A look at 2009



This video has been circulating the web today, and I thought it served as a nice reminder of how much I've enjoyed this year in film.

Many have said to me that they think it's a weak year, but I just can't agree with them. Especially coming off of last year (now THAT, my friends, is a weak year...), I have really enjoyed the innovation and variety that 2009 has offered me.

There's quite a bit missing from the video—namely Bright Star (did ANYONE else besides me see this beautiful little movie?), An Education, and A Single Man.

Enjoy. And AMPAS should really consider themselves lucky that this is the first year of ten Best Picture nominations.

  1. I missed Bright Star unfortunately, gone before I realized!I love that they included the carriage scene from 'Away We Go' - one of my absolute favorite quirky scenes in this year's films! And of course the theme of BROMANCE had to be included!

  2. Do you know the name of the song in the video? It was used in the Wild Things preview too and I love it...
