My 2009 Movie List
Here's a list of all the movies I watched last year and a short review!
1. Changeling
- Disturbing and sad but interesting and entertaining
3.5/5
2. Bride Wars
- Was disappointed with this movie
2.5/5
3. Doubt
-Left the cinema feeling "doubt"-ful. Lame, I know.
2.5/5
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- Loved this movie. Contrary to what other people felt about it being "slow" and "boring", I really enjoyed it and thought it was fantastic!
5/5
"Most touching movie of 2009"
5. Slumdog Millionaire
- Really loved this movie as well. It was super exciting, and there was never a moment of me feeling bored whilst watching this! Really loved the storyline and how the film was shot.
5/5
"Feel-good movie of 2009"
6. He's just not that into you
- Didn't really like this
2.5/5
7. New in Town
-Not bad, quite funny, but not memorable!
3/5
8. Valkyrie
- Nice, but not great
3/5
9. Push
- Hated this, a waste of time
1/5
10. Coming Soon
- Ooh, this was an exciting Thai horror movie, which was pretty funny as well.
3.5/5
11. The Unborn
-Absolute crap
2/5
12. The Fast & The Furious 4
- Boring and lousy. They should stop making anymore of these movies. I loved the first one, didn't mind the second one...but it has gone downhill from there.
2/5
13. Confessions of a Shopaholic
- Funny and entertaining! Isla Fisher is funny, but too bad she's not really in a lot of movies.
3.5/5
14. Star Trek
- This movie was super great! It was touching, entertaining, exciting and everything you can ask for in an adventure movie!
5/5
"Most exciting movie"
15. Monsters VS Aliens (3D)
- It was a pretty nice movie, but I don't remember it being anything spectacular
3/5
16. The Taking of Pelham 123
- Not bad
3/5
17. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
- I don't understand everyone's obsession with Transformers and Megan Fox! I hate the script for Transformers and how it only appeals to transformers fans! What about other people who have never watched Transformers cartoons before, or are not Megan Fox fans? Like me!!! I only liked it when Shia Labeouf had a spasm! :) Haha.
2/5
18: Obsessed
- A very entertaining movie. Quite enjoyed it actually! Made me hate Ali Larter, she was seriously a psycho bitch. Haha. But Beyonce definitely kicked butt in this movie. She was
HEE-LA-RIOUS! haha.
3.5/5
19: Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
- I was looking forward to this movie VERY VERY much, because for once I had just read the book in time for the movie and it was fresh in my mind, but I guess that's why it added to the disappointment because I was expecting much more! :(
"Most disappointing movie"
20: Public Enemies
- I can't really remember this movie. But I remembered quite liking it? I think? Oh wells.
3/5
21: UP (3D)
- I absolutely ADORED this movie, the storyline, the music, the animation was just wonderful and it has got to be one of the best animation movies ever! :)
Recently, I bought it on DVD and whilst watching the making of the movie, I found out that Paradise Falls really does exist!!! It is actually located somewhere around Venezuela, and what made it more fantastic for me was when I saw the crew actually traveled all the way there, climbed up the mountain and camped there in crazy conditions, all in the name of making a wonderful animated movie!
5/5
" Best Animated Movie of 2009"
22: Orphan
-Ooh I definitely enjoyed this movie. It was exciting and the twist in the storyline was 0h-so-good. Haha. I watched it on video again recently, and it was still good, even though I already knew the ending!
4/5
"Best Horror/Thriller of 2009"
23: The Final Destination (3D)
- Oh, this movie was TERRIBLE. I don't know whether the 3D glasses made it better or worse, because on one hand, it was more entertaining with the glasses, but it also meant that I paid $3 more for crap. :/
1/5
24: District 9
- Ooh, was very excited to watch this movie, and it definitely didn't disappoint. All the actors were unknown, but the movie was no letdown! I loved it. Kept me entertained the whole way, only bad thing was that the ending kept me wanting more!
4/5
25: The Proposal
- Funny movie!
3.5/5
26: The Time Traveler's Wife
- Although not as fantastic as the book, (which I had already expected), this movie was still touching and sweet
3.5/5
27: Coco Avant Chanel
- Not too sure how I felt about this. It was nice, yet somehow, didn't have a point to it? Which I guess was its point, since it's just supposed to be about Coco Chanel's life.
