	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Cargo 200 New York Post	01/02/09	Very Good	"...a wicked black comedy from Russia.... bold filmmaking that will turn off many moviegoers. Others, like this critic, will find much of value in this parable about life in Russia, both pre- and post-Putin."
2.	Silent Light New York Post	01/07/09	Outstanding	"...his most mature work yet.... With 'Silent Light,' Carlos Reygadas takes his place among the leading directors working today."
3.	Just Another Love Story New York Post	01/09/09	Very Good	"...a creative mix of horror, noir and psychological thriller. At times the story defies logic, but viewers who can accept that will find themselves caught up in the film's intensity."
4.	Cherry Blossoms (Hanami) New York Post	01/16/09	Moderate	"...at more than two hours, 'Cherry Blossoms' could do with some pruning. And do husband and wife have to have rhyming names?"
5.	Ballerina New York Post	01/16/09	Very Good	"...will be of interest mostly to balletomanes, but even folks who don't know their right foot from their left will find inspiration in the lives of these devoted dancers."
6.	California Dreamin' New York Post	01/23/09	Excellent	"We will never know how the film would have turned out had Nemescu lived to finish it. As it is, the movie goes on longer than the story warrants... But, for now at least, we have to be content with this pleasing comedy in search of an editor."
7.	Medicine for Melancholy New York Post	01/30/09	Very Good	"Nothing momentous happens - nor do we expect it to - but it is fun watching the two 20-somethings playing off each other."
8.	Our City Dreams New York Post	02/04/09	Very Good	"Chiara Clemente was introduced to cinema (Godard, Fellini, Antonioni, etc.) by her father and has been shooting documentaries (including one about Francesco Clemente) since 2000."
9.	Life. Support. Music. New York Post	02/06/09	Moderate	"...inspiring enough to connect with viewers on its own terms. Metzgar, however, insists on accentuating everything with self-conscious visual tricks and gushy voiceover. Perhaps the film should be called 'Life. Support. Music. Pretension.' "
10.	Memorial Day (2009) New York Post	02/06/09	Poor	"The storyless movie is divided roughly into two parts. The first is in 'Girls Gone Wild' mode, only raunchier and more disturbing.... But wait. Without warning, the revelers morph into US troops abusing Iraqi civilians in an Abu Ghraib setting."
11.	2009 Oscar Nominated Shorts New York Post	02/06/09	Moderate	"I enjoyed the Russian animated comedy 'Lavatory-Lovestory,' which answers the question: Is it possible to have G-rated fun in a public men's room?"
12.	Gomorrah New York Post	02/13/09	Outstanding	"...the source of the story is 'Gomorrah: Italy's Other Mafia,' a best-seller that earned its 20-something author, Roberto Saviano, a mob death threat..."
13.	Delhi 6 New York Post	02/20/09	Weak	"It would have been nice if the director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, had concentrated on the love story. but he had to throw in a jumble of subplots..."
14.	Examined Life New York Post	02/25/09	Very Good	"You have to hand it to filmmaker Astra Taylor. She knows how to take the dullness out of talking heads, the mainstay (and downfall) of countless documentaries."
15.	Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead New York Post	02/27/09	Moderate	"...thoughtful if dry... Blecker comes across as an arrogant fool who thinks he has the power to decide who should live and who should die."
16.	The Trouble With Romance New York Post	02/27/09	Poor	"The toilet caper is the lowest point of a movie with many low points, including bad acting and a generic script.... You can see junk like this any night on cable TV, so why waste time and money going out?"
17.	Tokyo! New York Post	03/06/09	Very Good	"...isn't likely to make many best-of-2009 lists, but its originality in an era of cookie-cutter moviemaking is greatly appreciated."
18.	Fados New York Post	03/06/09	Very Good	"There are no talking heads, but lots of singing heads and sexy dancing bodies... In total, there are more than a dozen performance pieces, all stylishly lensed."
19.	Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America New York Post	03/13/09	Very Good	"...one of the oddest movies I've seen in a while - and that's a good thing. Moviegoers used to Hollywood cookie-cutter fare are going to hate the film..."
20.	The Cake Eaters New York Post	03/13/09	Very Good	"...it is a shame that it took two years for this sweet, intelligent drama to get a release before heading for DVD. But such is the sad state of the movie business."
