Best Movies of 2009 - Top 3
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.
- Food, Inc. Denial. It’s what’s for dinner… breakfast, lunch and snacks. It’s also why you might want to put that cheeseburger down (if you didn’t after seeing ‘Super Size Me’) and face the hard facts presented in this stunning expose. Oft-referred-to as the “scariest movie of 2009,” this Food Inc is a mind-boggling — and stomach-turning — look into the bowels, er, mechanics of the companies and government agencies largely responsible for America’s E.coli-related illnesses and escalating obesity epidemic.
- Zombieland. The Bill Murray cameo alone is worth the price of admission to this undead-ridden action-comedy, but it’s the dysfunctional Butch-Sundance dynamic between zombie slayers Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg that makes this flick so bloody fun to watch. That, and the incredibly inventive ways it concocts to off the undead. Our favorite: death by banjo in download Zombieland movie
- Inglourious Basterds. Aldo Raine wasn’t lying in tarantino Inglourious Basterds when he stated his crew’s lone goal: “Killin’ Nazis.” What he didn’t explain is just how awesome and entertaining their Hitler-hunting journey would be, thanks to Quentin Tarantino’s unparalleled storytelling abilities and dialogue matched by stellar acting (see: Christoph Waltz). There’s action, there’s film-geek fodder, and yes, there’s someone named Bear Jew turning Nazi skulls into pudding with a baseball bat. It’s tongue-in-cheek revenge that only someone as twisted — and talented — as QT could pull off.
