List of 2009 Films Ranked by Rating

That's right, film fans, it's finally happened. As of this year, I'm no longer writing comments/reviews/call-them-what-you-will on new movies. I might conceivably do a festival report, if I go to any festivals, and I'll still be writing sketchy notes on old movies - mostly for my own benefit - but this website is essentially closed (or will be, once I sort out some 2008 stragglers). Sorry if you only just got here, looks like you're late to the party. Where've you been for the past 12 years, anyway?

Ratings are explained right here, for the unhealthily curious.
