This is not a list. The following is a wide range of great films that came out in the year 2009. We strongly urge every Citizen to check out these titles. Sorry to the Twilight fans; your movie is still arse. Stay tuned for our most anticipated movies of 2010. With the exception of ‘The Single Best Movie of the Year’, the rest are in no particular order.
The Hollywood Reporter had a chance to ask Quentin Tarantino about his favorite films of 2009, and the filmmaker responded with eight movies, yes sir – eight. He just had to be different!
Raise your hand if you have a masturbation mirror.
1. Star Trek
2. Drag Me To Hell
3. Funny People
4. Up in the Air
5. Chocolate
6. Observe and Report
7. Precious
8. An Education
Tarantino admitted that he has yet to Avatar, The Lovely Bones or Invictus, and that he needs to revisit films like Bright Star and District 9, so they might have the power to make the list. I like him, but he’s an easy target. I need to bring him down to my level of greatness. NOTE: CoF’s annual “Movies you should have seen in (insert year)” is coming soon. Three of his eight made the list. Dammit.
OBSERVE AND REPORT hit DVD shelves yesterday, and you should do yourself a favor and pick it up. I have put together a spoiler free video for you, the first few minutes of the movie and a funny closer. Hopefully this movie finds its place in the people’s home, because pretty much no one saw it in theaters. My brother and I went and we are pretty sure we pissed off the other 3 people in the house when we laughed as hard as we did. Easily my favorite Seth Rogen movie and anyone who is a fan of the director Jody Hill (Eastbound & Down) knows this fits right into his resume. It was a feet stomper for sure, one of the best of 2009. Jump for clip.
