    Zombieland (2009)

    " The one-liners and rapid-fire jokes pull Zombieland back in line when the love hearts begin to fill the screen."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

    " Hugh Jackman is this film's biggest redeemer - a truly likeable lead actor with screen presence and menace."

    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."

    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."

    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?"
