You didn't get into paranormal eh..

For DVD it wasn't bad....I would have been bummed if I paid to see at the theater.

[DTro]

It was a bad version of The Blair Witch Project (which was above average at best).

I like to see some originality and thought and even some wackiness in a movie. Guess that’s why I enjoy movies directed by Tarentino and also the Coen Bros.

That one was good enough to give me some chills even watching at home. Your right about the unoriginality....

It did have enough to register on the creep factor a little.

[zamboni]

For me:

Best:

Taken

Hangover

Zombieland

I Love You, Man

Worst:

Public Enemies

Inglorious Bas----- the J*w hunter was great, rest of movie wasnt

[Shack]

You forgot:

Trailer Park Boys 2: Countdown to Liquor Day Movie

It did get 7.2/10 over 1,050 votes on The Internet Movie Database website.

I have not seen it yet, but the reviews are that it is pretty funny.

It came out late in 09 and for Canadian open weekends standards (Originally release in Canada), it did pretty well :

There's another Trailer park boys movie! That just made my day and all I have to say is "Decent!"

Biggest letdown for me was district 9. I thought I was gonna really enjoy that movie but I couldn't hit the fast forward button enough times.

Star Trek was surprisingly good. Inglorious has been in my que for quite a while but has been in wait so hopefully soon. The hangover was quite funny but no "Super Troopers".

I still haven't decided how I feel about "Watchmen". Great soundtrack, 3 complex story arcs, and visually stunning. Maybe it was the tempo that was just a bit off or something.

[McGurk]

Heckle me if you want, but the new Star Trek movie (rental) was the most satisfying movie-watching experience I got this year. Didn't get to too many other flicks, but Avatar was a letdown and still got $30 from me to see it in 3d with my wife. District 9 (rental) was worse than I anticipated from it's critical reviews. Inglorious Basterds (rental) was OK at best. Watchmen (rental), while a very original movie but taken directly from an extremely original comic, was enjoyable but far from my favorite for the year. Mixed feelings on that one, too.

On the upside; Coraline (rental) was a sleeper, I rented it and it was better than I expected. Up in 3D was fun at the theater, and I will say that the first 15 minutes of that movie brought me closer to tears than any other movie that I have ever seen. Ever. I did NOT see that coming.

Also, I am ashamed to say I haven't seen the Hangover yet.

[buzbunni]

Of what I've seen thus far...

Best:

The Hurt Locker

District 9

The Informant

I Love You Man

Worst:

The Hangover

Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen

Terminator Salvation

Still several left that I'd like to rent.

[Farley]

inglorious Basterds

The Hangover

Watchmen

Those were probably the only new movies I watched last year. Watchmen was never ending, could be about 1 hour shorter if you ask me. Never really got into any of those comic book movies anyway.

[T.S128]

saw Avatar in 3d and really liked it. some others i really liked:

the hangover

zombieland

the blindside

sherlock holmes

I love you man

the few from the list that I really like:

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Bruno

Didn't see the new Twilight movie but am sure I wouldn't like it.

[ozzie]

I saw one of those movies as I don't watch them......but the one I saw was an instant classic that I will be purchasing to use on long drives or fish house weekends.....The Hangover!!!! Funny as he%$

[mnwild]

Best DVD movies-

Hangover

Orphan

Worst-

The Bastards movie

Funny People

[zamboni]

I see I am not the only one not too wild about Inglorious Basterds. Was really the first time I was let down by Tarantino. I thought "Death Proof" was better.

[waterbound]

I don't see many movies the same year they come out, but the one's I did see and liked the best were The Hurt Locker and Up. Inglourious Basterds wasn't bad, but I'm not much of a QT fan (I think he's a little full of himself and that keeps me from really enjoying his work). I can't remember what the worst movie I saw this year was, but I did see one or two that I really didn't like at all. Watchmen wasn't one of them, but it wasn't much better than the worst for me.

[simple1]

The Hangover for me. The only one I saw.
