Tomato
91/100

Out of Sight (1998)

"Soderbergh finds the perfect equilibrium between mainstream entertainment and arty panache, lacing this heist movie/romantic comedy with character-motivated time shifting, prominent freeze-frames, a funky soundtrack and an all-around hip vibe."

Radheyan Simonpillai

Tomato
83/100

Paranormal Activity (2009)

"Since the characters feel real, so do the scares. Peli shows a profound grasp of the fundamentals of suspense, making a 30-second shot of an empty bedroom more terrifying than most of what passes for horror these days. That's because Paranormal Activity's"

The Proposal (2009)

"At every turn where The Proposal could have seemingly gone in a less obvious direction, it just puts on the blinders and forges ahead with the cliches of this genre."

Rick Mele

Tomato
74/100

Public Enemies (2009)

"Sure, Public Enemies can still boast Mann's crisp HD aesthetics and stylistic cool but the showdown between Dillinger and Purvis lack ... well ... Heat."

Radheyan Simonpillai

Tomato
87/100

The Road (2009)

"Based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller, The Road primarily transpires within a bleak, post-apocalyptic United States that's been decimated by an unnamed catastrophe -- with the bulk of the narrative following a father (Viggo Mortense"

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)

"Some might confuse Zenovich's indictment on the judge as a cop-out in judging Polanski. But the facts remain. There's no further insight into the heinous crime. Nor is there a new judgment to be passed on the man who committed it. Anyone looking for new r"

A Serious Man (2009)

"Likely to polarize its audience like any open-to-interpretation biblical tale, A Serious Man can be looked at as a film about the meaninglessness of life or as a meaningless film. Either way, there's no denying that only the Coens can make this bla"

A Single Man (2009)

"The clothes, the cars, the furniture -- Los Angeles of the early '60s offers Ford a chance to be gleefully fetishistic about his set pieces, embracing a moment when modern design had reached an undeniable apex. Falconer lives in a glass-and-timber Neutra-"

The Soloist (2009)

"The movie's final attempts at tugging at the viewer's heartstrings ultimately fall flat, and it's consequently impossible to label The Soloist as anything other than a well-intentioned misfire."

David Nusair

Tomato
98/100

Star Trek (2009)

"The other summer tent poles have to stretch mighty high to reach the benchmark set by this soaring and explosive blockbuster. The action never tires in the amped-up Star Trek."

Radheyan Simonpillai

Tomato
71/100

State of Play (2009)

"State of Play is a rare exception to the rule that thrillers are only as good as their twists: it's good almost in spite of its sometimes obvious plot machinations."

Rick Mele

52/100

Surrogates (2009)

"Imagine that your Facebook page, complete with that airbrushed profile photo, can go out into "real" society and leave you at home twiddling your fingers, living vicariously through it. That's the general concept of Surrogates, where humans stay sh"

Survival of the Dead (2009)

"Romero's sixth foray into the world of zombies shows that both he and the genre have run out of gas. Romero's films have always been noteworthy for their delicate balance of comedy and horror -- one minute he could make us laugh and the next we would be j"

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"Director Tony Scott has built a career out of crafting films that have been unabashedly geared toward the testosterone set. It's hard not to admire the R-rated gusto with which Scott has infused this film. It's actually refreshing, in this sanitized, hope"

David Nusair

Tomato
96/100

Taxi Driver (1976)

"Writer Paul Schrader and director Martin Scorsese made names for themselves with this exquisitely crafted window into the contemporary male psyche. Taxi Driver seems aimless, taking as many u-turns and detours as a cabby does in the night. But it's"

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is without a doubt the weakest entry in an otherwise beloved trilogy, but let's be honest, T3 was doomed from the very day franchise creator James Cameron decided to pass on it."

Rick Mele

Tomato
94/100

Three Kings (1999)

"It's amazing how much action can be crammed into a movie about a war where most soldiers didn't actually see any action. Three Kings has its fair share of shootouts, none that are merely squeezed in for guilty pleasures. Every shot fired is motivated by c"

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

"The Time Traveler's Wife stars Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a Chicago man suffering from "chrono-impairment disorder" -- that is, a genetic anomaly that causes him to involuntarily time travel. The defective gene doesn't prevent Henry from meeting"

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

"The Autobots and Decepticons return in this gleefully over-the-top sequel to 2007's successful Transformers, with many of the original's actors reprising their roles -- including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, and Tyrese Gibson. The clutter"

7.5/10

Transporter 2 (2005)

"The original Transporter was a surprise hit in 2002, and this second installment will not disappoint."

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

"If you're not a teenage girl or don't swoon at the sight of Robert Pattinson or a shirtless Taylor Lautner, then surprise, New Moon wasn't made for you. An event movie for girls in the same way every Michael Bay movie is a guilty pleasure for guys, there'"

Tomato
90/100

Up in the Air (2009)

"Though it's far from perfect, Up in the Air is without a doubt Jason Reitman's most mature film to date. In other words, it's his least flawed. A filmmaker who is certainly in tune with his generation, Reitman gives prominent roles to Blackberry an"

Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)

"By glossing over much of the Italian designer's past, Tyrnauer assumes a certain level of familiarity with his subject from his intended audience. If you can't tell Valentino from Versace, you ain't it. That said, The Last Emperor isn't totally ina"

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

"Where the Wild Things Are is far more admirable than it is enjoyable. There's not much of a story to this flight of fancy (more on this later), but Jonze's adaptation is crafted with a striking visual design and a powerful central child performance. In fa"

Whip It (2009)

"Make no mistake, despite the promise of girls in fishnets, Whip It! is a chick flick through and through. It may advertise hot girls in skates hitting each other to get you into the theater, but apart from a few tame shots of Page stripping down, o"

Whiteout (2009)

"All we're given is a lukewarm mystery where frustrating plot holes give way to lackulster conclusions, and even the most furious CGI snowstorms can't obscure the film's telegraphed "twist.""

Year One (2009)

"Need your fix of Black and Cera? We recommend renting School of Rock and Superbad instead of heading to the theater for this one."

Rick Mele

Tomato
92/100

Zombieland (2009)

"Zombieland doesn't find quite the same balance of laughs and scares as Shaun of the Dead did -- it's much heavier on the comedy than the horror -- but its similar focus on three-dimensional characters rather than the genre's typical cardboar"
