Hello again, yes this is late for a past year's list but I just started this blog today so deal with it. It's mine and I'm having fun. Not easy to whittle down but I've got a much harder task counting down the top ten best movies of 2009 than the worst. I'm pretty tolerant of most movies but yes, I do dislike certain movies, I'm not in love with them all. Here we go:
Top Ten Best Of 2009:
1.X-Men Origins: Wolverine(Better than the 3 previous X-Men films combined in my opinion. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Liev Schrieber as Victor Creed were the standouts)
2.Inglourious Basterds(Been waiting a looooong time for this one, second best supporting actor performance in history)
3.Halloween 2(Just plain hardcore. Outstanding sequel.)
4.Friday The 13th(Best opening to a horror or any movie for that matter.)
5.District 9(Better movie than most with a fraction of the budget, very unique.)
6.The Box(If I didn't know any better, Stanley Kubrick was alive and well.)
7.Duplicity(Smartest comedy I've seen in a long time.)
8.Terminator Salvation(Much better Sam Worthington performance than in Avatar.)
9.Drag Me To Hell(Most fun I've had watching a horror movie in some time, Sam Raimi at his best)
10.Pandorum(I've been waiting for a decent space horror movie to match up to Event Horizon and this didn't disappoint in the least)
Top Ten Worst Of 2009:
1.Bruno (Just as bad or worse than Borat, least funny comedy ever made)
2.Paranormal Activity(Least scary horror movie since The Blair Witch Project)
3.Orphan(Dumbest twist ending all year and just not very compelling)
4.Knowing(Same problem I had with the Indiana Jones 4 reveal-dumbass aliens!)
5.Angels&Demons(Tense movie completely deflated by pointless twist)
6.Fighting(Really disappointing. Too few fight scenes on top of bad quality)
7.The Final Destination(Decent enough death scenes but the spots meant for 3D were too obvious as to take you out of the movie every time)
8.2012(Great effects during the middle of the movie, but ridiculous Deep Impact style uplifting ending that should've been changed. At least Knowing had the balls to follow through)
9.Brothers(Decent enough performances brought down by Tobey Maguire not being able to act. Spider-Man's gone crazy!)
10.Killshot(Anticipated for too long and then let down.)
I'm going to try and do a best of the decade list just like everyone else but that's going to take some time. Not like I've got anything else to do tonight though. Ciao.
