Oh man. Such a good year. There wasn't really a single movie that I didn't like out of the ones I watched
1. The Dark Knight. I could watch this movie over and over and it never gets old. The Joker is probably my favorite villain in any movie
2. Revolutionary Road. Not exactly a movie I'd want to rewatch much but it's really, really well-done. DiCaprio/Winslet/Shannon were all great
3. Cloverfield. Still one of the funnest moviegoing experiences I've had. It doesn't hold up nearly as well on a smaller screen though
4. WALL-E. If the movie lived up to the first half it might be my favorite Pixar movie. The second half was pretty weak though
5. Gran Torino
6. Tropic Thunder
7. Slumdog Millionaire
8. Iron Man
9. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was good but pretty disappointing. It could've been so much better. My biggest problem was that the character didn't make much sense in the middle portions. Like when he was in his 20 year old body he didn't act like a 50-60 year old at ALL. Unlike some people though I didn't mind the length at all. It had a pretty epic SCOPE to it
I saw them all but Burn After Reading, Wall-E, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, and Milk.
Pineapple Express is one of if not my favorite "stoner comedy," replacing the classic Half-Baked for me for the most part. But my favorite would be between Gran Torino, which I've rewatched a million times on HBO, and The Wrestler which I thought was amazing. Mickey Rourke should have got an Oscar for it. I think I like the idea of Cloverfield more than I liked the execution, but I'd watch it again if it was on right now.
Tropic Thunder I saw in theater and laughed, but I don't remember much about it now. Just RDJ being black.
Everything else was inoffensive and passable to good.
A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart.
Saw Slumdog Millionaire on one of the movie channels while channel flipping. Kind of a blur though.
I watched the Dark Night on a bootleg cause I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I wasn't really into it though. Superhero movies are never really my cup of tea.
The Wrestler was a great fucking movie. I've watched it numerous times, it's one of my favorite movies ever. Rourke is fantastic in it.
Watched WALL-E on HBO once, didn't really pay attention to it though.
Cloverfield was okay. Probably would have been better in a theater.
Milk was good.
Tropic Thunder was hilarious.
I usually detest stoner comedies but Pineapple Express was funny.
