FILMS!
The Good
1. Up
Blew me away. Great story, lovely animation, crazy dogs!
2. 9
Far better than the critics reckoned; a simple tale beautifully rendered.
3. District 9
Much maligned - everyone missed the point.
4. Monsters Versus Aliens
A film that made it clear it didn't like Americans.
5. Zombieland
Caught me by surprise.
6. Star Trek
Wasn't brilliant, had moments I hated, 'Bones' was brilliant!
The Bad and the Ugly
1. Franklyn
Utter bollocks, predictable and quite stupid.
2. Watchmen
Everything was perfect until they changed the story.
3. Drag me to Hell
About as scary as a Yorkshire terrier.
4. Knowing
Unbelievable rubbish.
5. The Spirit
Lasted 5 minutes. The reason why superhero films can be a really bad idea.
There were other films I saw in 2009, many of which never lasted on my radar for more than seconds. I can't actually remember anything about Wolverine, probably because it was poo, There were also a number of films from 2008 I caught on DVD, but nothing sticks in my mind.
