Best movies of 2009
Jan 5
The year 2009 brought us some good movie entertainment. Here are MY favourites:
Best all-around movie: Star Trek
Star Trek has everything you need to be entertained. Action, comedy, and a smidge (but not too much) of romance. Honourable mention: Avatar
Best action movie: Fast and Furious
Fast and Furious was way over the top and totally unrealistic, but the action was fast and furious. Honourable mention: Terminator Salvation
Best science fiction movie: Moon
Moon was brilliantly written and filmed to portray what prolonged solitary confinement can do to someone. Sam Rockwell delivers an excellent performance. Honourable mention: Franklyn
Best romantic comedy: 500 Days of Summer
Yes, I know, 500 Days of Summer is not a love story, according to the narrator, but I think it is. The narration is very fresh and you get lots of laughs. Honourable mention: He’s Just Not That Into You
Best animated movie: Monsters vs Aliens
Monsters vs. Aliens had some of the most witty humour I’ve heard in a long while. I watched this one twice at the cinema, just for the laughs. Honourable mention: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Best drama: Julie and Julia
Julie and Julia challenges us to have dreams and actually do something to achieve them. Quite inspirational. Honourable mention: Seven Pounds
Best war movie: The Hurt Locker
Giving you an insightful look into the Iraq war, The Hurt Locker is unique and makes you think. Honourable mention: Valkyrie

Favourite movies of all time
Jul 24
Everybody has their favourite movies. And there always seems to be a lot of debate about which movies are the best. Is there really such a thing as THE best movie of all time? I don’t think so. How “good” a movie is really depends on the viewer’s taste or preferences. So it’s actually quite a subjective matter, and any arguments about which movie is better than which other movie is quite useless.
So, what are my top 3 favourite movies of all time? In no particular order:
- The 5th Element: I love Sci-Fi, and this movie combines the genre with a good plot, lots of action, emotion, and humour. It doesn’t get much better than this.
- Memento: This movie is one of the most mentally stimulating movies I’ve ever seen. And the concept (i.e. the scenes being shown in reverse order) is just so original.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: This is also a really awesome idea, turned into an enjoyable story that makes you think, feel, and laugh.
So, what are your top 3 favourite movies of all time? And why? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts with the rest of us!

Welcome
Jul 12
Welcome to my movie blog, Movie Schizo! For a long while I’ve been pondering what I could blog about. And recently it dawned on me – why not write about something I love? On average I watch 1 to 2 movies at the cinema every week. There’s nothing better than the anxious feeling of what kind of story awaits you. Sometimes there’s disappointment, sometimes it’s glorious. Imagination is the next best thing to reality. :) I hope you enjoy the things I blog about, and above all, I hope you keep coming back.
