The 3 Popular Movies of 2009
Here are the 3 best movies of 2009 that got our adrenaline pumping and the dynamite exploding. We love good movies and have seen hundreds in our time.
- A Serious Man. The Coen bothers are back in fine form (which, depending on your take on ‘Burn After Reading,’ they make never have left) in what many are calling their most personal film to date with this comedic drama about a Minnesota college professor’s (Michael Stuhlbarg) life quickly coming to pieces. A Serious Man 720p is rich with the duo’s signature dark humor, and while not all of it made perfect sense, we had fun trying to figure it out, anyway.
- The Princess and the Frog. While much of the pre-release hype surrounded the significance of Disney’s first African-American princess (a long-overdue accomplishment not to be dismissed), it proved only one reason to celebrate this triumph. In a year ruled by 3D, stop-motion animation, motion-capture technology, etc, Disney went back to its roots and crafted a charming, toe-tapping and timeless tale in that good ol’ classic hand-drawn style download The Princess and the Frog.
- Star Trek. After so much speculation, it didn’t seem as though J.J. Abrams’ reinvention of download Star Trek movie could possibly deliver. But deliver it did, with a terrific ensemble cast (including a snarky new Kirk in Chris Pine), rousing action sequences, and a storyline that sort of almost made sense. It was everything a summer movie should be, and kudos to Abrams for being bold enough to reboot the franchise — may it live long and prosper.