3/5
28: G-force
- Didn't like this
2/5
29: Inglourious Basterds
- Oh my, I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! Another great movie with Brad Pitt this year! I love him, he gets better as he grows older! Anyway, this movie was just PERFECTO! So fantastic!!!
Quentin Tarantino is a genius! :):):)
5/5
"Most entertaining/keeps you on the edge of your seat movie 2009"
30: Fame
- SO BORING. *yawn*
1/5
31: Phobia 2
- Not as good as the first one, but the last story in this movie is worth waiting for. So so funny!!!
3/5
32: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
- Nice!
3/5
33: Julie & Julia
- This movie is so simple, yet so engaging. It was touching and sweet and though I can't put a finger to what about it that is so great, I definitely enjoyed it! :)
4/5
34: Halloween 2
-Another lousy horror flick. They should stop making Halloween movies!!!
1/5
35: My Girlfriend is an Agent
- Pretty funny
3/5
36: 2012
- I am definitely a fan of disaster movies, and this movie without a doubt falls into that category, which already made it enjoyable for me. HAHA. But nevertheless, this movie was very touching, well made and kept me glued to the screen!
4/5
"Best disaster movie of all time!"
37: A Christmas Carol
- LOUSY. It was super boring and meaningless!!! :(
1/5
38: Fantastic Mr.Fox
- I think many people missed out on this movie, which is sad, because it is as FANTASTIC as its title!!! Watched this movie with my family, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. From my 8 year old cousin to my 50+ year old Godma, it was a movie for everyone! REALLY REALLY well made!
Please go rent it if you haven't watched it!
4/5
"Best kids-adults movie of 2009"
39: New Moon
- Disappointing!!! I really enjoyed Twilight even though there were many who pointed out how lousy it was. Well, it wasn't apparent to me then...but New Moon is just Terrible! :(
3/5
( i would actually give it a 2.5./5, but for nini's sake, i'll give it a 3, cos she "loved it" and thought it was very "funny"!!!Haha)
40: Planet 51
- Ok
3/5
41: Couples Retreat
-Recommended by Nini and Mimi, a funny movie!
3.5/5
42: Princess & The Frog
- Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would! :(
3/5
43: Avatar
- Ooh I liked this movie! It was so interesting and beautiful!
4/5
44: Sherlock Holmes
- I really thought I would LOVE this movie, because I was so looking forward to it. But when I did watch it, I fell asleep! :(
Which leads me to think that it was boring?
2/5
Ok, that's all for my list!
Omg, I should get an award for writing 2 posts in 1 day! And actually, I'm blogging to no one...!!haha. So I should get another award! LOL.

don't agree with your rating system but what's a cheche to do?!?!? ok i NEED to comment on the movies i've watched too!!
Changeling - din watch. angelina fan? NO!
Bride wars - din watch. romantic comedy fan? NO!
Doubt - aiyo draggy and strange la. Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers stirring performance as always but overall the movie was a snooze crooze.
Benjamin Button - FRIGGIN FANTASTIC!!! WHY didn't anybody else ilke it as much??? boring, they said. SLOW they said, PREDICTABLE they said. crazy or wat???? so so beautifully done, this was a real tear-jerker man. and who can disagree with Brad Pitt in tight beige pants and a leather jacket biking one-handed along the coastline??
Slumdog Millionnaire - totally agree. Fantastic fantastic fantastic
He's Just Not that into you - hello...romantic comedy
New in town - din watch
Valkyrie - I would have given slightly lower rating cos though it was generally a good-intentioned movie, the development was so forgettable.
Push - no
coming soon - 2 words CHA BA!! hahahahahah. hilarious horror movie.
The Unborn - wah LAU!!! wat a WASTE OF MY LIFE!! give me my TIME BACK!! i would rate it -5!!
Fast & Furious - no
confessions - nope
Star Trek - AWESOME! GEEKS are HOT!
