I don't usually take the time to make a list of my favorite movies each year but I figured I would do one as my first post here (check my other blog for my albums list):
10. The Namesake
This was one of two movies this year that made me full on cry. It starts off slow but ends strong.
9. No Country for Old Men
I didn't feel as strongly about this movie as most but it was still one of the best of the year. Javier Bardem is one of the best villains in recent memory.
8. 300
Zach Snyder did an amazing job adapting this to the screen. I can't wait to see what he does with Watchmen.
7. Eastern Promises
This one really got me upon second viewing. Great performances all around.
6. Grindhouse
The most fun I've had at the theater in a long time. It's a shame they were split up for the dvd.
5. Juno
Ellen Page is fantastic in this movie. I got kinda teary eyed at the end of this movie as well.
4. Superbad/Knocked Up
I'm combining these and there's nothing you can do about it. I loved them both and think Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen are at the top of the comedy game right now.
3. Hot Fuzz
I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious. I hope these guys keep making movies together. Go check out "Spaced" if you haven't already.
2. Reign Over Me
This is the other movie that made me cry. Power house performances by Sandler and Cheadle take a great story to even greater heights.
1. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
This movie was fantastic. In a time when violence is constantly occurring, this movie was able to spread it out and make it so much more powerful. The tension that is felt any time someone has a gun creates an amazing movie experience.
