3 movies i want to recommend
Here are the 3 best movies of 2009 that got our adrenaline pumping and the dynamite exploding. We love good movies and have seen hundreds in our time.
- The Messenger. You know that gut-wrenching moment in any war-related film where a mother or father or wife opens the door to find two military men on the doorstep, and their presence alone signifies that inconceivable tragedy? Oren Moverman’s powerful debut is full of them — making this drama starring Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson (in career-best performances) one of the year’s hardest films to watch. But The Messenger movie download also one of the most rewarding, an insightful character study that’ll leave you moved.
- The Hangover. Not since ‘Borat’ have we laughed as hard (and constantly) as during ‘The Hangover,’ the rare laugher in which nearly every scene is hysterical. Sure, it made Bradley Cooper leading man material, but the real stars are breakout Zach Galifianakis — who steals every single scene he speaks in — and Ken Jeong’s (making stereotypes hilarious as Mr. Chow). Add in Ed Helms’ missing tooth and a Phil Collins-loving Mike Tyson, and that’s the formula for laughing till you cry. Watch The Hangover movie the biggest comedy of all time for a reason.
- Up. Everyone knew Pixar’s latest was going to be good (it’s Pixar, duh!), but nothing about “an old man attaches balloons to his house and flies away” prepared us for the heartbreaking sadness, the meltingly tender love story, the wondrous journey and the irrepressible sense of fun that permeated this truly exquisite film. It’s no small thing to say this, but download up full movie might just be the best movie Pixar’s ever made.
