3 movies i enjoyed
Here are the 3 best movies of 2009 that got our adrenaline pumping and the dynamite exploding. We love good movies and have seen hundreds in our time.
- The Blind Side. It’s easy to see why America has fallen head over heels for this true-life story of Leigh Anne Toughy (Sandra Bullock), a well-to-do white Memphis woman, and Michael Oher, the black teen (Quintin Aaron) she adopts off the streets and nurtures into a star athlete. It’s irresistible, charming, reliably inspirational and download The Blind Side comes with a fairy-tale ending we know actually happened. Of course, it’s also got football — and is truly the greatest tale of a left tackle ever produced.
- Nine. None of the songs from Rob Marshall’s musical — based on the stage musical, which was based on Fellini’s ‘8 1/2′ — are what you’d call hummable. But that’s a forgivable flaw when you have such fine acting from Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard (who deserves a second Oscar) and Judi Dench (who deserves our eternal awe). It won’t revolutionize the genre, but it’s stylish, attractive, sexy, and entertaining … yup, we’ll take Nine.
- The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson has never been wittier, funnier or more emotionally accessible than he is here … with a stop-motion animation movie about chicken-pilfering foxes and their animal brethren (featuring the inimitable voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jason Schwartzman). Go figure. Download Fantastic mr Fox movie like ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ meets ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’ Which, of course, is a very, very good thing.
