Moon, is probably my favorite movie of 2009.  It's definitely in the top 3.  It's a  Sci-fi movie, with many similarities to 2001: A Space Odyssey.  If you like that type of movie then I suggest you look no further into learning about the plot.  Just go into it with as little knowledge as possible to get the best of the movie.  I havn't included the wikipedia link this time because it gives away the entire movie.  So only check out IMDB, no spoilers there.

In case you are wondering, my other favorite movies of 2009 will be posted soon!

Not much to say about this movie.  Usually I skip out on scary flicks.  But I decided to see it because it has a 7.5 on IMDB with almost 40,000 votes, and has made $80 million at the box office.  So after several hours of studying, I put it on around 11pm, simply because you gotta watch scary movies late at night! 

It's one of those that you feel in the beginning it might be toned down for kids, or to get a lighter rating, or for comedic effect.  But...nope, still scary.  Nothing too gory, but still something that's able to freak you out.  Also sometimes I felt I was predicting the plot (and I hate it when I'm right.)  It's not gonna be an immediate favorite of mine, like The Ring or In The Mouth of Madness, but something scary to see that doesn't have that horror-generalized dark overtone.

Oh yeah, the kid from the Apple (Mac) commercials plays the boyfriend/fiance of the main character.  I didn't recognize her from anything, but she's not bad at all.  It was directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman and Evil Dead movies.)

I got word from some co-workers that Riverfront Bar-B-Q has the best BBQ in Albany, Georgia.  I paid them a visit last Saturday around lunch and below you can see some pictures.  As for the location, it's smacked in the middle of the historical area of Albany, where the most tourists would be found (if there are any who knows?)  The staff was friendly and they informed me of the 4 different homemade sauces:  Sweet, Spicy, Mustard BBQ, and Vinegar base.  As I waited for my BBQ Pork Combo plate (with coleslaw and baked beans) I tested out each sauce.  I knew immediately that my tastebuds wanted a mixture of the Vinegar and the Spicy sauces.  Then I had a glass of tea (free refills) and it was refreshing after walking in the heat.  But, on the the food...the meat and sauces was excellent!  10 out of 10 stars, it was damn good, and I was happy.  However, the baked beans were very drab and I would rather have had a double of the awesome coleslaw.  The one thing that bothered me, was that it only included 1 piece of bread, and then when I went to get another slice, I was told it would be $1.07 per extra slice!  Crazy talk!  I had already paid $10 for the meal, and at least in Texas I've never had to pay for a slice of bread at a BBQ restaurant.  If I ever go back, I'll be gettin mine to go!  If you are in the area, visit them at 105 W Broad Avenue.

I watched The Proposal a while back and thought I would comment since I didn't find it to be unbearable.  So I've pretty much decided not to waste my time reviewing or recommending movies that I didn't like.

This movie is pretty fair, it's a romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.  You can prolly guess it is about them getting married, and of course at first they are at each other's throats and then they end up in love.  Sure it is predictable and it's simple but after my head exploding 2000 times a day, sometimes it needs a break!  So not a lot of attention needed.  Worth getting on Netflix perhaps for the gf.  Enjoy.

I know it has been months (April) since I've done a movie review.  We all know that the lack of reviews doesn't mean I haven't been watching movies!

So first up, is the movie 12.  It was nominated for an Academy Award.  I've had this movie for a while, finally got around to watching it last night.  Another foreign flick, this time from Russia, which means you have to read subtitles.  I really prefer subs over dubbed any day.  So the movie takes from the original 12 Angry Men, puts a Russian flavor, and in general I would recommend it if you are able to make it through movies with subs.  I feel asleep once, not the fault of the flick, but it had been a long day!  There are no known actors, but all gave respectable performances.  Apparently (from wikipedia) there are some underlying aspects of the movie that only those familiar with Russian history would get.  I still liked it though.  Overall, happy that I watched it.
