OK folks, here are my top 5 movies of 2009!

5.) Fantastic Mr. Fox- The best animated feature this year because it used actual puppets!  Wes Anderson is a genius.

4.) A Serious Man- One of the Coen Brothers finest, though it will leave you scratching your head.

3.) The Hangover- Easily the funniest movie of the year, if not 5 years.

2.) Inglourious Basterds- Tarantino’s best flick since Pulp Fiction and Christoph Waltz deserves an Oscar.

1.) Star Trek- By far the most fun at the movies this year- action, romance, humour & great storytelling.

Please feel free to post your comments about these picks or add any of your own…

The Golden Globe nominations were announced today- click here for the complete list.

Yes, there were some amazing flicks and performances this year- Star Trek, District 9, The Hangover, Up In The Air and I absolutely loved Michael Stuhlbarg in “A Serious Man”.

Now, let’s take a moment to “dis”honour this year’s worst movies.  Here’s a great article to get the creative juices flowing.

Let us know- What Was The Worst Movie Of 2009?

Back from Vegas…in one piece.  The Warner Bros. Hangover DVD junket was an amazing experience.  Flying executive class, massive suite at Caesar’s Palace, Kobe steak dinner, interviewing celebrities and basically just taking it all in!  I’ll post the BT segment tomorrow featuring my interviews with director Todd Phillips and some of the cast of 2009’s most outrageous comedy.

So stoked for Avatar this week.  Can James Cameron pull it off?

Here’s something to pass the time- introducing 5-second films!

Enjoy…

It’s certainly the funniest movie in years- but ever?  Let me know your pick for funniest film ever…I’ve always been partial to The Birdcage or the first Ace Ventura.

So Will Smith has topped the list of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, yet again.  Read the details here.

This story is predictable and boring so I want to look forward- let’s talk bankable stars down the road.  Who is the next big thing?  Someone suggested Sam Worthington today.  It’s a great call since the Terminator Salvation star will soon be seen in James Cameron’s Avatar & the Clash of the Titans remake.  I still think Karl Urban (Bones in the new Star Trek) is gonna be huge.  I’ve also heard Chris Pine, Justin Long and the guys from The Hangover are ones to watch in the next few years.  Let me know your thoughts…
