2009 in Film
A tie this year. Go and consume these. If you don’t at least enjoy them… well then, I pity you. Also: please endeavor not to reproduce.
The Brothers Bloom [brothersbloom.com] – A love letter to the great con-artist movies of cinema, Rian Johnson’s incredibly enjoyable and entirely overlooked jaunt is finally out on Blu-Ray and DVD, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Although this film falls just shy of being “One of My Favorite Movies” (i.e. where my love of it is so absolute that I consider my fandom a part of who I am), it’s sooooo damn close. Also, Rachel Weisz.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox [fantasticmrfoxmovie.com] – The latest “One of My Favorite Movies”! I think Wes Anderson has finally stumbled upon how to pace is comedic timing perfectly for my brain. Words can’t describe how much I love this film. I therefore won’t try. Also, George Clooney.
Music to come!

Wow, a Mark Ruffalo movie I haven’t seen. Thanks for that.
I’ve heard good things about Fantastic Mr Fox, but still haven’t been to see it. George Clooney’s having a bumper good season, what with Up in the Air sitting on 90% (and Mr Fox at 93%) on Rotten Tomatoes.
