The 3 Most Interesting 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. Download A Serious Man movie 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.
- Nine. None of the songs from Rob Marshall’s musical — based on the stage musical, which was based on Fellini’s ‘8 1/2′ — are what you’d call hummable. But that’s a forgivable flaw when you have such fine acting from Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard (who deserves a second Oscar) and Judi Dench (who deserves our eternal awe). It won’t revolutionize the genre, but it’s stylish, attractive, sexy, and entertaining … yup, we’ll take download Nine.
- The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson has never been wittier, funnier or more emotionally accessible than he is here … with a stop-motion animation movie about chicken-pilfering foxes and their animal brethren (featuring the inimitable voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jason Schwartzman). Go figure. Fantastic mr Fox animated movie like ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ meets ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’ Which, of course, is a very, very good thing.
