2008 All Over Again

So I was writing this "best of 2009 so far list" and I looked back at the 2008 list and the movies I had not seen yet. So I thought I'd say something about some movies I now had a chance to see

"Haven’t seen and will not see: Sex and the City, Max Payne, Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, What Happens in Vegas, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, 27 Dresses, Semi Pro, Hottie and the Nottie, Babylon A.D., Transporter 3, The Love Guru, Superhero Movie, Step Up 2: The Streets,
Haven’t seen and probably will eventually: Felon, Fool’s Gold, Drillbit Taylor, W., Never Back Down, Traitor, Bangkok Dangerous, Pride and Glory, Street Kings, The Forbidden Kingdom,
Haven’t seen and will defiantly see: A Wednesday, Jerusalema, Sunshine Cleaning, The Children ,Mom and Dad, Tales of the Despereux, Inkheart, Last Chance Harvey, The Good the Bad and the Weird, The Edge of Love"

So I know I said I wouldn't but I actually watched what happens in vegas. It's just ok, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, Kutcher and Diaz are actually pretty funny, and although it was still very cliched it was actually quite enjoyable (6/10). Sunshine Cleaning was great, it's quircky and offbeat just like its cousins Juno and Little Miss Sunshine, the story is funny (basically a family runs a crime scence clean up business) and Amy Adams is adorable as always (8/10), The Children was a better than average horror movie with some cool death scenes but alas a bit cliched, for fans of the genre only (5/10), Mom and Dad was great tho, this is british horror at its best and this brutal no-budget flick is one of the best in the genre from 2008 (7/10), I also watched Inkhear and was quite disapointed, this is my kind of movie you know? a childrens fantasy flick is something I usually love and while I didn't think this was awful I was also not charmed by it at all, its worth your Sunday afternoon if its airing on tv but don't go out og your way to see it (5/10)

And that's all I've seen from 2008 since I made the list, still a couple that I'm sure will be good, I'll get to them eventually. Expect a 2009 mid-year list soon!
