| The Twilight Saga: New Moon | "
For me, nothing in 'New Moon' matches the visual excitement of the vampire baseball game in 'Twilight.'" Posted Nov 24, 2009 06:01 AM PST | Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews |

| Surrogates | "
Seems less like a 21st Century would-be blockbuster than a lost 80's relic only just rediscovered. Either way, we're lucky to have it." Posted Nov 24, 2009 04:24 AM PST | Rob Humanick, The Projection Booth |

The soundtrack will be smothered by the sounds of screaming girls, and laughing at them may be the only pleasure you get out of this arduously edited angst fest." Posted Nov 24, 2009 04:06 AM PST | Maddy Myers, Boston Phoenix |

Bella’s confusion about the mystery of boys, adrenaline and testosterone matches her confusion about her soul. For Weitz, it’s all just F/X." Posted Nov 24, 2009 04:01 AM PST | Armond White, The New York Press |

Boring, but I'll say this about New Moon: it appears to have been made by people more familiar with the craft of cinema than Twilight was." Posted Nov 24, 2009 12:23 AM PST | Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy |

Let's be honest: go to see this apocalyptic drama, you're not going for a good time. This desperate and determined story of survival isn't the super effected tilt-a-whirl of, say, the hugely popular disaster epic, 2012." Posted Nov 23, 2009 07:04 PM PST | Joanna Langfield, The Movie Minute |