No Monsters, no Pelham
Transformers - AAGH!! Tiff! i AM a transformers fan and i was completely disappointed with this bunch of crap. Wat the hell is up with the story line and the overacting and the abundant propaganda trying to get every man woman and robott to join the US army?!?! TOTALLY love Josh Duhamel, don't get me wrong, but aiyo was way too long, robots way too quick to transform, and wat's up with Megan fox not being able to close her mouth? I think the pound of lip gloss she put on air dries. although i totally enjoyed Shia spasming it up too!
Obssessed - no. but heard was a blast!
HP6 - aiyo this was SOO disappointing. my mistake was reading the book just before the movie came out so i would feel caught up. So sad la - badly done.
Public Enemies - really wanted a dose of Depp but didn't get the chance to load up on this one.
UP - OMIGOODNESS!! favourite couple cartoon of all time!! It is the SWEETEST thing and the animation is breathtaking! Totally blown away by the making of too.
Orphan - fun fun fun!!
Final Destination - tak nampak
District 9 - a surprisingly refreshing take on alien inhabitation. well done i thought.
Inglourious Basterds - FWAH!!! i can watch this over and over again and continue being entertained. Definitely a keeper. Brad's acting is severely underrated. poor pretty boy. maybe he trying to mask it now with this ridiculous Hobo-esque goatee.
Cloudy - cute cute. not my all time favourite but definitely fun in 3D.
H2 - wah lau. soft porn with no excuse. MICHAEL BAY SHOULD STOP MAKING FILMS!! 2 pieces of utter crap in the same year. too much for us to take.
2012 - well i have a penchant for disaster movies but this was really interesting. characters were pretty fun and the use of Ng Chin Han was unexpected. good la, overall very enjoyable and not depressing.
Fantastic Mr. fox - I would have given it 10 out of 5!!!! it was done SOOOO beautifully..the expressions, the textures, the music, the sounds, the movements, the proportions...i could go on and on. but i AM a Wes Andersen fan.
Princess and the Frog - I'm confused about this one. enjoyed it but not that much. but it wasn't lousy, and in fact it was quite an inspiring love story. original and sweet but slightly too much music. haha.
Avatar - LOVED it!!! even though i missed 15 minutes of it when they just met each other cos i had a tummy ache. hahaha. But the colours and sounds and music...man i want to visit Pandora, even if just for a day. Those hanging mountains are incredible. and the bioluminescence is just crazy!!
THANKS TEEF!!! Had so much fun reminiscing. haha
ooooh. FUN!
i wanna comment too!
I am not a TRUE BLUE MOVIE-ADDICT like you guys, so i shall comment on a few i've watched in 2009!!
Changeling - LOVE IT! I thought the story was beautiful & i guess i'm just into these kinda melo-emotional movies? =/ 7.5/10!
Doubt - LOVE IT AGAIN! Some parts were slightly confusing, but overall, i enjoyed it. Felt that DOUBT was portrayed with a pretty interesting plot in a Roman Catholic Church with nuns VERSUS priests as the bite of the movie. Thought that it really showed how "DOUBT" can be so powerful & why having FAITH in something you believe can change lives of everyone; including yourself. & in the end, you wonder.. "What have I done?". Did i do what's right? Did i made a mistake by believing in something that can never be proven right/wrong? What's right/wrong? blah blah. I like how deep the movie ventures into your head & how it is depicted by a simple - at times pretty confusing - plot.
hahas.
8.5/10 - i know you guys hated it!! SORRY! hahahas.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Just when i thought Brad Pitt was maybe maybe, he transformed into a gorgeous hunk - as expected by many. Just when i thought Cate & Tilda was yester-years' news, they came back as such exciting characters in the CC of BB. Thought the show was great. Loved the Love in the movie.
Father-son, Mother-son, Father-Mother, Childhood friends, Adopted Parent & Son, Manhood, Growing Up, Being in Love, Being Out of Love, & in the end, Loving one another like nothing before.
LOVE LOVE THIS.
9/10!!
Slumdog Millionaire
9/10! Need say more?!
New in Town
Typical Love Story in far away states like Alaska where the sun never rises for a month..?
Hahas. But a nicely done one with Renee as crazy career lady. Nothing new, something expected, i can write tonnes of such movies, blah blah... Did i mention the budget seems tight too? If not for Renee, i'd probably not even have watched. =(
