I realize that some of my posts on this blog have tended to have an anti-Hollywood bias. So in an effort to not seem like a complete dour sour-puss I thought I'd share with you some of the movies that I actually did enjoy in 2009:
(insert sounds of crickets chirping)
No, seriously, here we go (in stream-of-consciousness order):
- Inglourious Basterds
- District 9
- The Hurt Locker
- A Serious Man
- Up in The Air
- Up
- Watchmen
- Adventureland
- The Blind Side
(ok, I admit I actually cried a little)- The Cove
- Food, Inc.
- Let the Right One In
(yeah, it was released in 2008 but I didn't see it until 2009)- Drag Me to Hell
- Paranormal Activity
- Tell No One
(alright, yes that was produced even further back in 2006 but what can I say, I miss some things you know) - Knowing
- The Hangover
- Anvil!
- Star Trek
- Avatar
(the first 90 minutes only - see my post here:) You see, most of those are Hollywood-produced films, with a sprinkling of indies, docs and foreign films as well.
Ah... there, now I feel all warm and cozy knowing that great movies can be made despite the risk-averse Hollywood mainstream that continues to churn out ripoffs, retreads and sequels.
(oops, sorry - just can't help myself sometimes.)

, The Commune tells a tale of entrapment, sacrifice and familial dysfunction. It premiered at Dances With Films Film Festival and has received multiple awards.
Hmm I can jive with a large part of that list. Though I'd definitely get rid of Watchmen. I'm quite indifferent to The Blind Side. I would also add The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus on there.
ReplyDeleteI liked The Blind Side, Paranormal Activity, Knowing, and The Hangover! I just started following your Blog (the title drew me in!) so I'm gonna do some catch up reading!....((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteParanormal activity was so boring I watched it in fast forward. Same thing for District 9, I only watched like 15-20 minutes and abandoned it. Knowing was not that good, the ending ruined the movie for me. I did not like Up in the air very much or Up, it was just a regular movie, nothing special about it...and I couldnt understand watchmen so I stopped watching it. I did like Inglorious bastards, and a part of Avatar. I really don't know if I watched the other ones.
