Top Films Of 2009



1. AVATAR

Ignore the predictability of the story and just enjoy the sheer spectacle. You too will want to be a Na'vi.

2. STAR TREK

Everything a re-make should be.

3. SEVEN POUNDS

Will Smith gives an excellent portrayal of a man looking to make amends.

4. INGLORIOUS BASTERDS

Tarantino is back on form with this WWII drama. Top notch script and great performances all round.

5. THE HANGOVER

Most unusual these days, a comedy that's actually funny and literally about a hangover. Brilliant.

6. WATCHMEN

Dark comic book adaptation.

7. SURVEILLANCE

Violent unpredictable drama.

8. DISTRICT 13: ULTIMATUM

Not as good as the original but Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle should be given a break in Hollywood after another amazing set of action scenes.

9. X MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

Appearances by Marvel characters Gambit and Deadpool along with another good turn by Jackman and great action earn this one a place on the list.

10. DEFIANCE

Daniel Craig is much better than any of his Bond performances in this WWII tale of survival.

  3. Hello There Kinsh,
    Is Avatar worse than Pirahna II ?

    District 9 doesn't appear as I didn't catch it until recently, I agree it was good but it took ages to get going.

    Sherlock Holmes didn't make it, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about, still can't.

    I haven't saw Public Enemies, Christian Bale puts me off.

  4. yes it is as although Cameron is given official credit for Pirahna II he actually only directed it for a week before he was replaced by Ovidio G. Assonitis who was also the producer of the film
