	Title Critic	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Bride Wars Tom Maurstad	01/09/09	Weak	"...not just witless and boring, it's insulting."
2.	Chandni Chowk to China Cary Darling	01/16/09	Very Good	"...so energetic and cheesy that it's hard not to be charmed by it."
3.	Inkheart Nancy Churnin	01/23/09	Very Good	"...some dazzling performances, fantastical moments and mixed results."
4.	Outlander Cary Darling	01/23/09	Good	"...unexpectedly enjoyable... never devolves into kitsch and is decently written and well-acted... more entertaining than most might expect."
5.	New in Town Michael Granberry	01/30/09	Fair	"...meant to be a winsome romantic comedy, which might have been able to reach its destiny if it didn't have to chop its way through a thicket of stereotypes and bad jokes."
6.	He's Just Not That Into You Tom Maurstad	02/06/09	Good	"...a movie that stays on its feet. Scenes and exchanges convey that rarest of qualities in romantic comedies, they seem genuine..."
7.	Coraline Tom Maurstad	02/06/09	Outstanding	"...the best kind of children's entertainment..."
8.	Chocolate Cary Darling	02/06/09	Excellent	"...a wantonly politically incorrect, wildly enjoyable blast of Thai martial-arts mayhem... about as kid-friendly as a bar brawl and as sensitive as a kick to the head."
9.	Confessions of a Shopaholic Tom Maurstad	02/13/09	Fair	"There's a wearying, wearing franticness to this comedy that manages to waste the talents of everyone, starting with its leading lady, brilliant comic actress Isla Fisher."
10.	The International Tom Maurstad	02/13/09	Moderate	"With no characters to develop and no deepening story to tell, the director is left to fill the screen with mayhem, which he does with a vengeance..."
11.	Two Lovers Tom Maurstad	02/27/09	Good (Not Great)	"The performances are strong, but the screenplay, co-written by Gray and Richard Menello, underserves by leaving too much unexplained or unexplainable."
12.	Watchmen Tom Maurstad	03/06/09	Good (Not Great)	"...a dense and dizzying work that mixes philosophy, history and literature with pulp fiction, tabloid sensationalism and pop psychology."
13.	The Last House on the Left (2009) Tom Maurstad	03/13/09	Very Good	"...is its own experience. It seems less a remake of a decades-old horror movie than a reaction to more current ones."
14.	I Love You, Man Christopher Kelly	03/20/09	Good	"...manages to be very funny.... Segel struts through this movie with an easy-does-it charm, revealing earnestness and even depth..."
15.	Sunshine Cleaning Rob Lowman	03/20/09	Very Good	"It's a little hard at first imagining such vibrant actresses as Amy Adams and Emily Blunt playing loser sisters... but they have you believing in their characters..."
16.	The Cross (2009) Cary Darling	03/27/09	Moderate	"...doesn't even begin to tell the half of it.... What inspired his faith in the first place? Does he have family? How did his constant wandering affect them?"
17.	Adventureland Christopher Kelly	04/03/09	Very Good	"...has so much going for it that you wish the final emotional impact was greater."
18.	Alien Trespass Cary Darling	04/03/09	Good (Not Great)	"Neither as terrifying as the movies it's channeling were meant to be in their time nor as funny as a pure sendup would have been... neither fish nor foul..."
19.	Hannah Montana: The Movie Nancy Churnin	04/10/09	Very Good	"Miley has said this will be her only 'Hannah Montana' movie... Fortunately, she's left her fans with a sweet aftertaste for this phase of her career."
20.	Observe and Report Christopher Kelly	04/10/09	Poor	"Aggressively mean and even more aggressively stupid... bound to become a cult classic for a certain type of moviegoer - the kind who enjoys a side dish of nihilism with his popcorn."
