2009 So Far....
Well, My Younger Sister (Whose Own Reviews You Can Find On This VERY Website!) Made Good On Her Promise To Drag Me To Go See New Moon! And In All Honesty, I Wasnt Bored. Surprisingly Entertaining! She Also Treated Me To Quite Possibly The Best Animated Movie Of 2009!!!!!

Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans (2009, R)
The Biggest Surprise of This Year! I Hated The First Two Underworlds because Some Of The Elements Didnt Feel Real To Me. This Movie Did, Due To The Fact That Neither The Werewolves Or The Vampires Carried Guns!!! The Story Goes Back To The Beginning Of Lucian & Viktors Continuing Hatred For Each Other And Is Most Likely Going To End Up #10 On My "Best Of 09" List. Bill Nighy Is The Only Badass Here! |

Watchmen (2009, R)
Its About Damn Time A Director Got The Balls To Make A Movie That Is A Dead Ringer To The Comic Book! Be Warned, This Movie Isnt A Superhero Movie, Its A Crime Drama Where The Protagonists Wear Costumes. The Only "Super" Here Is Dr. Manhatten/Billy Crudup. Nonetheless, Watchmen Is A Superb Film That Proves Movies Are About Great Storys, Characters, & Visuals. |

Sin Nombre (2009, R)
A Damn Great Movie, But How Can You Go Wrong With Diego Luna & Gael-Garcia Bernal Executive Producing. The Gang Violence Depicted In This Movie Is Very True To Life, And The Story Also Shows A Different Side To The Immigration Issue. Some Of Them Are Just Trying To Escape The Violence That Is Their Everyday Lives. |

Race to Witch Mountain (2009, PG)
Ah! The Rock! The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment. Movies, Not So Much. But Considering This Is A Remake, I Can See No Other Actor Approaching This Role. AnnaSophia Robb Never Dissapoints, And The Movie Does A Good Job Keeping You Interested Til The End, And, Knowing Disney, The Sequel. |

Dragonball Evolution (2009, PG)
MOTHER OF GOD, I Really Didnt Think They Could Drop The Ball On This One. But Piccolo Didnt Even Have Moving Antennas. Even Andorians On Star Trek TOS Have Moving Antennas! Justin Chatwin Looks Nothing Like Goku, Chow Yun Fat Isnt Anywhere Near Old Enough To Play Master Roshi, And The Final Battle Between Goku & Piccolo, To The Movies Credit, Was Nothing But Ki Blasts Like In The Anime, Managed To Look Like A Water Balloon Battle. Easily The Worst Movie Of The Last Ten Years!!!!! |

Terra (Battle For Terra) (2009, PG)
Pixar & Dreamworks Set The Standard For Beautiful Animation. This Animation Is A Little Stiff Here And There, But Its The Story That Won Me Over. Evan Rachel Wood & Luke Wilson Work Well Together In The Lead Roles Of Maya & Jim Stanton, & Mark Hamill, Always A Badass, Does A Great Job Portraying Elder Orin. If Your A Fan Of CG Animated Movies, Give This One A Rent! |

Rudo y Cursi (2009, R)
Diego Luna & Gael Garcia Bernal Are Back, And Better Than Ever. The Story of Two Mexican Brothers Who Dream Of Soccer. & A Better Life Is Very Well Acted. Guillermo Francella Is Brilliant As Their Agent. The Story Treads Mostly Familiar Realm But It Never Gets Boring. All Must See This Movie To See Gael Garcia Bernal Sing A Spanish Version Of Cheap Tricks "I Want You To Want Me". |

Terminator Salvation (2009, PG-13)
This Should Have Been A Masterpiece But Director McG Drops The Ball! This Movie Looks Like Every Other Sci-Fi Movie With Terminator Elements Copy & Pasted Here & There. Christian Bale Give A Performance Similar To Gerard Butler On 300. I Cant Remember Which Critic Said This Following Quote But He Was Right, "Yelling At Different Volumes Isnt Acting!" The Biggest Disappointment This Year! >:( |

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009, PG-13)
Micheal Bay Truly Is A Strange Filmaker. I Wasnt Too proud Of The First Movie, But This Sequel delivered The Robot On Robot Action That Took Too Long To Unfold On The First One. Shia LaBeouf Is Great As Sam, Megan Fox Is Yet Again Nothing More Than Eye Candy, & Peter Cullen Is Badass As Usual As Optimus Prime. I Could List My Complaints About This One, But That Would Take Too Much Time. Bigger, Louder, & Better Than The First!!!! |

Up (2009, PG)
I'll Be Honest, This Movie Didnt Seem That Great When I First Saw The Trailer. But Leave It To Pixar To Go Beyond Expectations. Ed Asner Delivers A Grand Performance Not To Be Missed, And The Movie Is Entertaining As Well As Intriging Dealing With Loss, & Acceptance. The Best Part Was That When My Younger Sister & I Were Watching This Movie, We Noticed That All The Adults Were The Ones Laughing! |

