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
What were your favourites of 2009?
Everybody loves Summer. And it’s no different for Tom Hansen. When Summer is employed in the office where Tom works, he finds love at first sight. But Summer is no ordinary girl. There’s something about her, and Tom can’t put his finger on it. It’s no surprise, then, that she’s all he can think about. I should state, though, that this is not a love story. This is made clear right at the beginning of the movie.
