2009 Quick Movie Grades
published August 26, 2009

These movies are reviewed by movie aficionado . He currently makes film trailers for big budget movies in Hollywood CA and is a former movie theater manager of a (now-defunct) massive multiplex movie theater. His reviews are to be generally trusted, though he is far too nice to give many movies a grade below a C.

 
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra - Watch your toys come to life! This is the definition of a popcorn flick. B-

 

The International
The International - Clive Owen shoots his way through a smart thriller. Great cinematography of architecture. A-

 

 
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Like the first but more so in every way. C

 

Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation - Not as bad as it could be. Not as good as it should be. C+

 

District 9
District 9 - You don't need a big budget for great sfx. Good story too, even if you can nitpick it. A-

 

Bruno Eminem
Bruno - It was funny but... C+

 

The Hurt Locker Poster
The Hurt Locker - TENSE movie about a soldier that diffuses bombs. Succeeds because it's not about politics, it's about the job. War is a drug. A

 

Moon Poster
Moon - Sam Rockwell meets himself in this quirky scifi movie. B+

 

The Hangover
The Hangover - The little movie that could, it's funny enough. B+

 

The Soloist
The Soloist - Jamie Foxx tries for the retard oscar win. Almost succeeds. RDJ is always good. B-

 

 
Watchmen - Watch Zack Snyder do about as good as he is capable of doing. Someone else should have directed though. B-

 

Star tREK cREW coMPARISON
Star Trek - The only blockbuster movie that was actually a blockbuster. (Unfortunately no Picard or Riker) A

 

Witch Mountain
Race to Witch Mountain - They're racing to find Dwayne Johnson's career. C

 

Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Hugh Jackman is at least trying. Why isn't anything else in this movie? C

 

Angels and Demons
Angels & Demons - False advertising. I would rather have seen a movie about angels fighting demons. Tom Hanks runs around the Vatican for two hours too slow to save people from dying. Better than DaVinci Code though. B-

 

benjamin button
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button -  A movie to be admired but not loved. B

 

A Perfect Getaway
Perfect Getaway - Kiele Sanchez is hotter than Milla. There I said it, now go deal with it. Solid thriller that keeps you guessing. B

 

Sprad Ashton
Spread - SHUT UP ASHTON. SHUT UP. F-
