A lot of shit happened last year. And awful lot. And I liked it. I figured the best way to summarize the year, however, was with a list of really fucking good movies that came out, as a reminder. These are only movies that I saw, there are more than these. However, these movies, I think, more than justify this year as completely, totally amazing.
In order of release:
Taken
Coraline
Watchmen
I Love You, Man
Star Trek
Up
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
District 9
Inglourious Basterds
Paranormal Activity
Zombieland
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Princess and the Frog
Avatar
Sherlock Holmes
And there are at least... 3 movies I didn't see which I know are amazing.
Seriously though, look at this list. This list is fuck all amazing. Fifteen amazing fucking movies, all of which I would, or do own, most of which I saw multiple times. Almost none of them are movies I was anticipating or expected to like. Many of them I wasn't even aware were coming out. So I guess that's what I got out of 2009, there were a lot of things I looked forward to, which I waited for with bated breath that ended up sucking, but it's okay, because even though this wasn't the year I was hoping for, it was still amazing, and probably better than I had expected.
Cheers to the future my friends, and if you haven't seen any of these movies, do so immediately. If there's something horribly missing from the list, please tell me so I can start 2010 off really well.
