#1 of 2009...THE HURT LOCKER
The best film of the year. Period. End of discussion. Kathryn Bigelow's film is leaps-and-bounds better than anything released this year. The film has won so many awards that it's almost a cliche choice, but I can't help it. It really is THAT good. The characters are so finely interwoven that one can't help but to care about them. A star turn by Jeremy Renner should make him a household name, the supporting performances, particularly from Anthony Mackie are marvelous, and the screenplay by Mark Boal is the most complexly put together of the year. It's not only the best film of the year, but I think it's in the running for one of the best of the entire 2000's. When you think of great WWII movies, you think of Saving Private Ryan, From Here to Eternity, or The Bridge on the River Kwai. When you think of Vietnam, you think of Platoon or Apocalypse Now. When you think of Desert Storm, you think of Black Hawk Down or Jarhead. In the annuls of time, when you think of a film that best describes the war in Iraq...that film will be The Hurt Locker.
#2 of 2009...(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Every year, there are films that I consider to be "best", and films that I consider to be "favorites" (i.e. Would want to watch over and over and over and over). Sometimes I find myself lucky enough to see a film that easily fits into both categories. This year, that film is (500) Days of Summer. It is perhaps the most wonderful, funny, brutually honest film about the ups and downs of relationships made in the past decade. All the creativity is boundless. It contains some of my favorites sequences of the year, including "the morning after musical number" and "the split-screen expectations/reality scene". The script takes some serious chances, and I think it happens to succeed with every one. The soundtrack is pitch-perfect, the screenplay IS the best original of the year, and the performances of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are nothing less than breaktakingly good. This is one of those "smaller" films that audiences need to discover, and I hope they do. For my money, it's my "favorite" film of the year.
#3 of 2009...AVATAR
It's hard to come up with anything new to say about Avatar, the brain-child of storyteller James Cameron. In what will eventually (and sooner before later) be the highest-grossing film of all time, Cameron emerges us into another world once again. A world of blue-skinned aliens, of giant trees, of deadly monsters, of flying soul-mate creatures, of islands floating in the sky, of literal connection with our natural surroundings. It doesn't hurt that the cast gives wonderful performances, even if it can be argued that it's "only motion capture". It's not, and that's what makes the story, and the emotions, so believeable. When I left my screening for this one, a studio rep asked me my thoughts...the best thing I could come up with is still the way I feel about it... "Epic...in every sense of the word. A true experience that rarely comes along, and one that will stand as a milestone in cinema history."
#4 of 2009...DISTRICT 9
The most wholly original film of the year, shot in a particularly challenging (and completely successful) way, Neill Blomkamp's vision is clearly one to be reckoned with. The story of a man (played brilliantly by Sharlto Copley, Oscar worthy), who goes through the most dramatic change seen on screen since I can't think of when, both literally and figuratively. Everything about this film is 1st-rate. The screenplay is brilliant, the technical aspects are fantastic, and the direction and tone are spot-on. If someone unconvered this film in a time capsule, not knowing it is a fictional work, it's almost believeably enough that you could think it was actual history. It's that good. For once a film left me with something I rarely wish for...a sequel.
AWARDS -- PGA WINNER!!!

#6 of 2009...UP IN THE AIR
Nothing is harder than following success in Hollywood. And after directing Thank You For Smoking and Juno, Jason Reitman had his work cut out for him. Fortunately, Up in the Air is a wonderful film, at times heartbreaking, at times hilarious, and at times honestly truthful. The tale of a man who fires others for a living is not exactly an easy one, but due to the charm, wit, and sheer starpower of George Clooney, it becomes a performance to admire. For me, the best performances were given by the women of the film. Vera Farmiga has never been sexier (or better) as a fellow frequent-flier who strikes up a relationship with Clooney. I thought she was one of the best things about The Departed back in 06, and yet she was completely passed over when it came to recognition. She's earning it here, and she deserves it. Also, Anna Kendrick's turn as a new fresh-faced young upstart who has far-too-big asperations to turn Clooney's company around in the face of sheer profit is something she should be proud of. She can take her nomination and shove if in her "Twilight" co-stars face, proving that a cliche role in a popular series can amazingly NOT be a career killer.
#7 of 2009...I LOVE YOU, MAN
Let it be said and known to the world now...if (as an actor) I could ever work with one guy in a comedy film, that guy would be Jason Segel. The guy is BRILLIANT, and his performance (along with a wonderful turn by Paul Rudd), make this film not only the best "buddy" comedy of the year, but the best comedy film of the year...period. The journey of a man to find some "bro" friends is heartfelt, hilarious, and at times disturbing, but the chemistry of the cast, along with the hilarious dialogue and brutally honest subject matter make for a film that may be at slight times a little too close to home, but nonetheless, gets funnier and funnier with each viewing. Oh, and it's RIDICULOUSLY quotable. "Slappin the bass", "Laters on the menjai", these are now offically in my lexicon.
#8 of 2009...STAR TREK
The last few years have brought up several "reboots" of classic franchises, but none have succeeded such admirably as Star Trek. The sheer joy of the TV franchise shows thru on the big-screen, and the casting is pitch-perfect. The realistic and "futuristic" camera-work, along with a storyline that (OMG) actually makes sense (!!!), this Star Trek should and will fuel the franchise into a complete restarting, and reimagining. PS...bonus points for bringing back Leonard Nimoy, in a role that he himself thought was wonderful.
#9 of 2009...UP
The most dependable studio for over a decade now has been Pixar. The studio that broke the mold, and gave the world the first-EVER completely computer-generated animated film. From the start, Pixar has been a beacon by which all other animated film studios are measured. And while some specific films has reached similar heights (Shrek, Spirited Away), the fact is, no studio, animated or live-action, has produced such reliably and wonderfully as Pixar. In fact, 5 different films (including Up), each made it on my personal top-ten lists of their respective years this decade, including Ratatouille taking the #1 spot in 2007. This particular story, of a lonely old-man (voice wonderfully by Ed Asner), flying his house down to South America, as a tribute to his late wife's lifelong wishes, touches the heart, ignites the soul, and signals the laughter in all ages. Up is a truly wondrous film. And the "married life" montage earns my vote as the best single "scene" in any film this year. Never has 4 minutes shown and made real so many emotions.
