	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	(500) Days of Summer Orlando Sentinel	07/31/09	Excellent	"...a romantic comedy that remembers that the best romances have a touch of the bittersweet.... Even the arguments are cute."
2.	Casino Jack and the United States of Money Washington Post	05/07/10	Moderate	"Does it shock you? You must not live in Washington, read the newspaper or follow politics. Are you horrified? Congratulations, and now wise up."
3.	Departures Washington Post	06/19/09	Very Good	"...as polished as it is heavy-handed, and it leaves one under a spell. Death is a hard subject to focus on for two hours, and the film never drags."
4.	Disgrace Washington Post	10/02/09	Excellent	"...captures about all there is to capture in the novel 'Disgrace,' which is a remarkable accomplishment for a film..."
5.	Donkey Punch Washington Post	02/13/09	Poor	"...well acted and at times cleverly directed... But it is a very ugly film, almost humorless, and laden with a decidedly British, and repellent, class obsession."
6.	Herb & Dorothy Washington Post	07/03/09	Poor	"...more a part of the Vogels phenomenon than it is a serious analysis or reconsideration of an already familiar story."
7.	In the Loop Washington Post	07/24/09	Fair	"...tremendous fun, at times... But it has no view of politics, no seriousness, no message and in the end, no redeeming value beyond entertainment."
8.	Is Anybody There? Washington Post	05/01/09	Very Good	"...sweet if not terribly innovative..."
9.	Lemon Tree (Etz Limon) Washington Post	05/01/09	Outstanding	"...explores the painful human detail of life in a society warped from within and without by terrorism... Powerlessness is felt on both sides..."
10.	New York, I Love You Washington Post	10/16/09	Good	"...a compendium of short films, woven together into a light but enjoyable souffle of erotic vignettes.... It's fun, but decadent."
11.	Shrink Washington Post	07/31/09	Fair	"...no worse than the average Hollywood comedy. But it shows, more obviously than most, the bankruptcy of standard-issue American pop narrative, circa 2009."
12.	The Cove Washington Post	08/07/09	Very Good	"...for all its investment in one side of a bitter controversy, it does what brute agitprop often fails to do by including some sense that there are other sides to the argument."
13.	The Garden Washington Post	05/15/09	Very Good	"The battle over the South Central Farm made headlines... bulldozers razed what seemed to its mostly Hispanic cultivators a little bit of paradise..."
14.	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Washington Post	06/12/09	Weak	"...a bit like the city itself: If a few decent actors play their roles and defend their turf, it doesn't matter how preposterous the whole proposition is."
15.	Tokyo Sonata Washington Post	07/17/09	Excellent	"...has a melodious title, and by the end it accomplishes one of the most memorable integrations of film and music in recent memory."
16.	Tokyo! Washington Post	04/10/09	Moderate	"...it's not clear what these odd, often surreal and sometimes touching cinematic short stories have to do with one another."
17.	Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail Washington Post	02/21/09	Excellent	"...add Madea into the mix, and Perry's dramas take a strange, postmodern twist, mixing genera and tone and leaving reality in uncertain circumstances."
18.	Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman Washington Post	11/06/09	Very Good	"Julius Shulman's long and productive career makes for a fascinating primer in modern architecture, Los Angeles culture and the meaning of a well-lived life."
19.	Watchmen Washington Post	03/05/09	Weak	"...a bore.... long, dull and subject to what might be called the 'Lord of the Rings' problem: It sinks under the weight of its reverence for the original."
