Top 5 Best Movies of 2009
I realize that there are still a couple of months left in 2009, but since we are through the summer blockbuster season I figured I would put together a list of the top 5 best movies of 2009 (so far). Here are my picks
5 - Inglorious Basterds - There was a lot of hype surrounding this movie, and with director Quentin Tarantino and Holly A-list actor Brad Pitt attached to the film, the high anticipation hardly comes as a shock. Tarantino is back in a big way with this tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers who spread terror through the enemy's ranks by brutally killing Nazis. Pitt is stellar in the lead role as Lt. Aldo Raine, and though the film is over 2.5 hours long you'll never find it dragging.
4 - Up - Pixar just never seem to make a bad movie, and no matter how much praise is heaped upon them for one movie they somehow seem to outdo themselves in the next. The movie, like all Pixar films, has plenty of humor, but also has moments that will have you blinking back tears. If you are a fan of Pixar films then you've no doubt already seen this one, but if somehow missed it make sure to pick it up on DVD the day it hits stores.
3 - District 9 - This incredible movie is an impressive debut for director Neil Blomkamp. The story takes place in South Africa, a refreshing departure from other alien "invasion" movies that always seem to take place on U.S. soil. This isn't your typical movie where army troops and a few extraordinary civilians must defend Earth from annihilation by unwelcome extra terrestrial visitors. I won't spoil it with too many details, but suffice it to say the film is much different than any sci-fi movie that I've ever seen.
2 - The Hangover - While this might not have enjoyed the critical acclaim of several of the other films on this list, The Hangover deserves its spot as it is one of the funniest comedy movies to come along in years. Starring Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis the film is about 3 buddies who take their friend Doug to Las Vegas for his bachelor party. As often happens in Vegas things get quickly out of hand and after a night of debauchery the sorry crew wakes up and discovers they've lost their friend. Unable to recall what happened they must try and retrace their steps from the previous night to try and find Doug and get him home in time for his wedding.
1 - Star Trek - With so many installments of this venerable sci-fi classic already it seemed unlikely that yet another chapter would come up at number one on a list of the top 10 best movies of 2009. Yet here it is. Why, you ask? Quite simply, this isn't your father's Star Trek. The series has been completely reinvented, much in the way that Batman Begins was a few years back. It is darker, more violent and grittier than any of the previous installments, and you don't need to be a Trekkie to appreciate this spectacular film.
