Because I'm 93% certain no one reads this anymore...

I'm doing my personal "Best of '09 list.
Keep in mind I saw about 8 movies this year since I was poor as fuck for a good 9 months of the year.
Here they are:
1. Up - I laughed, I cried, and I furthered my theory that porky Asian kids are the best.
2. Ponyo - no, it's not Miyazaki's best. The conflict is questionable, but damn it when you're broke and sad and a million miles from home chasing a dream, there's nothing like Miyazaki and little kids.
3. Coraline - Beautiful, creepy, so much fun!
4. Bad Lieutenant - HERZOG HERZOG HERZOG
5. Public Enemies - Guns sounded good, but they were all badass enough to weild a tommy gun with one hand. Slow, pensive, amazing and CHICAGO!
6. Me and Orson Welles - Absolutely charming, well-written. And hey! Zac Efron can act!
7. Jennifer's Body - Diablo Cody made a fan out of me.
8. Up in the Air - The only "Oscar Movie" on my list, but it really was that good.

The worst:
1. Where the Wild Things Are - Let's not even get started. In fact, see my earlier post.
2. GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Seriously? Suits?
3. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Michael Bay showed up at my screening. I love the guy, but damn it if it wasn't like he spat on his audience for two and a half hours.
4. The Lovely Bones - I had to see this the night the Steelers lost to the Browns - bad fucking night.


I still need to see:
Just about everything else. Except (500) Days of Summer - I saw that one, but it's not one of the best. And I Love You Man and Funny People - same stories.
