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

Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 89%	Zombieland (2009)	" The one-liners and rapid-fire jokes pull Zombieland back in line when the love hearts begin to fill the screen." Posted Nov 30, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 57%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" It's a shame that the air gets let out of this one so suddenly, as if The Invention of Lying's backbone gets ripped out of the film as the final act kicks into gear." Posted Nov 17, 2009
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 87%	A Serious Man (2009)	" It's also a dark, sometimes profound film that almost certainly sits amongst the best of this year and it's yet another badge on the decorated jackets of Hollywood's most accomplished filmmaking duo." Posted Nov 15, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 39%	2012 (2009)	" Terrible; wonderfully terrible." Posted Nov 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	Paranormal Activity (2009)	" The suspense that's missing from so many horror films is there. It's a genuinely scary film -- and that's a rare thing to accomplish in front of today's blase, switched-off audiences." Posted Oct 27, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 44%	The Box (2009)	" It may fall short of Donnie Darko's clever storytelling, but for his third feature film, Kelly plays confidently with suspense and lays down the right hooks at the right time to keep you drawn into his creepy world." Posted Oct 21, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	Fresh 67%	The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)	" Doctor Parnassus parallels Terry Gilliam and his most recent work: many complex ideas, grand intentions and miserable luck leading him down a path to nowhere, forcing him to start over with nothing one more time." Posted Sep 28, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 68%	Funny People (2009)	" While not Judd Apatow's finest hour, Funny People still strikes the same rich vein of well-produced drama-comedy as previous efforts." Posted Sep 8, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	Moon (2009)	" In an era when grey-shaded Hollywood drudge can cost hundreds of millions and deliver nothing, Moon stands out -- and it does so with dignity." Posted Sep 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" Completely absorbing and intense. As audiences are compelled early in the film to "learn from what has happened", Blomkamp uses District 9 to quietly remind us that it's too late for some." Posted Aug 10, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 50%	Observe and Report (2009)	" It's not consistently on-the-money, but Observe and Report's subversive humour should be applauded – even if it isn't as witty as it thinks it is." Posted May 11, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 37%	X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)	" Hugh Jackman is this film's biggest redeemer - a truly likeable lead actor with screen presence and menace." Posted Apr 27, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 64%	Watchmen (2009)	" It's the Watchmen movie you always wanted to see but never expected to get." Posted Feb 23, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 94%	The Dark Knight (2008)	" Heath Ledger's Joker is, in many ways, symbolic of Nolan's overall success with The Dark Knight; subtle and restrained, but always two shakes shy of bloody holocaust and a masterpiece of cinema that time will verify." Posted Jul 17, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 66%	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	" It's a step in the right direction with some top-notch moments, and hardcore fans will still walk away with a giddy smile - but it's not in the same sort of league as Spider-Man 2, Iron Man or Batman Begins." Posted Jun 13, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 77%	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	" When Indy swings a punch or delivers a biting retort, audiences sit up and listen with looks of adoration and reverence. It's all one big spectacle, after all – so why begrudge the old guy one last adventure?" Posted May 19, 2008
