2009 Movie Review

Well 2009 was one of the weakest years in movies that I can remember. Here is my quick recap. Keep in mind I have not seen all the movies of 2009.

Most Entertaining Movies
1. (500) Days of Summer - Easily falls into the #1 spot. Reminded me of Stranger than Fiction which is one of my favorite movies.
2. Taken - Liam Neeson killing fools. Not much plot but cool action
3. Avatar - James Cameron can do big movies. The 3D was very impressive and the overall look of the movie was great.
4. Star Trek - The only Star Trek movie I have ever enjoyed. I still think JJ Abrams might be the next Spielberg.
5. The Hangover - This is a comedy that falls into my shock comedy category. It is really fun and funny the first time but diminishes on each repeat viewing as the comedy is more shock comedy.

Just Missed:
District 9, Transformers 2

Nubbiest Movies (They blew)
1. Inglorious Bastards - I know I am alone on this, but I found it to be boring and did not care about any of the characters.
2. Watchmen - I am not shocked that this did not live up to the hype
3. Funny People - Not funny.

Still Want To See
1. Up In the Air
2. The Blind Side - True, Inspirational and Lou Holtz
3. Zombieland - If it is like 'Shaun of the Dead' then I will enjoy it.
4. Up
5. Paranormal Activity

Will not be Viewing
1. Twilight - Quick Story. I honestly know nothing about this series. I was asking a girl at work who was reading the books and I was like I notice in the trailers that it appears to be daytime...how do they explain Vampires walking in the daylight? Well apparently the Vampires Sparkle. Fail and pass.
2. Bruno - All his characters are funny for 3 minutes, then it gets annoying.
3. Romantic Comedies - Unless a girl finally decides to talk to me I will not be viewing any of these.
