I have not reviewed most of these movies and books and probably won’t. The fact that they are on my top of the year list should be good enough. :)
Now for my Top Movies of 2009, in no particular order:
Note: I have not seen the following movies that are up for all kinds of rewards, so they are not on my list for that reason: 500 Days of Summer, Inglorious Basterds, Hurt Locker (which I can’t imagine I’ll ever see), Invictus.
1. Zombieland (I do think this was my favorite)
2. The Informant!
3. Up!
4. Monsters vs. Aliens
5. The Hangover (no, this was my favorite)
6. Up In the Air
7. Coraline
8. Avatar
9. Ponyo
I guess I don’t have a #10.
