hello fellow chrome domes: after watching the last part of the "OSCAR's" last night... i disagreed on the category of movie of the year in which "HURT LOCKER" was voted as "best movie of the year". in my opinion... the best movie and my favorite movie of 2009 was "AVATAR".
so... how 'bout U? what was your personal "best movie" of 2009? was it "hurt locker"? avatar? blind side? what's your story? oh... on a side note.... i have never heard of the movie "hurt locker" until last night. if U have watched that movie.... did U agree that it was deserving of "best movie" of 2009?

Haven't seen Hurt Locker yet, looks like good entertainment. I have a couple friends that are former EOD guys and they couldn't stand it....take it for what it is entertainment and for that it one for best picture. I would have like to seen District 9 win but my favorite movie of 2009 was Star Trek hand's freakin' down !!!
Best picture for 2010 : Restrepo

Zombieland!!
Very funny, and it had zombies. What's not to love? (I am an admitted zombie geek, though)

That too, the scene with Bill Murray will go down as one of the funniest scenes ever !!! -

The only movie I saw in 2009 was Couples Retreat. SO......I guess what would be it.

I don't go to the movies much but I thought "Inglorious Basterds" was very entertaining.

It's Avatar for me. Haven't seen any of the others that were nominated, but Avatar just blew me away!!

Julie & Julia. I'm fascinated by Streep, always have been. She has the talent to really convince me of the personality of the character--and here looking at Streep was looking at Julia Child, all the movements, inflections of speech, everything. The storyline, IMO, did not do enough to show the source material for Julia, My Life in France.by Julia Child and her nephew. Great book. So much of Streep's acting obviously came from the insights into Child's personality contained in the book.
I haven't seen Blind Side, I've read the book though. There's really not much detailed material about the Touhy family in the book, however. I don't know what they used to flesh out the characters of the Touhy family. We were really eager to read the book because Sean Touhy and my wife are related, his great grandmother and my wife's grandfather were bother and sister. The book just didn't flesh out the characters, they were flat cardboard cut outs. This was the author's effort to show people he knew a lot about one part of football, IMO. We did find it interesting that he went to Newman School in New Orleans. That's where the Manning boys, Peyton, Eli and Cooper, also went.
