 'Extract' Movie Review (C)Extract profile US release date: September 4, 2009 MPAA: R Box Office: $10,823,158 | Craig Younkin | September 5, 2009 |
| This movie isn’t much of a sex comedy or drug comedy or lawsuit comedy or really much of anything. It goes nowhere. | ||
| '9' Movie Review (C+) | Craig Younkin | September 5, 2009 |
| Acker deserves some credit and I admire Focus Features for again taking a chance after the brilliant Coraline, on darkly animated adult material. Just 9 is too meager to recommend. | ||
| 'World's Greatest Dad' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | August 26, 2009 |
| Goldthwait deals with things not many films would. The screenplay is dark, intermittently funny, with a few good lines. | ||
| 'Cold Souls' Movie Review (C+) | Craig Younkin | August 26, 2009 |
| Giamatti does his best. He portrays many different emotions, as well as emptiness, as good as anyone probably ever could. The second half lets him down. | ||
| 'Inglourious Basterds' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 23, 2009 |
| Never lets you forget that Tarantino is a consummate filmmaker, plotting everything with originality and tremendous cool. | ||
| 'Five Minutes of Heaven' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 18, 2009 |
| A human story with an important meaning in our terrorism-around-the-globe-world. | ||
| 'The Goods' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 13, 2009 |
| You just want to start listing funny thing after funny thing, it's that good. | ||
| 'Humpday' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | August 12, 2009 |
| Humpday isn’t always fun to watch but it’s brave, funny, and interesting. | ||
| 'District 9' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | August 11, 2009 |
| District 9 has its pleasures. Those looking for action will enjoy the blast but those seeking a broader plot may feel a little bored. | ||
| 'Funny People' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | July 28, 2009 |
| The movie succeeds in showing comedy as not just an outlet but a communal thing these guys share, and it all goes well with the more somber moments. | ||
| 'The Answer Man' Movie Review (C-) | Craig Younkin | July 22, 2009 |
| The Answer Man looked like a mature, adult answer to some of the crappier romantic comedies but it winds up getting it mostly wrong. | ||
| 'Moon' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | July 16, 2009 |
| It’s slow moving but your head will be working a mile a minute trying to figure out the secrets that lay in store here. | ||
| 'In the Loop' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | July 16, 2009 |
| While excessive and hard to follow at times, Iannucci and his three writers create an adult satire that may not be for everybody but is pretty funny. | ||
| 'Dead Snow' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | July 8, 2009 |
| It’s conventional and many of the jump scares come off as predictable. Just a movie about Nazi zombies can’t be all bad, and that’s the real hook. | ||
| 'Whatever Works' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | July 8, 2009 |
| David, Wood, and Clarkson do their best but they’re dealing with a screenplay that’s hard to like and even harder to see what Allen saw in. | ||
| 'Bruno' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | July 7, 2009 |
| While Bruno is not Borat, it again shows Cohen as a performance artist and damn funny dude. | ||
| 'Ice Age 3' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | June 29, 2009 |
| We’re a long way from the visual feast and energetic fun of Up. I’m sure the kids won’t mind though. This exists for them. | ||
| 'My Sister's Keeper' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | June 26, 2009 |
| I’m not saying this movie isn’t a cheap excuse to make you cry, but as far as cheap excuses go, this one is richly made. | ||
 Most Popular Article'Transformers 2' Movie Review (B) Transformers 2 profile US release date: June 24, 2009 MPAA: PG-13 Box Office: $402,076,689 | Craig Younkin | June 23, 2009 |
| Not without its flaws, but the good outweighs the bad and this is right behind Star Trek as the blockbuster of the summer. | ||
| 'The Hurt Locker' Movie Review (C+) | Craig Younkin | June 21, 2009 |
| The movie clocks in at over two hours and staying with it is not the easiest thing to do. | ||
| 'Away We Go' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | June 21, 2009 |
| There is a point where the interspersing of comedy and drama starts to get old but luckily a third act of genuine lessons and happy mediums lead to some of the movie's best scenes. | ||
| 'Year One' Movie Review (D-) | Craig Younkin | June 18, 2009 |
| A complete train-wreck that falls back on everything that’s wrong with American comedy. It settles for lowest common denominator and aims lower. | ||
| 'The Proposal' Movie Review (D) | Craig Younkin | June 16, 2009 |
| For anyone thinking we’d see an end to insufferable movies that make up the romantic comedy genre I present The Proposal, two hours of stupid fluff performed without the slightest care toward making a watchable movie. | ||
| 'Taking...Pelham 123' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | June 9, 2009 |
| Watching them go one on one with each other is the film’s main bright spot. Though this remake proves to be a little less than the sum of its parts. | ||
| 'The Hangover' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | June 4, 2009 |
| A comic adventure well worth taking. | ||
| 'Land of the Lost' Movie Review (D+) | Craig Younkin | June 3, 2009 |
| Land of the Lost is just lost, misguided in every way. It deserves to be shunned and left to be the summer’s first big box-office bomb. | ||
| 'Easy Virtue' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | May 30, 2009 |
| An old fashioned comedy that works, one of the funniest I’ve seen all year long. | ||
| 'Tyson' Movie Review (A) | Craig Younkin | May 30, 2009 |
| Tyson has it all. A confessional film that showcases just how crazy, funny, spiritual, fun, pained, and fascinating the boxer is as a man. | ||
| 'Drag Me to Hell' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | May 29, 2009 |
| What we're watching is just ridiculous. This is campy horror, with more of an emphasis on cornball than on actual scares. | ||
| 'Up' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | May 29, 2009 |
| One of the year's rare treasures, a movie that flies in every way possible and from Pixar, you shouldn't expect anything less. | ||
