National Board of Review's Best of 2009

Now here's an award to be excited about!

The National Board of Review, a respected movie group, just announced it's Best Picture pic and the other top 10 films of the year.

Normally known for being first out of the gate during awards season, NBR also loves to throw curveballs. And in the movie awards world, curveballs usually mean popular movies that everyone love.

And this list is no different. My comments next to the films in italics. The films after No. 1 are unranked:

Best Film: Up In The Air - Want to see.

Ten Best Films:
AN EDUCATION - Eh.
(500) DAYS OF SUMMER - On my Netflix queue.
THE HURT LOCKER - On my Netflix queue.
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - Didn't love, a little long.
INVICTUS - Want to see.
THE MESSENGER - No interest.
A SERIOUS MAN - No interest.
STAR TREK - YAY! WOOT! My favorite film so far this year.
UP - Always a great thing when an animated film gets chosen.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE - Great, great choice. Wonderful film.

I am in a good mood right now.
