| Moon (2009) | "
For a 'paranoid thriller' to work, the paranoia has to rise and rise until a climax at the finale, not give away the game halfway in." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jul 9, 2009 |

| I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) | "
A miscast and misjudged graduation-night comedy, Cooper occasionally -- only occasionally -- wanders into 'harmless.'" — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jul 9, 2009 |

| Food, Inc. (2009) | "
After you see what IBP is doing to cattle, what Tyson is doing to chickens, what farmers are doing to us and what Monsanto is doing to farmers in the new documentary Food, Inc., you may never eat again." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jul 8, 2009 |

| Bruno (2009) | "
Too often, Brüno feels like Borat's weak-wristed brother, too much of it just a gay cliche aimed straight at the American bigot belt." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jul 8, 2009 |

| Whatever Works (2009) | "
Whatever Works isn't deep, but with Grandpa Woody, you accept the warmed over, the recycled, just relieved he hasn't made a spectacle of himself." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jul 3, 2009 |

| Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) | "
Some of the jokes work. The story seems concocted by a committee of Blackberries. But the 3D CG animation is quite an improvement from the first two films." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 30, 2009 |

| Public Enemies (2009) | "
Anyone doubting the role "charisma" plays in the movies need look no further than Public Enemies, an old fashioned gangster picture built on simple star power." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 30, 2009 |

| Cheri (2009) | "
Frears and his Liaisons screenwriter, Christopher Hampton, give us a period piece in which the settings are fab, but the liaisons aren't dangerous, or even romantic." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 24, 2009 |

| Shall We Kiss? (2008) | "
More quirky than wacky, this winning comedy only hits its romantic high when we return to that framing story, the storyteller who won't casually kiss because she knows, damn well, there's no such thing as a casual 'French' kiss." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 24, 2009 |

| Tyson (2009) | "
It all adds up to a fascinating psychological study, a film that goes beyond both the public persona and the fighter's own spin to get at the frightened, angry, explosive, yet utterly understandable boy who became a very troubled and very public man." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 24, 2009 |

| Away We Go (2009) | "
Away We Go makes a nice metaphor for a rootless, self-involved culture of parents trying to get it right and getting all the wrong advice as they do." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 24, 2009 |

| My Sister's Keeper (2009) | "
Films that present a moral dilemma and make us consider the unthinkable are as rare as bargain popcorn in the summer. Cassavetes manages that feat and turns this weeper into a keeper." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 24, 2009 |

Bullock's longtime fans should be happy to see her fully engaged in a role that suits her and paired, at last, with her comic equal: Reynolds." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 17, 2009 |

| Lifelines (2009) | "
Terrific performances rescue it, from Adams' wounded exhaustion to Pais's comical confusion and Walker's furious defiance, all hurled against Morton's patient 'listening' and advice." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 11, 2009 |

| Easy Virtue (2009) | "
A winning, witty fox trot through the Roaring 20s, when men were men, women were liberating themselves and the 'to the manner born' were losing their grip on their manners -- and manors." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 11, 2009 |

| Every Little Step (2009) | "
Every Little Step is a terrific documentary history lesson about how Michael Bennett rounded up a bunch of New York singing, acting dancers, interviewed them and found out what they 'did for love,' back in January of 1974." — Orlando Sentinel Posted Jun 3, 2009 |

| Up (2009) | "
A feather-light farce with a delicious dose of the sentimental, it isn't the animation company's biggest, most complicated or even its best. It's just a film in which most every oddball element of an odd yet familiar story works." — Orlando Sentinel Posted May 27, 2009 |

All the Wayans in the world (Keenen Ivory Wayans and the least funny of the gang, Shawn Wayans, were lead Wayans' in the all-Wayans script) can't keep this from running out of mildly amusing ideas after 40 minutes." — Orlando Sentinel Posted May 22, 2009 |
