    Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)

    2012 (2009)

    " The two-hour-and-40-minute 2012 is overstuffed with special-effects, but the Curtis clan's mad dash out of town is the closest the movie gets to actually being fun." — Village Voice

    Whip It (2009)

    " Highlights: Andrew Wilson as the roller girls' coach (ah, so there's the Wilson brother who can act) and the roller-derby vets (played especially well by Juliette Lewis and Kristen Wiig)." — Village Voice

    The Informant! (2009)

    " The filmmakers have painted a 1990s story with a 1970s palette, and the tone clashes with the setting, like plaid on paisley." — Village Voice

    It Might Get Loud (2009)

    " Marketed as a guitar summit between The Edge, Jimmy Page, and Jack White, Davis Guggenheim's affectionate, intermittently insightful behind-the-music doc is more electric triptych than meeting of the minds." — Village Voice

    Paper Heart (2009)

    " Cera begins ingratiating himself into Yi's quest, but that part of the story is doomed from jump: It's entertaining for a moment, but hardly as enlightening or endearing as the from-the-heart moments surrounding it." — Village Voice

    Julie & Julia (2009)

    In the Loop (2009)

    " This deliriously foul-mouthed political satire is set sometime between 2002 and the day after tomorrow; hard to say, given that the country with which U.S. and U.K. pols want to go to war is unnamed save for its location in, you know, the Middle East." — L.A. Weekly

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
