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

Rotten	Fresh 85%	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)	" The movie could have ended without the last few scenes and been far more tense and suspenseful. As it stands now, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans plays as if Schindler's List ended with an energetic musical performance by The Muppets." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 25, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 28%	Ninja Assassin (2009)	" All of the beheadings and flying body parts are done with CGI, distractingly so, and so quickly and darkly that there's no time to savor the gratuitous gore." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 25, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 70%	The Road (2009)	" It's never clear why the movie needed to be made, unless Hillcoat wanted to show that he could compete with Bela Tarr's 7 � hour Satantango by having just as many endless shots of downtrodden people walking down a dirt road." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 24, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 58%	Missing Person (2009)	" Shannon's complete performance, he moves like The Elephant Man and enunciates like Mickey Rourke, allows Buschel to drift into David Lynch territory without getting drowned in it." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 22, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" The only thing Cohen can do is to throw the character's sexuality in people's faces, but there are several brilliant sequences of baiting and utilizing American gay panic that really hit the satirical button." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 17, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 82%	Thirst (2009)	" *Something must have bored writer/director Chan-wook Park, because the second and third acts of Thirst* play like scenes out of a totally different and much more incoherent film.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 17, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 95%	Star Trek (2009)	" Abrams manages quite well in making $150 million look like an episode of Babylon 5. Fistfights are poorly edited, and when he wants to create excitement and tension, Abrams simply has the camera shake around a lot in close-up." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 17, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 88%	Adventureland (2009)	" Regardless of the well filled-out cast and the fact that it's structured like a comedy, Adventureland just isn't funny. There really aren't jokes and the overlong running time is mostly given to a standard budding romance." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 12, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 64%	Dare (2009)	" Director Adam Salky nails down the notion that when your fantasies come true, sometimes they are awkward and unsatisfying. There's a reason they didn't seem realistic." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 12, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 42%	New York, I Love You (2009)	" Each short ends with thoroughly telegraphed ironic twists. Sometimes the twist is that a star shows up at the end, as if we would be so shocked as to scream "oh my god, it's Christina Ricci!"" — Examiner.com Posted Nov 10, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 82%	Black Dynamite (2009)	" Black Dynamite gets the details right, but so what? The result is like watching rightly vilified movies such as Epic Movie, Date Movie, or Meet The Spartans, but without as many scenes of characters being kicked in the balls." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 10, 2009
N/A	Fresh 82%	Black Dynamite (2009)	" An audio interview with director Scott Sanders and writer/star Michael Jai White." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
N/A	Rotten 22%	The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)	" An audio interview with director Troy Duffy and stars Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 98%	Up (2009)	" Do you like hearing kids screaming and parents rushing their children out of the theater never to return? Me too." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Extract (2009)	" Judge is dealing with his usual subject, the paranoia and indifference of class warfare. How do you keep your front lawn and your pool clean while trying not to look too elitist and well-off?" — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 66%	Away We Go (2009)	" Krasinski and Rudolph have nothing to play. They are a stand-in for the audience in the same way that Styrofoam peanuts protect the contents of your package; lifeless, breakable, malleable, and totally unrelated to what they are assigned to protect." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 76%	The Informant! (2009)	" The exclamation point in the title combined with the burnt orange color scheme and silly haircuts and facial hair tells you all you need to know about Soderbergh's approach." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 45%	Jennifer's Body (2009)	" *There's not a moment in Jennifer's Body* that's intentionally scary, and the characters never reach beyond the level of stereotype.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 74%	Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)	" Five Minutes of Heaven is an almost-great film that gets points for sticking with its confused and conflicted characters as long as it does." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 23%	Sorority Row (2009)	" Over-the-top humor tries to mask the problems, that it's not scary and the ending comes complete with a double-reverse-tricked-itself-out-of-coherency reveal of the killer." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 6%	Whiteout (2009)	" Needed: Generic thriller in an exotic setting, some gore, possible sci-fi elements, female lead, and an older male star to play grizzled supporting character. Must work cheap." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 68%	Grace (2009)	" Grace is just a stretched thin short film, as the mother-in-law with the unsettling maternal issues, the corrupt doctor, and the lesbian midwife material don't fit in." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 63%	Crank High Voltage (2009)	" Copping to how unrealistic your movie is by excusing it (no, no, it's a video game!), rather than running with it, is a mistake that Taylor and Neveldine never recover from." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 56%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" *The star cameos in The Invention of Lying* are non-stop, distracting, and always blatantly pointed out as if this were a Cannonball Run sequel.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Zombieland (2009)	" *Director Ruben Fleischer eventually ignores the need to tie things up neatly in favor of what we came to Zombieland* for, creative ways to kill zombies.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 54%	The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)	" Heslov thinks he's making a Coen Brothers movie, so Clooney and especially Bridges continuously play up how "off" they are, but the source material didn't need any help." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 9, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Bad Blood (1995)	" *It's really the juxtaposition of this stumpy Asian man versus Lamas, the tall, chiseled lone wolf with a ponytail, which makes Bad Blood* work.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 6, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 49%	Antichrist (2009)	" Von Trier throws in every controversial topic and random bit of symbolism to the point where the film plays like a parable about the foolishness of reading into parables." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
N/A	N/A	Shadow Billionaire (2009)	" A podcast with Alexis Spraic, the director of Shadow Billionaire. We talk about how hard it must be to profile a procurer of young Vietnamese and Filipino virgin girls in an objective fashion and how documentaries are often just preaching to the converted" — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Shadow Billionaire (2009)	" *Once the conspiracies start, especially with Hillblom's tendency to, uh, cross-pollinate with young Asian girls, Shadow Billionaire* becomes intensely involving.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 6, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 22%	The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)	" The sequel is just as overlong, filled with gay jokes, gay panic, racial slurs, Keystone Kops humor, ethnic pride, self-satisfied dialogue, and misguided biblical references." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 47%	Whatever Works (2009)	" *The fact that the apartment set seems so stagebound, there's almost no pretense of pretending we're not* on a set, makes the movie quite hollow and canned.*" — Examiner.com* Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 86%	A Serious Man (2009)	" A Serious Man somehow manages to be simultaneously incredibly intimate and autobiographical and yet so unrealistic as to verge on science fiction." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 22%	Law Abiding Citizen (2009)	" It's never clear how we're supposed to feel about Butler and when he's gone too far. Should he kill the judge? Maybe the court clerk for filing the paperwork?" — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 70%	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	" Jonze's choice to once again drain the color from the film and use hand-held camera amidst the surreal is what gives Where the Wild Things Are a strange naturalism different from all other films that tend to be aimed at children." — Examiner.com Posted Nov 6, 2009
