Lets Shake it Up

Two movies are being added to my top 10 list...

Up in the Air (5 Stars)- This movie was awesome. The plot was very well written. There is so much going on in this movie. Romance, comedy, and a chance to reflect on what is going on in our economy right now with all the downsizing that is going on. George Clooney is at his best, and in my opinion, the favorite for the Best Actor Oscar. Both Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick have a shot at Supporting Actress. I had a tough time deciding were I wanted to put this on my list. For right now it is going 3rd. I wasn't sure if i wanted to put it above Avatar or not. I have decided it is a better overall movie than Avatar by a little bit. Up in the Air is my Oscar best picture winner right now. (Assuming (500) Days of Summer and District 9 are not nominees, which they are not projecting to be at this moment by critics)

Inglourious Basterds (4 Stars) - This was a super fun movie. Christoph Waltz was the best part of this movie. I loved his performance. I hope he gets a Best Supporting Actor nod. I believe he played a bigger role in the movie than Brad Pitt did. Nothing against Brad Pitt, who put on a great performance as well, but Waltz made the movie. I have never been a big fan of Quentin Tarantino movies but I did really enjoyed watching this. I am going to have to put this 10th for now.


1. (500) Days of Summer (5 Stars)
2. District 9 (5 Stars)
3. Up in the Air (5 Stars)
4. Avatar (5 Stars)
5. Transformers 2 (5 Stars)
6. Star Trek (4 Stars)
7. The Hurt Locker (4 Stars)
8. The Blind Side (4 Stars)
9. Adventureland (4 Stars)
10. Inglourious Basterds (4 stars)

I shock up the bottom half of my list. To determine where to place my four star movies I asked my self which one i would give a 5 to first. So obviously, Star Trek would get a 5 first, then The Hurt Locker, and so on.

I also watched The Hangover which I gave 4 stars. If I extended this list I would place it 11th.
