Im hoping Diggles was being his usual, sarcastic self. I gotta say I felt like this was one of the weakest years on record for movies. I can't think of one that really stuck out in my mind. I enjoyed Watchmen and Star Trek but didn't find either groundbreaking or superb.
Thought UP was great. I loved it and my 4 year old loved it....bonus.
But where was this year's "There Will Be Blood" "Gran Turino" "No Country For Old Men" or "Children of Men?" Couldn't name one. I havent seen Inglorious Basterds. District 9 gets props for originality. I laughed hysterically at Bruno. I really wanted to see "The Road" but didnt make it to a showing before it dissapeared.
It's funny because they just expanded Best Picture nominations to 10 films, and I can't think of 5 that deserve a nomination.
The Cove might be the best film I saw this year, and it's a documentary. It's a must see.
Oh, and I haven't seen it but for you gun/military lovers, I heard The Hurt Locker was phenomenal.
