Top 10 Films of 2009

It has become sort of a tradition here at the end of the year/beginning of the following year that I go through my favorite film releases of the year, and this year is no different. 2009 turned out to be a very good year when it came to smaller movies, though there were a couple of pretty good tent pole releases but for the most part they failed to deliver the goods, and as usual the…

(500) Days of Summer (Blu-ray)

Romantic Comedies, how I loath thee. It seems there are hundreds that come out every year and for the most part they aren’t much to write about, but this year we were given two this that really rise above the rest, Away We Go, and (500) Days of Summer, but these two films proved there is a way to bring something fresh and new to one …

Inglourious Basterds (Blu-ray)

There are very few directors out there whose work I follow almost religiously; Quentin Tarantino is one of them. Tarantino has been working on Inglourious Basterds for the better part of a decade now, always putting it aside for other projects (Kill Bill, and Grindhouse). After those two projects he decided to move forwa…

Jennifer’s Body (DVD)

Horror movies are a dime a dozen these days. It seems every month there is a new cookie-cutter slasher film with a cast of hot up-incoming teen heart-throbs, but lets be serious they usually suck. But for every by the numbers film there is one that tries to be a little different than the rest.

Night at the Museum 2 (Blu-ray)

For the most part I enjoy Ben Stiller’s work, he has been a very funny part of most of my life, with films like Zoolander, The Cable Guy (which he directed), and There’s Something about Mary. Thats why I can’t really fault him for making movies like Madagascar, and Night at The Museum. But to my surprise I actually found myself enjoying the first Night at the Museum movie so when a sequel was announced I gave thought I would give it a shot.

A Very Sunny Christmas (Blu-ray)

Ahh the Christmas season, for some it’s a time of loving and caring, for others it involves breaking into other peoples homes and stealing their presents, or a bevy of “Santa’s” bringing you gifts to sleep with your mom, or even your dad buying all the stuff you wanted for himself.

(500) Days of Summer DVD/Blu-ray

On December 22, 20th Century Fox will release one of my favorite films of 2009, Marc Webb’s directorial debut (500) Days of Summer on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel star in this unique dissection of the uncertain and whimsical year-and-a-half of one young man’s no-holds-barred love affair, where he learns [...]

Jennifer’s Body DVD/Blu-ray

On December 29th, 20th Century Fox Home Video will release the Diablo Cody written Megan Fox horror film Jennifer’s Body on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.  Sexy temptress Megan Fox (Transformers) is hotter than hell as Jennifer, a gorgeous, seductive cheerleader who takes evil to a whole new level after she’s possessed by a [...]

I Love You, Man (Blu-ray)

I Love You, Man (Blu-ray)

We seem to be in a new comedy age in this decade, the late 90’s and early 2000’s gave us the rebirth and slow death of the Teen Comedy, now thanks to people like Judd Apatow and Kevin Smith more adult oriented comedy is coming front and center.  When Pete (Paul [...]
