THANK YOU

that was the single most uncreative comedy i have ever seen... COMEDIC SPOONFEEDING! its like they got a panel of frat guys together to write the damn thing... zachs one of the funniest standups around and even he couldnt save it... hell, bradley coopers basically the leading man and isnt funny AT ALL... just a linear series of non related mishaps and one liners that tried WAY too hard

sorry... just sick of hearing about it :x

ANYWAY
best movie of '09 goes to the basterds

avatar sucked too - looked awesome... sucked as a movie

movies i still need to see-
precious
moon
500 days of summer
hurt locker
up in the air
sherlock holmes

I'll see either up in the air or sherlock holmes tonight.

Of the movies i've seen so far none really jump out at me as being "the best" I really wanted "The Road" to be more then what it was. It was good, but not as good as I wanted it to be.

Where The Wild Things Are

Twice, I've tried watching District 9 and both times I end up being more interested with what's on the internet than I am in the movie. I'm going to try once more this evening to watch it, but so far I'd have to say I'm not impressed.

For me, best movie of the year, by far, is Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino scores once again.

The Hurt Locker gets my vote- just so tense and ive never seen a film where you know exactly how these guys are feeling. Its just amazing

I saw up in the air last night and i really liked it.

I thought it fell a little short of being a great movie but it was really cool.

The Juggler

up in the air. not even close.

i eat a lot of fish too - i try to eat the sustainable kinds ... having said that - what they are doing in taiji is brutal - it's literally a mass slaughter - and the mayor wanting to put it into the national food system is even more troubling ...

yeah, i'm on a david suzuki mailing list and the organization sent out a seafood guide so i try to eat from that. my father is a professional sushi chef though so its hard to pass up some things.

i hung out with my daddy the other night, he made sushi... how can i turn down tuna nigiri and the canucks game? i'm sorry ocean!!!!

(haven't seen moon, avatar and star trek yet)

Didn't see that many, a few sucked. Didn't see anything that was Great. Inglorious Basterds was the best.

I liked "Taken", saw that a couple times.

Friend and I just watched (500) Days of Summer... it was awesome!!!!!!!!

Tonight, me and the gal watched a few of the movies people are talking about in this thread ...

District 9 - Horribly predictable. I thought it was well acted, but the script was a hunk of shit. Just annoying. And yeah, the fiance loved it so, we now own it ... :roll:

Hurt Locker - meh. Had it's moments, the desert sniper scene was great. But, I found myself yawning quite a few times. Someone above wrote, "The Hurt Locker gets my vote- just so tense and ive never seen a film where you know exactly how these guys are feeling. Its just amazing" ... really? Did you serve? That's the thing that I wanted to know ... from the point of view of a vet, was this realistic? I mean, some of the scenes, I can see ... but, the main character kept "going rouge" ... that seemed a bit overdone.

James Cameron stating that this may be the Platoon of the Iraqi War made wonder if he bumped his head ... because that's ridiculous.

Few more comments.

The Hangover - Saw it in the theatre, got a lot of great laughs. But, once the surprise is over, it loses something. Tried wathcing it again a few weeks ago and it wasn't even close to the same movie. Ken Jeong is one funny fucker though.

Where The Wild Things Are - wow, disappointment.

Inglourious Basterds - Fantastic from start to finish. I hope Christoph Waltz wins everything he's nominated for because he was outstanding.

That is all.
