I was right. I can count the number of times i went to the theater last year on my fingers. As far as i can remember, these are the ten movies i went to see in 2009.

1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Taken
3. Sin Nombre
4. Star Trek (IMAX)
5. UP (3D)
6. Funny People
7. District 9
8. 9
9. Fantastic Mr. Fox
10. Avatar (IMAX 3D)

Slumdog won Best Picture. Liam Neeson was surprisingly entertaining as a middle-aged Jason Bourne in Taken. Sin Nombre was a gritty train ride. Star Trek was probably the most incredible sci-fi flick to date. Up was the first movie i’ve ever seen in 3D (with glasses). Pixar packs so much story and emotion into into their little montages, without using any words. Funny People had jokes. Girls didn’t like District 9. 9 was an amazing vision with an slightly less-than-satisfying conclusion. Mr. Fox was a quirky tale saved by an appropriately quirky soundtrack. And… Avatar. I didn’t like it; the chrome finish wasn’t enough to cover up a rusty script.
