All my reviews for 2009 films so far.
By Wade Durham
The Hurt Locker 5/5
“Greatest War Movie of the Decade”
Up 5/5
“Heart-warming, and magical in every way, it’ll bring tears to your eyes”
Ponyo 3.5/5
“Visually Impressive cartoon that has little to offer”
Star Trek 4/5
“Star Trek is an epic adventure you won’t soon forget”
Drag Me To Hell 3.5/5
“Brings a lot to the horror-comedy genre”
District 9 4/5
“The Sci-Fi adventure/ drama that will keep you talking for weeks, District 9 is an impressive and satisfying summer flick”
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 3.5/5
“Probably one of the better Harry Potters the excels not so much in cheap action fantasy thrills, but in preparing you for the big finale”
Adventureland 3/5
“Hilarious, a fun- bittersweet comedy about growing up in the ‘80s”
Zombieland 4/5
"A hilarious, mildly horrific rollercoaster ride, that is fun, special thanks to the excellent comedy acting from Harrelson and Eisenberg"
The Hangover 3.5/5
“Non-Stop laughing is here to be had, The Hangover is the comedy of the summer”
Worlds Greatest Dad 4/5
“ Very very dark but in a very very hilarious way pushes the limit in every manner”
I Love You Man 3.5/5
“Hilarious indeed, but would be nothing without the talented sarcasm of Paul Rudd”
Inglourious Basterds 4.5/5
“Hilarious and yet epic war pic that shows us war isn’t always a tear fest, but a brutal massacre of pleasurable vengeance”
Public Enemies 3.5/5
“ After a grand 1 and a half hour long loop the film proves itself to be promising, the real Dillinger would be pleased”
Away We Go 4/5
"Krasinski and Rudolph make a pitch perfect awkward couple in the process of becoming more responsible people and trying to decide who they wanna be in life"
Duplicity 1.5/5
“A very dull film, that leaves you thinking why with such a cast can a film seriously be this BORING”
Paranormal Activity 4/5
"Very Haunting, horrific indie film, that sticks with you and haunts you much after its over."
The Informant! 2.5/5
“Soderbergh fails to appeal to a general audience, however Damon saves the film”
A Perfect Getaway 3/5
“Ultimately for movie-goers seeking a crazy fun twist”
Extract 3/5
“Typical Judge comedy, with hilarious characterization, yet sometimes a dragging feel”
9 3.5/5
“Dark and sometimes evil, 9 is a Burton-styles epic adventure, not for the faint of heart”
Funny People 3.5/5
“Drifts back and forth with hilarity and seriousness, sometimes failing to mix properly, but the final act gives you those long awaiting chills”
Notorious 4/5
“The great Biggie Smalls biopic proves itself morally great with a lot of feeling, a must see for any rap lover”
The Invention of Lying 3.5/5
"A soft comedy, with a deeper meaning behind it, Gervais is hilarious"
Taking of Pelham 123 3/5
“If your looking for an action packed Washington-Travolta epic mashup you got it, Pelham is fun as hell”
Bruno 2.5/5
“I’ll admit it, however vulgar and crude and poorly humored, Bruno can make you laugh”
My Sisters Keeper 3/5
“One of my favorite directors hits up his drama side only to realize it may not be his best field, however the cast is managed wel through the mangaled story”
Taking Woodstock 2.5/5
"Ang Lees new film is a miss, a story about a sensational concert, but theres hardly any music"
Observe and Report 4/5
“Rogen is hilarious in a perfect role for him, way better than James mall cop, Observe and Report tackles your laughing in many ways but mostly in the epic ending.”
Terminator Salvation 3/5
“Very gritty throughout, probably should’ve gone further with the grit but they stopped it at PG13”
My Bloody Valentine 3-D 3/5
“We can talk shit about how bad this horror movie is and how bad the genre itself is, but lets all be honest, the 3-D horror aspect and twist of MBV was fun”
Taken 3/5
“Pretty Entertaining, but loses its truth toward the middle, ending pretty cartoonly and predictably”
17 Again 2.5/5
“Enjoyable fantasty comedy”
The Proposal 2.5/5
“Another Reynolds comedy that prevails and fails both in different ways. The great Betty White is hysterical”
Jennifers Body 3.5/5
“Jennifers Body is bloody, sexy fun; Fox delivers the character perfectly in a mildly horrifying yet hilarious comedy-horror”
Halloween 2 2/5
“Zombies horror films are very artistically impressive, however sometimes to be a film artist you got to leave the classic horror cliché’ behind and maybe try and stun the audience”
Xmen Origins Wolverine 1.5/5
“Very sloppy story that kind of has you actually pissed off by the end. A waste of time”
Orphan 3/5
“A great demonic-child film, that stretches its long-felt hours into a stunning, thrilling ending.”
Night at the Museum 2 1/5
“A disgrace to the original, NATM2 is a horrible movie, that wastes great performance on supposably show-offy unfunny moments”
Knowing 3/5
“Knowing proves itself as an Armageddon movie realistically and horrorfyingly, however theres still much to get past with the flawed story and the bad acting”
Year One 1/5
“Horrible Movie, One of the worst of ’09 that shows us how big of a wash-up Black is as an actor, and how Michael Ceras sarcastic boyish charm can’t save a film (suprising)”
Haunting in Connecticut 2.5/5
“Not bad for your typical run of the mill horror, that seems inspired by the supposably similar true story that helped inspire Amytiville Horror, just the kid has cancer so we are “suppost” to be dramatically involved to”
Land of the Lost 2.5/5
“A fun movie for the fans of the show, which in no way is an insult to the show, but more of an insult to other potential audience members”
Saw VI 2.5/5
"A small step up for the trash series that its IV and V were, still its nothing special"
Gamer 2/5
“A film that spends all its time attempting to explain to us the situation of the movie. Action-candy that taste like shit”
The Ugly Truth 2.5/5
“Fun anti-chick flick exposing the wild side of a chick flick that is a fairly fun romantic comedy.”
Sorority Row 1.5/5
“A horror film that tries to hard with a dumb idea in the first place”
