Howdy, and welcome to my blog. I'm Tom Helberg and I love movies. I'll try to update this blog as often as I can with film reviews for your edification. Hopefully, I can help you find something worth watching. Even though it's a bit late, I wanted my first post to be my Top 10 for 2008. Normally I would elabortate on my feelings on these films, but this list is late and you're probably burned out on reading these sorts of things. However, I will say that I'm still bitter that the Academy snubbed my top two films for Best Picture and Best Director nominations. Seriously, how did Frost/Nixon do it?
1. The Dark Knight
2. The Wrestler
3. Slumdog Millionaire
4. Doubt
5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
6. Valkyrie
7. Iron Man
8. Burn After Reading
9. Wall-E
10. Synecdoche, New York
Favorite Performances:
1. Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
2. Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
3. Robert Downy, Jr. - Tropic Thunder
4. Richard Jenkins - The Visitor
5. Brad Pitt - Burn After Reading
Most Hated Film of the Year: Mamma Mia!

I have to agree with The Dark Knight being no. 1
ReplyDeleteNot sure why Wall-E is on there though.
ReplyDeleteGlad someone else agrees with me on The Dark Knight. The first 45 minutes of Wall-E were pretty fantastic, considering none of the characters said a word. It's when they got to the spaceship that it got a little less interesting.
