I will say Sherlock Holmes is worth every penny of the movie ticket I paid for!  (I actually paid for two, since I took my wife with me  ;D).  I would highly recommend it.  I don't remember there be much language (if any), there is PG-13 "nudity" which is a bare back and Robert Downey Jr. basically without a shirt on "the hand-cuff scene."  You see MUCH worse on tv, and they made the movie to fit Downey, so if you like him it is a must see.

Agree completely with Crash! Gretel and I thought the movie was phenomenal! So well thought out and inquisitive. Of course, we actually got to be at Baker Street and see the house.. ::)....and we still want to know how you get to Tower Bridge from Parliament in less than 5 minutes running underground....since it's at LEAST a 30 minute walk...but then again, neither of us are Sherlock Holmes...

True,whats the best movie of the entire decade?
Movie? I'm going to say Batman Begins. I never saw Passion of the Christ, but I heard that was the best from a secular critic. series? Lord of the Rings, Bourne comes in second though... I am Legend was also exceptional.

Hm...I can't really remember the entire decade...but I remember there being a lot of good stuff in 2003/04 (such as Johnny English).

See: High Noon.  (It's basically a western told in the same format as 24, clocks and all, but was made in the 50s.)

I'm just having a hard time determining which James Cameron film is the best.   :o

I thought 2012 was not great at all. I knew everything that was gonna happen, and the same thing kept happening over and over.

If you like excitement and intensity, 2012 is a great choice.

I really enjoyed District 9, coolest movie I've seen in a while... but since it's R I guess that's all I can say. For adults out there, I recommend it.

For family movies... just saw "cloudy with a chance of meatballs," and it was really good! It surprised me! It's great for what it is -- funny, entertaining, silly, and able to be seen by just about anyone.

I guess I don't watch very many movies.

2009 movies I saw, ranked by how much I liked them.

* means I watched it in the theater.  Otherwise it was a DVD view.

1. The Blind Side* <- I teared up
2. Up   <- I cried like a baby and held my wife for like 2 hours straight after that one.  :(
3. G.I Joe ** (Saw it twice in theater.  I'm a fanboy.  Hated cardboardman as Duke.  Loved the rest.  Violent for kiddies, though.)
4. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs* - a lot funnier (and funner!) than I expected
5. Star Trek - sorry, but I didn't like Kirk's character.  I know it is the effects of not having a father, but still... yuck!
6. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - not bad, but not that good, either

I still hope to see Invictus.

I agree with this.  I thought that all the other characters were about as good as the originals (or better in the case of Uhura).  But I also felt like Kirk's character was really destroyed.  In the originals, he was arrogant but in the new one he is sarcastically arrogant.  In the originals, he is always romancing women, but in the new one he is just a jerk to women.  In the originals, he was supremely focused on command and the safety of the Enterprise, but in the new one he is supremely focused on himself and doesn't care about the safety of anything.  In the originals, he was a well-rounded character with strengths and weaknesses, but in the new one he is a stereotypical rebel without a cause.

My favorite movie in 2009 - Up :)

As I have mentioned before, I go to see movies to relax and have fun.  As such my favorites from this last year include Transformers, Avatar, GI Joe, etc.  But Bryon got me to thinking about movies that make me cry.  Here is the list off the top of my head (there may be more I've forgotten):

Passion of the Christ
The Sound of Music  (every single time Mother Abbess sings to Maria)
The D-Day sequence of Saving Private Ryan
Brian's Song
Forrest Gump
Old Yeller
Braveheart
Field of Dreams
Gladiator
Titanic
Frequency
It's a Wonderful Life
White Christmas

Forrest Gump made you cry? I was just ticked off at Jenny for being such a tramp the whole movie.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!
