The Lovely Bones (2009)

"The film's lack of commitment to any singular theme or idea renders the picture offensive rather than just boring."

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

"A fairly passable end-of-the-year distraction, rendered worthy of a home viewing thanks to strong performances lost amidst a clutter of gratuitous action and CGI."

I Love You, Man (2009)

"If I Love You, Man isn't the best comedy of 2009, that's only because so many contenders have been released this year."

In the Loop (2009)

"Best described as a blend of Dr. Strangelove, This Is Spinal Tap and The Office, director Armando Iannucci has parodied the lunacy of political disinformation and thoughtless rhetoric without his film coming across as a laborious broken reco"

Brüno (2009)

"Bruno is by no means a dull film (clocking in at 80 minutes if you don't count the credits), but it's not going to win people over with the same charm as Borat, either."

"The film is very entertaining, and -- in spite of what some may consider to be a poor approach to documentary filmmaking -- ends up being one of the better comedies I've seen this year. [Dec 2008]"

Pineapple Express (2008)

"The first half of the movie is traditional but enjoyable -- when it turns into a ridiculous self-satire of genre pictures, it makes the first half of the movie a big joke. You almost feel betrayed."

The Hangover (2009)

"While we may live in an era saturated with unnecessary sequels, I actually left The Hangover hoping to see these guys again. And that's a rare feeling these days."

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"Bale will be massacred by overzealous blog culture critics who've been waiting for months to crack relevant jokes about his leaked on-set rant, but he extracts every ounce of potential from the character..."

X-Men Origins - Wolverine (2009)

"By introducing artificial brood, the film draws instant comparison with its superiors, relegating it to a category shared only by the 2003 Hulk as a superhero movie that at once doesn't know whether to wink or Say Something Important."

Milk (2008)

"One of the best films of the year."

The Dark Knight (2008)

"If you see one movie this summer, make sure it's The Dark Knight."
