Knowing (2009) Whatever else director Alex Proyas has done here, he has created an ending that is sure to divide audiences into camps of love it or hate it, deeming its message either hopeful or hopelessly heavy-handed. For me, it doesn't quite work; still I'm glad he took the risk. Grade: C
Push (2009) Imaginatively photographed by Peter Sova, this film has a dizzying, chaotic energy that pulls you along. Paul McGuigan directs with maximum efficiency and minimum use of computers, creating effects that feel satisfyingly tangible. Grade: C+
The Unborn (2009) The film teeters so perilously and routinely at the edge of camp, both with some of its casting choices and some unfortunate dialogue (the repeated warning that "Jumby wants to be born now"), that it's hard to know if writer/director David S. Goyer wants to make us howl with fear or laughter. Grade: D+
