Movies of 2009

HILARIOUS!!! i got sooo many laughs ...paul rudd did such a good job portraying his character!... RETURN THE FAVOR!!!

i was disappointed, which sucks because i really wanted to like this movie...where to begin... (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
the bad: the wild things should have had more monster-like characteristics (they shouldn't have been so human-like; for example the voices) ...the kid max wasn't that great in this role... it's understandable that there was a sad aspect in the plot, but this was verging on depressing... i thought there were many pointless parts that could have been left out (for example the boulder fight, raccoon, hiding in the stomach) ...the story line wasn't similar to the book at all (but then again its a 10 page book)...
the good: the wild things, they looked amazing

i dont think i've ever seen mickey rourke in any other movie, so trying to picture him as anything but a wrestler is very odd, which basically means that he did an awesome job with this role... there was nothing outstanding about this movie, but it was worth the watch!

beautiful animation (at par with disney pixar) ...it does have a dark aspect to it, so its not a movie for kids... the voice overs were very well done... it was a bit short, but then again, the story line was pretty generic so there wasn't much that could have been added... for an animated movie that wasn't disney pixar, i really enjoyed this...

even though this is rated pg13 its still pretty funny!!! ...zac efron does a pretty good job too!!! ...matthew perry didnt have a huge role, which was okay bc i dont really care for him... its pretty predictable, but still well worth the watch

very much a canadian movie... i didnt really like the narration, but i dont think that ruined the movie in any way...

really funny... heigl and butler were a good pair, and it totally was a R-rated comedy!!! ...its a chick flick so the story line isn't anything new, but the jokes are pretty good!!!

i wanted to love this movie because i've always been a fan of pixar... it was great the first hour, but once the dogs were introduced, the storyline somewhat crumbled and there seemed to be a lot of random things going on... i gotta admit i was a LITTLE disappointed with this one; that being said, it was still better than any dreamworks movie!!! one last thing, the short film was amazing!

the dialogue made this movie!!! typical tarantino! every part was very well put together. good amount of comedy and action... LOVED IT!!! ...loved the basterds and the jew hunter!!! ...i really enjoyed how it was shown in chapters!

the storyline wasn't that original, but the jokes were very funny... i was pretty much laughing throughout the entire movie...

it's been getting bad reviews, so i went in with low expectations, but i did get some good laughs... the plot is predictable (and it has some stupid parts), and vince vaughn could have been funnier, but overall, it was worth the watch (more so as a rental), but there are better comedies that have come out this year...

a lot better than i was expecting it to be... storyline was a bit weak (drugs? really?), but as good as the very first one, better than the second and third... had lots of car chases, not to mention very nice cars!

just like the other 5, but it adds to the story... worth the watch if you liked the other ones

nothing new in this movie that hasnt been done before... bledel and gilford did pretty good... it wasnt very long, so it didnt drag... i did laugh a couple of times and got a few chuckles here and there... its rated pg13, so you know its going to be family frendly...

pretty decent movie... somewhat a mix between the movies domestic disturbance, the glass house and disturbia.... more of a suspense than a scary movie, and some parts weren't expanded on, and your typical plot (he has his inclinations, but instead of taking it to the police, he tries to be a hero)...

good story line, didnt drag at any point, was pretty entertaining!

not as solid as the first, but still pretty entertaining!

pretty dull storyline and crappy acting... although i must admit, i did like the part that dakota fanning was acting drunk...

pretty funny and original (aside from borat), but i was expecting it to be better than borat and it wasn't...

not a complete waste of my time... i did like how it had a bit more mystery than other horror movies, but then again, to be in the horror genre, i think it needed to have more 'scary' scenes... gigandet is easy on the eyes as well, so that kept my eyes on the screen ;)

it was okay with the exception of all the parts that were underwater (which were over the top), and it was a bit more cheesy than it should have been... i liked the ninjas in this, but it was a bit out of place for GI Joe... it had a decent storyline and mediocre acting but worth the watch in theaters bc of the ninjas and when channing tatum and marlon wayans were in the suits...

