Bride Wars

Peter Travers
01/09/09 Poor "...isn't just chick-flick hell for guys, it should numb the skulls of moviegoers of all sexes and ages."
2.

Notorious

Peter Travers
01/23/09 Good (Not Great) "What keeps you riveted to Biggie's official story is the actor who plays him. A new star is born in Jamal Woolard, who defines what it means to hypnotize."
3.

Coraline

Peter Travers
01/23/09 Very Good "...those who tough it out with this twisted, trippy adventure in impure imagination will only be the better for it."
4.

Two Lovers

Peter Travers
01/23/09 Very Good "...tender and terrific... an acute vision of love as a battle with loneliness. It'll get to you."
5.

Gomorrah

Peter Travers
01/23/09 Outstanding "...brilliant filmmaking... a wake-up call that means to shake you, and does."
6.

New in Town

Peter Travers
01/30/09 Poor "The thudding sounds you hear at 'New In Town' are jokes landing like lead balloons and conking the life out of the actors."
7. 01/30/09 Poor "Shoot me now!"
8. 02/06/09 Weak "...drags out the script by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein for a punishing two hours and ten minutes. Here's a true S&M date movie."
9.

Taken

Peter Travers
02/06/09 Moderate "...this guilty pleasure, directed at whiplash speed by Pierre Morel, will go down much easier on DVD with a few beers and a slice of pizza with extra cheese."
10.

Pink Panther 2

Peter Travers
02/06/09 Poor "Wasn't it bad enough the first time (back in 2006) gaping at Steve Martin trying to clone the stumbling gait and terrible French accent of the great Peter Sellers?"
11.

Crossing Over

Peter Travers
02/20/09 Good (Not Great) "...has the vibe of a movie that's been kicked around -- hard.... Sean Penn shot a small part that has now been eliminated. Why?"
12. 02/20/09 Moderate "...marginally better than this year's other chick flicks... no more than a painless time-waster. But the beguiling Fisher is well worth the investment."
13.

The International

Peter Travers
02/20/09 Good (Not Great) "...a decent thriller that should have been dazzling... it's too bad that 'The International' goes Hollywood when today's headlines show that fact easily trumps fiction."
14.

Eleven Minutes

Peter Travers
02/20/09 Good (Not Great) "A documentary that tracks the winner of a reality show -- in this case Bravo's 'Project Runway' -- after his victory. Huh? But it busts a few fresh moves."
15. 02/27/09 Moderate "It's no mystery that the target audience for this G-rated bubblegum fantasy is tweens, parents of tweens and the occasional pervert."
16. 03/06/09 Very Good "Let Clarkson and Fanning take you to the rabbit hole of seductive enchantment that defines this movie. And don't ask what to do -- jump."
17.

Watchmen

Peter Travers
03/06/09 Good (Not Great) "...stumbles and sometimes falls on its top-heavy ambitions. But there are also flashes of visual brilliance and performances..."
18.

Sunshine Cleaning

Peter Travers
03/06/09 Very Good "...funny and touching... depends on two can-do actresses to scrub past the biohazard of noxious clichés that threaten to intrude."
19.

Monsters vs. Aliens

Peter Travers
03/20/09 Good (Not Great) "...there's enough merry mischief here to satisfy, even if you're way past puberty."
20.

I Love You, Man

Peter Travers
03/20/09 Very Good "It's the variations that Rudd and Segel spin on this theme that make the movie hugely enjoyable. There's no one better than Rudd at putting an affable face on awkwardness."
