Best 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.
- I Love You, Man. There exists a minority of us movie lovers who consider this gut-buster the best comedy of the year — yep, even over a certain Vegas-set blockbuster. Master of improv Paul Rudd proves he may just be the funniest guy working in Hollywood as an impossibly amiable, recently engaged real estate agent on the hunt for a best man (enter Jason Segel, in his funniest stint yet). I Love You Man movie is the bromance to end all bromances — so let’s take a break from all the bromances for a while, shall we?
- 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 Nine movie.
- Star Trek. After so much speculation, it didn’t seem as though J.J. Abrams’ reinvention of download Star Trek 2009 could possibly deliver. But deliver it did, with a terrific ensemble cast (including a snarky new Kirk in Chris Pine), rousing action sequences, and a storyline that sort of almost made sense. It was everything a summer movie should be, and kudos to Abrams for being bold enough to reboot the franchise — may it live long and prosper.