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Ice Age 3) (2009, PG)
The First Ice Age Movie Ive Ever Seen and Ive Got To Say, I Wasnt Bored. Stiff Animation, Not As Good As Up But, Better Than Battle For Terra. Ray Ramano, Queen Latifah, Denis Leary & John Leguizamo Do Great But Its Simon Pegg Who Steals The show On This One. Great For The Kids, Everyone Else, Not So Much. |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009, PG)
The Harry Potter Movies Take Way Too Many Liberties With The Books, But If You've Never Read Them, The Movies Do A Great Job Reeling You In. Quite Possibly The Best Movie In The Series, With Great Acting By Daniel Radcliff & Jim Broadbent. Most People Hate The Half Blood Prince Because Of The Ending But You Cant Deny The Power Of Great Storytelling. |

Aliens in the Attic (2009, PG) |

The Hurt Locker (2009, R)
One Of The Best Of The Year! The Hurt Locker Begins With A Quote From The Book "War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning" by Chris Hedges, And The Story Really Digs Deep To Stress That Point. Jeremy Renner Is Flawless As Sergeant First Class William James, As This Movie Really Makes You Clench While Watching Some Of The Most Intense War Movie Scenes Since Saving Private Ryan. A Definite Must-See! |

I Love You Beth Cooper (2009, PG-13)
A Sub-Par Comedy That Is A Total Disaster Compared To The Book. Paul Rust & Hayden Panettierre Seem As If They Really Didnt Try To Act In This, & I Still Ponder To This Day Why A Very Dirty Book Can Only Get A PG-13 Rating. Not The Worst But Still Agonizing To Watch. READ THE BOOK!!!! Trust Me, Its Better! |

H2: Halloween II (2009, R)
Rob Zombie Continues To Deliver Good Movies. Compared To 2007's Remake, This Movie Didnt Seem To Have Any Real Direction In Terms Of Story & Character Developement, Well, Except For The Great Malcolm McDowell. Lots Of Gore And An Amazing Soundtrack Elevate This Movie To Your Average Slasher Flick. Worth A Rent If Not A Fan Of The Series. |

Observe and Report (2009, R)
Wow!? Seth Rogan Was Either Scared Of Paul Blart:Mall Cop, Or Just Wanted To De-Rail His Career. Writer/Director Jody Hill Tried To Make This What Some Have Called "The Dark Mall Cop Movie" But Unlike Paul Blart, This Movie Is Unfunny. Micheal Pena Especially Got On My Nerves, And The Movie Relied Too Much On The Overacting Of Seth Rogan Instead Of Making A Vast World Full Of Character. Not As Ba A Dragonball Evolution, But Still Not Worth Your Time. |

Coraline (2009, PG)
The Glorious Return Of Stop-Motion Animation. Neil Gaiman's Book Of The Same Name Translates Well Into The Big Screen, And The 3D Will Make You Shiver At A Few Moments. Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, & Keith David Are Probably The Most Well Known Actors But Everybody In This Film Delivers A Great Performance As The Characters & Their Other Selves. Creepy For Most Children, But Overall, A Triumph In Animation!!! |

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009, PG-13)
Kristen Kruek Tries To Revive The Street Fighter Movie Franchise, And Fails. Dont Get Me Wrong, The First Street Fighter Movie Was Less Than Perfect But At Least JCVD & Raul Julia Didnt Take Themselves Seriously. Chun-Li Who Is A Concert Pianist As Opposed To An Interpol Agent, Tries To Find The Evil M. Bison Who Kidnapped Her Father Some Years Ago. Most Of The Acting Is Stale And Robotic, And The Fight Scenes Are Terribly Choreographed. If You Love The Game, Stay Away, If You've Never Played The Games, You Might Like It. |

2012 (2009, PG-13)
Roland Emmerich Ends His Disaster Movie Movies With His Biggest One Yet. Im Sure This Movie Ended Up On Manys Top 10 Worst But I Got A Huge Kick Out Of It. I Knew What I Was Walking Into AND Got What I Paid For. Acting Is Solid Enough But Nothing Special, And The Movie Was A Little Long! If You Can Sit Through It, Worth Your Money To See Some Damn Good Special Effects. If Not, Dont Waste 3 HoursOf Your Life! |

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009, PG-13)
The Most Anticipated Movie For The Millions Of 14 Year Old Girls....Wasnt That Boring! Granted There Is Some Mature Subject Matter, This Movie Handles Them Well. Robert Pattinson Is Nothing Special, It Was All About Taylor Lautner! Yes, Thats Right, Im A Jacob Fan!!!! Its All About The Lycans! LMAO xD |

The Uninvited (2009, PG-13)
This Movie Had A Lot Going For It. The Twist Ending Would Have Made M. Night Shayamalan Proud But The Source Material Just Wasnt Handled That Well! This Was Definitely A Step Up for Emily Browning, Whom We Last Saw In A Series Of Unfortunate Events (2004), Who Plays The Some-What Disturbed Anna. Elizabeth Banks Does Well As The Woman Who Is Trying To Steal Away Emilys Father. Other Than Those Two, The Acting Isnt Much. Christopher Young Shines With The Tense Music Heard Throughout. Worth A Rental If Your Curious. |
