3 movies i want to buy
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 download brilliant — and we can only hope the sequel exhibits the same scrappy daring. Save Wikus!
- The Hangover. Not since ‘Borat’ have we laughed as hard (and constantly) as during ‘The Hangover,’ the rare laugher in which nearly every scene is hysterical. Sure, it made Bradley Cooper leading man material, but the real stars are breakout Zach Galifianakis — who steals every single scene he speaks in — and Ken Jeong’s (making stereotypes hilarious as Mr. Chow). Add in Ed Helms’ missing tooth and a Phil Collins-loving Mike Tyson, and that’s the formula for laughing till you cry. The Hangover movie the biggest comedy of all time for a reason.
- Avatar. You’re probably already tired of hearing about how “James Cameron has completely revolutionized filmmaking” with his 12-years-in-the-making 3D extravaganza. Well, sorry to say it, but he kind of has. The Avatar is the first movie in which 3D is seamlessly integrated into almost every scene to eye-popping and, frankly, gorgeous effect. Heck, watching this groundbreaking epic might even make you feel like you’re king of the world.
