Movies of 2009

Yeah!, This comes almost a month after 2009. Still, I can't let the year go by without writing about my favorite Movies

In no particular order:

Avatar: Can you beat that? Well, sinking a ship is big. Terminator makes him a Sci-fi creator. What does creating a whole new world make him? Atleast for me, Cameron is the new, stylized, hip J.R.R Tolkien. Kudos to the new 'virtual-cameras'!!

Watchmen: I'm a total sucker for graphic novels and I go crazy with excitement when they make them into movies. Zack Snyder stole my heart with 300 and killed me lovingly with watchmen.

X-Men Origins Wolverine: It's always difficult to keep people interested in a prequel. What ever the critics say, personally I love Wolverine( My favorite X-Men). I love Jackman and Liev Schreiber baring their claws and going at each other.

Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen: What were they thinking at the end? Why is hollywood giving me glimpses of bollywood? Matrix of leadership!?.. Ok!.. Primes have souls whom Sam sees when he dies? uff!.. So the bad guys get Sam's parents to blackmail him? huh!... BOLLYWOOD!!!

The Hangover: Hmm!.. we can't pass this year without mentioning this movie. I can already see my guy friends grinning at the mention of it. What more can I say?

The Ugly Truth: Yes!, It's a cliche. But, I liked it. Common!, which girl doesn't like watch Gerald Butler? uff!.. Knocked me off with 300 and made me laugh in The Ugly Truth. A total popcorn flick.

Ice Age-Dawn of the Dinosaurs: Scrat finally found a fickle minded lady who makes him forget the acorn for a while!.. Aren't Ellie and Manny always cute with their enormous bottoms?! :P Oops! Sorry!

Inglorious Bastards: Quentin Tarantino does it again!..Wow! He let his imagination run wild and Hitler dies in a movie theatre?!! Finally the movies saved us from the 2nd world war!.. That is so hot!! You know what Mr. Tarantino?.."I think this might just be your masterpiece" :)

2012: Yet another movie, a mixture of mishaps, global-warming, introspection and hope. Cheers to the magnificent special affects. Balanced performances by every one. John Cussack is back and it's nice to watch him again. Special mention to Sidney Poitier.

Jennifer's Body: How could I forget this movie. Hmm.. Dablo Cody. She gave me a shocker when I read some of her blogposts. I loved Juno. Jennifer's Body is the same on certain things- the same un-apologizing tone in which the movie is told. But then I had a certain relish and fun watching a flesh-eating cheerleader!.. Trust me!.. It was exciting!! It won't go down as great cinema, but man!, who doesn't like some vampire, lesbian, pop killings - horror/comedy/thriller - all in one?

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: It is difficult to keep the audience interested after 5 parts. It is more difficult to impress the audience if 90% of them have read the series and constantly discuss them over the web. Cheers to the director and the kids (Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliff et al). It's interesting to watch them grow up.

Rest of the movies I kinda liked : Up, Aliens vs Monsters, Star Trek - But they just din't touch the mark!

Looking back, half the movies I liked this year seem to be in the Fantasy/Sci-Fi genre.
