Tarantino's Top 8 of 2009

Having not seen Avatar, Invictus and The Lovely Bones (and leaving his movie out)

1. Star Trek
2. Drag Me To Hell
3. Funny People
4. Up in the Air
5. Chocolate
6. Observe & Report
7. Precious
8. An Education

Honorable Mentions to Bright Star and District 9.

Other than Chocolate that seems awefully mainstream, isn't Tarentino the guy who's supposed to highlite obscure Cambodian films or something.
Worth dying for
Worth killing for
Worth going to hell for
Amen

I like that list a lot, but Duplicity stood out as strange to me. Maybe it is worth a watch...

I know, very strange. When they reviewed it in March they gave it a C+.

Yeah, I thought it was fine, but basically unremarkable.
