3 movies i wish to see
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.
- Crazy Heart. At age 60, Jeff Bridges proves he’s still got it in this quiet but crowd-pleasing adaptation of Thomas Cobb’s novel. Here, he plays Bad Blake, a boozing country singer who quite literally lives up to his name. It’s a big performance in a download Crazy Heart 2009 that is sure to earn Bridges an illustrious fifth Oscar nomination — and quite possibly his first win (yep, he’s that good).
- Coraline. Ushering in the 2009 trend of children’s movies perhaps best appreciated by adults, the stop-motion animated download Coraline 2009 is dazzlingly inventive, eye-poppingly beautiful … and scary as all-get-out. Coraline’s richly strange and imaginative world gave us one of the best 3D movies ever made, and it will stay with us for a long, long time, even if that’s sometimes unfortunately manifested through horrible nightmares involving button eyes.
- Precious. Oscar winner Mo’Nique. You may want to get used to saying that, because her brilliant, out-of-left field performance in ‘Precious’ is generating the kinds of raves that most actors can only dream of. And while Precious may not be the feel-good film of the year, this ultimately triumphant story is supported by an ensemble of terrific performances worth seeing, newcomer Gabourey Sidibe in the lead. Even Mariah Carey shines as a social worker, in a performance that will almost make you forget that disaster called ‘Glitter.’ Almost.
