Tomato	35 Shots of Rum (2009)	"Several sequences have little to no dialogue but give us a rich, ambivalent view of the characters and their feelings ... . It's a directorial risk that pays off with an indelible experience."	Andy Klein
Tomato	An Education (2009)	"... entertaining and perceptive, and distinguished by Mulligan's infectious presence."	Andy Klein
Splat	Angels & Demons (2009)	"It [has] the sort of exposition that gives exposition a bad name."	Andy Klein
Splat	Antichrist (2009)	"Von Trier's previous sorties into torturing the audience ...were structured around issues of faith, God ... and the human condition. This time around, however, the thrust is either incoherent or so complex as to require a sharper mind than my own."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)	"Your reaction to the whole thing probably depends on your general feelings about Cage: Fans will relish his unique brand of scenery-chewing; non-fans are likely to be irritated."	Andy Klein
Splat	Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009)	"The result is at times genuinely suspenseful ... and if the final twist doesn't drive you crazy, the cleverness may win you over."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Bruno (2009)	"I thought it was hysterical. I'm just not sure I'll respect myself in the (metaphorical) morning."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)	"It's not ... that he's entirely opposed to capitalism; what he's really going after is the corporatism that has made profit a goal beyond all ethical considerations."	Andy Klein
Splat	Cold Souls (2009)	"Had Cold Souls come out exactly a decade earlier, it would have seemed utterly original and daring ... because it would have beaten Being John Malkovich to the screen by a few months."	Andy Klein
Tomato	District 9 (2009)	"We've seen most of the film's elements before ... but all these ideas have never been assembled in exactly this manner before, let alone with Blomkamp's wit and style."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	"Raimi doesn't merely pull out all the stops in his new horror film.... He pulls them out, purees them, stews the pulp in phlegm and vomit, pours us a nice bowlful and then throws it right in our faces. I mean that in the nicest possible way."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Extract (2009)	"It doesn't seem as fresh as Office Space or likely to achieve the same sort of iconic status, but there are enough laughs here to justify the time."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)	"... refreshingly different from the rest of the genre."	Andy Klein
Splat	Funny People (2009)	"Apatow packs enough decent jokes into an hour and a half to earn our affection. The problem is that after that hour and a half the movie goes on for nearly another hour, for a grand total of 2 hours and 25 minutes."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)	"The uniformly good performances and the often inspired craftsmanship arguably make this second only to Cuaron's Prisoner of Azkaban in the Potter pantheon."	Andy Klein
Tomato	The House of the Devil (2009)	"With the suspense cranked so high, it's almost inevitable that the bloody finale comes as a bit of a letdown."	Andy Klein
Tomato	The Hurt Locker (2009)	"Bigelow uses hand-held camera and eye-level character p.o.v. shots to create a gritty sense of being there."	Andy Klein
Tomato	In the Loop (2009)	"In the midst of the constant stream of mostly vacuous (and sometimes not) summer blockbusters, In the Loop is the tiniest of releases and one of the best ... maybe the best so far."	Andy Klein
Tomato	The Informant! (2009)	"Despite the possibility of savage humor, Soderbergh has gone for a more amiable approach; the result doesn't have many big belly laughs, but its droll tone is consistently amusing."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Inglourious Basterds (2009)	"As it progresses, it increasingly takes its cues from Ernst Lubitsch's great Nazi farce To Be or Not to Be, except eventually even wackier and less realistic."	Andy Klein
Tomato	The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)	"... the final product matches the title in both weirdness and drollery."	Andy Klein
Splat	Public Enemies (2009)	"Mann and his writers recount Dillinger's story clearly and with more historical accuracy than some of the earlier film versions, but you're left wondering, "So what?""	Andy Klein
Tomato	A Serious Man (2009)	"As with Levy's rye bread, you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy [it]."	Andy Klein
Tomato	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)	"Scott has updated the setting, but, more significantly, he's refashioned things in tone, style and theme, deftly recasting it to fit the standard template of the contemporary Hollywood action film."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Taking Woodstock (2009)	"This may be the least ambitious of Lee's films, but his directorial chops still guarantee a worthwhile experience."	Andy Klein
Tomato	Whatever Works (2009)	"[T]he stiffness of David's performance gives one renewed appreciation for Allen's sometimes overlooked acting abilities.... But Allen continues to write the best jokes in the business."	Andy Klein
Splat	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	"Thanks to both the added story elements and the visual choices, there is barely a drop of "magical" to be found; it's neither wondrous nor scary."	Andy Klein
