    So I just watched The Hangover...........

    That could possibly be the funniest fucking movie I have ever watched...........

    The Asian mafia leader was hysterical. I actually went to a lot of movies this year, the ones besides the Hangover that I enjoyed were "Gran Torino" (technically an 08 movie), 500 Days of Summer and Up in the Air.

    Hangover was possibly the worst movie I've seen since Step-Brother. You people are all on crack.

    District 9 totally sucked but maybe i was under the influence. It just seemed to be a shit movie that made no sense to me.

    Fuck, i have to see Moon. I love Sam Rockwell...

    My nominee's in no particular order:
    Precious - disturbing but excellent movie
    Avatar - though I hate to go with hype, this was worth the 2 hour wait in line. Plus I love the messages in it.
    District 9 - Surprisingly awesome, great messages in it as well.
    Star Trek - great even for someone like me who doesnt' know anything about the franchise
    Inglorious Bastards - takes liberties with history but loved it regardless
    Sherlock Holmes - RDJ could be in anything and I'll still love it.
    UP - Soooo awesome... that dog makes my life.
    I Love You, Man - I actually liked this one better than the Hangover
    Away We Go - cute film, really enjoyable I thought
    Pirate Radio - again, found this really enjoyable
    The Cove - I don't come from Taiji!!

    Disappointments for me:
    Terminator: Salvation
    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
    9
    The Soloist (an exception to the RDJ rule)

    Ones I really need to see still:
    Moon
    The Lovely Bones (Although I think that one's released date has changed to 2010, at least in Canada)
    the Hurt Locker
    The Stoning of Soroya M
    The Informant!
    Where the Wild Things Are

    When I saw it I didn't know anything about it... I saw a few posters at bus stops which were interesting but other than that never looked into it. It was unusual for me to see a movie without seeing the trailer or knowing nothing about it. Maybe it works? I loved it for some reason..

    absolutly. District 9 had no character development, very little action, very predictable story. I was really looking forward to it and was completly disapointed.

    Moon wasn't bad. It was a neat movie. Very different. enjoyable, but it could have been better

    I'm aslo a terminator junkie, so that plays a role into it as well.

    D9 made sense, and was easy to follow, it just was lacking. the gf kept using partide to describe it. it's too big a word for me. :lol:
