'09 Revisited

Earlier this year I listed the most anticipated films of '09. The year is now coming to an end and it is time to double check the list:

  • Terminator Salvation - Never saw it. It got terrible reviews, meant to see it on DVD - but couldn't be bothered in the end.
  • Boondock Saints II, All Saints Day - Good film. Not as good as the first one, but no one expected it to be. I experienced my first (and hopefully last) full blown skull splitting migraine attack while seeing the film in theatre so the second part of it a bit hazy...
  • Inglourious Basterds - Kicked ass! So good I had to see it twice in theatre. The second time I apparently fell asleep and snored my way through the whole thing, but that's beside the point.
  • X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Liked this a lot. Saw it in theatre, bought it the second it came out on DVD.
  • Watchmen - It was everything I expected it to be. Just another proof of the genius of fellow Northamptonian Alan Moore.
  • Public Enemies - Johnny Depp delivered! This movie had everything a man can possibly desire: Bank Heists, 20's slang and Leelee Sobieski.

I've seen some trailers that make '010 look like another sweet film year, guess we have to wait and see.
