The Princess and the Frog (2009)

" It doesn't tread much new ground, but that's beside the point. The lack of a black princess in Disney's repertoire was as appalling as it was glaring. This otherwise excellent film makes a solid effort to remedy that."

Public Enemies (2009)

" Depp's performance overcomes every flaw in the film. He ends up playing Dillinger exactly as he should be--suave, mysterious, romantic, but with obvious elements of cruelty and unbridled violence."

Everybody's Fine (2009)

" The gag-inducing melodrama "Everybody's Fine" hails from Kirk Jones, whose phone calls, kisses and hugs no longer will be returned the moment this baby hits theaters."

Old Dogs (2009)

" "Old Dogs" also wants to entertain the adults in the audience. Frankly, any adult who finds this film humorous may be at the same level of intelligence as their child and someone should call child services immediately."

Ninja Assassin (2009)

" It's a wild mess, and it commits the worst crime a messy film can make--it completely lacks entertainment. It's an overly violent, unintelligible bore."

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

" Had the audience at my screening heaving and sighing so often, here's a recommendation: Bring an oxygen tank. You'll need it and a mask, particularly in the presence of so much heaving and sighing and busy shirtlessness."

Planet 51 (2009)

" It's cute, it's passable, the animation is fine--but the major problem with the film is its predictability."

The Blind Side (2009)

" By avoiding excessive cliche and maintaining a simple and optimistic attitude throughout, and with a healthy dose of comedy, "The Blind Side" ends up being one of the best sports films of recent years."

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

" Begins with the subtitle: "More of this is true than you would believe." It's the perfect beginning to a film that deftly combines truth and fiction."

2012 (2009)

" What's so frustrating about "2012" is that it could have been a great action movie. If the special effects team can do their jobs, certainly better writers could have been hired. But no. Just try finding a surprise."

Pirate Radio (2009)

" Though the sum isn't quite as good as the parts, the film does succeed due to its phenomenal cast, which consists of some of the best British actors working today. Philip Seymour Hoffman gives one of his most entertaining performances."

Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)

" What's curious about the movie is that you can tart it up all you want, but Dickens' words still resonate, his characters still infuriate, frighten and touch, and there's still satisfaction to be had in his tale."

The Fourth Kind (2009)

" The film doesn't deliver any frights or creepiness. The so-called shocking parts are revealed in the trailer. The rest feels as if moments have been stitched together to make a whole."

The Box (2009)

Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009)

" What "This is It" accomplishes is key to not only preserving Jackson's memory, but also to galvanizing his myth. Onstage, he still moonwalks, but there are new moves to be had here and a voice that is still strong."

Couples Retreat (2009)
