This is just a quick fix to my top five movies of the year list.  I totally forgot about Away We Go.  I did a small write up about it on the bottom of my 6/15/09 post.  I can’t believe how overlooked this movie has been, away-we-goespecially since seeing the Golden Globe nominations.  How Maya Rudolph wasn’t nominated over Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock or Meryl Streep for Best Actress in a Comedy is beyond me. She’s had one of the best lead actress performances of the year that I have seen so far.  This movie could have easily been nominated for Best Comedy.  Maybe it’s because it came out in June, maybe because it’s as much of a drama as it is a comedy; I have no idea.  Regardless, it’s very well done and now available on DVD.  Check it out.

I said that Star Trek shouldn’t get too comfortable in the five spot, but it was knocked out sooner than I expected.  I am actually moving Sugar to five and putting Away We Go at the four spot.  So my revised top five list is as follows…

  1. Fantastic Mr. Fox
  2. Inglorious Bastards
  3. Up in the Air
  4. Away We Go
  5. Sugar

 

As I said before, I will revise this list again once I have seen everything.  Have a great New Years!
