iMovie '09 (released as part of iLife '09 and alongside iWork '09) is a revolutionary update to iMovie '08. Since its first public demo last month, the aforementioned Disgruntled Fans have been hooting that it represents Apple's apology for last year's edition.

David Pogue hammers iMovie '08. The enhancements in iPhoto, iWeb and GarageBand are great. But iMovie '08 is an utter bafflement.
