	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Bride Wars New York Post	01/09/09	Poor	"Candice Bergen seems intensely bored as the wedding planner... As for the bland actors stuck playing the hapless grooms, we'll spare them further embarrassment."
2.	Yonkers Joe New York Post	01/09/09	Moderate	"An extremely awkward cross between 'Ocean's Eleven' and 'Rain Man'... a mawkish tale of a crooked gambler who has a 17-year-old son with Down syndrome."
3.	Chandni Chowk to China New York Post	01/16/09	Good (Not Great)	"...fun but somewhat exhausting, with several elaborate production numbers, a bullet-proof umbrella that also serves as a parachute, a magical potato... over 2½ hours..."
4.	Of Time and the City New York Post	01/21/09	Outstanding	"...weaves a mesmerizing tapestry out of archival footage, revisiting Liverpool's postwar poverty, crumbling homes and the massively ugly housing projects that replaced them."
5.	Donkey Punch New York Post	01/23/09	Moderate	"You could call 'Donkey Punch' a female revenge movie. But you could just as easily characterize it as fairly well-executed exploitation."
6.	The Lodger New York Post	01/23/09	Poor	"...wasting their time in this preposterous bore are Hope Davis as a possibly delusional landlady, Simon Baker in the title role, and Rachael Leigh Cook as Molina's daughter."
7.	Shadows New York Post	01/30/09	Moderate	"Essentially 'Poltergeist' with lovely Macedonian locations and abundant female nudity... visually striking but gets bogged down in supernatural clichés.... a deceased hottie (Vesna Stanojevska) literally beckons our hero to some postmortem sex."
8.	New in Town New York Post	01/30/09	Poor	"This movie's idea of Minnesota - we won't embarrass the credited writers - seems to have been entirely gleaned from watching 'Fargo' on TV in the middle of the night..."
9.	Between Love & Goodbye New York Post	01/30/09	Weak	"...a dreary gay soap opera... Kyle and Marcel's relationship is threatened by Marcel's promiscuity - and by their houseguest, Kyle's sister April (Rob Harmon), a former male who abruptly decides he wants to be a guy again.... the movie is a snooze."
10.	Coraline New York Post	02/06/09	Outstanding	"...an ideal way to experience the tactile delights of stop-motion... This is perhaps the most effective 3-D movie I have ever seen..."
11.	Fanboys New York Post	02/06/09	Moderate	"...a lame comic tribute to the dwindling band of 'Star Wars' aficionados.... lazily recycles jokes from the likes of 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'..."
12.	He's Just Not That Into You New York Post	02/06/09	Moderate	"...basically a PG-13 version of the 2007 'Sex and the City' movie minus the designer shoes and the laughs... Guys, let her drag you to see this one at your peril."
13.	The Caller (2009) New York Post	02/13/09	Poor	"Frank Langella looks dapper as a corporate whistle-blower whose execution has been ordered by his employers. He inexplicably hires a rumpled retired NYPD detective (a mildly amusing Elliott Gould) to follow... himself."
14.	Under the Sea 3D New York Post	02/13/09	Very Good	"The 3-D effects are uncanny; much of the audience ducked when sea snakes lunged at it. You can't get that on your TV set. Yet."
15.	The International New York Post	02/13/09	Weak	"...a procession of eyeball-glazing, head-scratching speeches and aphorisms only occasionally punctuated by the odd assassination of an Italian politician."
16.	Fired Up! New York Post	02/20/09	Moderate	"...an occasionally amusing, sometimes horrifying misogynistic, homophobic and half-heartedly satiric mash-up of 'American Pie,' 'Porky's' and 'Bring It On'..."
17.	Eleven Minutes New York Post	02/20/09	Moderate	"...the rare documentary that admirably admits recording 'reality' on film actually shapes how people behave under the camera's gaze..."
18.	Crossing Over New York Post	02/27/09	Weak	"...the issues are not explored in any depth. They get less time than the movie's comic-relief story line... Jim Sturgess poses as an expert in Judaism to get his green card."
19.	12 (2009) New York Post	03/04/09	Outstanding	"...a loose remake that's not only as Russian as vodka but also a grippingly entertaining actors' showcase.... does honor to the spirit of the original."
20.	Reunion (2009) New York Post	03/06/09	Poor	"Journeyman character actors such as Jessica Hecht and Cynthia Stevenson head the cast. No one's problems inspire much interest, and the stuffy banality of the dialogue is multiplied by the lackluster surroundings."
