2009)	" McQuaid recalls Terry Gilliam with his flights into the absurd and his penchant for choking dry humor." Posted Nov 3, 2009
Fresh 68/100	Rotten 38%	The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)	" A fastidiously old-fashioned love story with sloppy, soppy existential ideas and more than enough droll narrative tricks to see it through to the end." Posted Aug 25, 2009
Rotten 30/100	Rotten 36%	G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)	" The movie is finally just too frivolous to elicit any real reaction, bemusement, anger, whatever. It's almost quaint." Posted Aug 10, 2009
Rotten 50/100	Rotten 55%	Surveillance (2009)	" Riffs on noir influences with an inquisitive visual style that often drifts from the plot at hand." Posted Jun 26, 2009
Fresh 53/100	Fresh 66%	Dead Snow (2009)	" Can't resist the urge to make the mordant comedy implicit in these movies more literal than it should be." Posted Jun 19, 2009
Fresh 70/100	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" *Even if Drag Me to Hell* isn't particularly scary, even if it idly disregards its potential, it's been a long time since a horror movie of such obvious wit and loving theatrics hit American theaters.**" Posted Jun 4, 2009
Rotten 40/100	Fresh 81%	Departures (2009)	" *Though not unpleasant, Departures* can't reconcile its bawdy sense of humor with the tiresome sentimentality that always lurks not far behind.**" Posted Jun 1, 2009
Fresh 65/100	Rotten 32%	Terminator Salvation (2009)	" A steady camera in action sequences goes a long way." Posted May 22, 2009
Rotten 30/100	Rotten 36%	X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)	" The sort of listless movie that fans fear and general audiences endure on idle summer nights year after year, mostly just because it's there." Posted May 4, 2009
Rotten 50/100	Fresh 60%	Quarantine (2008)	" Develops into a legitimately unnerving experience." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 20/100	Rotten 18%	Max Payne (2008)	" The willfully absurd action sequences help the movie slog along, but slog it does, right through to the obligatory after-credits scene to establish the possibility of a franchise." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 75/100	Fresh 88%	Bolt (2008)	" Unmistakably bears the conflicting influence of Pixar and Disney's old ideals." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 60/100	Rotten 20%	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	" Sincere attempt ... to make a poignant blockbuster that will satisfy an audience used to the very different creative prerogatives that surge through Hollywood today." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 55/100	Rotten 51%	Nothing Like the Holidays (2008)	" Same people, different dishes on the dinner table." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 65/100	Fresh 78%	Doubt (2008)	" *The early scenes of Doubt* glide past so smoothly that it's easy to miss the seditious currents underneath.**" Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 40/100	Rotten 55%	My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)	" This one-trick, entirely derivative exercise in old-school slasher tropes doesn't stretch very far." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 65/100	Rotten 32%	Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)	" (Has) a fidelity to the style of the originals without the tangled, overstuffed narrative." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 40/100	Rotten 23%	Push (2009)	" Dashes from genre to genre in search of a reason to exist." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 70/100	Rotten 59%	The International (2009)	" It's helpful to keep in mind that any movie about the evils of corporate culture that's backed by a Hollywood studio has an inescapable identity crisis." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 10/100	Rotten 25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	" A key revelation halfway through the movie lumps Jason into a long, tired tradition of deformed backwoods boys whose motivations weather down to a scorned sense of isolation." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 20/100	Rotten 4%	Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)	" Singularly witless." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 80/100	Fresh 89%	Everlasting Moments (2009)	" Benefits from a scrupulous emotional realism even as it jumps ahead several years at a time." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 70/100	Rotten 42%	The Last House on the Left (2009)	" More a thriller about family ties taken to unimaginable extremes than an attempt to engage with any real subtext." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 65/100	Fresh 65%	Duplicity (2009)	" Adopts old Hollywood mechanics %u2014- showy marquee stars, swift-witted dialogue, character-dominated plot %u2014- and relies on an audience willing to be tricked, surprised and challenged." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 35/100	Rotten 33%	Knowing (2009)	" Trades occasional moments of inspiration for obvious allegory and second-hand action sequences that shoot for stark seriousness but can barely pass for pop spectacle." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 48/100	Rotten 18%	The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)	" To its credit, the movie seems to understand that the primal appeal of these stories lies as much in the appearance of solemn dead people as in the possibility of domestic horrors." Posted Apr 7, 2009
Fresh 75/100	Fresh 88%	Adventureland (2009)	" Light, easy to like and more forthright than one would expect" Posted Apr 7, 2009
Rotten 40/100	Rotten 28%	Fast & Furious (2009)	" Plays like an overgrown parody of the first three movies combined." Posted Apr 7, 2009
