Top 10 Movies of 2009
1. Inglourious Basterds
QT does it again, as if there was any doubt. A very suspenseful film with incredibly fleshed out characters. I wish it was twice as long.
2. Watchmen
Zack Snyder has made an excellent adaptation of the “unfilmable” graphic novel. It will take multiple viewings to fully take it all in.
3. Martyrs
Devastating and unforgettable—a brutal, transcendent landmark of modern horror that still cuts deep.
4. Star Trek
Finally I get what I thought a Star Trek movie could be - fun, exciting, touching, multiverses, and totally action-packed. Go see it now!
5. District 9
Rarely does a movie exceed my expectations. District 9 is the real deal - serious science fiction and thrilling action. Check it out.
6. Timecrimes
Really engrossing mind-bender from Spain. Seeing how everything ties together at the end made me want to watch it all again right away.
7. Trick ‘r Treat
I loved, loved, loved this movie! Kind of like the “Go” of horror movies. It really is a crime that this movie is going straight to dvd.
8. Zombieland
From the opening notes of “For Whom The Bell Tools” to the over the top ending this was a really funny movie with some great gore.
9. 12 Rounds
I loved John Cena’s first movie THE MARINE and I was really excited to see this new one. This one was just as ridiculous and I love that.
10. Orphan
A new and fun twist on your standard killer kid flick. I’m really happy that Dark Castle is still around making these kind of movies.
