	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Bride Wars Washington Post	01/09/09	Poor	"Predictable, lazy and as overprocessed as Kate Hudson's hair... possesses a deep nasty streak, making it loathsome when it might have been merely annoying."
2.	Not Easily Broken Washington Post	01/09/09	Outstanding	"...falls prey to many of the usual shortcomings of movies that secretly want to be sermons.... suffers from its share of starchy contrivance and didacticism."
3.	Inkheart Washington Post	01/23/09	Outstanding	"...for young teens in its demographic wheelhouse, 'Inkheart' packs a welcome amount of entertainment value, creating a genuinely original world of enchantment..."
4.	He's Just Not That Into You Washington Post	02/06/09	Fair	"...so busy getting all its talking points in that it leaves no room for recognizable life..."
5.	The International Washington Post	02/13/09	Very Good	"...a sleek, stylish thriller... There are worse ways to spend a day than watching Clive Owen do anything, let alone look cool in lots of attractive locations."
6.	Cherry Blossoms (Hanami) Washington Post	02/20/09	Excellent	"...succeeds mostly at the hands of cinematographer Hanno Lentz, whose keen eye for location and detail give the movie much of its verve."
7.	Two Lovers Washington Post	02/27/09	Very Good	"...reminds audiences of what a charismatic actor the movies would lose in Phoenix..."
8.	Of Time and the City Washington Post	03/12/09	Outstanding	"...engrossing, moving, amusing -- and poetic, and meditative -- all at once.... it soars as an example of the cinematic essay at its finest."
9.	Crossing Over Washington Post	03/13/09	Weak	"...the kind of movie that gives Hollywood liberalism not a bad name, nor a good name, but an irritating, self-righteous and ultimately fatuous name."
10.	I Love You, Man Washington Post	03/20/09	Outstanding	"Whether you love 'I Love You, Man' will most likely depend on whether you love Paul Rudd. And if you don't love Paul Rudd, you should."
11.	The Edge of Love Washington Post	03/20/09	Moderate	"...the film finally never quite convinces viewers of its central subject: the sisterly, almost sapphic bond between Vera and Caitlin."
12.	Absurdistan Washington Post	03/27/09	Outstanding	"An infectious spirit of whimsy, eroticism and wonder infuses 'Absurdistan,' a beguiling romantic fable set in a fictional Caucasian backwater."
13.	Monsters vs. Aliens Washington Post	03/27/09	Moderate	"...has bells and whistles, whiz and bang, sound and fury. It even has Reese Witherspoon. What it doesn't have is heart. Or soul. Or much of a story."
14.	Hunger (2009) Washington Post	04/03/09	Outstanding	"Steve McQueen, a Turner Prize-winning artist who has become a sensation on the museum circuit, has made a film as dazzling as it is unsettling."
15.	Adventureland Washington Post	04/03/09	Outstanding	"...manages to capture the absurdity and anguish of young adulthood, while never sacrificing meaning on the altar of crude humor..."
16.	State of Play Washington Post	04/17/09	Excellent	"...it's a burbling stream of sentimental nostalgia for the old ways that make an otherwise routine procedural something of modest but no less significant value."
17.	The Soloist Washington Post	04/24/09	Outstanding	"...suffused with heartbreak and humanism... a spiritual meditation on friendship."
18.	Sugar (2009) Washington Post	05/01/09	Outstanding	" 'Sugar' gets the sports right, which will guarantee its appeal to baseball fans. But more important, it gets the soul right, which makes it a must-see for everyone."
19.	Star Trek (2009) Washington Post	05/07/09	Outstanding	"Most of all, thanks and praise for that very starship itself: the USS Enterprise, the shiny, brand-new craft where these spiky, ambitious young Turks gather..."
20.	Goodbye Solo Washington Post	05/08/09	Outstanding	"...unfolds with such ease that it's hard to believe it wasn't entirely improvised.... visually simple and stunning... driven by deep feeling and sensitivity. Don't miss it."
