So I only saw 16 movies during this year that were made this year... I'll probably see a lot more from this year next year considering most of the good ones come out at the end of the year, but this is what I saw so far.
01. Wall-E
- One of the best movies I've ever seen. I love this movie and it will be one of my favorites for as long as I live. I could watch it 100 times and never get sick of Wall-E... woah!
02. The Dark Knight
- Watching Heath Ledger as The Joker is one of the reasons why I love the movies. To see someone get so lost in a character is amazing and one of the things I will miss about him.
03. Horton Hears A Who
- This was definately one of the more unexpected pleasures of the year. From scene to scene it was hard not to love Horton and even harder to stop laughing.
04. Get Smart
- Another really unexpected surprise from the year. This is the only movie ever to keep me laughing through the entire thing and for that I put it high on my list. Plus I love Anne Hathaway.
05. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
- The first Hellboy was a decent little movie I saw a while back, but this one sparked my interest for the character again. I can't wait for Hellboy III.
06. Wanted
- I went into this one expecting nothing and it blew my mind. By the end of it I was feeling so much better about myself and when a movie can do that, I love it!
07. Eagle Eye
- I had no idea what I was getting into with Eagle Eye. From one scene to the next my heart was pounding out of my chest. This is another of my favorites of the year.
08. Smart People
- This movie was an interesting character study. So far anything with Ellen Page in it has at least kept my attention and it's interesting to watch her evolve as an actress.
09. The Strangers
- This was the best horror film I saw this year. I can't say it's all that spectacular, but as far as low budget horrors go, it was very well done.
10. Cloverfield
- The one movie everyone was looking forward to had way too much of a build up. Yay, a big monster is destroying everything, but when we don't care about the characters, why would we care if they die?
11. Shutter
- This was a decent horror movie, but was far too long to keep my attention and by the time it gets around to explaining everything in the end, you just wish everyone would get killed so the movie could stop.
12. Saw V
- The Saw series doesn't seem to get much better with this installment. Save for a few gross out moments it really just seems to be setting up the next movie more than anything.
13. The Ruins
- Oh yay... killer plants... that imitate cell phones... even though they're in the middle of the Mexican jungle... and they're horrible CGI... ugh.
14. Funny Games
- I loved the original Funny Games and even though it's a direct remake, the actors are uninspired and show very little emotion for the horrible things going on around them.
15. The X-Files: I Want to Believe
- I wasn't expecting a damn thing with this movie... and even then I got let down. They introduce characters and never tell what happens to them. You're supposed to only care about Mulder and Scully I guess.
16. The Happening
- With the Quentin Tarintino excuse of "oh, it was supposed to turn out like that," M. Night has made this the last movie of his I will ever watch. And I was one of the ones who hated The Sixth Sense.
