3 movies i will download
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.
- District 9. Overrated? Not at all. Neill Blomkamp’s first feature gave us something new: a sci-fi movie with brains, an action flick that spoke movingly against segregation while still thrilling us with exploding alien heads and oozing black goo. It’s no exaggeration to call the movie District 9 brilliant — and we can only hope the sequel exhibits the same scrappy daring. Save Wikus!
- Coraline. Ushering in the 2009 trend of children’s movies perhaps best appreciated by adults, the stop-motion animated download Coraline movie 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.
- 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.
