The Year in Movies . . .

I had a lot of time on my hands this year to watch flicks. Thanks to oneclickmovies.com its easier than ever to see stuff. Really great year for movies. Only one outright classic but about ten great movies and a slew of really good ones.

My Top 20 Movies of 2009:
1. Un Prophete / A Prophet
2. Anvil: The Story of Avil
3. Adventureland
4. The Hurt Locker
5 An Education
6. Funny People
7. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
8. A Serious Man
9. Big Fan
10. Observe and Report
11. Collapse
12. Tyson
13. Star Trek
14. In the Loop
15. Where the Wild Things Are
16. Up In the Air
17. The Hangover
18. Public Enemies
19. World’s Greatest Dad
20. 500 Days of Summer

Honorable Mention: Moon, Zombieland, Drag Me to Hell Paranormal Activity, Mystery Team, Up, Inglourious Basterds, Land of the Lost, Lymelife, The White Ribbon, The Invention of Lying (The romantic back half of the film keeps this from being a classic along the works of movies like Groundhog Day)

Notable movies I haven’t seen: 35 Shots of Rum, The Road, Black Dynamite, Afterschool, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Informant, and Brothers.

Biggest Disappointment: Avatar, District 9

Awards:
Best Actor: Tahar Rahim, Un Prophete; Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
Best Actress: Anna Faris, Observe and Report and the chick in An Education
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds and Alfred Molina, An Education
Best Supporting Actress: the older lady from In the Loop and the younger chick from Up in the Air
Best Director: Jacques Audiard, Un Prophete; Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker

Best Picture, Foreign Film, and Documentary are self-explanatory from my list.

Happy Birthday Sammy!

2009: the year in commericials

Here's the best 2009 had to offer



She looks great considering just before they shot this, she unhinged her jaw and swallowed Jared alive, plus the 5 dollar foot-long he was holding



This is the first time I've seen Luke Wilson in a year or so, but I can already tell he must be a big fan of the new taco bell drive-thru diet




This commercial shows what you can accomplish when you practice break-dancing for 4 seconds in front of a mirror.

Best Commerical of the Year Award

My favorite commerical of the year. It really only works because the guy's asian. Great stuff.
