Most Addicted Movies of 2009 - Top 3
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.
- District 9. Overrated? Not at all. Neill Blomkamp’s first feature gave us something new: a sci-fi movie with brains, an action flick that spoke movingly against segregation while still thrilling us with exploding alien heads and oozing black goo. It’s no exaggeration to call District 9 brilliant — and we can only hope the sequel exhibits the same scrappy daring. Save Wikus!
- 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 download Nine movie.
- Precious. Oscar winner Mo’Nique. You may want to get used to saying that, because her brilliant, out-of-left field performance in ‘Precious’ is generating the kinds of raves that most actors can only dream of. And while Precious 720p movie may not be the feel-good film of the year, this ultimately triumphant story is supported by an ensemble of terrific performances worth seeing, newcomer Gabourey Sidibe in the lead. Even Mariah Carey shines as a social worker, in a performance that will almost make you forget that disaster called ‘Glitter.’ Almost.
