I went away for a week or so, but I did get to see a few movies in theaters while I was away. I'm currently forming my list of the top ten movies of 2009, but before I post that I've decided to give short snippet reviews of the movies I saw.
Up in the Air - For me this is not a perfect movie, but a pretty damn good one. The strongest element of the film is the acting. Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick are all fantastic but in my opinion Kendrick (who I first saw in a movie called Camp) is the stand-out. The story is excellent and it is really touching and funny at the same time. Jason Reitman has proved himself to be a director who has really not messed up with a film yet and will hopefully continue this trend.
Up in the Air - 4 out of 4
Nine - I really didn't like Nine. I felt the musical sequences were redundant, and unneeded. The performances weren't that good and the story was long and boring. The best thing about it was the aesthetic and I have seen better. In other words there is absolutely no point in seeing this movie it's a waste of your time, go rent Chicago.
Nine - 1.5 out of 4
So I'll be getting back to you all with my top of 2009 list, a best of the decade list, and possible a best performances of 2009 list.
