Craig YounkinAugust 12, 2009
Humpday isn’t always fun to watch but it’s brave, funny, and interesting.
'District 9' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinAugust 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 YounkinJuly 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 YounkinJuly 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 YounkinJuly 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 YounkinJuly 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.
'Whatever Works' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinJuly 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.
'Dead Snow' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinJuly 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.
'Bruno' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJuly 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 YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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.
'Transformers 2' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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 YounkinJune 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.

US release date: June 5, 2009

Craig YounkinJune 4, 2009
A comic adventure well worth taking.
'Land of the Lost' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinJune 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.
'Tyson' Movie Review (A)Craig YounkinMay 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.
'Easy Virtue' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinMay 30, 2009
An old fashioned comedy that works, one of the funniest I’ve seen all year long.
'Up' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinMay 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.
'Drag Me to Hell' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMay 29, 2009
What we're watching is just ridiculous. This is campy horror, with more of an emphasis on cornball than on actual scares.
'Fast and Furious' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinApril 1, 2009
Deserves credit for doing the key things well. If you're expecting much from anything other than the cars then it’s a disappointment.
'Sunshine Cleaning' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinApril 1, 2009
It's one of the better movies this year, but it could have benefited from a tighter script.
'Watchmen' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 4, 2009
This movie was just lost on me. I have no idea where it was trying to go or what any of it means and to me it just looks like a nice-looking jumble of different things that just didn’t work.
'Confessions...Shopaholic' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinFebruary 13, 2009
Surprisingly tolerable and likable, a relief to guys who look at that title and shudder at the fact that they're probably going to be spending Valentine's Day with their girlfriends watching it.
'The International' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinFebruary 11, 2009
Instead of focusing on how the bank creates slaves-to-debt and how the whole process works, the movie just vaguely and complicatedly brushes over those issues in favor of lazy, generic plotting.
'Taken' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJanuary 27, 2009
Taken works in the same vain as Out for Justice and is, for the most part, a fairly thrilling revenge flick.
'Inkheart' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJanuary 21, 2009
Inkheart is the first in a trilogy of books and hopefully Hollywood goes back into this well again.
