So, I was pretty disappointed with the movies that came out in the first tow quarters of the year, but after District 9 it seemed like they were getting better. Fantastic Mr. Fox, Men Who Stare at Goats, and Pirate Radio were greatly odd and fun, while Avatar was a great blockbuster with an impressive story, animation, and world then Invictus kept me on the edge of my four seats (a bit slow paced, so I had to lay down, but it made Rugby and the political sphere of post-apartheid South Africa a fascinating subject). Ponyo and Up were great ones to see with my college cohort and fun adventures themselves too. Overall, if 2010 keeps this stream of good movies going I'm gonna be pretty happy!
Anyone have a favorite film of the year? Any good ones you guys are looking forward too?
