Movies in 2009
movies seen for the first time
01. Marley and Me (2008) 5/5 1/3/09
Marley & Me was absolutely brilliant. Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson did a great job playing the loving couple who adopt the maniac dog. Marley is just so cute and so full of energy but he has compassion for his owners. Of course, the movie made me cry too.
02. Bride Wars (2009) 2/5 1/18/09
This was one of those movies in which my mom and I were bored on a Sunday afternoon and decided to see. It sounded like a good concept but the ending was horrible. I don't like Kate Hudson so I may have my reasons for disliking the movie.
03. He's Just Not That Into You (2009) 4/5 2/8/09
I found this to be a very cute movie. It had a good concept was directed beautifully. Ken Kwapis did an amazing job adding tidbits he has also added to The Office. All of the acting was done well and it was better than I though it would be.
04. Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) 3/5 2/15/09
Another movie my mom and I went to see on a Sunday afternoon. Movie did show NYC very well and the signs of an addiction. I found the ending to be odd. Overall, it was a good movie.
05. The Great Dictator (1940) 5/5 2/17/09
We watched this movie in AP English Language and it was brilliant. I love the era of the first "talkies" and black-and-white movies. The comedy was brilliantly done by Charlie Chaplin.
06. La Bamba (1987) 2/5 2/18/09
Watched in Spanish 3 so it had subtitles. I have that stupid song in my head though...
07. Transformers (2007) 3/5 2/20/09
Watched in Web Design. I was so tired that day and didn't really feel like watching the movie. It was okay though.
08. Slumgdog Millionarie (2008) 5/5 2/22/09
"It is written." I was so excited to see this movie. It was brilliant and amazing. Deserved every Oscar.
09. Super Size Me (2001) 3/5 3/30/09
Watched in AP English. Well done and had a good message. No more fast food.
10. Sunshine Cleaning (2008) 3/5 4/12/09
So odd. Cleaning up after dead people is creepy. Wasn't the best movie to watch when you have a friend who killed himself...
11. Rescue Dawn (2006) 4/5 4/17/09
Vietnam War movie! LOLed that is had Jeremy Davies in it. It was a good movie for my AP English class.
12. Grey Gardens (1975) 5/5 4/23/09
Ridicoulusly amazing... another AP English movie.
13. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist(2008) 4/5 5/15/09
Cute movie. Loved how they used NYC as the background. Reminded me of Juno.
14. The Nanny Diaries (2007) 3/5 5/17/09
Cute but chick-flicky. Loved the use of anthropology in the movie.
15. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)
3/5 5/26/09
Ms. Minkser made us watch this was it was a great late 80s movie.
16. The Proposal (2009) 2.5/5 6/21/09
I didn't find it to be a great chick-flick. It seemed to go one for quite a while but it was good in some parts. Betty White is pretty amazing in this.
17. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) 1/5 6/25/2009
Horrible movie. The first one was so much better. Kathleen and I couldn't see The Hangover so we went to see this. Oh it was bad and had the most random people in it like Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling, and Craig Robinson....
18. The Hangover (2009) 5/5 6/26/09
OMGLOLSOHILARIOUS. THIS MOVIE IS SO AMAZING. BABY! TIGERS! POLICE CARS! NAKED CHINESE MEN!
19. Leatherheads (2008) 2/5 7/04/09
Eh. The movie wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. The only reason I watched it was because of John Krasinkski, haha.
20. Away We Go (2009) 4/5 7/04/09
Such a cute movie. John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph were so good together. All of the character had a great quirkiness and it was brilliant.
21. Once (2006) 5/5 7/05/09
I've been meaning to see this movie for a while since I saw them perform at the Academy Awards. thatgirl_soph talks about Glen and Mar a lot and I am so glad to have seen this movie.
22. Waitress (2007) 4/5 7/05/09
Pretty good movie. Keri Russel and Nathan Fillion have such good chemistry and it was a cute story. Another indie film with no conclusion, haha.
23. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) 5/5 7/17/09
HBP was amazing in terms of acting and all that jazz but at moments I felt that the plot sort of fell apart. I just don't know what to think about it. I am worried of what they are going to do to DH.
24. Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) 5/5 7/29/09
Watched it for my Intro to Film class and it was great. I loved how they used digital intermediate to focus on theme colors: blue/green/yellow/red. The story was very cute with Amelie trying to make people happy and figuring herself out. Beautiful.
25. Freedom Writers (2007) 4/5 8/5/09
I had read the book The Freedom Wrtier's Diary sometime last year or the year before and really enjoyed it after seeing a clip of the movie at a community service event. The movie was great and went off the book well.
26. Finding Neverland (2004) 5/5 8/9/09
Beautiful movie. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet play off each other lovely and it shows throughout the film. Of course this movie made me cry but it was very good. I loved it.
27Wonder Boys (2000) 4/5 8/22/09
Ummm... I watched this movie with my dad when we had Starz for free. Kind of weird but it had good acting. I really don't remember the plot though.
28.Julie & Julia (2009) 2/5 9/16/09
No plot to this movie at all. Julie completes the cookbook and that is about it. Julia Stiles hates her doing so and that is it. Meryl Streep was amazing though. Such a beautiful performance. So happy and joyful.
28.Become Jane (2007) 4/5 9/26/09
Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy have great chemistry. I love Jane Austen and movies which show the personal life of authors rather than focusing on their professional one.
