Tomato

(Untitled) (2009)

"Art School Confidential goes for its doctorate in Jonathan Parker's bitchy, hilarious (Untitled), the story of two pretentious brothers jealously jousting with each other in the dog-eat-dog world of fine-art cred."

Kelly Vance

Splat

2012 (2009)

"The Earth's crust destabilizes, quakes and tsunamis run riot, and continents shift, opening up a chasm directly under Columbia Pictures, the folks who hired Roland Emmerich to direct the movie."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

An Education (2009)

"It's not very Hornby, but it's not bad. In fact, we could go so far as to say that An Education is one of the smarter entertainments of the season."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Antichrist (2009)

"Von Trier's personal demons are thrillingly cinematic, but they're his, not necessarily ours."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009)

"The Baader Meinhof Complex arrives as a useful tool, a history lesson in a box, on a moment in time when actual revolution seemed not only possible but in some cases likely, in parts of Western Europe and the United States."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)

"We have to go all the way back to Junior Brown, the psychopathic strip club owner in Kiss of Death (1994), to find a meatier heavy in Cage's filmography."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Big Fan (2009)

"Screenwriter Siegel, directing his first film, lavishes as much attention on forty-year-old virgin Paul as he did on "Randy the Ram" in The Wrestler."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Bronson (2009)

"Bronson just keeps coming, straight ahead, like a bull charging through the slaughterhouse door."

Kelly Vance

Splat

The Burning Plain (2009)

"Others may try, but no one can top Guillermo Arriaga for constructing grandiose watchtowers of pretentious pathos, crisscrossed by a melancholy emotional circuitry that nevertheless reassures us that, yes, we are all interconnected, if only in our despair"

Kelly Vance

Tomato

The Canyon (2009)

"For a story so bald on narrative incident, The Canyon is sweaty-palms scary."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

"The movie lives up to its hype in its first five minutes and builds from there. It's the Awful Truth in big, bold letters."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Extract (2009)

"Judge probably wrote Extract on the back of a pizza box, but it's funnier and truer to life as it is actually lived than anything Judd Apatow ever did."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"After watching Wes Anderson's exhilarating animated fable Fantastic Mr. Fox, you'll secretly want to be Mr. Fox."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Good Hair (2009)

"Who would have thought that Chris Rock would make one of the best documentaries of 2009?"

Kelly Vance

Splat

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)

"Next month someone will put out a brand-new gross-out Guy Flick that erases I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell's last shred of relevance. But you and I won't see it. And Tucker Max will finally become a corporate attorney for the small-arms manufacturing indu"

Kelly Vance

Splat

The Informant! (2009)

"Instead of a nail-biter like The Insider or the pathetic tale of a corporate hit-and-run victim, such as Flash of Genius, Mark's big-business shenanigans simply peter out anticlimactically over the course of six or seven years, and that's that. He's not a"

Kelly Vance

Splat

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

"Whatever George Clooney and his friends are smoking, could they please pass some of it around? We're confused and we need it."

Kelly Vance

Splat

New York, I Love You (2009)

"This wretched mishmash of clichés and lazy scene-setting is as distressing for its lack of curiosity as for its smothering sweetness. It's a criminal waste of time."

Kelly Vance

Splat

Ninja Assassin (2009)

"Once upon a time, James McTeigue made V for Vendetta, a thinking-person's revenge melodrama. He's paying for that with Ninja Assassin."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Pirate Radio (2009)

"Pirate Radio is going to be the event of the year for guys of indeterminate age (but closer to fifty than to fifteen) who can never get enough Sixties rock 'n' roll at the movies."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009)

"In the same way as with the Elephant Man or an Angkor Wat idol, we're fascinated with Precious' face. It's inert and monolithic, almost unknowable."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Red Cliff (2009)

"With the costumed epic Red Cliff, celebrated Hong Kong and Hollywood action director John Woo wanders into unaccustomed turf."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Still Walking (2009)

"Kore-eda's scenarios have always tended toward quiet yet troubling contemplation, but Still Walking is probably his most subdued yet, with unmistakable echoes of the great Yasujiro Ozu."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

Visual Acoustics: The Modernisms of Julius Shulman (2009)

"Architectural photographer Julius Shulman was a pivotal figure in US popular culture. He's the one who taught Americans to love modernism."

Kelly Vance

Tomato

William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe (2009)

"His daughters, Emily and Sarah Kunstler, made this timely documentary partly to celebrate their late father (he died in 1995) and partly to reiterate his fundamental beliefs."