i never really cared for B.I.G. but it was a well made movie... i heard that the actor playing tupac didnt do a good, job, i agree (but then again, its someone trying to portray tupac, so obviously thats not going to be easy)... overall, it was an entertaining movie, some parts could have been left out to make it a bit shorter though...

although there was a lot of action, the movie itself was pretty dull, despite there being over-the-top action ...did i just contradict myself?!?

this was a lot much better than i thought it would be... it kinda wasnt your typical horror movie, it had more of a storyline that kept it interesting...

i actually got more laughs than i was expecting (just for the record, it was under 10, but i was expecting less)... it gets 1 star for the little miss sunshine part, and .5 for the other laughs i got...

the storyline was predictiable, like any other chick flick (obviously) ...i did get a few good laughs from it, worth the watch (moreso as a rental than theatres though)

good storyline, but there were some [unnecessary] parts that could have been left out to make it shorter... it did have a good mix of comedy and drama... the pair (sandler and rogen) worked better than i thought it would... most the laughs are in the trailer...

I was expecting this to be over the top ridiculous, and it was... I was also expecting to get more laughs outta it, but i only got a few chuckles beyond what was shown in the trailer... it did have a few annoying aspects that could have been worked in better (for example, the daughter and her obsession with her dads love life and the boy friend of the owner of the cell phone blart was borrowing)...
oh, and adding the bmx and skateboarding stunts in the mall didnt really make this movie stand out or anything, it just made it seem as if this movie was targeted to a younger generation or possibly a family movie due to the fact its rated PG...
...overall a big 'meh' but i do like kevin james and i do think he played the roll well, as for everyone else, there really isnt much to say about them, which actually says a lot in itself...

OMFG! this movie could not have been any more predictable than it was!!! ...it was slow from start to end not to mention that it seemed to be a commercial for the iPhone (or that it was sponsored by the iPhone)... i like freeman and banderas is okay, but the storyline brought nothing new to the movie world... i totally understand why this was a straight to dvd movie...

everyone did a good job with their roles, but the plot wasn't anything new (murder's and cover ups)... the killer looked like a weird mix between steve carell and javier bardem!

it was an odd mix of Superbad and Nick & Norah (set in the late 1980's), but ended up being pretty average... the main character looked like an even weirder mix of Michael Cera and John Heder... it had better acting than i thought it would but it wasnt as funny as it could have been, i only got a few chuckles here and there...

at first the concept of 12 rounds seemed cool, but it got to be a bit too much, there should have been less than 10... there was a lot of mindless action just for the sake of having action... some parts were really pathetic and it had a lot more cheesy/corny parts than it should have... overall it was okay, and i got exactly what i expected from cena

it was okay, nothing that hasn't already been done but both DW and JT did a good job!

i think i would have liked it more if there was less talking and more action... i couldn't get into the story line as much as i wanted to

i liked this... its a weird combo of The Bourne Identity and Hostel... it had a pretty generic/typical storyline, but i was entertained... id say wait for the rental tho...

not my taste... not sure i fully understood every part, but i wouldnt bother watching it again...

it seemed as if this movie really tried to be good, but it was very average... not as sappy as i thought it would be, and nothing really entertaining happened, so it just seemed as if it went around in a circle... i would wait for the rental on this one, it was nothing outstanding, and im sure the book was better...
it never really explained as to why he time traveled to random places and i didnt understand why he needed to be naked, (although that could have been explained in the book, but left out in the movie) that was unnecessary... mcadams did a good job though!

it starts off good, but 20 minutes in, its sooo cliche, expect some parts to be over the top... the acting isnt as bad as i was expecting... i also had to turn the subtitles on bc the indian accent was hard to understand at times... i LOVED the part when granger was getting out of the playhouse, that was funny as well as the taxi part... overall this was actually pretty entertaining...

decent movie, plot was easy to follow, a bit more jumpy than i was expecting

it had suspense and mystery but its nothing that hasn't been done before; the only new aspect was the extreme winter weather... beckinsale did alright, not her finest performance, but thats also bc the storyline/ script weren't really that great... if i were to give this movie a letter grade it would be a 'C'

a typical matthew mcconaughey romantic comedy... it was worth the watch, but nothing that made it stand out from any else he's done...

its swimfan 2... the first was never good, so you cant expect much from this...
