Soo Much

2009 wasn’t my greatest year for seeing movies.. There are a handful of movies that came out in 2009 I have yet to see, movies that I’m SURE would have made it on this list had I gotten the opportunity to catch them.  Movies like Zombieland, District 9, Avatar, The Fantastic Mr Fox (because SOMEONE *cough*Alex*cough* saw it without me), 9, Coraline, The Brothers Bloom, Moon, The Bright Star or The Road.  Those movies aside, here is my list of favorite films from 2009.

(more…)

10. Fanboys – A comedy after my heart from the get go set in a time  and with characters I completely related to.

9. Taken – An action film that easily tops most spy movies in recent memory

8. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian – My love for the action comedy gives this one a spot on this list, despite Stiller’s one trick pony acting.

7. Avatar - Though the story may never take you somewhere you have never been before, the 3D visuals most certainly will.

6. Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wes Anderson continues his already stellar body of work with this unique child/adult gem.

5. Watchmen - Treated with a great amount of reverence to it’s source material, this movie is enjoyable to see and hear.

4. Pirate Radio - An unassuming comedy that topped all others for it’s heart and unparalleled acting.

3. Sherlock Holmes - Ritchie used all of his not inconsiderable talent to take a great literary character and put him in a great film.

2. District 9 - A movie that defies categorization and makes you completely sympathize with an honorable alien and his son.

1. Star Trek - No movie this year was so beautiful in sight, sound, and acting. Once over you want to see it again and again until a sequel is upon us.
