UPDATE: Big week – I saw Brothers, Bad Lt. and An Education!
Here are the movies I missed in the theater before 2009 was over, but am determined to see asap:
The last two standing:
Brothers Really good remake of a really good film. Has some unique elements to it, such as developing characters in conflict where you pull for all of them instead of picking sides. I will try to write a review post about it.
An Education Not to bash on the Sandra Bullock Oscar more, but Carey Mulligan gave a much better performance. And I wish Peter Sarsgaard did more films, he is one of my favorite actors out there.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans How did I not know this was a Werner Herzog film! Very entertaining.
Precious Saw it, great film!
Saw it (in the theater), review here
Avatar
Saw it, review here
Paper Heart
It was ok, had its moments, but I have seen enough awkward teen movies to last a lifetime, and am getting too old to relate
Adventureland
Sweet, true story. review here
The Blind Side
Saw it (in the theater), love Jeff Bridges!
Crazy Heart
Could not live up to the first one, but had its moments
Boondock Saints 2
Hilarious, obvious Napoleon Dynamite influence
Gentlemen Broncos
Antichrist Saw it, whoa!
The Road Saw it on hotel pay-per-view, very good, very depressing. I found it funny how the same world can be created in this and Book of Eli but treated so differently in the story.
So, I’m getting there! I will update as I go.
