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
