Well another year has gone by and good and bad movies have emerged. It is time to honour the movies of both sides of the spectrum with the 2009 movie awards. Please note I do not have supernatural ability and have not seen all notable films of 2009 this includes Inglorious Bastards and Precious (by the way every time they say the title of that film they say based on a novel push by Sapphire I don't get it). So without further due here are the films of 09.
Biggest Surprise:
Watchmen actually getting realised
Apparently it sucked I have not seen it so I can not comment. But the war between Fox and Warner came to a halt and the long awaited film got released. Now if it where only as good as the graphic novel (witch by the way is awesome)
Runner up: District 9
Best Action movie:
The Hurt Locker
No real competition in this category. It was this or G.I. Joe (and if I had to pick G.I. Joe I would be shot upon posting this). Despite its haters the Academy Award winner for best picture was a great movie that kept you on the edge of your seat to the end of the show. That and some awesome characters made this one heck of a ride through a life of a bomb diffuser.
Runner up: Sigh G.I. Joe
Awesomeness line of the year:
"Madame I need you to remain calm and trust me, I'm a professional. Beneath this pillow lies the key to my release." Sherlock Holmes. The girl runs and screams, guess witch area the pillow covers!
Runner up: 80% of the dialogue Bones says in Star Trek
Best Drama:
Up in the Air
Funny, cool, and satisfying. Three words that describe this awesomeness film about a guy who fires people for a living. With George Clooney (man I hate that guy) putting on a great performance. It also had a great story and wonderful characters and witty writing.
Runner up: Public Enemies
Best Trailer of the year:
Star Trek trailer 2
I really really wanted to put the watchmen trailer at this spot but than I found out it was released in 2008 and well this is the 2009 movie awards. The close second was this awesome Star Trek trailer. Really well edited it hit the important parts of the movie and got you really jacked up for it. Turns out the movie was awesome to witch is a bonus.
Runner up: Avatar trailer 2
Best Screen play:
District 9
This film doesn't get enough credit at all. Weather for its awesome action scenes great plot or well developed characters. I mean this film was made with 30 million dollars!!! That is a low budget film with high budget looking action scenes. Well back to the screenplay. Ya up in the air came real close but it dose not match the power this script provides. Not just that but Neil Blomcamp took a 5 minute short film and turned it into a well written full length masterpiece.
Runner up: Up in the Air
Best Sci-Fi movie
Avatar
Surprisingly the most hotly contested genre categories of the year it was a really tough choice. Avatar barley beets out District 9 and even Star Trek. Avatar had it all great story, big production values, awesome action scenes and the best 3D by far that anyone has seen yet. It is an awesome movie that deserves every cent of the over 2 Billion it made worldwide.
Runner Up: District 9
Most Disappointing:
Sherlock Holmes:
Sigh, I had really high expectations for this film and well how do I say it nicely... Failed most of them miserably. The only thing that saved this thing from fullness was Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Nuf said.
Runner up: Transformers 2
Best Director:
James Cameron for Avatar:
This guy no's how to make a freaking movie. Not only that but when all the business people said that this movie wouldn't make any money and guess what it made 2 Billion dollars. A great plot awesome camera work and good writing James Cameron propelled his vision to awesomeness.
Runner up: Neil Bloncamp for District 9
Worst Film of the year:
And the nominees are:
Transformers 2
2012
G Force
And the loser is:
2012
I would have preferred to watch Transformers 2 5 times in a row than watch this film. It in one word is horrible. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E the main characters aren't even developed and yet they expect you to care about all these random stupid family members and friends. I would have been happier just watching the world explodes for an hour without characters and story. Ya it was that crappy
Runner up: G Force
Movie of the Year (Best Picture):

Avatar
District 9
The Hurt Locker
Public Enemies
Up in the Air

James Cameron's epic had a lot going against it. The massive budget, the predictions about how much it could make, and the "Titanic" (get it huh huh ok that was bad) expectations. Well not only did it make over 2 Billion dollars but it also exceeded all of my expectations with flying colors. Also the 3D was awesome and the only movie I thought was worth paying the extra $5 for. An awesome movie and the best film of 2009.
