My Movie Year in Review (2009) pt1

Even though I gave myself a little blogging break when things got busy I still want to continue my movie year in review tradition. Even though I know I watched more movies this year than last (I'll reveal the final number later) it was a big TV year for me. Watched the whole Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Office series. Also got in a lot of Bones, Angel, and Firefly. Well I've had a lot of time on my hands this recession year. :P

Anyway in this first part I talk about 2008. More specifically movies from 2008 that I didn't see until 2009.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - I dunno I long put this film out of my memory. I think it was all sorts of unbelievable situations and random characters.
Blindness - It was good, not great. Probably could have had more Gael Garcia Bernal. :P
American Teen - Again good, nothing memorable.
Burn After Reading - So bad.
Let the Right One In - May be my favorite movie of 2008 even though I only gave it 4 stars on Netflix.
We Are Wizards - Lovely doc about Harry Potter fandom and the art created from it. Including Brad Neely and Harry and the Potters. Too bad the people at Starkid Potter were too late for this. Or maybe this doc was made too early?
Happy-Go-Lucky - Thought it was ok.
Choke - Ok. Don't expect it to be as good as the book.
Rachel Getting Married - It was good. Anne Hathaway is always good.
Rudo y Cursi - It was good and I <3 href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1010048/">Slumdog Millionaire - I did a review on this one back in July so go check that. In short- meh.
Repo! The Genetic Opera - Rocky Horror meets Moulin Rouge meets Nightmare Before Christmas BUT fails to be as good as any of them.
Gigantic - Fits into my year of quirky indies and my year of Zooey Deschanel. The movie is just wandering and pointless.
Good Dick - I liked this unusual quirky indie. Interesting characters.
Nights and Weekends - I also did a review for this film, probably something like "Ok Joe Swanberg I've had enough of your penis!"
Dakota Skye - Another film I reviewed. I really liked it and thought it was really cute. A must for all teen girls.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - It's the last review I did, read it. (Forest Gump anyone?)
Harold - Really didn't live up to it's potential of an unusual premise.

Well ok if you are interested in my actual review of 2008 you can find it here.

Anything else from 2008 I should see? I've got Peter and Vandy, Che, and Departures in my Netflix queue.

Well stay tuned for the rest of my review at the end of the year!
