2009 Best & Worst Continues!

Some interesting movie choices for 2009 have graced these pages. Most worthwhile, a few, quite unpleasant. Part II is just as juicy as the first; 2009 wasn't a bust after all!

The Best (Part II):

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Comical, of the quirky sort, and pleasingly endearing.



Up
(Check out the review; it was one of my first!!!!)



Precious
So rough around the edges you cannot avoid feeling for the characters. Real, painful, terrifying. You must watch this film both to be aware of the truths of many individuals and to appreciate the strength of those who can thrive in such a reality.



The Princess and the Frog
See my review........ an absolutely adorable film.



Zombieland
You must add this to your zombie collection!!



Ahhhhh, those were my top picks of 2009 - if you beg to differ, shoot me an email or post on the blog.

More Honorable Mentions:

Inglorious Basterds
Up for a few Golden Globe awards, Tarantino's own twist to WWII's operations was superbly written and distinctly acted.



Taken
Revenge that is completely understandable.



Coraline
Now that I'm posting this, I'm hoping I won't regret not putting this in my top 9. Clever and dark; quality work.



And FAILURES, Part Duos:

Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen
How can your execution be so awful when the first one succeeded as a decent story and as a credible, Transformers tale?



Dragonball Evolution
Just look at the dvd cover.. enough said.



I hope you, as I, look forward to what pleasures (and terrors) 2010 shall bring.

Danae signing off!
