Ether a ludicrously bad movie or a parody of same. Either way, it's pretty funny." — New York Post Posted Jun 26, 2009 |

| The Hurt Locker (2009) | "
Despite its pumped-up admiration for our troops and some scenes that spurt adrenaline like a fire hose, this sort-of-thriller about a bomb squad working in 2004 is stretched both timewise and for plausibility." — New York Post Posted Jun 26, 2009 |

Fans of deadpan comic fantasy writers like Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut are likely to be intrigued by this lively little packet of weird -- then dive like a dolphin into Keret's loopy story volumes." — New York Post Posted Jun 19, 2009 |

| Year One (2009) | "
Year One is nowhere near as funny as the ancient-civilization movies I saw in high school: Life of Brian, History of the World Part I, Caligula. Its script isn't worth the papyrus it's inscribed on." — New York Post Posted Jun 19, 2009 |

| Sex Positive (2009) | "
For gays who remember the nightmare, Sex Positive may be too depressing to watch. But the movie strikes a cautionary tone for a younger generation that, it says, isn't taking the HIV threat seriously." — New York Post Posted Jun 12, 2009 |

Trading on now-familiar gross-out tactics (images of corporate slaughterhouses and chicken sheds), the movie offers very little that food radicals don't already know." — New York Post Posted Jun 12, 2009 |

Though we love pretentious grand sci-fi, this film feels kind of thin, just a corporate scandal-philosoph'cal show." — New York Post Posted Jun 12, 2009 |

Mike Tyson is a damaged man but a man nonetheless. Dismissing him as an animal, a habit he sometimes falls into himself, is an error. His mind is far from empty, although it's a lonely, haunted place, and Tyson is a howl of humanity." — New York Post Posted Apr 24, 2009 |
