500 Days of Summer (2009) |
"Oh, (500) Days of Summer, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways -- out of order, and from a list of, well, 500 (you'll know why when you see it)..." |

Scott A. Mantz |
Splat 2/5 |
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"It's visually stunning and all, but this is one version of A Christmas Carol that the world can probably live without. Humbug!" |
Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 4/5 |
District 9 (2009) |
"The most gripping, intriguing and compelling sci-fi allegory to grace the big screen since 1968's 'Planet of the Apes' -- and that makes it an instant sci-fi classic in its own right." |
Scott A. Mantz |
Splat 2/5 |
Duplicity (2009) |
"Too convoluted to be romantic, too confusing to be an effective caper and too long to be entertaining." |
Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Funny People (2009) |
"It could have been a great movie, but instead it's only a good one, mostly because it forgot the first rule of comedy: leave them wanting more, not wanting to leave." |

Tomato 4/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"The Hangover is sure to make moviegoers laugh so hard that their heads will hurt (in a good way, of course)." |

Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Observe and Report (2009) |
"A dark, daring and very funny R-rated comedy that wears its penchant for bad taste like a badge of honor." |
Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"This is one seriously scary movie, and the full effect of how terrifying it is won't even hit you until 3am, when you're jolted awake by the things that go bump in the night." |
Scott A. Mantz |
Splat 2/5 |
Public Enemies (2009) |
"It lacks the cinematic gravitas to stand alongside classic gangster epics like 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'The Untouchables.'" |
Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 4/5 |
The September Issue (2009) |
"An excellent documentary that's fast-paced, funny and deeply engaging." |

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) |
"The narrative is choppy, the pace is slow, it's way too long and, well, not a lot really happens." |
Scott A. Mantz |
Tomato 5/5 |
Up (2009) |
"The sheer brilliance of Up lies in its ability to make something so deep, profound and complex seem so innocent, fun and simple." |
Scott A. Mantz |
