3 movies i like
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.
- Crazy Heart. At age 60, Jeff Bridges proves he’s still got it in this quiet but crowd-pleasing adaptation of Thomas Cobb’s novel. Here, he plays Bad Blake, a boozing country singer who quite literally lives up to his name. It’s a big performance in a Crazy Heart 720p movie that is sure to earn Bridges an illustrious fifth Oscar nomination — and quite possibly his first win (yep, he’s that good).
- Zombieland. The Bill Murray cameo alone is worth the price of admission to this undead-ridden action-comedy, but it’s the dysfunctional Butch-Sundance dynamic between zombie slayers Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg that makes this flick so bloody fun to watch. That, and the incredibly inventive ways it concocts to off the undead. Our favorite: death by banjo in Zombieland
- Up. Everyone knew Pixar’s latest was going to be good (it’s Pixar, duh!), but nothing about “an old man attaches balloons to his house and flies away” prepared us for the heartbreaking sadness, the meltingly tender love story, the wondrous journey and the irrepressible sense of fun that permeated this truly exquisite film. It’s no small thing to say this, but download pixar Up might just be the best movie Pixar’s ever made.
