Series worth watching 2009

Top 15 movies I saw in 2009

I titled this post the way I did because I don't see all the movies I watch in a theater. At least right now, I have access to some screener copies I can borrow from a friend. So, all of these movies may not have come out in 2009 and I don't feel like looking up the ones that may not have, but I didn't see them until 2009. They're in alphabetical order. There were a number of movies I wanted to see but didn't, so this isn't a top 15 list, just a best of what I watched.

Changeling
Coraline
District 9
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
Grand Torino
Moon
Slumdog Millionaire
Star Trek
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Hurt Locker
The Visitor
The Wrestler
Up In The Air
Where The Wild Things Are

2009 Round-Up

2009 Round-Up

Originally, I was going to take all the data I had collected and put together a sort of Annual Report of my life for the last year, but then I didn’t feel like it once the time came to actually do it. I do this a lot. I think of things I want to do and then don’t actually do them. But, since I collected the data, and actually posted 10 out of 12 months of it on the blog, I thought I should at least sum up the year.
