    Everybody's Fine (2009)

    " hough Bobby won't make you forget Marcello Mastroianni's Matteo Scuro, the once-great thespian doesn't coast here in his understated performance as widower Frank Goode."

    The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)

    The Stepfather (2009)

    " If you call a film The Stepfather, then your title character -- in this case, David Harris (Dylan Walsh) -- should have the decency to marry into that perfect little family that he’s predisposed to butcher and kill."

    Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)

    " It's easy to see what attracted Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt (Bloody Sunday) to Prime Suspect veteran Guy Hibbert's screenplay: it's an actor's showcase."

    Still Walking (2009)

    " As opposed to Ozu’s haiku-like dialogue, Koreeda’s exchanges unfold with an everyday homeliness; he subtly reveals seething resentments and regrets while never losing sight of his characters’ fallible humanity."

    9 (2009)

    " Even if the story doesn't benefit from being stretched to nearly 80 minutes, the post-apocalyptic plains (scorched from a retro-futuristic man/machine war) and Steampunk designs will divert attention from the narrative deficiencies."

    Blood: The Last Vampire (2009)

    " Despite inserting a jumble of backstory into his live-action take on an action experiment from Japanese animation studio Production I.G, director Chris Nahon captures some of the visceral thrills of the nine-year-old anime."
